My take was my lived experience my friend lmfao
Your lived experience is mid at best
It's not that he's 'uncancellable'
it's that cancel culture doesn't work the way it used to
He also hasn't done anything SA/predatory-ish to anyone so people will just let him cook for a couple months and then go back to liking him.
If he did some Kelly/Epstein s*** his career would be a wrap

cancel culture has never worked on ye
they been trying since he ran up on that little white girl at the award show
pree much nailed it on the head, and i think kanye realized this durin this album release
Why do you think he finally realized this?
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.
Sad truth

As much as they try to 'cancel' him i think most people, conciously or not, understand that hes always been unstable and that its sort of unfair to say he 'praised hitler'... like dude was going through and has always been crazy, most ppl ive talked to irl seem to understand he didnt say the hitler stuff for any political reasons. that instability, for better or for worse, has always been an inextricable part of his appeal. to answer your question, yes.
