PrintableKanye is full of it. I don't know if it's his mom dying or being married to Kim K, or what, but Kanye has sure lost his way. Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above | |

He basically raps/talks about his bad behavior or whtaever nonsense he is going through to crap music now as if thats 'genius" or art. Everything past MBDTF 2010 has been laughable imho. "Climb in my fur." | |

Some people are easily bamboozled and Kanye knows this and takes every advantage of it. | |

He did an interview with NYTimes that was pretty interesting.
Do you feel there is an expectation of you — because you’re a successful black man in this country — to take on certain political or cultural positions? Oh yeah, definitely. When I was in high school, most of my opinions were, like, only me and a couple people who thought like me.
Nah. It’s a rhetorical dumbass question — you could just say yes — but do you think there are a lot of husband-and-wife situations where the husband in the household liked Trump and voted on Trump and maybe the wife didn’t, or vice versa? Of course. Man, I had my [expletive] [expletive] castrated: “You have to like Hillary. That’s got to be your choice.”
The family meaning the world — because you’re black, because you make very sensitive music, because you’re a very sensitive soul, it was like an arranged marriage or something. And I’m like, that’s not who I want to marry. I don’t feel that. I believe that I’m actually a better father because I got my [expletive] voice back, I’m a better artist because I got my voice back. I was living inside of some universe that was created by the mob-thought, and I had lost who I was, so that’s when I was in the sunken place. You look in my eyes right now — you see no sunken place.
Getting out, learning how to not be highly medicated and, you know, just standing up saying I know I could lose a lot of things, but just standing up and saying what you feel, and not even doing a lot of research on it. Having a political opinion that’s overly informed, it’s like knowing how to dress, as opposed to being a child — “I like this.” I hear Trump talk and I’m like, I like the way it sounds, knowing that there’s people who like me that don’t like the way it sounds.
No, I don’t agree with all of his policies. Ordinarily, public figures see microphones as natural enemies, designed to undo them. But this is not how Kanye treats them. He speaks in long, jagged discursions, moving fluidly between subjects — saying he wished Bernie Sanders could have been Trump’s vice president one moment, lamenting the awkwardness of a lyric about Tristan Thompson (the father of Khloé Kardashian’s daughter) the next. He is in a constant state of self-revision. More than any other famous person of his stature, he shares his rough drafts.
To Kanye’s mind, what happened on TMZ was a failure of language, not ideas. “I said the idea of sitting in something for 400 years sounds — sounds — like a choice to me, I never said it’s a choice. I never said slavery itself — like being shackled in chains — was a choice,” he said. “That’s why I went from slave to 400 years to mental prison to this and that. If you look at the clip you see the way my mind works.” He continued, delineating the path of many a Kanye West public conflagration. “I think an extreme thing; I adjust it, I adjust it, I adjust it,” he explained. “That’s the way I get to it, but I have to push to, you know, the furthest concept possible.” The TMZ appearance essentially squandered all of the public good will Kanye had accumulated earlier in the day — except in the view of Kanye, who naturally saw the two media appearances as part of the same continuum.
And the TMZ one? And the TMZ one was the [expletive], the casket like [makes opening motion and screams] and the people in church is like [mimes shock and horror and shrieks] “slave?!” Ahhh! Ahhh! How does it make you feel when you know an experiment didn’t work? Awesome. I learned so much. I learned about the context of the idea of the word slave. I didn’t take it in that context. I think that my personality and energy mirrors Nat Turner, or it had in the past, but that showed me that also that Nat Turner approach would land me in the same place Nat Turner landed, and that I would be legendary but also just a martyr. But I guess we’re all martyrs eventually, and we’re all guaranteed to die. To clarify, do you believe that slavery in this country was a choice? Well, I never said that. If you could say it again how would you frame it? I wouldn’t frame a one-liner or a headline. What I would say is actually it’s literally like I feel like I’m in court having to justify a robbery that I didn’t actually commit, where I’m having to somehow reframe something that I never said. I feel stupid to have to say out loud that I know that being put on the boat was — but also I’m not backing down, bro. What I will do is I’ll take responsibility for the fact that I allowed my voice to be used back to back in ways that were not protective of it when my voice means too much. Back to back? Wearing the [Trump] hat, because my voice is unprotected, and I believe that the black community wants to protect my voice. By me saying slave in any way at TMZ left my voice unprotected. So it’s not a matter of the facts of if I said that exact line or not, it’s the fact that I put myself in a position to be unprotected by my tribe.
It’s not going to happen.
Like I said, wouldn’t leave. Like yes, got a bunch of different opinions. You’re not always going to agree, but they’re not going to leave.
Perhaps it is not surprising to learn that eight days before its release, Kanye said, he’d had none of the lyrics of “Ye” written. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/arts/music/kanye-west-ye-interview.html [Edited 6/25/18 7:47am] | |

I stand corrected. With the exception of Pusha, the G.O.O.D. music rollout was complete garbage. I didn't like any of them. Nas was probably the biggest disappointment of them all. | |

What kind of hip hop do you like? This was the most non-commercial, non chart topping material he has put out in years. All of the albums have been getting great reviews actaully. Straight Jacket Funk Affair

He is just misunderstood. First of all, I consider Kanye the most overrated artist of the 21st Century. People talk about him as if he was on the same musical level as James Brown or Prince or Stevie Wonder or Brian Wilson or Paul McCartney, and he's not even in the same ballpark. Second, people (including Kanye himself) talk about his "bravery " and "self confidence " when in his case his bluster and contradictions were not signs of possible mental illness and issues (which I suspected for years), but is often a taboo subject in minority communities. Even his admiration for Trump might be mainly a kinship with another loudmouth who has no use for logic and reason. #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

Thanks for your support! I don't drop names to brag or boast. I use my own personal experiences in a POSITIVE way, with individuals to spread THE TRUTH of how someone really is as a person. I believe certain people are put in your life for a reason no matter who they are famous or not. Certain people are destined to be superstars,confidante,bedmates,lovers,co-workers or just friends. It's up to the individual what they chose do with that unique experience or propositions.
