The only reason why he feels like he can do everything that he does is because he knows you're still gonna listen to his music no matter what

He knows you're going to deal with it no matter what he does, and you'll defend him

Even if he's being anti-semitic, or he's meeting with racist republicans, or meeting with Trump in 2018, or he's wearing confederate flags, or he's saying slavery was a choice

He only feels like he can do that because he knows you're gonna be his fan because of how much you still listen to his music

He is weaponizing everything that he's built against you, and this goes for his shoes too

TLDR, just read it

If it was any other artist that didn't have the discography, you would've cancelled and forgot about them by now

I don’t fully agree with the point in general but this is undeniable.

Yes the hypocrisy is very obvious. There's a double standard Ye gets here that's not present with anyone else

I can't lie, he was my absolute f***ing idol for many years of my life, and his ever expanding stupidity really made it easy to not care about ever listening to his s*** again

"I can say what I want, they're gonna listen to me anyway"

my minds telling me no

but my body

my body is telling me yessssssss (listen to the music not support his views)

In your perspective has he even said anything wrong?

Listening to MBDTF btw

for the record, i'm not disagreeing with OP, it just goes way beyond music. it's egomania at its highest. he was bragging that he couldn't get dropped from adidas no matter how much f***ed up s*** he said. and adidas couldn't give a f*** about his music.

I'm listening to Yeezus right now and have zero interest in anything he's doing politically right now. Unless immense dislike counts as interest. You can listen to a person's music without really caring about whatever else they get up to

The part that I disagree with is that I had an immense amount of respect for him to the point that after the MAGA hat I couldn't cosign anything

But I also listen to XXXTENTACION, and he had his fair share of problems

If yall are ready for the discussion then we can talk about it but if not then we can keep quiet

But why does having respect for him at some point in the past mean that you can't just listen to his music without having respect for him now?

Yes more than thousands of human beings prolly will in their lifetime

Because he is using it against you. He knows what he's doing. He's too smart for that

Imagine Frank turning against you, imagine Drake turning against you, if he's knows you're gonna listen anyway he's not gonna care

The "George Bush doesn't care about black people" is the exact inverse of what he's doing now, he's making the other side mad now

You will still listen, and that's why you defend him

But listening to his music without caring or giving a s*** about the stuff he’s doing right now isn’t really him using it against us? His twitter is having less and less replies and retweets every time. He is clearly not being thought about as a person anymore

He's a narcissist. His whole thought process is to do what he wants

And he knows his discography will speak for itself

That will always be respected

So he's seeing what he can get away with

Some people are simply still defending him because they themselves probably hate Jews or were trump supporters from the start too Lol. To them Ye is on his s*** rn. But they weren’t converted them from Kanye’s side trust me. Most people already have their ideas formed from their parents.

The weapons formed against me are prospering I’m afraid

Dark fantasy is hitting too hard rn

If his music was trash, you wouldn't care, he'd be R Kelly

I’m bored of the music at this point
