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

i guess i shouldn't be surprised at this point that Kanye and Kim are going to cozy up to all of the world's worst leaders...

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.

new album 'jesus is king,' coming out sept. 27th. per kim k's instagram.

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?

he plays the consequential artist/charlatan thing like a knife-edge. i can't decide but the kidz all seem pretty sprung

somehow people still seem to like kids see ghosts but i don't think even the die-hards really liked ye much. it still manages to seem overrated though when compared to the absurd backlash that chance's new album got
― ufo, Friday, 30 August 2019 16:47 (four years ago) link
kids see ghosts was fine, mostly the songs where kanye was least involved (vocally, anyway)
― jakey mo collier (voodoo chili), Friday, 30 August 2019 17:02 (four years ago) link
cudi is kind of a cult figure among people who were in high school/college in 2010
chance backlash was more at the chance brand than the album itself imo

the stuff about 'stealing samples' upthread is kind of dumb, the deal is he takes losses on the back end to make sure he clears his albums when he needs them to and they dont get bogged down in delays. In other words, he makes way less money in the long run in order to use what samples he wants
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Saturday, 31 August 2019 00:11 (four years ago) link
sacrificing the bottom line for his art, what a heel!
I like "I Love It" and "Real Friends" the most of his recent stuff. Yeezus is interesting and there's a good drum n bass remix of bound 2 lol
