    No one is playing FSMH at a party in 2024 lmfao

    I’m not saying I wouldn’t like to hear it but it’s just not happening.

    Cap, don't quote me again

  • Kendrick said a slur multiple times on that song, directly called out cancel culture, questioned whether R Kelly is a victim and nobody cared

    Nobody really cares about this Twitter outrage s***

  • Idk about impossible to cancel, but it’s undeniable the 2022 meltdown definitely damaged his career long term. A lot of other artists won’t even clear samples for him anymore because of it.

    Oh my bad

    "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."

    I love how some of y'all are capping so hard, TLOP had multiple iconic songs especially FSMH lmao

    What songs other than FSMH was iconic? You can say the Famous video, Real Friends/NMPILA but they're all stretches

  • Jaman

    u b hatin od on ye stop it he a legend

    I don’t hate on ye his fans just be lying lmao.

    He a legend forever

  • A whole lot of copium in this thread

    You can’t cancel Ye, sorry

  • Drake... maybe

  • Far from it.

    Look at Morgan Wallen and Doja Cat.

    Immune to controversy is definitely not true. He lost his deal with adidas, was temporarily banned on socials amongst other things. When the music is good though people will bump it when you have an established fanbase though but it’s really despite his actions rather than not being cancelled

  • RXK Nephew fasho though

    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.

    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 go roller skating with my fiancé often and they jam r kelly there everytime we go and not a single person seemingly has a problem with it. everyone singing and doing roller skating dances lol

    yeah cause all that internet outrage and virtue signaling doesn’t exist irl

    i don’t know how many times ive broken down to dumbasses that try to conflate an artist with their art that niggas do not care about that s*** man

  • Also, let's not act as if Eminem didn't get "cancelled" a million times.

    Man's got banned from several countries when MMLP dropped, had "Just Lose It" banned on BET because of the MJ diss, got in trouble for rape/horrorcore/homophobic bars, pissed off Trump supporters with the Trump diss, got "cancelled" by Gen Z on Twitter, etc.

    I guess the lesson here is that when you're as huge as Em and Ye, it's hard to get legitimately cancelled musically.

    That said, the fact that Ye got dropped from deals and lost some of his net worth shows that he actually did get "cancelled" to a degree.

  • Let's be honest only way Kanye is ever getting cancelled is if he grapes someone or engages in CP

    Then I'll officially delete all his music

  • R Kelly got 4.6 million monthly on Spotify lmao

  • Because nobody irl gives af
    It’s all internet social justice warriors

    Iconic to you and me but it didn’t have a big mainstream cultural impact. When I play it people go “oh I think I know this one” instead of like stronger where it’s like literally everybody still hears that song being played at weddings, birthday parties, ice skating rinks, commercials, trailers, etc.

    You’re saying this like Graduation wasn’t his commercial peak? Why are you holding every album to that standard?

    This ain’t true at all man, can’t count how many times I heard that song at events last year

    Saying Kanye hasn’t been relevant musically since 2009 is completely ignoring one of the most relevant musicians of the 2010s decade, that’s actually an insane opinion

    The better argument is that he hasn’t been that relevant musically since 2018, but even Donda hurts that theory

    What a goofy response.

    I said 'Ye hasn't been as musically relevant as he was in '07-'09. I never said his music wasn't relevant at all after that point.

    You want to talk about insane opinions, while responding to things no one actually said.

    People wish they had more power than they actually do

  • Impossible to cancel but incredibly easy to make self destruct, just say you f***ed his wife and he’ll have a panic attack

    are you kidding ? that TLOP event was the biggest talking point of the year in music besides blonde

    Sounds like you're kidding if you think TLOP or Blonde were bigger 2016 music talking points than Lemonade.

    I feel like TLOP was bigger than your implying
