2, he has a very juvenile affect that is just straight up not likable. he could be as right as he want to, but it will never matter because ironically he can't deliver his thoughts in a way that is palatable or compelling. if he weren't such an egomaniac he could benefit from some speech and debate type coaching so he could get his logics, arguments and delivery together, it could make a big difference for him
Unlike i.e. Pharrell who's always very eloquent and well articulated, Ye just blabbers and is O.D. and doesn't really sound «smart» enough to have that effect.
What he is tho, is genuine. And thats a redeeming quality to a certain extent, but its not enough and he really comes off a little..... Short. At times. Even though he definitely isn't

You'll notice a couple of times here where he kept speaking, but he hadn't actually had another thought yet. This is why he rambles and says so much cringe-worthy shit.
36. "it's a hugely rare and specific condition" In response to Reply # 33
to me it's pretty clear he's enamored with it conceptually and is using it as a descriptive device to proclaim how uniquely "visionary" his art is, but were he to actually experience synesthesia, I'm confident it would have long been a documented part of his story by now

I agree with you on your general point, but here Kanye is manipulating his voice for the whitiest of white audiences (daytime television). Not the same thing. He is extra nasally. When Kanye speaks, you can hear his fuckin jaw in his voice almost like he from the South. Not this nasally shit. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this, cuz this was the first thing that irked me from this video.

when I was in middle school. The look on peoples faces when I stated being educated and speaking well aren't traits specific to white folks -- dead silence. That was a real turning point in my life,

I mean damn his family is on a fucking reality show but you wont answer questions about them but you still allow interviewers to ask that question? That makes a whole lot of sense.

I remember watching his earlier performances like "the food" on chapelle or Selfish with slum village or even his BETawards "jesus walks performance" and his enthusiasm and emotion was always borderline crazy...ppl are acting like his antics are new
hes never really been able to articulate his thoughts like remember his interview on the Breakfast club a few yrs ago
ye gon be ye

...and is just a nerd. The stuff he says that goes over my head is usually stuff I have no knowledge about. If there's an issue with him I'd say it's that he assumes folks are as smart or knowledgeable as he is lol. That's cool in my books.
To me Kanye has problems expressing himself. And as someone said in this post his inability to articulate himself takes away from his message. No matter how good of a point it is.
I just happened to be around a computer a lot this week and watched his interview clips several times till I was like...."oh. I think i get it now". In general i don't have time for that.
And I also think quest and Kanye embody two different mind sets. I could be wrong here but quest is that cat who works and works and practices and practices and finds joy in his work by eventually mastering it. Kanye is that dude who thinks he's entitled to be whatever he wants to be simply because his intentions are good. Life doesn't work that way. He put in work and mastered his lane in music and now wants to "save the world". He's got a lot more dues to pay if he wants to put the ideas he has into place. People (the gate keepers and people he wants money from) arent going to trust him simply because he's a top tier Rapper/producer and is 'passionate'

54. "RE: Who caught Kanye on Ellen? (video)" In response to Reply # 0
Looking from the outside I see impulse control, narcissism and grandiose ideation. I get that people don't want to diminish him by saying he is mentally ill but that doesn't change that kanye cannot hold eye contact with the person talking too him, can only speak in tenuously connected tangents, is so overwhelmed by his inability to communicate his ideas clearly and concisely that it leads to emotional outburst regularly, nor do many of his "world saving ideas" have very much substance. That doesn't mean Kanye doesn't have a lot to give to the world. Plenty of mentally ill people have made amazing contributions that changed humanity. Having mental illness doesn't make him less amazing at the things he is amazing at and ignoring or spinning his mental illness as everything but doesn't make us more compassionate or supportive fans.

They don't have their facts straight or a concrete plan, but...

As this dude runs around rambling, talking about Kim K opened the door for Black men dating white women as if that's either true or some kind of grand accomplishment.

Crazy, weird, unpredictable but he has a great point.
He makes us so uncomfortable and he is right. Michelle Obama did start a fashion incubator for students because she realizes the potential in fashion. Why shouldn't black people have a stake in creating style that influences culture?

I remember years ago Jay Z was on MTV, TRL I think the show was. Anyway, the VJ said something in reference to Kanye jokingly and Jay laughed and said "Naw don't do that he's crazy" the VJ was like I think it would be cool. Jay took a serious tone and once again said "Naw really, don't do that. That guy is crazy. He will be out in front of the MTV offices picketing" This had to be around '03-'04.
