GoshUsing a gimmick to hate on a dead teenager has to be a mental illness
If Troy Ave has zero fans left, then you’ll know Troy Ave Stan has died 😢

SkydwellerGrowing up in NY in this era was pretty nuts. I knew a bunch of people who got sucked into Steez’s ideas and got the logo tatted
esoteric s*** was a lot bigger back then people would get sucked into weird rabbit hole

RICHAXXVOYCECompare this or even Westside Gunn’s previous gimmick to Kanye. What Ye’s doing is actual Nazi phase s***
pro era and steez was more about the original meaning of the symbols that were stolen and also playing into things like chakras. kanye is unfortunately suffering from a worsening mental condition

This thread means f*** all man. I was just literally shocked when I saw a YouTube thumbnail on a Steez song. Idk how I missed this
May 21, 2025·2 repliesLil Uzi HorizontalYeah WSG a grown ass man too and also has a series of tapes with Hitlers name on em.

whippet volverse@2words to be fair, he was a 19 yr old when he passed that seemed to be mentally ill, he obviously wasn't gonna give us the keys to life at that age, he was still a long way from figuring out who He was as an individual.
Underrated perspective. I was 20 at the time and super invested in Steez’s mind. Reflecting in my 30s I think he had a lot of wisdom and was obviously very gifted as an artist. But simultaneously it’s more blatant how much was fueled by the mental illness
May 21, 2025steez thought he was doing something even if ignorant but was still only 19 at his latest
kanye is like 40s by the time he becomes completely ignorant and starts doing that s***, but his intentions are like actually hateful and meant to actually bully and attack lol
- May 21, 2025
side note but one relief of bully coming out unfinished (and not really coming out at all, therefore devoid of 99% of reach & impact) is that it, as a concept, couldn't be used by him in the future to try doing damage control for this era once he runs out of all money by saying he was doing some kaufman / thin white duke bs lol

makes sense
May 21, 2025Is there any doc or YouTube vid that summarizes Steez well? Just learning about him from the beef and seems super interesting.

Water GiverThe explanation and it being different enough is actually solid imo, and was during the time of Kanye's half assed "take back the Confederate flag" era of Yeezus I assume it was playing off of.
Also what they said about the actual symbol is correct, it was stolen, and was meant to symbolize peace. It is one of like 30 designs of similar symbols that you find all over India and Japan, especially in their temples. Including the one Hitler took and, uh, repurposed.
It is cringe but I can see the line of thinking especially since they were all literal teenagers and thinking they were doing sumn very profound and important.
It's just fake deep teenage stuff that has good intentions but naive/sloppy/inexperienced execution. I thot thread was gonna have Nazi lyrics and him with Nazi memorabilia.

47 logo controversy
The "47" symbol associated with Pro EraThe design of one of Pro Era's logos is the number 47 with its digits joined.
It has sparked controversy due to its similarity to the Nazi flag. Like the Nazi flag, the logo has a red field with a solid white circle and a black insignia. Instead of a swastika, the circular white field of the sticker contains the 47 symbol, which bears close resemblance to the swastika and to a wolfsangel, both of which are associated with Nazism and Neo-Nazism. Stickers of the logo and graffiti of the symbol appeared in numerous locations around Edward R. Murrow High School and the Brooklyn neighborhood of Midwood (where the school is located) in March 2014, being planted by members of Pro Era to honor the memory of the late Capital STEEZ.
According to local news station News 12 Brooklyn, the group has explained that the logo was designed the way it was to draw attention, and that the symbol resembles peace, love and balance, as with the swastika's significance in various religions. They say that it is supposed to be a spiritual symbol and not an offensive one. Capital STEEZ believed that the logo's resemblance of a swastika is a commentary on the appropriation of what was originally a peaceful & spiritual symbol with roots in Eastern religions. STEEZ chose the number 47 due to the 7 chakra points, 4 being the point for the heart and 7 being the brain.
This s*** reeks like 4chan
