like it could have been ANY other artist

but it had to be the one with the greatest discography ever

the one with the most influence ever

the one we love the most

because if it were any other artist people wouldn't put up with it

If it can happen to MJ it can happen to ‘Ye…

you don't make generational classics one after another without being f***ing insane

it most certainly could NOT have been any other artist lol. only ye capable of this type of explosion.

This tbh. He’s actually built different

Hubris and untreated mental illness

No other fanbase would’ve excused someone saying that slavery was a choice, but somehow making good music means you’re educated on political and socioeconomic matters enough to make commentary on them

Beatles, MJ, Bowie (had his moments though), Prince, Beyonce

MJ's was pretty tame compared to Ye. I mean he had the kids scandal and the bleach skin but he wasn't harming anyone with his antics or words

The first 3 artists/groups you mentioned absolutely had insane ppl

Bowie: Christ, everything is a media manipulation. I’d love to enter politics. I will one day. I’d adore to be Prime Minister. And, yes, I believe very strongly in fascism. The only way we can speed up the sort of liberalism that’s hanging foul in the air at the moment is to speed up the progress of a right-wing, totally dictatorial tyranny and get it over as fast as possible. People have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership. A liberal wastes time saying, “Well, now, what ideas have you got?” Show them what to do, for God’s sake. If you don’t, nothing will get done. I can’t stand people just hanging about. Television is the most successful fascist, needless to say. Rock stars are fascists, too. Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars.

Bowie I know, Beatles were living in an era where you can be batshit crazy and your antics would be forgotten. no social media back then and information just didn't spread like that. MJ had his kid balcony moment and the biggest kids scandal but he wasn't only acquitted but many ppl didn't even believe he did it

Turned out to be edited

idk man

FR?

I never knew this. Link?

his fans gassed him up for years believing he was a genius

That’s how

accelerationisn is insane

He is

In regards to music & fashion

Politics? Not so much…

same thing with Elon

I think i'm of the mindset that people have genius moments and some have more than others but no-one should be labeled a genius per se

Genius never meant you are the best at everything

very true

He is a guy who is very gifted at selling his ideas & himself but labeling him as a genius of our generation was always a mistake

It's been a s*** show ever since he got with a Kardashian.

Aside from the "Yeezus" era where he was still somewhat himself, s***'s been going downhill for a minute.

I'd say probably since 2016.

I'll forever be grateful for the music he dropped prior to "TLOP".

S***'s the soundtrack to my life & has helped me get through s*** early on, but this man now?

He's broken, point, blank & simple.
