grifters gonna grift:
Fans are still waiting for the official release of Kanyeās long-awaited album. But without the album, Kanye has already earned millions as expectations continue to rise.So far, Kanye has already hosted two listening events for the album in Atlanta, and tonight is hosting a third listening event in his hometown of Chicago. According to Billboard last month, about 42,000 fans filled Atlantaās Mercedes-Benz Stadium for their first listening event and paid $ 25 to $ 100 for tickets. Two weeks later, another event took place, with sources close to Ye revealing about $ 7 million in face-to-face merchandise sales.

I mean, where have we seen all this before? Touring around to gather the rabid fanbase in the middle of a pandemic to feed his ego, bringing out "shocking" guests to align himself with who he perceives as "victims" instead of the perpetrators they are. Rabid fans that will absolutely excuse every single misstep and unforgiveable fuckup and twist their logic into pretzels about why it's actually "goo:. This dude is exhausting and I wish the Manson thing would put off sites like Pitchfork from furiously reporting on his every move.

Yeah, it's absolutely fucking gross.
Kanye **might** be potentially getting ahead of a movement of art made as implicit protest to liberal moral panics ā like a parallel to the ca. 1984-1991 rap and heavy metal made as implicit protest to conservative moral panics. Time will tell if that's actually going to be a thing (let's all hope not), but if it comes to pass, this will be a pretty prescient moment

Comment from the hiphopheads subreddit, completely agree:
I think Marilyn Manson is the final drop even for hardcore fans as me. Trump before, slavery, crying for abortion, i took it as some mental crazy weirdness and I was sorry for him. But with Manson as publicity act, its weird as fuck.I loved Kanye cause he was real, or at least i though he was. But this is not realness, making publicity act on listening party for album for your deceased mother with accused rapist.I mean, event inviting DaBaby is the least gangsta thing to do, its least real thing to do, its just publicity act and I hate it. The show could be fantastic without them, it destroyed completely my mood for the album. And i think I am done with Kanye.

jesus already did that why do we need kanye to do it again for us
the scumbags in the music industry (& beyond) aligning as some sort of bloc - at least in a more public & explicitly ideological way than they already have - is something i've dreaded for a while. so i hope it's just the jesus thing. but it could be both. the choice of sinners is telling either way

Itās all so disappointing, yet entirely fucking predictable, that all he has to do is come out and competently play some old songs and people immediately erase the Trump supporting, the slavery excusing and the giving Marilyn Manson a platform. I mean, for fuckās sake, he was just giving Manson airtime a couple months ago. Can we maybe not with the redemption arc before he even shows one fucking ounce of understanding about the harm heās done by platforming a scumbag and caping for actual fascists?

People just really fucking love a comeback story when it involves a major celebrity. I mean look at how Tiger Woods' profile somehow increased as his life and golf game started to crumble. Or Dave Chappelle becoming more and more popular even as he morphs into the most insufferable dude on the planet. Once you reach a certain level it's fucking hard for people to turn their backs. Look how much shit had to come out before people started abandoning R. Kelly! Donda is garbage but it sure as hell is better than his last two, so whatever, redemption arc completed.
