I watched it via Hasan, who got a temporary copyright ban for livestreaming it.

You might still be able to find it via Hasan's channels.

This whole thing might be a trick to identify and arrest antisemites. Everyone who shows support for kanye on twitter might get arrested. They did a good job at making twitter seem more user friendly. With musk allegedly buying it.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy obviously. Graduation has some great songs but a lot of water as well.

Kanye - How to throw away your entire career, wealth and social status 101

He's so tired of being a MK-ultra puppet, tired and burned up that has nothing to lose.

Outside of his current shenanigans one thing that's really rubbed me the wrong way over the years is how little respect Kanye has for his audience.

The whole release cycle for the Donda album is a prime example. Endless announcements and changes to release dates, livestreams where literally nothing happened for hours, tickets for huge stadium events where he'd play tracks without performing, not bothering to give the album any artwork, selling both the main album and "Donda 2" (which turned out to be unfinished) in the form of an over-priced "stem-player". The guy does not give a single crap about how much of his fans time and money he wastes.

[Thought Art]

@eggopm3 Kanye only loves Kanye

[Roy]

He needs to go back to hanging out with Jay-Z more. Dude became a billionaire and married the finest pussy on Earth (Beyonce), yet you don't see him going clinically insane and unhinged despite his accomplishments.

Kanye will be in a padded room soon lmao.

[Thought Art]

@Roy yeah, not a matter of who you hang with at this point . He needs to go somewhere quiet and relax. I just fear he’ll end up homeless.

You think so? I'm sure if he had the right people in his life they'd tell him to stop going on talk shows and saying he loves the Nazis lol.

That's what friends are for after all.

@Roy Yeah well, realistically Kanye is destroying everything he touches. I haven't met a friend who would stick around through something like that. He's dangerous to be around.

One of his cousins should convert to Judaism, that would fix the issue,

All jokes aside, it's actually weird to see this side of Kanye. He used to be muuch more down to earth. I find it sad that he got lost in these far right ideologies. I think this is a great example of what Leo was talking about in his video on the trap of a toxic life purpose.

Im not seeing anything wrong with what he said? Does rap culture discriminate against gay people?

   Yes, rap culture did for a time, in the 70's and 80's. Although today mostly in the surface rappers tone it down and some rappers talk nice about gay people, there's a deeper layer of covert homophobia not just in rap culture but even in hip hop culture. For example, forgot the name of tbe black rapper that twerked on the devil in one of his songs, but he's open about his homosexuality, and most rappers were quick to shot him down with hate and demonising language.

why you guys always want to put nazi in camps.

really makes me cringe when I hear all those people who want to murda for free

[Oeaohoo]

I haven't watched any of Kanye's interviews, except for a few clips were he comes across as extremely incoherent, but I like his new song! Nice Donny Hathaway sample. "Everyone's a Karen / Claimin' that they care"... "I forgot what fear is / Other than the fear of the almighty Yashua / Who knew you before you knew who you was"! My favourite line is: "You knew I follow God, so you should follow me". This is exactly how a hierarchy (which etymologically means "sacred ruler") is supposed to be: a leader who follows God and people who follow their leader! Then, everyone is following God...

It confirms what I wrote about Kanye the other day, which I refrained from posting here: I could be wrong but my suspicion is that Kanye doesn’t really care about the actual content of what he is saying. All he cares about is exercising his notion of “freedom”, which is “my right to do whatever the hell I want whenever the hell I want to”. This childish sense of “freedom” is inhibited by anything which “they say you’re not supposed to do”. Since 1945, the ultimate thing that you are not supposed to do is everything that Kanye has recently been doing. He is essentially stuck in a vicious circle of taboo-breaking in the name of “freedom”…

It is really a positive development for you progressives. Very few people will be convinced by any of what Kanye is saying because he is obviously unhinged. This bolsters the association in the common mind between conspiratorial thinking and mental illness. Not only that, but many on the Right will follow Kanye off the cliff of his own personal melodrama. This debacle can also be used to smear Trump and even Musk’s takeover of Twitter!

@Thought Art Lmao thats my favorite album, cant believe such talent can spew this bs kind of sad when you really think about it

[eggopm3]

Interesting how "he made Graduation" has become the meme, when MBDTF was his most widely praised record. Maybe it's going down in people's opinion over time because it was the beginning of the end in terms of him starting to lose it. (or maybe it's just got too long of a title to fit the meme)

[Oeaohoo]

I wonder how much of this comes from our stupid obsession with the individual artist as “genius”. The general conception of the “artist” today owes a lot to Romantic poets like Shelley and Byron, who narcissistically stood aloof from humanity whilst plunging the depths of their individual subjectivity and regurgitating it for the rest of the world to digest. This stands in stark opposition to the great artists of the traditional past - for example, those who built and painted the Churches and Cathedrals of Christendom - who generally remained anonymous. This was an ideal of objectivity (I use this word not to refer to the idea of an “objective” material world but in a more or less Platonic sense) which allowed the artist to transcend their petty human nature. Now, however, our culture is obsessed with this petty human nature and actively denies everything beyond it. When you take this to its conclusion, you get millions of people poring over every word that is impulsively summoned up from the psychological puddle-depths of the supposed “geniuses” of our time like Kanye.

Who cares what Kanye has to say about political issues? It’s not his area of expertise or what, as a “celebrity”, he is celebrated for. One of the main absurdities of democracy is the idea that we have to take every drooling morons “opinion” into account on every damned issue.
