remembering how thousands of people petitioned for him to NOT perform at glastonbury and the pan am games, and it got me wondering why there was so much hate towards him during that time period

since this was before all the trump stuff, saint pablo cancellations, slavery comments, presidential announcement, etc

was it just the cacs who were still mad over him interrupting taylor? calling himself a god? jimmy kimmel beef? i genuinely forget

All of the above

And it was pretty much just racist whites that didnt want to see him perform at Glastonbury

he was loud n annoying/controversial at times. not even 1/100th as bad as now tho

plus it was the early 2010s which was the prime years for lame, pseudo-intellectual hating ass niggas who think they're smarter than everyone for disliking kanye, drake, reality tv, etc

victim of propaganda

They see a black man with a white woman
At the top floor they gone come to kill King Kong

99% of headliners have been rock/pop, they didn't like the rapper headliner. same thing was with jay-z. noel gallagher said it was wrong to put jay there and then jay did this youtube.com/watch?v=I2UFyOmGpV8

He's an a******

pan am is because they wanted a Canadian act

Glastonbury is because they wanted a rock act, they did the same to hov when he headlined in 08

everyone else was probably repulsed by his public image or couldn't get over the 09 vmae

rock fans can be very dismissive of Hip Hop aka it's not real music bla bla they're just talking over samples. They're not even playing real instruments and so on. I wouldn't take racism out of the equation either. + everything mentioned in here.

this is hilarious jay z did em

all that plus everyone hated kim kardashian so when he married with her they hated both even more. You can see this based off the dislikes on the video for bound 2

they don't like an outspoken black man !! painted his confidence as arrogance

before 2016

they been hating since 05

i know i was just wondering about the 2013-2015 time period specifically since it seems like that was his peak of being "well received" by the general public and him not saying/doing anything too wild, compared to the years before and after

yeah i forgot about the bound 2 video reception

i always perceived that music video as a satire of classic american film, how it had the landscape backgrounds on green screen, ye on a motorcycle doing funny poses, bad b**** with big titties on the front, and her hair blowing in the wind

whereas most people just took it at face value and made fun of it like "look at how bad and low budget this video is!" when kanye did it that way on purpose

this is hilarious

I thought with Glastonbury, it was just a bunch of people who wanted to see another rockband and not a rapper.

How Kanye flamed their asses with Queen cover

thats 100% what it was clearly trying to be cheesy on purpose. People just now starting to catch on that it was a great song and dope video its wild

what queen cover did he do?

Bohemian Rhapsody

Comments here are the purest cringe, and also like/dislike ratio

they couldn’t see the vision
