Get your soul sanctified on the Kanye West JESUS IS KING thread

but yeah, squint, look at it from another angle, and he is just the hip hop version of trump. america has a long tradition of these kind of sloppy figures, these people who are at once abject and grandiose, who channel the fears and aspirations of the public, but this might just be a sick tradition. he gains nothing by believing himself to be a "genius" or a "prophet" (he's compared himself to st. paul). and like, america is a dumb country to the extent that we encourage people to take up similarly grand and unrealistic ideas about themselves.

KANYE WEST WILL MOVE THE RELEASE DATE OF DONDA TO AUGUST 6TH. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE ❤️ HE WANTS TO GIVE HIS FANS THE BEST POSSIBLE PRODUCT WITHOUT RUSHING ANYTHING. HE LOVES YALL WITH ALL OF HIS HEART. GOD BLESS 🙏🏾 #DONDA #RESPECTFULLY

It’s never coming out

it'll come out in a few months and still seem obviously unfinished

Gap execs must be getting ulcers.

Chinese Dondacracy

He and Lana Del Rey are in a race not to finish and release their new records.

Ffs

Lana Del Rey?

They both missed recent album release deadlines.

LDR has released good albums in the past decade though.

Ok ok Yeezus and KSG were decent I admit it.

The funny thing about that Kanye West Day thing is that the only source of it seems to be someone sending TMZ a pic of a certificate that he was presented backstage – it hasn't been announced or reported in local Atlanta media, etc. It's like they decided to do it on the DL, for his eyes only.

Yeezus was decent but the idea that kids see ghosts was especially interesting in some way is pure RYM brain

I agree but wanted to avoid the pitchforks. Imho Yeezus is the last thing he did worth anyone’s time.

He and Lana Del Rey are in a race not to finish and release their new records.

Speak to me more of this blessed paradise.

The phantom of the opera did it first

Lol I see TMZ made that same sort of observation in the article and here I was thinking I had made a good joke.

TMZ did it first.

I have to be honest I find the idea of him living in the stadium hilarious if true.

Do u have Josh muted? lol

Lol when I opened the thread his message was still not posted.

So both TMZ and Josh did it first lol

wtflollllllllll

Honestly this rocks - kanye living in a stadium and wearing the same clothes for days, haven't listened to any of donda, don't know if I will
