Is it actually cancel or more his music just became incredibly stale
A mix of both but stale thing happened with Lil Baby too.
How is it "doing numbers"?
Do we have any predictions for sales?

Ktse for Ariana Grande
she’s about to be in wicked and ppl are actually looking forward to it. no she’s not 😭
I think Professor Griff is the only person in hip-hop who ever really got in trouble for being antisemitic.

That's why I'm saying keep the same energy for Ariana. Ironic how the movie name is "Wicked"
hes also clearly not reaching the amount of people he should be and anyone whos not a stan can see it
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
pree much nailed it on the head, and i think kanye realized this durin this album release
Tyler had entire countries banning him & gets canceled on Tiktok like twice a year
Who
You 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.

TLOP he was at his biggest, the kardashians helped boost his popularity and he was generally beloved by the public

Pre-Sacramento yeah

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".
Taylor
Beyonce
Adele
Kanye might be the only male one. i think if you have a really strong fanbase, its almost impossible.

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
