Why aren't other MCs and/or artists roasting this dude for his antics? I've heard that his friends have tried to talk to him but obviously it didn't stick.

Like even Talib said something to the effect of being dissed by him is an honor on drink champs.

It's very much like Trump where people want to diss but see the person as too powerful to diss and deal with the wraith. They just have to acknowledge the power he has.

John Legend tried it and it didn't work out great for him.

>slavery was a choice-ass negro....

He really was a grand artist who accomplished and released a lot of good stuff. He rescued Common, helped validate Twista, made a mountain of good beats, and put out a rock solid set of albums before he started going off the rails with half-complete, borderline incoherent tomfoolery.

I'll forever think that he never 'recovered' from how things went just after the Taylor Swift situation. He got thrown away and was assumed to be screwed forever. That was his 'I'm not black, I'm OJ..........okayyyyy' moment. He found out quick af that he was for sure black and it for sure changed how his actions get covered, his fame was very fleeting, the music wasn't enough to rescue him from ridicule if he did some wild shit, no one gaf that his mama was dead even though he was Captain Mama's Boy, and even though any reasonable person knows damn well Beyonce should've won that award, that was NEVER gonna be a fair point to bring up after he hit the stage on Taylor. And Beyonce and Jay don't play their games that way so they weren't gonna say 'yeah, we know Single Ladies was the shit and nothing was fucking with it at all'. Hell, did The Dream even say anything? I don't remember if he did or not.

Now? I don't really like to fuck with any of this type of foolishness. It sucks that he's probably another one who will have to die before people look back AT HIS MAIN BODY OF MUSIC and say 'yeah, this stuff was pretty good, it meant a lot to the culture, and we're better for having it'. But he's made a habit of playing silly games after it was clear that his music alone wasn't enough for average people to give him the attention he apparently craves anymore so here we are. White Lives Matter on a shirt so he can get clicks, attention, and words written about it? 2022 fuck shit to the max.

These artists really are broken by the industry.

There are times I appreciate written essays, and I read them all the time, but there are some good YouTube content creators that you can watch when you want to passively take in information vs. read actively.

What adds to the video essay are the visual citations though. It's cool having the reference for the content shown at the same time he's recapping it.

He has a real elementary understanding of music, music artists and the machinations of the industry in general.

Like not one take he has had about artists are as in-depth and well researched as his "manosphere" content.

I think as a listener and fan he comes across as well-informed as you can expect, but I've only seen his Lauryn video.

Assuming you mean that artists have access to information outside of interviews and footage to base their opinions on?

As valuable as that is, it seems like a lot of the 'insider secrets' we have about the industry from artists is kind of in the vein of 'A&Rs force artists to perform satanic rituals, just look at symbology in this video' Kyrie-gressive type vague claims. It's not too relatable for people that don't work in the industry.

Maybe there will be a Drink Champs where Wyclef comes clean on the whole situation lol

Nowhere does the indicate that she needs him to tell her the purpose. She simply said she wants to cotinue the conversation, and urges him to do so as well.
Sure, that's naive and gullible, considering it's Kanye. She chose the wrong side, etc. But that's no reason to just make up shit. Telling the truth about this situation should give you the desired effect.

Right. And its too bad that 'Don't be desensitized to cops killing civilians in situations where it wasn't warranted' doesn't flow as well.

There's so much bad faith propaganda out in the world that even when people start off 'trying to do the right thing', it can get picked up and carried to a place where the original intention is all but lost. And so many people seem to be impressively gullible at this point if not outright dumb. Or okay...at least a bunch of people appear to be easy to lead astray. Its scary really. Far too many people seem to have no base/compass/thermometer. Am I wrong on this?

Nobody can tell me that when you have a choice between Trump and Biden that Trump is the better choice given their track records.

Considering that these candidates are almost neck and neck with their opponents is the most telling part about intelligence in this country.

I'm scurred that it is worse than this depending on how we 'define intelligence' in general.

I'm thinking that people are soooooo married to the IDEA of their 'belief systems' that they will roll with anything and anyone who appears to be aligned with those 'belief systems'. To me, that's scarier than 'people are stupid'.

This lines up with how I see Murrican politics. So, for real, if you show up and SAY 'I love ma kuntree! Abortions? Ick! Pro athletes suck cuz they make so much munny and they don't work hard like YOU! Oh, and yeah..I luh that Jesus too!', there's people who will mess up their whole life to follow you to the ends of the earth. DT has proven this in scary detail. Going back, listening to people talk about Billie Clint blows (pun intended) my mind.

But now, even moderately 'intelligent' people are doing the 'take a side' thing all the way to the max. I still find it very ridiculous and not a great way to live your life. AKA, to me, it would be a rough life to have 2 buckets in each corner of my mind where 1 bucket says 'greatest thing ever..can do no wrong that I can't explain away' and the other with 'Terrible. Overrated. How does anyone ever roll with this!?'.

In response to Reply # 50


  

          

Black Lives Matter is a statement that should not be offensive but racist find it deeply offensive for racist reasons.

White Lives Matter is a racist statement because it was put forth first in reaction to the BLM and is a slogan adopted by the KKK and the Aryan Renaissance Society.

Kanye and Racists thrive on trying to de-contextualize these statements, act like there is no history behind them, and make them the same and that's bullshit.

Someone made a great analogy online when the said responding to BLM with “white lives matter too!” Is like going to a breast cancer awareness event and yelling “testicular cancer matters too!”


If you want to complain about how fucked up society is, you should recognize your contribution to it in this very moment.

nobody said stop all hate. or stop blue hate. or stop white hate.

which lets you know the true aim of all/blue/white lives matter as a response to black lives matter.

I mean, to those who GET IT, its perfect…

but these fools screaming “white lives matter too” don’t give one fuck about that analogy.

Kanye has made a calculated decision. A lot more white people buying his shit so he is kissing the Bro ring.

Shit is sad to see

80. "all context matters"
In response to Reply # 50


  

          

all lives matter isn't offensive on the surface either, but it's usage is a reactive/dismissive stfu to black lives matter. if people can pretend blm means 'black lives matter more', or 'only black lives matter' then they get to pretend to the offended party, and to be the more reasonable inclusive person by replacing black with 'all',

but these people aren't watching a st judes cancer kids commercials, or ukranian refugee news clips and saying 'omg that's terrible. all lives matter', they only ever use it as a way of saying fuck blm

white lives matter is just a more extreme pointed version of that.

I dont know why people keep making excuses for his bullshit. Its not an act. He is this person. Hes a Trump loving Fox News loving black conservative.

than the general public's is. They seemingly were friends with Kanye before he went down this terrible road and he's a fairly famous and somewhat influential/powerful person in the music business. I'm sure they have to be calculated in how they publicly talk about the man.

To be clear, I've literally been done with Kanye since the slavery was a choice nonsense. The only Kanye song I begrudgingly played since then was Two Words and that's only because I wanted to hear Mos Def's verse.

if when it gets hard or complicated, you kind of pass the buck?

Kanye was their friend and he didn't have a problem sh*tting all over them in a major way right?

I mean I think it would have even been better if they just said what you said, "that's my man who is going through a thing and I support him as a human/friend but can't get with the politics".

That's less of a dodge then what I heard.

Not coming at you personally. You are absolutely right in explaining their hesitancy.

And IMO even *that* isn't nearly enough, but I just wanted to clarify that at least Kweli has said what you said above, almost verbatim, in several other interviews, including on his own podcast.

It's completely cool if we disagree on our interpretation of the matter. It's not the end of the world.

Perhaps this is too jaded an outlook on my part, but I don't hold rappers to having to live their raps/bars in real life anymore. That goes for hardcore or conscious folks. As long as I like the music in the moment, that's all I take from artists at this point.

The whole drama with Kweli going so hard he had to get banned from twitter and seeing Freddie Gibbs get humbled in Buffalo months ago made me come to that realization; art is just art and the persona a majority of rappers portray isn't 100% real. It's not the end of the word if that's the case, at least in my eyes.

Kanye West Locked Out of Twitter Following Anti-Semitic Tweet
Yesterday, the rapper’s Instagram account was restricted for policy violations

By Madison Bloom and Rob Arcand

Kanye West has been locked out of his Twitter account after posting an anti-Semitic tweet, BuzzFeed News reports and Pitchfork can confirm. The full tweet, as reported by BuzzFeed News and The Hollywood Reporter, read:

I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.

The social media platform removed the tweet shortly after West published it for violating its rules and guidelines. There is currently a notice from Twitter in the tweet’s place that reads: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules.” Although West’s Twitter account is currently still live, a Twitter spokesperson told Pitchfork that “the account was locked for violating Twitter’s policies.” Pitchfork has reached out to Kanye West’s representatives for further information and comment.

The Anti-Defamation League has also spoken out against West's tweet, Deadline reports. The organization took to social media to publish a brief statement addressing the tweet, which it calls “dangerous.” “Power. Disloyalty. Greed. Deicide. Blood. Denial. Anti-Zionism," the statement reads. “All of these are antisemitic tropes that we break down in our #AntisemitismUncovered Guide at https://antisemitism.adl.org. Many of these myths have influenced @KanyeWest's comments recently, and it's dangerous.” Pitchfork has reached out to the Anti-Defamation League for comment and more information.

Twitter’s action comes just one day after Meta restricted West’s Instagram account. The parent company to Instagram and Facebook is currently blocking West from posting new content, commenting, and sending messages, per its policy violation guidelines. Meta did not specify which content was removed from West’s account, however.

West had previously posted screenshots of alleged texts with Sean “Puffy” Combs aka Diddy on Instagram. In one post viewed by Pitchfork, captioned with “Jesus is Jew,” the rapper says, “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.” The post is no longer on West’s account. West later addressed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Twitter, saying “how you gone kick me off instagram.” The post included an older photo of West, Zuckerberg, and others.

In March, West’s Instagram account was suspended for 24 hours after posting a slur targeting The Daily Show host Trevor Noah

102. "sarah silverman and kanyes trainer say there isnt as much outrage"
In response to Reply # 0


          

for his comments against jews as there was about the white lives matter shirts.

thats completely subjective (i dont see a big difference).

but what is not subjective...kanye was suspended on social media specifically for his comments about jews and not for the wlm shirts.

*if* there is some difference in the magnitude of outrage...a lot of it could be explained by the fact that in one instance...everybody knows there will be a concrete penalty and he will be held accountable in a tangible way. and in the other instance...basically all people have is their outrage.

that shit prolly turned her on

I bet most jewish folks kanye shrugged at that tweet. Its the white and Black folks who work with them who do all the outraging for them.

and yes, I’m one of those Black folk who laugh at Black folk who act outraged when they see something negative about Jews.

Like it embarasses me to watch. Ever been around someone so uncomfortable that it makes you uncomfortable and you just want to leave their presence? Like all around bad energy.

Look at brother so comfortable in his skin. Happy to be who he is and his place in his world. Dude is exuding a peace that is contagious and inspiring. This is what good energy looks like.

In response to Reply # 114


          

and until we stop giving him attention for this shit he will continue to say and do crazy shit to get attention.

No one really gives a shit about his lil fashion show but a wlm tshirt got him some attention

What cracks me up is Fox News and conservatives like “see, he is actually a gen.. err, hold on, hold on… that Jew shit is too much”

People out here trying to jump on the Ye wave without realizing he doesn’t care about anything but promoting himself.

There's definitely significant mental health shit at work, but I don't think that he's unhinged.

I think there's more of a Dunning-Kruger thing going on. HE thinks he's some kind of generational genius cracking the code, because he's too dumb to know he's dumb.

I bet it could get easy to lose your got damn mind and think anything you do will work.

and maybe he is finally taking enough L’s that it is making him lose control.

but I think as long as cameras show up he feels empowered.

Type of dumb that actually HAS all the information at their disposal...and has even consumed a bunch of it....but lacks the intelligence to process it in a meaningful and intelligent way....

Kinda like if you sat someone down with all the ingredients to make a 7 course meal.... AND gave them the recipes to prepare the meal....but they decide to discard the recipes and freestyle the meal....

to the point they have to attack her publicly, assuming folks are actually offended at the sight of her and aren't just attacking her to get clout and/or attention.

In response to Reply # 122


          

I remember the ass cheeks at the basketball game.. that was ridiculous.

but overall I think seeing big folks win bothers people.

and its why Jennifer Hudson and Adele make me mad. They made it WITH size and while its their body and they can do what they want with it, I feel like they bought into the “you have to be skinny to stay around” which is wild.

Most people are overweight. We liked their talent and their size didn’t bother us. We bought all the tickets and albums.

But I’m sure my opinion could be viewed as hell wrong and telling women what to do..

it was causing health problems, as opposed to just the superficial reasons? seems pretty short sighted that someone has to stay overweight just because they came into prominence overweight lol

you be disappointed in 2 artists that decided to lose weight if it was for a legitimate reason, as opposed to the pressures of fame/media/etc ?

It's pretty well-documented that Adele's weight loss had more to do with developing an exercise routine to help with her chronic back pain and anxiety:

https://www.shape.com/celebrities/celebrity-workouts/adele-insight-fitness-philosophy

I've been diagnosed with clinical depression, and regular exercise is one of the things that helps me cope. I took up running during COVID lockdowns because I didn't have many other outlets, and it became a 2x a week habit that resulted in nearly 40 lbs of weight loss. That was never my intention, but I'm definitely happy that I feel physically fit going into my 40s. I literally was in bed after work yesterday with a depressive episode, and anxiety, creeping in hard. I forced myself to go for a run and immediately was able to process my thoughts in a way that brought me back to a healthy baseline.

There are more reasons for fitness plans (and subsequent weight loss) than just giving in to societal pressure.

and my theory is definitely based on fame and the promotion of rail thin as normal.

but I wouldn’t expect Adele to say she made this transformation for superficial reasons.

and real talk, it wasn’t like we saw a gradual change.. she just showed up 2 years later looking like a total stranger.

I know break ups can motivate a person but I hope she doesn’t lose herself at this new size. Her music also seems to have lost some weight as well.. shrugs

Congrats on the weight loss

In response to Reply # 137


  

          

That will be the big tell.

Again. Kanye doesn't have any real income generating assets (aside from his music library). His biggest money generator, his Addidas deal, gives him a royalty and he doesn't own anything to do with it. So if they drop him, that's a lot of money drying up really quickly.

It amazes me how people would rather conjecture instead of researching to
get factual info. You just said he doesn’t have any other real income generating
assets outside of his music catalog….SMH

He has a 72% stake in Kim’s cosmetic business which is
worth over 500 million dollars…( he helped her create it).

He also has KWLLC which owns the Fatburger food chains in Chicago…..

Plus he has a stake in Tidal…..and lots of REAL ESTATE assets ( worth over 125 million).

And his music assets from songwriting, music production, ownership, etc is
worth over 100 million

Even if he tried to go broke, he will not go broke in his lifetime….so
your “money dry up” claim is absurdly inaccurate.

The deepest Dive into his finance was done by Forbes who Kanye shared his finances with:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2020/04/24/kanye-west-is-now-officially-a-billionaireand-he-really-wants-the-world-to-know/?sh=20079b977b9e

Specifically in that article it state he has "$125 million in assets outside of his Yeezy crown jewel. "


With like 3 seconds of googling, I see where you got the 72% number from. It's here maybe?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/maddieberg/2021/02/19/inside-the-assets-of-the-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-divorce/?sh=631b970b29a3


That has two relevant lines:

"The pair had signed a prenuptial agreement, which will make the splitting up of their $2.1 billion combined assets much easier. Both independently own and operate their own businesses—West’s Yeezy and Kardashian’s KKW Beauty—and will likely retain ownership, as well as any income from those endeavors. "

and with regards to the 72% number:

"Similar to West, the bulk of Kardashian’s fortune sits in a brand with her name on it. Forbes estimated in October that West’s 72% stake in HER cosmetics company KKW Beauty is worth about $500 million."


Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...................

The Fatburger thing sounded interesting but that seemed to not have panned out.

But that's never go broke money.

where he generates millions outside of his music, adidas and gap

Real estate
His stake in his wife’s company which he helped build…no matter
what the percentage is his getting millions from it.


You sound extremely uninformed about his assets and how much money he has.

You made the statement that he doesn’t have any REAL income generating assets
outside of his music catalog and that his money will dry up quick……think about how
illogical that statement is

Which is absurdly inaccurate. You sound foolish anyway trying to account the
billions of a billionaire….someone you don’t know and money you will never earn in
your lifetime.

He will not go broke in his lifetime or his kid’s lifetime and he has more money than you
and me.

I showed you an article from Forbes, who were allowed examine his books, which states that he has a pre-nup and he doesn't have an interest in SKIMS, and you still going to say he has a stake in his wife's company?


Just drill down on this one fact. How does he have a stake in her company despite what I shared with you?

“He has a piece of Skims himself and gives inspiration but also information. I think he enjoys the process.”

“Kim K. recently spoke to the Wall Street Journal and said that Kanye remains a huge inspiration to her. She said that despite their troubled past, the two remain business partners. Kanye remains a partner in Skims, Kim’s company that produces underwear and loungewear.”

This is post divorce.

It’s right there in the damn article.

I thought Kim was vague and dodge the issue in the article you shared and it directly contradicts the Forbes article which actually looked at his finances, but it does appear he has a 5% interest in SKIMs.

143. "Kanye West Accused of Saying He ‘Loves’ Hitler, Nazis at TMZ 2018 in..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

TMZ edited the 2018 interview just like Tucker Carlson.

https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.74102/title.kanye-west-hitler-nazis-anti-semitism-tmz-van-lathan


https://www.thedailybeast.com/kanye-west-accused-of-saying-he-loves-hitler-nazis-at-tmz

Higher Learning podcaster and former TMZ staffer Van Lathan called out rap mogul Kanye West for some old comments he allegedly made during an interview in 2018, saying he wasn’t surprised by the artist’s recent antisemitic outburst. In a since-deleted portion of Ye’s notorious TMZ rant, Van Lathan claims that Ye professed his love for Hitler and the Nazis, and referred to slavery as a “choice.” “I’ve already heard him say that stuff before,” Van Lathan said during an episode of his podcast, referring to West’s recent comments that got him banned from Twitter and Instagram.

“I mean, I was taken aback because that type of anti-Semitic talk is disgusting. But as far as him, I knew that that was in him because when came to TMZ, he said that stuff and they took it out of the interview.” “If you look at what I said at TMZ, it goes from me saying like, ‘Hey Kanye, there’s real-life, real-world implication to everything that you just said there.’ What I say after that—if I can remember, it’s been a long time—was, ’12 million people actually died because of Nazism and Hitler and all of that stuff,’ and then I move on to talk about what he said about slavery,” Van Lathan continued.

“The reason they took it out is because it wouldn’t have made sense unless they kept in Kanye saying he loved Hitler and the Nazis, which he said when he was at TMZ. He said something like, ‘I love Hitler, I love Nazis.’ Something to that effect.”

His outbursts we’re deemed comical at first, and Kanye was just being
Kanye. It was annoying, but it was also viewed as an expression that
was innocent and harmless. So he was constantly given a pass.

But now, his outbursts and comments aren’t just silly, little verbal actions. They are
hateful and harmful comments that attack certain cultures and ethnicities. That can’t
be allowed.

Are his action due to his mental condition? If that’s the case, then that does require
a certain understanding, because that would mean he can’t help himself, and his
comments shouldn’t be taken as face value.

But we know that black people aren’t afforded the mental condition excuse like
certain cultures are afforded.

He is a special, special case.

160. "I'm the wrong person to ask to defend this dude."
In response to Reply # 159


  

          

Like I've said in this thread already, I was done with him when he said 400 years of slavery sounds like a choice. I think even less of him now.

In regards to his mental health problems, he is a grown man who is aware he has mental health issues and has resources to get help if and when he wants it. I feel no sorrow or pity for him in that regard. It's possible some of his recent words and actions are the result of him being unbalanced, but to an extent, that's something he can get a degree of help with. He's a fairly well off adult; he's not a little child that doesn't have control of his faculties.

If there are folks here that deal with mentally unbalanced folks like Kanye that think my views are overly simplistic, I'm welcomed to being corrected in that regard because I'm not an expert in that field.

The main reason I posted that archived thread up is that it's pretty wild that one person could be get such opposing polar reactions from black folks. I wasn't trying to defend him, I just thought it was interesting. I 100% think he deserves some degree of the scorn he's currently getting because all of his recent controversies are due to words he willingly spewed.

In response to Reply # 160


          

that they need assistance.

The grown man rule can’t be applied in this situation. If a person is not
mentally aware of his actions, and he clearly isn’t, a person’s age has no
control of that.

Also, Kanye has always had this mental issue. However, when his mother was alive,
she was able to assist and keep him centered. The Kardashians on the other hand
exploited him, and used his brand and fashion and music celebrity to clean up Kim’s
image. They knew/know he isn’t mentally stable.

Kanye’s situation reminds me so much of Micheal Jackson where he is surrounded by
nothing by attorneys, agents and non-family members…The wacko-Jackie stuff and the
battle with Sony,etc. All of what Kanye is going through is so similar, and I fear it might
not end well.

have a history of being mentally unstable.

He has always been like this, even when he was trying to get on. There just
wasn’t a platform for people to see it.

Go look at his interviews from early 2000. It’s clear as day that something wasn’t
right about him, and how awkward his personality was.

Kanye isn’t your classic asshole or narcissist. He clearly has a chemical imbalance, which
leads to him doing narcissistic things. There is a difference.

164. "I defend Ye often as more of a narcissist than bipolar"
In response to Reply # 160


          

I’m not a doctor so my words don’t mean shit but I’ve always felt like his line “both Dame and me, we assholes!” was the realist shit ever.

Dude was extremely calculated and focused on fame. He’s said shit that made us cheer and shit that made us say nigga what? but each time his popularity and screen time increased.

He picked the most famous woman in the world for his wife.

His thirst for attention is a sickness. Of course he thinks he can’t lose because he has been winning for a long time so he feels empowered and if all your moves result in millions of dollars and fame you will feel invincible.

But I think in the end Kanye treats mics and media like a message board. Throw out wild shit and do numbers or paint by numbers and go wood.

and like Buddy said,’when he is saying something that your side agrees with he is a hero. Right now he is serving it up for the bros.

I also think Obama calling him an ass plays a huge part in his MAGA bullshit.

imbalance he doesn’t know how to go about it.


What he spoke on JP Morgan was real. I worked in the SM
for ten years, so I have seen stuff like that. He put a 140 million
investment in JP Morgan as a customer, so for them to cut him off
because of his comments makes no sense….making comments isn’t a crime
or illegal. His money is legitimate and they are bankers. I wonder if he can
litigate them for that.

Nobody said he wont be responsible for his actions. There are a ton of folks in prison due to their mental illness symptoms that got them into trouble. They are given mental services etc but are still paying the price for their crimes, are accountable.

Im saying its clear dude is currently in the throws of his mental illness and needs immediate aid. Via rx or whatever, before something serious happens, not just being on some podcast talking bullshit. And his people arent doing that probably because he's rich and "the boss"

its a good read. you should check it out.

theres actually a lot of harm being done by stigmatizing bipolar disorder as the cause of kanyes behavior.

plenty of people with bipolar disorder dont hold his views.

theres a post on page 1 right now about kanyes far right leanings from over *4* years ago. hes been completely consistent with this shit throughout that period. has he been suffering a manic episode for 4 years straight?

He's been manic on several occasions and not just the ones where he spouts right wing drivel. And some who suffer may have only 1 episode all their life. Regardless of his opinions etc its clear in the current video, he is suffering from some level of mania regardless.

I dint believe it is. If he was nediated appropriately, had APPROPRIATE MH aid, and his mind got right, he would be "TF did I say? ahhh man"

with him. Its not like these aren't widespread beliefs that he is sharing.

My theory that instead of Kanye acting crazy, he is acting like a person who thinks that he is rich enough to do and say whatever he wants without consequences. He is being the person he wants to be now.

If he gets slapped down and loses his money and humbled he may start to "behave" because he had to and then we will hear that he is back on his meds, but that's him behaving because he has to.

Because he does have bipolar.

Bipolar 1 is my guess, but what do I know

But the fact is he DOES have a mental illness

Denying this is, well... something Ye would do.

Worse, the fact that you can't see how that contributes to the what/when/how he does what he does is kind of a problem.

It IS a factor.

which airs and ultimately funds Drink Champs. Prior to this interview, Kanye clowned Sean Combs and used Combs' texts as a vehicle to spews some of his ignorant nonsense.

I don't understand what's going on. I'm assuming the almighty dollar is what's most important to everyone involved.

and totally reworded what he worded.

He said US Jews need to get their act together and he was comparing them
to the Jews in Israel. He said the Jews in Israel are doing a great job, but the ones
in the US aren’t.

That was his statement.

That’s not antisemitism.

this isnt the first time hes said that. its a consistent theme of his. he says this shit all the time.

dude is confused as to why 70+% vote dem and against him and his party.

as if american jews are supposed to be blindly loyal to the israeli government because their families are from there.

itd be like a president saying american blacks need to appreciate him more because he catered to (insert african country).

its textbook bigotry.

Your headline was: Trump: Jews better get their act together.

Specificity is very important in that statement…He was referring to US Jews compared to
Jews in Israel.

So it should have been: US Jews better get their act together.

And , no, I don’t support trump. I just don’t believe in misinformation or incorrect
journalism.

…where we as black people have judged another group of black people, and
said they needed to get it together, no matter if they were drug addicts, gang members,
etc.

It’s more of an expression than it is an actual belief.

And no I’m not defending or supporting Trump….I see I have to add that as a disclaimer.

Before his manic episodes always felt like they’d be forgotten if he put out something amazing because that’s what’d happened every time before.

But this is the beginning of the end. I think hes going to become to toxic for most people to touch. And despite what he says - he can’t do it all alone. I might be wrong but I think he’s done.

Plus I really don’t think he has another classic album in him.

the dude in your avatar did do an EP with him some years ago around the time of that TMZ incident if memory serves me correct. I wonder if Nas feels differently about that project at the moment.

he said it was rushed, ye was spread too thin between multiple projects with different artists, and nas was essentially the only one coming to the table with ideas.

other than that...i doubt nas cares much about that project in regards to kanye. nas is an uber capitalist who will find a way to dismiss principles/morals in pursuit of that bag. hes already somebody who thinks dems and repubs are basically the same, prolly agrees with kanye on jews, and will conveniently find a way to make exceptions for anything else kanye does under arbitrary 'free thinker'/'freedom of speech'/'artistic edginess' conditions.

Reading in between the lines, it sounds like both artists were opportunistic in terms of wanting to work together simply to make dollars.

Unfortunately, I have the feeling a grip of rappers probably still have this sentiment despite the dark path Kanye is currently on.

Like as long as he is vaulable to other people and can help them make money, folks will continue to f with him.

Once his power and reach dry up, and he can't really help other people, then they would turn on him.

I really don't know that he has another classic in him. I don't think Donda or Jesus is King really lit the world on fire, nor do I think without the support of Adidas and Gap (which is a presumption) he can really get it going again fashion-wise. He needs the infrastructure. Maybe he can get that - maybe - but the longer he goes on all THIS shit, the less I'm convinced his clothing and shoes will sell to the degree they were selling.

Which is all a way of saying - I'm not sure how much money he's going to be making other people.

In response to Reply # 0


          

The election thing didn't pop off like they'd hoped so they went back to the drawing board and figured out just the right way to use Kanye and nailed it.

Doesn't need to run for office. Just needs to be given space and platforms to run his mouth. Mainstreaming white nationalist talking points from a dude we all know and likely used to love live and direct to the people. Everybody gets mad and before long everybody getting mad at each other.

Him and Trump collab on the anti-Jewish shit back-to-back and break the internet. Real weapons of mass distraction. Got folks more invested in this than just about anything else. Shit, you got people who actually believe the shit Kanye is saying running for elected office in multiple states (see: PA, AZ, FL) up and down the ballot including school boards where I bet a lot of your children are in school.

I was getting caught up in the bullshit too for a minute and then I saw two people I respect start fighting each other over Trump's statements today because of a misunderstanding and had to take a step back and recalibrate. Shit was like something out of Stephen King's IT.

This is just as coordinated as the attacks on Sesame Street, CRT, library books, and trans people and drag shows and by a lot of the same people. Sow discord then sit back and reap the reward. Rinse and repeat.

Ye belongs to the sheets (Klan not fitted) for now. Doesn't matter whether he's bi-polar, missing his momma, a narcissist, a bigot or some combination of all of them. He either understands he's being used and doesn't care or he doesn't understand. He'll either get it sorted out or get worse.

Either way, they'll have a new nigga next year but by then, for us, it might be too late.

parler has already failed *twice* and is as close to being dead as you can be.

that audience that bitches about censorship on social media apps have moved on to truthsocial, gettr, gab, rumble, etc.

but parler is owned by candace owens husband and they suckered him into buying it.

the right wing grifter class is about to have a field day with kanye.

No numbers mentioned. It did mentioned that he has to license certain tech and services from the original owner. Not a great look to be dependent on the original owners to run your new business. Good way for them to continue to milk money from him.

This does line up in my theory Ye will be broke in a decade.

like they transfer a certain amount of private shares to him with some promise to share (currently non-existent) profits or to go public in the future...in exchange for ye paying those admin/license fees youre talking about.

that shit sounds like the most feasibly scammy possibility (gets the positive media coverage and milks ye out of his money while providing revenue to the current owners who have none to speak of right now)...so its prolly the most likely outcome lol.

Your theory= you just making shit up out of hate.

You’re not an accountant. You’ve never and will never see a billion dollars in your life,
but you’re counting someone else’s money who you don’t even know.

And you speak on it like it’s facts.


This is the problem with our society right now ….people allowed to just make shit up based
on their belief.


You might want him to be broke…..but sorry it ain’t happening.
So maybe you should find something else to make stuff up about.

I don't think we should be calling for his neck

But I do think all the apologists need to sit the fuck down

There are way too many enablers.

Too many people who can't bring themselves to accept, out loud at least, that he's been headed off the reservation since the beginning.

I think we can call this what it is while retaining our compassion.

whatever his mental health status, if he's not seeking help, that's part of the illness. It's not an easy thing to do. And his problem is, he lacks the checks and balances most people have in their life.

He exists at a height that's barely imaginable, so if he has mental health issues, he needs people around him who aren't simply there to stroke his ego- and I doubt he keeps anyone around him who doesn't, at least to a degree that they could do anything about it.

It's at a point where it's seriously problematic. But the biggest thing people- namely his fans- can do to help, is stop apologizing for him.

257. "the one thing that makes me think that he is at least to some degree"
In response to Reply # 248


  

          

unhinged and not just trolling is that i truly believe that he wants his family back...but he continues to do the complete opposite of what might give him a snowballs chance in hell of making that happen.

kim broke it off wit ole boy and this dude is going on a full on assault on her and her fam at any given chance. if he would just chill and slow roll it he might could work his way back in but its like he cant pass up the chance to take a shot at them whenever possible...and the accusations are way out...kidnapping his kids?

but youre right about the enablers...as long as hes surrounded by yes men he isnt gonna get anywhere. and as long as he continues to take shots at jewish folk its gonna be an uphill battle lol. everybody knows jews and gays (and g floyd) are off limits.

i wish no ill will on the dude (aside from maybe a small dose of humble pie) i just wish he at a minimum would just STFU and sit down. but he is just another cautionary tale illustrating that even if on paper you appear to have it all you can still be miserable and misguided as fuck.

In response to Reply # 257


  

          

As though nobody says or does outlandish shit

Moreover, it appears that anytime you have a brilliant artist of some kind, the reflexive response always seems to indicate that people thjnk that the brilliance that makes them a great artist also translates into everything else.

So the response to every outlandish comment or action is, “he’s trolling and you’re falling for it”

IMO, more often than not, it’s *far* less often that the artist is some marketing mastermind, and much more likely that said artists’ success in the face of their outlandishness remove any need to filter themselves.

In Ye’s case, his there’s never been any real, significant blowback, unless you count the “overreaction” of, uh…… people writing critical words on the internet as “blowback”.

He ascended higher and higher and became a singular, generational figure, all while amping up his outlandishness. For someone who already believes in themselves on a mythological level, who has no real checks and balances, what’s the impetus to change a thing?

I don’t think he’s trolling, and there’s no reason to suggest any of this has ever been an act.

It’s who he is.

obviously he generates clicks and he's nothing if not entertaining

but at this point it's WAY past indefensible. He's nuts and he's doing harm. I think for a long time people overreacted to this guy but there's no denying he's genuinely toxic now.

I do think it's incumbent on media to leave him alone. But that won't happen.

No, people were just right about him all along.

What about this is "entertaining"?
Noteworthy, I get, given his stature.
But what's the entertainment value?

>but at this point it's WAY past indefensible. He's nuts and
>he's doing harm. I think for a long time people overreacted to
>this guy but there's no denying he's genuinely toxic now.

No, he's always been toxic. ALWAYS.

It's just that his gaggle of stans, sycophants, and enablers are running out of excuses, pleas, deflections, and explanations.

That's all it is.

The supposed "overreactions" have always been people just calling him the fucking spade he always was.
The way he's turned on some of his biggest and most loyal supporters bears this out.

His stans could only "BUT BUT BUT DONDA DIED WHAT IF YOUR MOM DIED" his antics for so long.

You know what else happened?

He gained more success. More fame. More influence. More power. More status. More money.



All of that fed his gargantuan, out of control ego.

He's a fucking spoiled brat that has the fuck you money, and, even now, the support, to say and do whatever the fuck he goddamn well pleases.

He thinks he's too big to fail, and he's living a twisted version of a Powerball daydream.

Nobody "overreacted" to him. They just saw him for who and what he was. The end.

(anyone): Goddamn, this guys ego is on 11. What a douchebag

(Ye fans, for fucking years): der he's just trolling lulz, u just don't understand marketing geniuses like him, derrrp it's not that deep u just don't get him

^^^^that right there is the template for damn near every exchange about the guy, since he fucking dropped.

All this situation does, is *continue* to prove that the critics have always been right, and the stans have always beentoo clouded by their fandom to recognize, accept, and acknowledge what has been clear as day since he's uttered a single word in an interview.

>I do think it's incumbent on media to leave him alone. But
>that won't happen.

Fuck that. He's getting the attention he's begging for.

Why does the media have to step in to stop covering him?
Why should the media leave him alone? Are they stalking him, or is he feeding them?
He's the one creating this attention. Not the media.

You know who needs to step in?

Fucking Kanye. Or someone who loves him, to get him the help he needs.

IMO it's only an overreaction if he doesn't ultimately become what the people who reacted negatively to him years ago thought he was already, if that makes sense.

NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT EVER

plus you don't understand marketing lulz

You're blowing it way out of proportion

He's just trolling and you're all falling for it
he's a musical genius and you're just jealous
haters gonna hate

it ain't that deep
you're just scared because he says what you're afraid to
what about brett favre

ok so you're saying you don't care about mental health?

but you know, if you REALLY think about it, he's not wrong about anything he's ever said, you're just blinded to the secret truth because all you do is consume the Woke Lamestream Media

you're probably on The payroll

>is due to his “crazy marketing genius”

I don't see where I said anything to the effect that he wasn't great at generating money

I'm just laying out the usual canned retorts Ye stans give whenever anyone dares to commit the grievous sin of, you know, acknowledging the fucking obvious with him.

>you can hate it but that shit worked for years..

Jesus christ.

Hate WHAT?

But I'll bite

That shit wasn't marketing genius

it's just who he is. And when you have a such immaculate talent, people will overlook that shit, make excuses, deflect, act as human shields, all types of shit.

Hell, you're doing it now, as though my post wasn't, quite clearly, a tongue in cheek list of all the bullshit replies all the Ye stans give in response to anyone criticizing him.

It's not even as tactical as people make it out to be.

Every artist is most visible and most public when they're about to release something. Ye being Ye and saying/doing Ye shit isn't some genius marketing tactic.

This. Is. Who. He. Is.

It's not *for* clicks and likes and sales.
It just happens to generate those things.
There is no master plan at work here.

It's just, when people get on some talented perons nutts so much that they can't live without the salty brine that drips from said nutts, they'll make any excuse to shield their nutt master from criticism.

Come on, legs.

In response to Reply # 252


  

          

Those are not two separate things

They are joined at the hip, and the way one was treated by his fans and surrounding yes men/women, etc, lead to what we have now.

We cannot seperate the two.

This was a long, gradual escalation that has been pretty clear

Around the time of Late Registration/Graduation, he was feeling himself like he was a literal messiah

I said his ego was so off the charts that ai could see him killing himself at his peak, just to write his name in that pantheon. I didn’t mean it literally, but you had an incredulous reaction to that.

Thing is, I was right. Because, again, it was just an analogy of how off the reservation he was, that I could see him reach that sort of extreme.

He’s absolutely reached that sort of extreme.
But it’s always been obvious that he would get there.

You just had those Graduation-era glasses on and couldn’t see it.
A lot of us have been saying what you’re now saying for years.
Because we weren’t blinded by our fandom.

This is what I’m saying.

The money train is drying up. The toxicity from all this stuff, along with every other toxic thing he’s done over the years, on top of the fact that - honestly - musically he’s just not what he used to be = the end is here.

But hell what do I know

This dude could drop an album tomorrow with features from Marilyn Manson, R Kelly, Chris Brown, and Trump and dumb kids will eat it up.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FekR8LOXwAIx-DQ?format=jpg&name=medium

also a week ago...kanye said it was 1 booked performance date (nov 4th) that was canceled. now hes saying its 4.

im inclined to believe kanye is stretching the truth. especially when you consider the fact he isnt rushing to finish up music and have a chaotic rollout like he usually does before a 70k+ arena appearance.

also he said jp morgan stopped doing business with him over his recent controversies. but that was debunked by a cnbc interview he did weeks ago where he said *he* ended the relationship with jp morgan because the ceo wouldnt call him (he actually posted this on his instagram account too).
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FfN-NnBWAAEKAYM?format=jpg&name=large

kanye really is just mimicking trump. idk if its intentional or its delusional. but the lie is gonna have faster/longer reach than the fact check.

either kanye is lying, kanye is delusional, or his intermediaries are lying to him (while prolly getting paid for it).

i cant find the tweet but someone had a breakdown of kanyes postings on the matter and it looked more like the date was declined due to the request being too short notice.

But I do think there's also a world where a deal wasn't like, DONE DONE - inked, etc. and that they did have an agreement for 4 shows. When this shit came out, they figured "Phew!" and now can pretend it didn't exist.

Not to say that Ye isn't lying about it. He of course could be. I'm just saying that not having something on their public-facing calendar really isn't a way to discredit that they may have had some sort of agreement. That's all.

Yeezus was really the last album that I fucked with from this guy.

Since then, Daytona from Pusha-T. Would be a classic album if it wasn't for his dumb ass verse on "What Would Meek Do". And Kids See Ghosts would be an all-timer if it was just a Cudi EP.

Any genre.

His musical contribution is staggering. I think He’s got a ways to go for any of this to cast a long enough shadow to eclipse that.

The problem I see there is, there still doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. We may well look back and think, he was just getting started.

why the fuck is he going to stop saying wild shit?

he still has “the power” to get lights, camera, action for saying whatever the fuck he wants.

BUT YOUR DEFENDING HIM!!!!

I wasn't going to give the interview the views and I have low tolerance to hear this moron's ranting, but I did want to know how bad it was.

TBH, I had been thinking the jewish thing was a few stray shots, didn't know that's his whole thing now. This sounds really bad. Maybe Ryan M is right and this will be the thing.

Though he was in waaay over his head and shouldn't never have done this, I do appreciate hearing that Nore tried to push back. He's a street dude trying to do positive things and I sincerely think the gravity of what he participated has hit him and he feels bad about it.

But fuck Kanye guy.

I told the story of my wife’s gay white male friend that she has known for like 35 years..

he called her up to let her know he had never voted before but planned to vote for Trump. She hasn’t spoken to him since..

the fact that he reached out in excitement to tell her is what really pissed her off. These folks so drawn in they lost their damn minds

Is it really all a pushback to PC and Wokeness?

I think I hit a new understanding of the pushback until I saw the Russian Propoganda video which was all about pushback to wokeness. Like that's their best argument against the US?

Does this fire people up THAT much?

and Americans love some TV and feel like we know these people just because they are on the screen.

No idea how it became a cult tho, dude says some funny shit from time to time but in regards to policy or actually governing the people.. I have no idea.

has to be some MK Ultra Marketing shit that he is using. Even when he says shit they HATE they still are quick to forgive him or act like he never said that shit.

Dude said he could shoot someone and not lose a vote and gotdamn he wasn’t lying.

287. "He says what they think"
In response to Reply # 282


  

          

I think that's what it boils down to

It's the reason why all these politicians are doing this "MY PRONOUNS ARE PATRIOT AND ASS KICKER" bit right now

Because the whole MURICA FUCK YEAH vibe is all most republicans give a fuck about

as for pulling people from outside the party, or people would traditionally be outside the party, they're usually buffoons.

And no, Ye's musical acumen doesn't mean he's also some genius outside of that, any more than Ben Carson being a neurosurgeon makes him a brilliant sociopolitical mind.

I don't think Ye is "trolling" with this MAGA bullshit. a lot of Black and Latino people relate to his over the top macho man persona, same as traditional white conservatives, but I still believe that they simply agree with the things he says.

I work in an area that is more conservative and there are 2 or 3 trucks kitted out in full Trump paraphernalia.

One had Trump spelled out in thick white tape on her truck. Another jeep had like 12 flags all over it. Just riding around an outdoor shopping mall.

and when I went to the beach during the election some 16 and 17 year old kid had a big ass truck with all types of flags on it.

When I see kids like this: https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2019/02/15/rts2bekn-af5ea0d85bbac1ba3a271a742ee725064b52e4f7-s1100-c50.jpg

its exactly what a lot of them are doing. They just love the attention they get from it.

No, they actually believe in this shit.

Good god. This isn't just some troll.

They DO believe this shit. I promise you.

It's not just loving the attention- the love rubbing it in people's faces.

How anyone can conclude that such an extreme level of zealotry and near religious devotion is *just* a troll is staggering to the point where I have a hard time believing that you believe that.

These people DO believe in this fucking guy. MAGA is NOT just a hat. These fucking people believe that shit, through and through.

Sure, we can parse out the how and why. But they believe in the rhetoric.

It's not an act, it's not *just* a game, even if they treat it like one, because the things they say and do and how they vote impacts all of us.

The SC might not have MAGA emblazoned to their robes, but they may as fucking well.

Sure, there are different layers, levels, tiers, reasons, motives, all that, which will vary from person to person.

But the one thing that's consistent, is they actually believe this shit. I see absolutely NO evidence to the contrary.

i'm not so much talking about the hat wearing super fan cult types, but more the people who are like "I don't agree with everything he says/does but i still voted for him" types.

that even though he lies as much as he breathes, they see him as more genuine than your average dem politician because he just is who he is.
they see the alternative as a bunch of phony scolds who look down on them, and call everything racist and 'phobic.

and hes retweeted and followed (now unfollowed) various alt right folks.

and listeners of his podcast say hes gone on about left wing 'groupthink' sometimes.

thats prolly the common thread right there.

relatedly...the black crowes said he wanted them to perform with the confederate flag and they refused.

the kanye west confederate flag era was during the recording/promotion of the yeezus album when he worked with rick rubin.

at least are black Southerners who in theory could have been trying to reappropriate the stars and bars for their own positive purposes other than the horrid history behind the flag. I don't agree with the method behind the madness, but at least I can somewhat get what they were doing.

Kanye on the other hand doesn't have that Southern connection, so I'm guessing he was just going the trolling/shock value route in that regard.

He. Believes. This. Shit.

Honestly that's is just blind fandom and lazy thinking talking

That doesn't mean he doesn't believe what he's saying.

And while YOU see him as that, HE sees himself as a much bigger, grander entity to the world at large.

He acts like he's a martyr for a cause here.

Everyone who does or says outlandish shit is seen as a troll these days.

Problem is, people actually believe in this shit.

Whether or not they have an organized movement behind those beliefs is irrelevant.

Frannkly, the impact of his words is another subject IMO. But calling it trolling is just plain lazy, a byproduct of reductive message board culture.

Fan of his early work and if he makes a beat that’s hot I won’t lie about it but umm, fan of this Kanye? No… not since the MBDTF and even that was just average to me.


you actually think he believes this stuff and that is what makes it serious or mental illness?

plenty of people have shitty theories or political hot takes/beliefs.. it doesn’t make them mentally ill.

ask KRS One about the illuminati and watch him go.. ask Wise Intelligent about the back of a dollar bill and he can have a 2 hour conversation on it. Trust me, he did when I was in college.

I’ve met a lot of rappers over the years and most of them have some wild takes on politics and government.

Ye aint special fam, he is no different than regular ass folks online who fall down the rabbit hole of online conspiracy theories. He just has a much larger reach so everyone acts like he is mentally ill. If he wasn’t famous he would just be another dirty ass looking dude who shows up to townhall meeting and screams into the mic until his 3 minutes are up.

Weird, since I didn't say that his beliefs "make him mentally ill".

What are you talking about?

Nah, I don't entertain those cats. But do you fam lol


>Ye aint special fam, he is no different than regular ass folks
>online who fall down the rabbit hole of online conspiracy
>theories.

Oh word? He's no different from the basement dweller with little or no audience?

So every Jim Bob posting his nutjob theories from his bedroom is getting picked up on every major news outlet?

He just has a much larger reach so everyone acts
>like he is mentally ill.

No, people say he's mentally ill because he acts mentally ill.

shit I've seen you and others call me mentally for simply having a contentious exchange- but NOT YE, SWAY. lol

You know he's also talked about his mental health issues too.

But that's neither here nor there, because you pulled a thread I didn't put out there.

>If he wasn’t famous he would just
>be another dirty ass looking dude who shows up to townhall
>meeting and screams into the mic until his 3 minutes are up.

.... but he's not. Which is, you know, a huge difference, and is in fact the reason we're talking about this.

But that stature also carries a voice and influence. whether or not he's organized is irrelevant.

293. "The confederate flag stuff never really bothered me. "
In response to Reply # 283


  

          

Growing up in VA I associated the confederate flag more with dukes of hazard than something really threatening. They were on folks t-shirts all the time growing up.

When it really started popping up as something aggressive and loaded with sending a present racist message was when the flags started popping up in people's yards during the Obama years.

nah fam.. while it was something I saw often down south, I never associated it with that lame excuse of southern pride.

It was always a symbol of oppression and intimidation.

now, I had no idea when it was on Dukes of Hazard but I will never forget my moms face when I said I wanted that car.

303. "I am saying I didn't see it where I am from in VA. "
In response to Reply # 294


  

          

You might see it in VA Beach on pickup trucks and beach towels but where I grew up folks weren't flying them in their yards.

But then I grew up in a majority black area in VA so even when I did see it, it really didn't get much of a rise out of me (I think I remember a couple of poor white trash kids who use to have it on their car or jean jacket). When you surrounded by black people, a punk with a confederate flag ain't intimidating anyone.

So the place I saw it most often was Dukes of Hazards.

It wasn't until Obama was elected President did a lot of folks start proudly flying the flags in their yards where I am from. That's when I started aggressively seeing it flown y middle class people as a pushback on Obama and trying to make a statement.

In response to Reply # 313


  

          

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying I didn't know what a confederate flag was or didn't know the history. It just didn't mean shit growing up in the environment I grew up in.

Like there was one of those daughter of the American revolution statutes confederate soldier statues right in the middle of town. But we use to play on that shit.

The government was run by black people, the sheriff was black, the superintendent of schools was black...Like it wasn't like we didn't know white racism or my county didn't have a racist segregated history, but by the time I was growing up black people were firmly in charge and we never felt fearful of white people, white power growing up. It was actually a good thing.

Mugs came down to study it, it was so unique, but because of it, I can understand not having a strong emotional reaction to the confederate flag.

that flag doesn’t scare me.

but I knew what that shit represented and I wasn’t wearing it, defending it or accepting it was “southern pride”

this isn’t about fear, its about knowledge and you admitted you didn’t know its intentions until 2007.

which means you were probably on some “its just a flag, its their history” type bullshit until Obama ran for office…

just sayin’ it sounds like ignorance.

to potential buyers over the last few weeks.

https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/18/23410816/kanye-parler-acquisition-business-history-free-speech-spam

they prolly got kanye for whatever inflated price they initially asked for.

the parler app only has about 50k daily users lol.

the owners bought a cloud services company recently so they could move away from the failed app. not only are they getting kanye to buy the app...but theyre getting him to pay additionally for their cloud services that the app runs on.

kanye is an easy mark.

and according to tmz...he is blowing through money all across the board...

In response to Reply # 304


  

          

will come into play in terms of establishing a legal precedent.

Alex Jones was rallying against those children from Sandy Hook for years upon years, so I'm not too sure if comparing the two is completely fair now that I think about it.

I can't imagine having Kanye in a court of law would end well for him and he'd probably make matters worse. Have to wonder if he's smart enough to realize that.

314. "What a dumb lawsuit. It has money grab written all over it."
In response to Reply # 304
Tue Oct-18-22 03:23 PM by allStah

          

Johnny Depp’s lawsuit wasn’t even for that amount, and his name and image
were seriously adulterated.

250 million for a comment he made on a podcast, which was his perception. Now
I don’t agree with his statements, but a judge is going to look at that and laugh. And this could put the Floyd family in a bad light.

Everyone knows Kanye has a mental disorder, and doesn’t think things through,
which will be a very strong defense, and plus his powerful attorneys who will more
than likely get the absurd lawsuit thrown out

What ambulance chasing law firm put them up to this? The absurdity of the amount is
what is going to get the case laughed at…..now if it we’re 500,000 or 1 million, then maybe
I could see some sense it.

But a quarter of a billion dollars?

That’s a laugh for the day.

"his knee wasn't even on his neck like that" he's basically saying the knee didn't kill the man. why even bring any of this up though?

so you'd be ok with a law suit for less money? why wouldn't they ask for sky's the limit funds? seems counter to production to ask for less.

That is not grounds for a lawsuit, let alone a 250 million dollar lawsuit.

Just like his comments about slavery being a choice. He speaks without thinking, because
of his inability to think things thorough. It’s a handicap that be proven.

It’s a ridiculous money grab and it reflects negatively on the Floyd family.

In response to Reply # 326


          

“The guys knee wasn’t even on his neck like that…mama,mama, was his girlfriend…he
was screaming for his mama…It’s in the documentary.”

He was talking about what he saw in the George Floyd
documentary. His statements regarding that subject were
all in regards to what he saw in the documentary. He was
elaborating on that.

Again, I don’t agree with his observation, but he was basically given
his opinion on the matter, which he has a right to…..

That is not grounds for a lawsuit, let alone a lawsuit for a quarter of
billion dollars. It’s a clear money grab.

nobody is disputing that. he has enough resources to get himself taken care of. we don't know if he is or not. there are consequences for not doing so, financial and otherwise. his own family is in shambles.

this is who Ye is and has been for the last few years. can't keep blaming that on mental health. at some point, he has to take responsibility.


what about those families that alex jones has to pay? frivolous?

It’s a frivolous lawsuit, easily. Kanye’s statements didn’t create trauma or slander
that’s worth 250 million dollars. The amount in Itself makes it absurd.

We live in a ridiculous litigious society.

we live in, thinking we can sue for any and everything and for any amount.

There is zero sensibility in your comment of anyone in this situation
being traumatized or having emotional distress in the amount of a
quarter of a billion dollars.

The lawsuit is massively frivolous….

its not some random person filing a lawsuit.

Its a family member pissed off Ye is spreading false information for self promotion.

plenty of people hold Ye’s opinion on Floyd but once you go on a platform and spread that info to millions of people? That is when you can get hit with a lawsuit.

Its no different than Alex Jones and Sandy Hook.

I have no moral qualms with listening to old Kanye tracks. Not even a little. I'll never buy any of his merchandise, but that isn't hard because I think its all ugly.

But the music still knocks, and that doesn't change for me whether he is a dirtbag or not.

Dont feel a bit of dissonance about it.

I wish more cats who still loved his music didn't feel the need to defend him because of it.

It’s impossible for people like Elvis, MJ, prince etc to grow broke…..They have too
money making assets, and their image alone will continue to generate revenue
for them…but they are not invincible. They can be murdered.
They can die, and they can be imprisoned. Kanye falls into that same category.

I’m afraid that something physical or fatal is going to happen to him. He is creating too
many enemies inside and outside of his culture….

You are doing this for Kanye specifically for whatever reason. Maybe you really like COllege Droop out or you're retirement plan is a bunch of Yeezy's you have in your closet. Whatever it is, don't trot out, like Kanye's weak shit, that you dying on the hill for the people. Stop it. It's embarrassing.

And another thing. A people with a lot more dough than Kanye, with less baggage and know how to read a contact, have gone broke. You mention MJJ but he died half a billion dollars in debt and ended up going on the tour that killed him because he needed the money. Wealthier people than Kanye lose or mortgage their fortunes all the time.

I see you and Kanye are trying to go into Martyr role and talk about his brave talk is going to end up being the death of him and it's bullshit. He ain't Fred Hampton. He ain't Malcolm. He ain't Martin.


You spend way more time talking about Kanye's enemies then trying to hold him accountable for what he says and do.

Again not sure the reason for the undying loyalty, but I am sure it won't be paid back.

I think you type just to type. I couldn’t give a Fock about what other black people
think or do.

I clearly referred to my observation and account of him. Again, I could not give a Fock
about your or anyone else, nor do I need your approval.

And less baggage? Mike was caught up in pedophile accusation situation, which in
my opinion, is way worse than this. Baggage is baggage, issues are issues. I’m not here
to judge the weight or significance of a person’s baggage.

I just hope the brother survives and that nothing happens to him. That is my focal point.

Again, I couldn’t give one Fock about you, so you can log off or push that shit somewhere
else.

and they can’t help themselves. I know from personal experience. My brother was
a crackhead, and did all types of notorious things to family and friends. This went on
for 30 + years, but he was able to turn himself around. Now he is a truck driver making
serious 6 figures.

My brother’s jail record is probably as long as the English Channel…but he overcame it.
He cleaned himself up in his late 40s to early 50s….Usually, it’s over at that point for
most drug addicts at that age, but he did it.

Kanye is no different…no matter how bad his situation is.. he can overcome it.

what prescription or form of treatment is necessary to help him. But from a human
standpoint ,as an everyday person, I can only hope that he survives.

Take a step back and look at how many well known, famous black people have
either lost their lives or their livelihood. From MJ, to Cosby, to R Kelly, to Prince, to
Whitney,etc. That’s a pattern. Some of it was due to fame, drug addiction, sex addiction,
child abuse( MJ), mental disorders. And now here is Kanye, who appears to be traveling
down that same road. It’s a recurring theme or story that never gets corrected.

It’s easy to just dismiss the situation and say, well, he is an adult and he should be able
to help himself. It’s not that simple and it’s not that easy, especially when a person
doesn’t have control of himself, and is unable to have control due to his mental illness.

Its easy to clown him and clown those who hope and wish he comes out of this okay.
You got people on here attacking me and saying negative things about me because
I have a different view point of Kanye than they do. That’s our society. That’s the
program. It’s easy to attack and disregard than it is to try to assist and support
people.

Our society is very abusive and inhumane. This thread is proof of that.

But, as person with the ability to critically think, I can only hope that the brother
comes out of this okay. That’s all I can do, and it doesn’t cost me anything.

In response to Reply # 357


  

          

Even if we disagree.

Even if their 100 is off base, incorrect, etc

And that does happen. They're also well meaning, if misguided.

They just don't have a real frame of reference, or they do, and they're comparing me to that frame, blind to the fact that this shit is NOT one size fits all.

I've had friends say they don't "see" the depression, anxiety, bipolar, ptsd.

They don't "get that vibe" from me.

I mean, cool. Good. That means that I'm relatively functional.

But it's insulting, because it downplays the real, serious issues I deal with.

Other friends know *very* well.

Some get it, because they deal with similar shit.

One gets it because he's a licensed MFT and understands everything I'm saying.

Another gets it because she not only exhibits the same symptoms, but because they manifest in the same way.

And if I'm in a situation when I'm doing self destructive things, I need those people to keep it real with me. Hold me accountable.

And they do.

Sure, understand the big picture. But still hold me accountable.

There are very few signs that Ye has anyone like that in his life.

If he does, he's ignoring them.

Sure, he needs people to be there for him.
What he doesn't need, is people giving him every excuse in the book.

And no, citing his mental illness isn't an excuse. It's a partial reason, it helps explain some of the more unhinged moments, but it doesn't magically resolve the issues those moments create.

He needs support.
What he has, are enablers.

Those are not the same.

Or are you one of the ones giving more grace to Kanye than regular folks...including people he has personally hurt or damaged?


Kanye is to be forgiven/protected/given the benefit of the doubt/whatever...but you're out here shitting on the Floyd family for trying to shut Kanye the fuck up? For real?

Curious you stopped replying here-

So you are concerned with his trauma, but not the family of George Floyd?

Why are you so worried about his pockets?

And if his pockets are as straight as you say, paying the Floyd family for fucking lying about the man's death shouldn't be a big deal to dude.

Or would Kanye's potential murder be more important than George Floyd's?


>
>They can die, and they can be imprisoned. Kanye falls into

If that happened, would you think that would be traumatic for his family?

If that happened, and Alex Jones went on air to lie about it and blame Kanye's potential drug use, etc...fair game?

I mean, you don't have double standards for Kanye West do you?


He is creating too
>many enemies inside and outside of his culture….

Right because he is a terrible fucking person. He is a selfish, spoiled, asshole who can't handle the slightest bit of criticism or rejection.

Obama called him a jackass...he went MAGA.

His wife started fucking with a b-list comedian...he went full psycho.

He got some very justified pushback/criticism on his fashion/white lives matter shit....now he's going full Nazi.


He has "enemies" because he is a terrible person who is acting increasingly reckless.


You are hyper focused on his pockets...he has more money/resources than most people can even comprehend. He has the resources to take care of his mental issues.

He needs to...Be an adult...see a psychologist on the regular...stay on his meds...and work out why his ego is so fragile that even the slightest hiccup leads to psycho shit.


But nah...lets give more grace Kanye West than George Floyd's family, etc.

imbalance, where he is unable to control his verbal actions, which can/is
putting him in danger. I don’t care about words or verbal expressions. They’re
words. Kanye hasn’t physically hit anyway or physically done anything to anyone.

However, the world isn’t like me, and some people get easily triggered by words or
opinions.

I hope and wish that he gets the help that he needs and that nothing happens to him.

Now, if you can’t understand that, then Fock off…

Put the debate megaphone down. I know you want to go back and forth on
some bullshit….so have fun with yourself.

Clearly, he has some serious, serious mental difficulties.

I don't get that impression.
My impression is that he went down a rabbit hole guided by Candace Owens and the like. And he likes and believes what he saw.

There are a whole bunch of people just like him. The only difference is he has a megaphone and an "I don't care" attitude (the attitude is probably bolstered by his wealth).

I challenge you to find 3 post from allstah outside of stock talks.. that he is on the right side.

its like he reads the room and then makes sure to be the most extreme and wrong possible to get attention

Its impressive.. lol

your defense is posting on message boards? That’s it right?

You can’t help him

Buddy thinks I defend him but my defense is the nigga aint crazy or chemically imbalanced. He is just a narcissist.

Folks dont even realize they are doing more defending of Ye than I am when they use mental illness for his actions.

I personally believe he loves all this attention and he’s a rapper so some of his thoughts are things a lot of rappers believe. Sista Soldier got in trouble for her jewish comments and PE walked it back because Chuck D knows the game.

A person giving an opinion is not a criminal or physical act, no matter
what you feel about it or what you think of that person.

You can get mad. You can huff and puff, and you can threaten with litigations. That
doesn’t stop that fact.

The issue with Kanye is that he is a person who obviously has a mental imbalance, personality disorder. That’s already been proven. He was already diagnosed. This ain’t
brand new…..From his abrupt award interruptions, his tv and radio outbursts, to his now
all out verbal war against any and everyone.

And if it’s not treated or medicated, it’s just going to get worse.

Which, while not a CRIME, does make you liable for damages. Which - now he might be. See; Alex Jones.

But because you leave out things when convenient for your "case", I'm just gonna let you be loud and wrong as usual.

Fuck Kanye. With or without a mental illness, he's shitty.

You know.

Like George Floyd dying from Fentanyl. The thing you DIDN'T post above and are clearly trying to avoid. That was proven in a CRIMINAL court. That's not an opinion. That's an outright lie.

Kanye is a shitty person is an opinion.

George Floyd was murdered = NOT an opinion.

Thanks for playing. I'm sure Kanye appreciates your support in his time of need.

404. "So you're saying he isn't bipolar, correct?"
In response to Reply # 382


  

          

You're saying he's free from all mental illness, right?

And there's no cross section between mental illness and conspiracy nuts, right?

I want to make sure I understand this correctly.

Because you seem certain, despite evidence to the contrary, including Ye talking about it, that he doesn't have the illness even he has admitted he has been diagnosed with.

I'm curious about your expertise in the field, that allows you to diagnose him with a clean bill of mental health in light of those facts.

If, say, instead of a mental illness, he had a broken leg, and did/said all the same things, would you deny that he has a broken leg?

I'm just trying to understand your insistence on this, given the information we have on it. there's not a TON, but it's there.

As it stands, everything that you say can be summarized as:

"Ye's a marketing mastermind who, when he says wild, outlandish things, is always, without exception, only ever trolling people, because he's just that much of a marketing genius. He just has too much time and money on his hands, and the only reason that he ever says or does anything is solely for those reasons, and never for any other reason, especially not because he's having a manic episode. Those are fake too."

when he goes on these rants.

Does being mentally ill make you say racist shit like “slavery was a choice?” or is it watching Candace Owens videos while fucking with Rick Ruben?

Does mental illness make you back Trump or is it because Obama called you an ass?

He ain’t crazy but he may be superstar crazy.. and by that I mean he thinks rules don’t apply
to him and he can say and do whatever because he is “Ye”.. and real talk, the media and fans have rewarded him handsomely for a lot of his antics. It has to be wild to make half ass songs and STILL sell out an arena for a “listening party”

Of one with bipolar disorder etc as well

yall may not like what he says and he doesn't have to present as disorganized in his speech to be determined "crazy" as you and others state, but 99% of you dont now what the fuck you're talking about

at all and thats par for the course when it comes to mental illness..its not as blatant or obvious as having a broken leg or heart trouble etc

black community here remains in the dark about this issue which effects many of you or your family (yall just called it something else)

It's not something that goes away.

It's something people can learn to cope with in healthy ways

I wouldn't say he's exhibited those traits

But if he's saying he's not or no longer bipolar, he's either in denial, or that initial diagnosis was incorrect.

>when he goes on these rants.

Got it. So it magically vanishes during those rants. Funny how that timing works.

>Does being mentally ill make you say racist shit like
>“slavery was a choice?” or is it watching Candace Owens
>videos while fucking with Rick Ruben?
>Does mental illness make you back Trump or is it because Obama
>called you an ass?

Do you think mental illness magically vanishes when people say those things?

Because the implication is that anyone who says these things has a clean bill of mental health.

>He ain’t crazy but he may be superstar crazy.. and by that I
>mean he thinks rules don’t apply
>to him and he can say and do whatever because he is “Ye”..

Do you think these things are mutually exclusive?

Because they're not.

A racist can still be a racist AND be bipolar.
A conspiracy nut can believe ridiculous shit, and still be bipolar.

What people do, how they do it, and, YES, when they do it, all of that can and is still processed through their mental illness.

I think one of two things are likely true here:

1. You're just being obtuse, and know better
2. You REALLY do not know what you're talking about.

Because you don't seem to get anything about how mental illness impacts people's actions, nor the concept that different people deal with it in different ways.

Someone in Ye's position may not believe they have to deal with it at all, and never reign in anything.

Others may be so self-aware and worried about the damage it could do, that they keep it so under wraps you're not even aware that they have it.

Some people do the fucking work to hold it down.
Some people don't do any.

Alot of people do the work, falter, get back to it, falter, get back to it, rinse, wash, repeat.

"falter" can mean something different to each person, depending on what their dealing with, their goals, etc.

There are countless different ways this shit impacts people.

That he has a position that affords him that freedom, does not mean that his mental illness isn't *also* a driving factor in *how* he presents it.

Note that I said "a", and not "the", because these are all pieces in a bigger puzzle.

These are not either/or propositions.

384. "Nope."
In response to Reply # 380


          


He doesn’t have a support system or support team. It’s a sad
situation.

Losing his mother and marrying Kim were really really bad
for his life.

People know Kanye is not mentally stable, but he is a creative mind and
a money maker….That’s so open for manipulation.

He has his father, but his father wasn’t really part of his life like his mother was,
so that’s not a commanding situation. And he isn’t close with his step-siblings.

The relationships with Mos, talib and 88 keys are music relationships.
That goes for Hov as well.

He doesn’t have any solid friends or family members in his corner….He is in a very
dangerous place. …just people who are going to feed him and feed off him. And since
he doesn’t appear to have the ability to help himself or stop himself, either there will
be an explosion or an implosion.

was just his opinion...


But you making absolute statements about Kanye's support system as if you know him personally...is not?



My point is you are all over the map to defend this clown.

Kanye says some terrible shit...its just his opinion.

You support Kanye because of his ethnicity and because he lost his mom.

Floyd family sues him to stop him from saying terrible lies about their very recent, terrible, public loss...you have criticism for them.

I haven't seen you say anything about their trauma. Is their trauma less important than Kanye losing his mom years ago?


Can you really not see what a fucking hypocrite you are being?


Maybe you're trolling like Legs says...I just think you have a strange double standard for the rich and famous which is just fucking weird.


Kanye has more money than any of us can dream of. He has plenty of resources. Probably has more friends than you give him credit for.

He's just a fragile ego who can't take the slightest critique.

In response to Reply # 393


          

know how to properly communicate without making derogatory comments and spewing
insults. I said nothing about your character. I don’t know you, and I never will.
We simply agree to disagree, and I will leave it at that.

So the only thing left to say to you is PEACE.

I pointed out you are being a hypocrite (you are)


and that you seems to have a habit of defending the rich and famous. Especially if they are from Chicago.


But you haven't addressed anything that I have pointed out. You haven't answered a question, directly responded, etc.


I guess you are just trolling. Now I know why Cold Truth stopped bothering.


You weren't a victim here. (Kanye isn't a victim, either)

I don’t know what is.

He has no sense of dignity…zero. No sense of weak or strong.

And it’s really shitty that Charlemagne would even reveal that…..any real
man wouldn’t have mentioned that, especially on another brother.

His ex moving on, any criticism at all, Kweli calling him out, etc...all the way back to Obama calling him a jackass.

He can't take that shit.

Charlemagne not taking his side...worried about the size of Pete's dick.


Dude is a fucking fraud.


He ain't the first one to lose a mom or marry the wrong person, so it aint that.


He's just a fucking dweeb with a fragile ass ego.

398. "Wishing survival for someone is not defending someone."
In response to Reply # 395


          

There is an obvious mental component here. The brother needs assistance,
and doesn’t realize that he needs assistance, and is unable to help himself.

I don’t give up on people, especially someone whose actions are affected by some type
of handicap or disorder. His transgressions are verbal transgressions.
He hasn’t physically hurt, shot, stabbed or killed anyone.

Kanye isn’t some crafty politician or populists looking to conquer and divide. Candace
Owns and Trump are more guilty of that. Kanye is emotionally and mentally unstable.
And when a person has those conditions, they are liable to say and do anything, and
they are also very impressionable and vulnerable in that state.

We saw just how unstable Kanye was earlier in his career when he went off script on
SNL, and we saw it when he responded vehemently and emotionally to a simple,
calm question by Sway. Sway handled that situation not only in a mature fashion, but
he clearly understood Kanye’s emotional state and maintained his composure.

I know brothers like Kanye. I’ve seen brothers like Kanye….I just don’t want that brother
to become a statistic like all the other black celebrities who became statistics because of
their mishaps and transgressions.

It’s like my brother when he was addicted to crack and doing all types of criminal things.
I didn’t give him money and there were certain things I wouldn’t do, but I never gave up
on him….. and if my brother was able to turn his life around, that same possibility is
there for Kanye.

I just believe a person needs you the most when they are down and out. A healthy
patient doesn’t need a doctor. The sickest one does.

I don’t see anyone rooting against his survival. Just rooting for him to chill in this shit and get help.

adidas seems to be holding out. even releasing new yeezys and hiring new marketing staff members specifically for their yeezy line.

https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1583969189630353409


my feeling is...theyre gonna have to cut ties soon too. i see the public pressure swelling...adidas own history with nazism is becoming increasingly prominent in the conversation...

and with kanye basically backing adidas into corner with shit like this clip below...i dont see how they think they can just weather this and things will improve on the other side (kanye has shown a trend of only getting *more* extreme)

He’s been with them for touring since 2016.

He also hasn’t toured since 2016.

So, it’s SOMETHING but not exactly what it might seem on paper. still, I do think this is the end of the line for him.

Of West’s estimated $2 billion fortune, a whopping $1.5 billion was attributable to his relationship with Adidas, Forbes said on Tuesday. The loss of the deal effectively erases that massive chunk of his net worth, which is now estimated to be a comparatively paltry $400 million.
-----

i know a select few of us on here tried to say the overwhelming majority of his net worth was from the estimated valuation of his yeezy brand based on its association with adidas. and the minute that relationship ends...so does his status as a billionaire. predictably...some niggas on here wasnt tryna hear it tho lol.

435. "Paper billionaires"
In response to Reply # 434


          

I mean are you really "worth" the amount of money they estimate if you don't have it in the bank, or in an asset you can sell?

$400 million is enough.

Hell give me $6 million and I'll retire TODAY and live my entire life on it. Honestly, I could do it on $2 million.

436. "these celebrity brand/licensing deals are mostly smoke and mirrors"
In response to Reply # 435


          

outside of the definitive royalty they receive.

its why theres been so much relative/debatable uncertainty about the net worth of kanye, kylie jenner, rihanna, etc.

you can get 5 different opinions on the value of a celebrity vanity brand based on a myriad of factors and speculation including how much that company means to the financial bottom line of the larger public corporation that it is partnered with.

its not like musk, bezos, gate, etc where the bulk of their holdings are in stock with actual value we can calculate on a constant basis.

In response to Reply # 436


  

          

on the table....
and if there's no "offer"....
how quickly could they obtain one?
and once purchased, how valuable is the asset in name only??

I can't really think of any formally Black owned/operated companies that sold their brand and the brand increased or even maintained value (of course I only gave it like 30 secs of thought while typing this post...)

for like 100 million which then sold to Coca Cola for billions a few years later.

That being said - with celebrity owned companies the brand worth is tied explicitly to that celebrity. So it's really moreso a next level endorsement vs. a business built from scratch. So it makes sense that the brand's worth wouldn't hold when the celeb is gone.

according to Bloomberg:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-25/adidas-is-said-to-end-kanye-west-partnership-after-controversies

Adidas will terminate the partnership with Ye, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies, it said. The decision comes at a price: that line of sneakers accounts for almost half of Adidas’s profits, according to estimates from analysts.

Why is it so hard to fathom that he really believes this stuff?

But couldn't it be as simple as he is one of the probably millions of people in the US that would agree wholeheartedly with what he is saying

In response to Reply # 446


          

Do we really think a rapper from Chicago who used to run with Mos, Kweli, Chapelle and Jay didn’t have convos about “who runs the music business”

Anyone in hip hop or close to hip hop heard these conversations.. but it wasn’t something you said into a microphone or publicly.

and how can you not look at the timing of it all?

He goes from accusing Adidas of stealing his designs to wanting out of the deal (along with Gap) if they didn’t renegotiate and after “going crazy publicly” he is no longer in his deals.

If there's any manipulation here, it's him using his- yes- real, actual= mental health issues to his advantage in those situations.

I also think it's probable that his initial issues are an offshoot of something else.

Thing is, his inclination toward everything that isn't working out according to his ideals is to burn it all down.

and while some say “look at his marriage” that shit was mostly a business arrangement as well.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he never even tapped that, lol..

He chose the most popular woman in the world and then used her to help get into the fashion industry.. and her whole fam is one big ass (pun intended) business.

if this was done BEFORE he accused them of stealing and he tanked a perfectly good deal I would believe he was mental but this shit always happens when he doesn’t get his way or someone roast his ass publicly.

Tariqhu is saying Ye is saying he's not mentally ill
So I'll defer to that with the caveat that, as my understanding is that he was diagnosed with bipolar at one time, he's either in denial, or the diagnosis was wrong.

Because it doesn't just go away, though people can learn to deal with it in healthy ways.

The fact that he deals with things with these tantrums leads me to believe that it's more than just him being immature.

Both things can be true:

He can still be bipolar *and* an arrogant, ego maniacal narcissist.

oh yeah, he says he's not bipolar, but was just exhausted. so not on meds.

what's the "deeper than it is" part?

He's burning down a lot of potential future opportunities in the process, if this is the plan.

I think he actually believes this shit.

None of what he's saying is actually good for his brand, or current/future business relationships.

The man child shit is obvious and always has been, but it's not exclusively apart from anything else he's doing.

There's no reason to believe he doesn't actually believe all of this.

Whether he calculated that doing this will get him dropped from Adidas and Gap doesn't change the fact that he's burning a lot more than those relationships, making it a pretty dumb move.

"mastermind 5d chess" is hyperbole, to be sure, but I think there's a lot more at play than just a plan to get out of his deals.

healthy people don't handle those situations this way. Period.

If you felt someone was shortchanging you would you want them to keep using your name and popularity to sell shit?

When Prince changed his name to a symbol we were all confused until we found out why.

I agree, he isn’t some evil genius.. and he isn’t acting like one. Dude is calling up news stations and podcast to say wild shit to get out of a deal. It’s not like he is on some Succession shit trying to take over Adidas through some back door board room deals.

He owns Donda Sports, and his clients are Jaylen Brown and Aaron Donald.
Jaylen says he sticking with the agency, but doesn’t agree with Kanye’s comments.

Man, this dude built an empire and he is destroying it overnight. I’m not sure it can
be salvaged at this point, but if someone could just mentally reach this dude. That’s a lot

you got a lot of white politicians, oligarchs, media moguls, etc waving the banner of racism and antisemitism pretty much unchecked and barely covered right now. people with real power closely aligned with literal neo nazis in this country and internationally.

but fucking kanye decided he wanted to go on a national jew hating media blitz and make this the centerpiece of whatever social/cultural kick hes on.

and now people get to blame a black man for a widespread and deep embedded historical animosity towards jewish people that has overwhelmingly been perpetuated by white supremacists.

They still bring up the summer of BLM like it was the worst thing ever and the real problem with America. Not storming the capital to stop an election, burning down a Target is the real terrorism in this country.

Even if he fully prostrates himself and goes on a massive apology tour to get mainstream support so he can get the partnerships he needs to create his gaudy clothing lines, just imagine how sharp his current far/alt-right support system will attack him.

I'm somewhat curious how much the current alt-right will be willing to support Kanye and line his pockets since I'm assuming that's the only folk that will rock with him.

they can’t and want to voice, and since he doesn’t no any better he
Is allowing them to enable him, and it’s killing his life.

The fact that anyone is taking him seriously is insane. When Kanye said what he said
about slavery, no one talked about canceling him out. He was talking about black people,
so people didn’t care, and black people just laughed at him and knew he was unaware.
Now he goes and state some incorrect stuff about Jewish people, and now the
perception is he is the second coming of Hitler?

His comments about Jews are no different than his comments about black people
and slavery, so why is the perception completely different? Where was the outage
and abandonment then?

It was about black people, so people didn’t care, so they sympathized with him, and
said he needed help…but now that it’s about Jewish people, where is that same
sympathy? Now he is labeled as evil and the second coming of Hitler, and is being
illustrated as the face of antisemitism.

All this talk about him representing Black folks collectively is something no self respecting Black person should even be considering as even partially worth giving weight.

473. "He will probably need some form of mainstream support"
In response to Reply # 471


  

          

to operate at the large and grandiose level he will want to, especially since he's marginalized himself to getting fringe support with his numerous outbursts.

I'm sure he'll get some degree of support from the far right wing that he's been attracting, but I doubt it'll be enough for him to be fully independent, especially since he has his hands in so many pots.

Outside him fully prostrating himself and going on a large scale apology tour to get some form of mainstream support, I can't see him attaining the level of success he wants and probably thinks he deserves as I'm guessing there a large degree of entitlement with this dude to act the way he does.

he's doesn't have a factory or distribution without them or somebody else already in the business.

he can still do his own thing on a smaller scale. that'll be harder now that his rep has been damaged and he's burned even more relationships.

if he just wanted to live life and then die.

But this dude craves attention. He needs the people. So more than likely he hits rehab in Arizona if he wants to get back in or he goes full DGAF and makes some chinese foam Timbs and goes Mel Gibson with it.

Ionno, I think we are about to see how grimy capitalism is and Nike or Reebok reach out to him after a brief hiatus.

I still think there is too much money to be made off him for him to not get another deal.

Hell, he could go to China and Indonesia to have his products made and simply
distribute through his website and other platforms, which he is already doing.

It wouldn’t be easy but it would be manageable.

The issue would be the selling aspect of it. People wearing yeezy might get shamed
for wearing Yeezy, and be seen as someone who supports his dogmas…That would
stop even his biggest followers from buying or wearing his items.

484. "Fucked up. Everything Is getting shut down."
In response to Reply # 481


          


On another note…

The vision for that was next level. One of the reasons he ended his contract with them,
was that Gap had agreed to open up YEEZY GAP stores, and not just be under Gap.
It was basically a second brand, and when all of the Yeezy products sold out, Gap wanted
to keep it under just straight gap to get the notoriety. Those Yeezy stores would have
been major competition to regular gap stores. Gap realized that and reneged.

Just like Nike and Yeezys, Gap totally underestimated his selling power….

Buts it’s all shit now. He is fucking up all of his great ideas and concepts.

time and true contrition from Ye would help. he hasn't shown that he's capable of that though.

Sway had the answers and now maybe Ye will take the solo route. depends on his ego and being ok with being a boutique brand. even with that, he'll still have trouble selling. his brand has been severely damaged.

he was Kanye and Puffy before Kanye and Puffy.

Syrian Jews gave him the money to start Phat Farm, and it was also
the same way Jay Z started Rocawear and Nelly started Apple Bottoms.

Russell completely breaks down how the fashion industry works, and
how Jews were able to own a lot of businesses and properties in NY.


If anyone knows what he is taking about it’s Russell.

>Did stans/shoe buyers sign deals with him ?

Every new shoe purchased is an endorsement.

"Fans" could have ended these deals with their dollars, they did not.

Maybe they will in the future we he launches new stuff.

If you're asking "Why do people care more about the Jews than slavery?" well then, welcome to America!

In response to Reply # 507


  

          

That's fans and stans, so the real question is not why do they continue to "endorse him" since it's obvious.

I'm not asking about America, I'm asking why are you placing "stans" and "fans" above the companies that signed deals with him and promoted him ?

I agree the COMAPNIES could and, imho, SHOULD have taken action sooner.

But no demand then no profit in supply. And less demand means less profit.

I already said I think they should have left earlier.

They didn't because of MONEY.

The holocaust is their line apparently to lose profits.

And apparently the buying public agrees that slavery isn't the line.

524. "how many black people defended/supported ye after anti-black comments?"
In response to Reply # 516
Wed Oct-26-22 12:10 PM by Reeq

          

now how many jewish people defended/supported ye after anti-jewish comments?

every time ye has made anti-black comments...prominent black celebrities, black music industry colleagues, black social media influencers, black right wing coons, black fans, etc have excused/rationalized his behavior and continued to buy/promote his music and apparel.

how realistic is it to expect people to inherit beefs that we ourselves dont even fight.

its like walking down the street and seeing a woman and her children get beat up by a criminal. and then you see her actual husband standing right there witnessing it all and he turns to you like 'why are you just standing there?! help her!'.

tons of black people stick by people after anti-black comments. ye, joe rogan, jon gruden, etc. we are quick to defend/forgive/humanize the offender.

but other groups express near absolute outrage and let the offender hang themselves on their own.

its hard to expect other people to care about our shit when the overwhelming public perception is that many of us dont care about that shit either.

I didn’t see that.

This aint got shit to do with US.

Go look at the timeline of Wyoming. A SHITLOAD of celebrities and most of them black went out to Wyoming to support him shortly after those comments.

Thats just one example with 100's of people.

Steve Rifkind and the other Jewish people Kanye name in the studio during that interview. Ben Shapiro right before it got even worse.

"every time ye has made anti-black comments...prominent black celebrities, black music industry colleagues, black social media influencers, black right wing coons, black fans, etc have excused/rationalized his behavior and continued to buy/promote his music and apparel.'

Nah he caught heat from from prominent black celebrities... for the Trump hug and hat, slavery choice comment...

you wouldn't dare agree with that.

527. "that value of his stake in skims is like the value of yeezy brand."
In response to Reply # 504


          

its based on volatile estimation/speculation and dependent on the celebrity of kim kardashian. we see how the value of the yeezy brand was grossly over-inflated. kanyes 5% stake in skims is only estimated to be worth $25 million (compared to the $1.5 billion yeezy stake). so its arguably much much lower. and that isnt something that he himself can use for cash.

right now...his only real ongoing source of income is an estimated $5 mil yearly music royalties.
https://twitter.com/billboard/status/1572310746314452992

he said in the piers morgan interview he has 'only' $120 million in his account 'to go to war with'. this is after wildly successful years receiving yeezy royalty payments and releasing albums.

and dude is already known for blowing money at a bad rate (including recently/potentially purchasing an overvalued social media app).

then you have the right wing grift machine thats gonna continue to tap his pockets.

dude is gonna be hurting for cash in a little while.

people are prolly gonna reply to this and debate it with a bunch of hypotheticals/unknowns. ye has big investments, hes still worth $400 mil, hes a genius so he will be alright, and so on. but i will just point to us having this same exact conversation about his net worth and the yeezy value. and we see how that turned out once facts/reality came into play.

556. "and I think the WeWork thing is a great example"
In response to Reply # 554


          

of believing your hype because you got millions of people to buy in.

and with Ye, dude obviously had A LOT of help with those early records and now we are seeing that without those people.. he is exposed.

Celeb worship is real so he is still able to sell shit clothing but the music sucks and real talk, I don’t see it with the shoes and clothing either.

Anyone else doing this would prolly be laughed out the building with that wack ass gear.

557. "It was actually a good school with 2 Five Star basketball players "
In response to Reply # 554
Thu Oct-27-22 04:40 PM by allStah

          

who went and played for the school. Five star players don’t grow on trees, and with
his sports agency in play, before Brown and Donald were forced to leave, Kanye was
building an all black amateur athletic to the pros business model.

( It’s boy’s basketball program has three top 50 recruits)

I forgot what interview I listened to where the concept was talked about.
He had a lot of good ideas lined up in regards to the academy.

They were not forced...they left because they saw which way the winds were blowing. Only one who forced this mess is Kanye.

Kanye was
>building an all black amateur athletic to the pros business
>model.

He was? Seems like he had 2 athletes and a scam Christian school.

Regardless, only a matter of time before his "model" would have flamed out regardless...some industries you need more than just a valuation.

Did any of these brilliant ideas involve NOT CHARGING $15/k for an unaccredited Christian school?


The last thing Kanye is is brilliant...that much is painfully obvious at this point.

He made 3-4 good to great albums with a lot of help.


Every time he speaks the "genius" label looks more and more ridiculous.

What are you doing?

Where are your ideas and business models?

You have any five star recruits. Do you have NIL deals lined up?
Are you putting kids in position to make millions of dollars?

Naw, you ain’t got shit but messages on a messageboard …
talking shit and not doing shit and ain’t about shit.


So continue to talk about another nigga that’s not YOU.

In response to Reply # 562


          

to criticize him? yeah, nah.

nothing on their site talks about basketball. nobody should be sending their child to that school, but he also shouldn't have founded it.

he's got a god complex, doesn't like being told no, and wants control of everything. it's not working for him anymore.

down. If it was being forced to closed, I am sure Kanye would have made mention of it.

It just as well may be that school didn't have their ish together. Specially sounds like that since they are making plans to reopen next year.

Again making excuses for this dude and blaming others for his triflingness.

In response to Reply # 558


          

built a school. You haven’t set up funds and scholarships to send black kids to schools.
You aren’t helping to build or invent anything for the community. You have no businesses.

You’re just on a message board talking shit about a man that you don’t know and
resources that you will never have and gain…

Kanye has done more for his community and the world than you ever will…that’s fact.

I don’t condone his behavior, but I be damn if his inventions and ideals to help the community
are shamed.

Please go somewhere!

No.

Stop trying to find an argument where there ISNT one.

The point is - he can both have mental illness AND be an asshole. And that's where we are.

598. "ive learned to ignore dude."
In response to Reply # 597


          

everyone else with sense knew exactly how to take my reply.

we crossed the mental illness threshold years ago.

i was pinpointing a specific one (different than bipolar disorder).

schizophrenia centers around delusions/fantasies...particularly ones having to do with persecution.

kanye believes *everyone* against him is being controlled by somebody else. whether its the jews. or the clintons (he believes kim was being controlled by them this whole time). or having a fake child planted in his home to indoctrinate his children (he names an actual/real child and their parent).

seems a bit deeper than manic episodes imo.

You are the main one, nonstop, posting stuff about Kanye on a daily bases. It’s quite
weird, very weird….

You make it a point in your life to demonize him.

Can you go one day without saying anything or posting about Kanye?

In response to Reply # 604


  

          

You're up in here being as loud and wrong as usual - willfully ignoring things that destroy whatever argument you're making at the time. You ignored the fact that he said George Floyd died from an OD when it was medically and legally proven otherwise because that'd actually make it hard for you to argue he shouldn't be sued for defamation. Now, you're just parroting the same thing over and over - "HE HAS MENTAL ILLNESS!!"

So what.

We all deal with people who have mental illness every day. I don't know a single person who DOESNT deal with it in some form or fashion. That doesn't mean you're devoid of consequences or get a free pass, either.

People suffer from alcoholism, but guess what? They still get ostracized from people they love because that's what consequences are. They don't get a free pass simply because they're an alcoholic. That's what makes for co-dependent relationships.

So yeah, every time you just sit back and say "WELL HE IS SUFFERING!!!" - that's not the whole story and I think I grow very tired of acting like it should be the punctuation and not a footnote.

DL Hughley says Kanye West would ‘already be in a conservatorship’ if ‘he had a vagina’

https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/445796-d-l-hughley-says-kanye-west-would-be-in-a-conservatorship-if-he-was-a-woman

D.L. Hughley says that Kanye West would already be in a conservatorship if he were a woman. The comedian made the statement while discussing West’s recent behavior with TMZ at LAX on Monday.

“If Kanye West was a female, if he had a vagina, he would already be in a conservatorship,” Hughley told the outlet. “Ask Wendy Williams and Britney Spears. And they didn’t do half the erratic stuff he did.”

From there, he clarified that he doesn’t believe West should actually be in a conservatorship. He also said that he doesn’t understand why West would compare himself to George Floyd or Emmett Till, as he has done in recent days.

Who is the "they" though. Assuming it's her family? Is it ordered by a judge?

Conservatorship seems awful.

Blowing through tens of millions of dollars seems awful

Being famous and broke seems awful.

I don't know if one awful for another is an equitable trade, and I am VERY glad I never have to make that decision.

All those people screaming “free brintney” sure have been quiet. Its clear now from all her posts why the situation had to be that way. I mean i still think her Dad was taking advantage of the situation but its still clear SOMEONE trustworthy should be in charge of her finances.

In response to Reply # 0
Thu Nov-03-22 03:30 PM by Reeq

          

i was skeptical when van lathan brought it up recently...because it was the 1st time its ever been mentioned and it just felt like dogpiling.

but nbcnews has corroboration from 3 different people on the incident (among other incidents).

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kanye-west-ye-settlement-anti-semitic-jewish-hitler-nazis-allegations-rcna54485
-----
On Oct. 11, Van Lathan, a former TMZ podcast host and producer, recounted another instance of antisemitic language from Ye.

On an episode of the “Higher Learning” podcast, Lathan said that during a 2018 “TMZ Live” interview, Ye said he loved Hitler and Nazis. Lathan pointed out that the comments were not published online. According to Lathan, the statement provoked a confrontation between a TMZ producer and Ye, which was eventually cut from the published segment.

Representatives for TMZ did not respond to a request for comment.

Three former TMZ employees said they remembered Ye’s statements about Nazis and Hitler and the confrontation that followed. The former employees asked to remain anonymous, citing nondisclosure agreements, unrelated to this specific incident, they say they signed with TMZ.

Two of the former TMZ employees said a Jewish producer stood up to confront Ye about his remarks about Nazis and Hitler.

One of the former employees said the only response from Ye they remembered was that he smiled.

After the interview, “Harvey got on the loudspeaker and was like: ‘Nobody do anything. Everybody just sit there. Nobody do anything with any work,’” said one of the three former employees, who worked as a production assistant, referring to TMZ founder Harvey Levin. Later, the former employee said, he was instructed “don’t post the Jewish stuff” by a co-worker who cited a directive from Levin.

Another of the three former employees said, “Harvey came back into the edit bay and said cut out anything related to Jews, to that type of antisemitism.

“I wish I kept the footage.”

In response to Reply # 623


          

I can already see their statement: “we felt Kanye was having a mental health episode, and was potentially under the influence, and therefore wasn’t in his right mind during the interview . Under these circumstances, we didn’t want to amplify his aberrant, out-of-character message of antisemitism in any way.”

All kidding aside, Van Lathan has balls or something for exposing this.

627. "Adidas plans to sell Yeezys under new branding"
In response to Reply # 0


          

https://www.businessinsider.com/adidas-to-sell-yeezys-under-new-name-after-parting-ways-with-kanye-west-2022-11

Adidas intends to release more Yeezys, but without Ye, as early as next year, the company said on its quarterly earnings call November 9.

Adidas began its partnership with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, in 2013. The nine-year relationship proved to be financially successful but turbulent. Adidas ultimately cut ties with the musician and fashion designer on October 25 in the wake of antisemitic comments and a string of public criticisms from him.

Ye frequently fought publically with Adidas management, including in June when he forcefully objected to the company releasing slides that resembled the Yeezy Slide, calling them, "a fake YEEZY made by Adidas themselves."

"I'm not standing for this blatant copying no more," he wrote on Instagram reacting to images of the Adidas Adilette slide. Ye has also condemned Adidas for creating "Yeezy Day" without his approval, naming sneaker releases on its own, and not creating physical retail stores devoted to his brand.

On a Wednesday call to discuss quarterly earnings, Adidas Chief Financial Officer Harm Ohlmeyer reiterated the company owns the designs it made in partnership with Ye.

"Adidas is the sole owner of all design rights registered to existing product," he said. "We intend to make use of these rights as early as 2023."

Pressed during a subsequent Q&A with reporters, Ohlmeyer declined to elaborate on Adidas' plans, beyond repeating the company owns "all the versions and new colorways. It's our IP."


An exception could be the Yeezy Slide, for which Ye owns the patent.

A reporter asked Ohlmeyer if there was any reputational risk to the company if it continued to release Yeezy products despite no longer having the backing of the artist.

"We are working through all the options," Ohlmeyer said. "When the time is right we will be more specific."

Sneaker Twitter's reaction to Adidas rebranding Yeezy is that the shoes will likely sell, but won't generate the previous hype achieved with Ye's involvement.

When Adidas announced its split with Ye, the company said it expected its bottom line to take a $247 million hit this year. Wednesday's earnings report was in-line with that forecast. Ohlmeyer added the company's annual revenue would be roughly $502 million lower than expected this year.

But Adidas will save roughly $302 million in 2023 because of royalties and marketing costs it will no longer pay to support the Yeezy business. When Kanye left Nike for Adidas in November 2013, he criticized Nike – and then-CEO Mark Parker – for not paying him royalties on sold shoes.




"Nike told me, 'We can't give you royalties because you're not a professional athlete,'" West said in 2013.

Ohlmeyer was also asked if Adidas planned to destroy existing merchandise or release it at a later date.

"We need to take our time to review what the best options are," Ohlmeyer said. "When the time is right we will be more concrete."

636. "They are still going to have to pay him."
In response to Reply # 627


          

That would be patent infringement and go against the conditions of the contract.

Yes they can stop doing business with hm based on moral stipulations, but
they can’t just steal and use his designs that he owns and have patents on.

They are going to have to pay him now or get successfully sued

Yeah, life is a balance
You lose your grip, you can slip into an abyss
No doubt you see these niggas trippin'
Ego in charge of every move, he's a star
And we can't look away
Due to the days that he caught our hearts
He's falling apart, but we deny it
Justifying that half-ass shit he dropped, we always buy it
When he tell us he a genius but it's clearer lately
It's been hard for him to look into the mirror lately
There was a time when this nigga was my hero, maybe
That's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take
'Cause I believed him when he said his shit was purer and he
The type of nigga swear he real but all around him's fake
The women, the dickriders, you know, the yes men
Nobody with the balls to say somethin' to contest him
So he grows out of control
Into the person that he truly was all along, it's startin' to show
Damn, wonder what happened
Maybe it's my fault for idolizing niggas
Based off the words they be rappin'
But come to find out, these niggas don't even write they shit
Hear some new style bubblin' up, then they bite the shit
Damn, that's what I get for lyin' to myself
Well, fuck it, what's more important is he's cryin' out for help
While the world's eggin' him on, I'm beggin' him to stop
And playin' his old shit, knowin' he won't top it, false prophets

I mean, it fits like a glove, but I thought it was generic bars.

Nas just shouted out Search owning his publishing on Kings Disease 3.

back when we were trying to get on we had a guy who wanted to be our manager. My boy was like “and you are the right person for the gig too, wink wink”

I had no idea wtf that meant at the time so I asked..

dude was like “I’m jewish.. you know the industry has a lot of jewish people in management positions”

like dave said.. its a lot of them but I guess its crazy to say it out loud.

anyway.. found this, not sure what to believe but maybe Serch didn’t take advantage of him like most would
