Many of you, especially the sincerest Kanye aficionados of this section from back in the KanyeLive days, will remember okstatetw. He was the reason I became a Kanye fan to begin with, and the reason I signed up for my own KanyeLive account back in 2009, before we all migrated here together in 2010 and the site became the hotspot that it was. Although I eventually became the hotheaded moderator of the Lupe section on this forum in its heyday, okstatetw and I were both immensely active in this section until 2014, when he and I ventured away to attempt our own Rap Chronicle digital magazine. We succeeded for a while, but eventually, personal issues of health and financing derailed our joint effort. We are still close friends to this day, however; I'm now halfway through journalism school, studying consumer advocacy, and okstatetw has finished college, working as a successful recruiter for an employment company less than an hour away from my university. Even as young adults in our mid-twenties, we follow Kanye's career with the same enthusiasm as we did a decade ago, and okstatetw wanted me to share this message he had primed up for this forum tonight.

The truth is not in the words it’s in my eyes

Nah, he decided to pack it up since the site's toxic.

Him, Keyan, & I went on to make the other site that ended up being hacked.

Hope he's doing well. He was super chill.

is this real or copypasta

wait

you were one of the yzt creators?

you can have a job and post itt at the same time

Damn, I’m curious if he would’ve liked it on ktt2

Wouldn't say "creator", but I helped out a f*** ton on that site.

What's the lore behind Kanye internet forums

keyan from yeezy talk once tried to start business negotiations with me to get me to post exclusively on the yeezy talk forums

Beat me by a second

I tried promoting it on KTT like "Hey we got another site if you guys wanna check it out" Then got perma'd on some savage s***.

Wasn't even trying to derail KTT. Just thought it was cool to have two forums everyone can enjoy.

okstate had all the stickied threads in the kanye sxn and changed every title and post to be an advert for yeezy talk and got permad

I remember him hyping up "Can U Be/Waves" from the TLOP era.

Like "OMG, this clockwork orange sample is my favorite Kanye sample ever"

I tried looking for him on Twitter, but I think the account's closed.

i was high in demand

gonna be in a yt documentary one day

well... what would it take?

"This kid is like the Joker in The Dark Knight," Behruz said of Xavier. "He does what he wants without rhyme or reason."

Behruz doesn't have any bitcoin — he funds Yeezy Talk with the money he makes as a private tennis instructor — so instead he just reasoned with Xavier.
