At the White House

The photo op he IS there for though is extremely necessary law for musicians

Music Modernization Act

All the other Shit is whatever

ignorant, uninformed, detached shit.

NONE

He doesnt pay your bills or work for you G...

Shit is tragic but just ignore that shit..

You can keep abreast of the goings on w/o becoming invested in the circus

No shit he doesn't "work" for me. Do you "work" for him?

It would take someone that is

A) in a very privileged place

AND

B) lacking empathy to tell people to not get upset over someone with an audience/influence cosigning, and tap-dancing for, Nazis.


I honestly didn't think that described you, but apparently it does.


Part of the reason we are on this mess, is that people are apathetic and/or downplaying shit.


Specific to Ye, seems like he is surrounded by yes-men and cowards.

As far as ignoring him, I wish everyone would. That's the problem. The Nazis aren't. His stans aren't. He is now the mascot for the supremacist Christian right.

Again so if you are in his network, or know people who know people, I would really encourage you to snap out of it, grow a spine, and try to talk some sense into him.

You nailed it. Especially re: we're in this mess cause folks are dismissive/ignorant to just how bad it is, and/or disturbingly apathetic about it all because it doesn't directly affect them.

The shit is bad, but will only get worse if folks don't mobilize and aggressively combat all this bullshit/The Bad Team head on. Just this morning, I signed up to do some canvassing/make some calls/hit the field over the course of the next few weeks in local communities where numbers are heading in the wrong direction for Repugnantcan candidates in my typically dark blue state. I live in MA so canvassing/hitting the phones for candidates is more or less a waste of time in most elections as you can generally count on everything remaining blue, but I am taking *zero* chances this year because if we don't knock the midterms out of the park, we may be done for good. Every seat matters.

your career has always been whatever

this mess, however, is not.

trump gave him the atta boy pat on the arm.

perfect way to cap off things.

and of course every cable news show is doing deep dive analysis and treating this like it was a serious policy forum smh.

black self-victimization, welfare captivity, what about black on black crime, etc.

>black self-victimization, welfare captivity, what about black
>on black crime, etc.

People talking about not listening to his new shit, I can't even stomach his old shit.

How you gonna bump "Crack Music" and not picture him tap-dancing in a MAGA hat, talking foolish?

Was a little hard to listen to knowing that now he'd rap about apologizing to his manager and volunteering to work for free while he snitches on the other Gap employees for smoking blunts in the mall.

At best, dude is a punchline now. That is his best case scenario- that he just becomes a joke.

“I love Hillary. I love everyone, but the campaign ‘I’m with her’ just didn’t make me feel — as a guy … it was something about this hat that made me feel like Superman,” famed musician Kanye West said of his MAGA hat while discussing masculinity, the economy and his brand.

From MBDTF to "your fascism hat makes me feel like a big man," this dude's not coming back.

This level is idiot is amazing.

Fun!

https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/kanye-west-performance-art/

sometimes I look at his bullshit and I think "he is trying to subvert...something."

and, most of the times I look at his bull shit and I think "he is trying to subvert...something, but hes not well or smart enough to do what he thinks hes doing"

He might as well go that route to further the descent into complete madness and to alienate his black fanbase.

serious question. i wonder what it takes for consumers to abandon him.

Soooo never

white liberal millennials at that. they seem to be getting turned off by all this too (like the snl cast).

And Ye is more propped up by “bro” culture than anything
White liberals are still on their Lumineers and craft beer phase

EXACTLY!

>White liberals are still on their Lumineers and craft beer
>phase

Between the MAGA stuff, how bad of an album Ye was, the fact that he couldn't even get any of the GOOD Music summer albums out on time (aside from Daytona) and whatever the hell he was trying to do on SNL, there's no reason to keep checking for him. And his new fans don't actually like his music.

we were about two inches to crossing over into

"WELL, that shit was a weird time wasnt it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly."

territory.

I gave up on him and all his side projects around the time of his misguided slavery rant on TMZ some months ago. It isn't that hard to do since I haven't liked this dude's works since Yeezus. Similar to me not watching football, abstaining from Kanye is somewhat easy because I've been losing interest in him based on his efforts.

I figured if this dude is so deeply woven into the Trump madness and he's an artist, why not go the full mile and spit some pro-Trump support in his raps? He is an artist after all, right?

thats how Chance wound up semi-goin to bat for him after the 1st maga-rant

so far they seem to be stuck still tryna clean up &defend whatever the nonsense of the day is

he wld need to drop 3 trash albums wit all #maga talking point verses b4 that generation walks away

and those who went to Wyoming

too many pills and "accidentally" offs himself.

What world is this?

like shits you saw zip-tied by the pair in caldor bargain bins.

but most of the time I want to say to ppl who rock that stuff "you just gonna stand there like you not wearing those kicks?"

Let them have em.

We good to just call him a terrible, stupid person again now ?

If he wanted it.

This isn't just mental health- he is a terrible person, bi-polar or not.

For all we know this doctor that he saw that told him he's too brilliant to be bipolar he just needs sleep could've been a lesser Kardashian sibling wearing a wig.

Going to be interesting to see how those clowns walk all the shit they said about him back.

I’m stunned at what’s happened to him.

A caricature of intellect and black leadership.

Contents of his message aside, how can anyone support the freak show we just witnessed.

Does he have aunties? Somebody's potlikker he can sip on? He is fully detached.

That was...literally insane. I don't think someone could write a better skit.

"That was impressive"

No wonder they get a long- they are both entitled, detached, arrogant, rambling, incoherent morons.


If you are still a Kanye fan after this, I honestly don't even know what to say.

It's not just that he is wrong/uninformed, but he literally thinks he's a genius when he clearly doesn't understand basic things.

Dude can't even speak.

Anyone wanna tell him the secret as to why that is?

And when we do have prison reformation, because it’s habilitation, no rehabilitation because we didn’t have habilities {sic} in the first place.

meanwhile, got Brian Kemp holding thousands of voters hostage on registering and running for gub'ner at the same time.

His bitch ass was there too

Like you can't turn to black folks for any guidance but you need Trump?

i mean for the people who did not like the guy

gotdamn.

I really think some white folks lost years off their life when Obama won

what a waste.

2) Kanye only cares about attention at this point

3) I dont know why it's so hard for people to tune him out completely

somebody (white) was comparing kanye west to w.e.b. dubois earlier on msnbc. michael steele was like yeah uhm no lol.

>somebody (white) was comparing kanye west to w.e.b. dubois

'The fuck yall expect from him after that?

I am terribly disappointed in Kanye after the KKK got to him. He ain't been the same since Kardashian Klan got their hands on him.

I know he probably had BS insurance if anything at all at that point, but my homeboy got jumped on some beef shit and got a baseball bat to the face. Jaw broken in two spots and face looked like Martin Payne after he fought Tommy the hitman Hearns and still got a normal looking face/jaw. What kind of fucked doctors was Kanye dealing with man.

Too many dope producers to stay shut up at this point.

I don’t know if he’s said anything this time, but he’s said plenty not too long ago.

I gotta say, earlier today I was wondering how Common views Kanye these days.

Common, as far as I know, has been silent.

But what Kweli has said is largely underwhelming, especially considering how militant he is about Nazis/white supremacy/etc. From what I've seen it's been a whole lot of "I love my brother Kanye, he's just lost ..."

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/t-calls-kanye-sambo-over-215001488.html

despite what others in this thread said.

https://twitter.com/TalibKweli/status/1050742335225528320

regarding Kanye on his social media accounts.

It'll be interesting to see how they interact if/when Kanye goes to The Tonight Show when his next album drops.

I’m waiting for W. To tweet that “Kanye doesnt’t care about black people”

>I’m waiting for W. To tweet that “Kanye doesnt’t care

Works on multiple levels

I'm dyin' laughin'!!

like even when the album came out
people i kno who not black were talkin to me about the album like nothin happened
and with this shit it's still kinda like it's not registering to them how we feel
i'm sure its some white/asian/latino/etc ppl out there who get it and i'm not talking about them
i'm just saying in my experience it's like this reaction to him is ours alone

-----
No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. (c) HL Mencken or some other motherfucker.

i dont personally care about kanyes personal views or opinions. i have avoided watching or reading his interviews and speeches. ive obviously caught some headlines.

i understand why people are upset but i also understand that i am probably not fully aware of how stupid his comments have been. also, i might not be fully contemplating how much of an impact his stupid acts have the potential to affect people.

i feel like he needs to get help and stay out of the public view.

i cant say i am done with his music but i am thinking i might need to go ahead and actually read/watch what he said and that might change it for me.

All rolled into one.

He feels invincible, to him all of these thoughts are good ideas. Good ideas being confirmed by the platform he has been given to present them.

He could be addicted to this feeling. Its not real. We've seen glimpses of clarity from him in the past but he appears to be off the boat at the moment. Few weeks of this before he crashes?

He is mentally ill, gassed up, and being put out on display for agenda and spectacle.

It's sad.

And his family/handlers are letting this go on. He needs to be treated asap. He could end up harming himself.

I mean, say what you want about this guy but:
https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/04/kanye-west-scooter-braun-fired

He HAS had a lot of experience in dealing with clients who act out. And Ye fired him.

to diagnose this dude unless you are up close to observe him one-on-one?

To be clear, I'm not a fan of this dude nor do I agree with him at all.

obviously i can only comment on what we see, but it appears to be pretty textbook.

a doctor to see symptoms

to know someones depressed, psychotic etc..it isnt rocket science

I'm hearing the same type of arguments from the people who want to give Rosanne the benefit of the doubt. And she probably is sick in the head, and she's probably still an asshole.

Plenty of connections too.

Fuck him, and fuck anyone around him that lacks the spine to step in somehow.

that dude long gone.

so he's not all gone

him and ray are making a grip off the trump presidency. its no coincidence kanye linked up with jim browns foundation (amer-i-can) out of nowhere and started talking 'prison reform', 'community development', etc.

i wanna know who the middleman is coordinating all of this.

Kanye has been an ass kisser his whole life. If you have something he wants that would get him to that next level then he stays kissing ass.
It started in Chicago with this dude named Larry (can't think of his last name). Around the same time it was Dion (N.O. ID). Right before he blew up he was sweatin' Jay Z left and right. Then was ass kissing the fashion industry. Now it is Trump.
This fool may actually be serious about running for president in either 2020 or 2024. He is getting his political clout up. Him and Kim. Imagine in the future seeing a Kid Rock/Kanye ticket. **shudders**
