That's a good question...

I'm actually looking at my records & books & movies and drawing a blank. Lots of one or the other but not both. PKD maybe.

I don’t understand what condemning kanye will accomplish.
― Trϵϵship, Monday, 1 October 2018 23:20 (five years ago) link
he's one of the most famous musicians alive and he's supporting Trump with very little information or understanding or context. he should stop. being pissed at him might work
― flappy bird, Monday, 1 October 2018 23:22 (five years ago) link
Maybe. Seems like he has become more of a joke than a dangerous pro trump voice.
― Trϵϵship, Monday, 1 October 2018 23:23 (five years ago) link
PKD was def delusional but I don't think he was a narcissist
fwiw

who caress?

cares too
He seems really contrite whenever he is confronted eith the fact that his outbursts hurt someone else. By all reports he truly loves his family even though most of us see kim kardashian as some kind of human metaphor; her getting robbed precipitated his breakdown last year. I think he’s a guy with manic tendencies that in the past fueled creative work but have now taken him to a dark place and i just can’t look at this and shrug him off as an oportunist. For one the antics don’t seem to be helping his brand.

PKD is the only one that made me stop and think about it. even with the Exegesis & info from the few bios I've read, still don't really think so.

I care to the extent that he has made music i connecred with at an impressionable age. Don’t like seeing him all incoherent and making himself a pariah. Of the things that i care about, it’s number 10,000 or something but it’s the thread topic.

We should lock the thread tho bc i am no longer enjoying sharing unpopular opinions

Him being an eccentric and him having mental illness are different things.
are they? these seem to be the dots you are failing to connect

I think it’s tough with bipolar bc mania is known to fuel creative work but it is a double edged sword. I don’t have bioolar so i can’t speak that eloquently about it. Also I am graduating from this thread.

I posted this on my FB wall earlier tonight, though I'm well aware that nobody really cares.
"There is something alluring about a car wreck; I know. And there is an impulse or magnetism to gawk at famous people who do and say upsetting things.
Our president is one of them. I would argue that we've gotta pay attention to him, even if we don't want to. Until he is no longer president, we're stuck.
There is another very famous person, an American rapper turned pop star, who - particularly in recent years - has gotten more mileage out of being a public jackass than for his music.
Some people enjoy the show, and make a point of defending him. If you're one of those people, this post isn't for you.
If you are tired of this person I'm pointedly not naming - as I am - can I make a suggestion? Turn away. Focus on other things. And most meaningfully, stop clicking on links to stories (that aren't really stories) about him.
Just don't do it.
The less you click, the less of a commodity he continues to be for so many outlets at the expense of more deserving artists of all genres - and the better the chance that he pursues a long, quiet period of reflection and the professional help he desperately needs."

There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue. The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying. https://t.co/4jCFwB4T5U— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) September 30, 2018

Drake's account of what went down w/the Wyoming situations, Pusha-T's diss and everything on Lebron's new HBO show was pretty damning of Kanye, he's a manipulative little shit

didn't see the show but the recap on Stereogum certainly makes a good case for Kanye being a shit and Drake being sensible https://www.stereogum.com/2018640/drake-says-he-shelved-a-pusha-t-response-track/news/
but then of course the last paragraph has me rmde:
At his show in Los Angeles last night, as Pitchfork reports, Drake brought Chris Brown to the stage as a special guest. “I want to share this moment with y’all tonight. This is something I waited a long time for. I got the utmost respect — I think this guy’s one of the most talented human beings on the planet,” he said before Brown performed “Party.” “I never really got my chance to show him. So I figured tonight — in Staples Center, with each and every one of y’all — it would be the perfect time to share this moment.”

I hate to admit it but this week I’m revisiting Kids See Ghosts and I didn’t hate it. I even think that the last three songs in there are some of the best stuff either one of them has been involved with in quite some time.
I think I’ve even played Reborn once every day. I’m a monster.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 03:24 (four years ago) link
Yeah, I don't really care about Kanye anymore (roughly since MBDTF... wow almost 10y !) but that album is not bad and "Reborn" is good.
― AlXTC from Paris, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 09:26 (four years ago) link
reborn is great.
to be clear, he's done many awful things in the past few years--the thing i hated the most was the photo he used for the cover of daytona, extremely exploitative. this is also bad and i hope that george jackson wins the lawsuit.
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 11:49 (four years ago) link
i don't really understand how he continues to release music this good though, given what a mess he is. the stuff he put out last year was a mixed bag but mostly good.

Kanye feeling penitent all of a sudden? Too much of a naughty boy the last year? Gonna break into that alt-right God market with a Christian rap concept album? What now? Changing his nickname from Yeezus to Jesus and the album is him slovenly rapping about how he and all of you should worship him even more now?
