like yeah his last project did well streaming wise (which is not that meaningful) but theres so many people who just dont really care about what hes doing anymore because hes been disregarded as an unserious loon and that shouldnt be the case with kanye west

Feb 12·12 repliesYou have to do some R-Kelly/Weinstein level stuff to be truly cancelled, and even then, some people still listen to R-Kelly songs and I bet a lot of people still watch the movies Weinstein oversaw.
That being said, Kanye's controversies have clearly damaged his career.
07-09 was his peak mainstream popularity, and he permanently damaged that by interrupting Taylor Swift. Musically, he's never been that relevant since. It doesn't help that soon after, Drake blew up. One of Kanye's sons basically came in and has enjoyed the level of popularity Kanye definitely wants for himself.
And ever since 2016, his controversies have massively overshadowed any music he put out. Ye stans can big up KSG or Donda all they like, but with the casuals, he hasn't had any truly iconic songs since the Yeezus era, "FourFiveSeconds" possibly being the exception.
Currently, Kanye is basically like Post Allegation/Pre-Death Michael Jackson. For the casuals, dude is either a punchline, someone people want to see go away, or someone people look at and wish he was a good as he used to be.

I think people tend to overinflate TLOP's quality and hype, but in any event, I was talking about the music in particular.
Because while Kanye's overall brand may have been at peak popularity with TLOP, the music definitely was not.
There are no songs on TLOP as iconic as "Stronger", "Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Good Life", "Heartless" or his guest verses on "Put On" or "Run This Town".

Usually people say this about artists that actually did something that people think they should be "cancelled" for
If Taylor started spewing alt-right s***, her fans would leave her in a millisecond lol
