People love TLOP more than Yeezus tbf

Wasn’t Bowie off the s***s I could of sworn I read somewhere during his last album that he had some regrets … Kanye the type to not have regrets dudes been an ass his whole life his music speaks for itself. But once the dust settles he will unfortunately be remembered as the Uncle Tom type of guy who went crazy on social media unfortunately

• a lot of people dont know about bowies comments because they were too long ago and hes too dead for it to be a story in todays age
• he’s a dad rock artist that younger generations just dont care about as much as kanye
• hes white

i think people itt are seriously underestimating how damaging this is for ye’s legacy, cause i see a lot of users saying no one will care about this once he dies because thats what happened with bowie. but the circumstances, timing and listener demographics are completely different.

cancel ur rapist uncle first

Bowie said some wild s*** when he was on coke in the mid 70s and spent the next several decades by all accounts being a decent guy

Ye has been actively trying to turn society against him for the better part of a decade now and only keeps doubling down

I would be shocked if Ye was remembered as warmly as Bowie was upon his passing. He’s always been divisive but this s*** is bad

I mean this is the same dude who rightfully criticized MTV for not playing enough black music so I think he def smartened up and stopped being a piece of s***

Kanye’s had every chance to turn it around and has refused to. If he made a sincere apology and took some time off, then I think we could maybe look at 2016 - 2022 as his own thin white duke period but i don’t think that’s happening lol

Read the Station to Station wiki page sometime, he totally lost his mind for a bit. Thought the Rolling Stones were trying to kill him and witches were bottling his semen lmfaooooooo

Idk man im not gonna psychoanalyse this s*** to death anymore. Its f*** him for me

I hate pedo rockstars

Eric Clapton still had a career.

he's no chimp1 but yeah

Bowie retracted these comments, made during one of the wildest coke-induced periods of his life. he didn't remember how entire albums were made he was so f***ed up

but yeah rock stars and being obsessed with fascist paraphernalia kinda used to go hand in hand. dont google Lemmy's photos with Hawkwind, some of those are crazy

on that note, what the f*** girl..

Social media era is completely different

Turns out there very few consequences for a white guy in the 70s

Bowie was not on his f*** s*** for THIS long
Also Bowie wasn’t almost 50 at the time

I'm a big fan of the blues and Clapton's ability to remain at the top is insane even after that drunken rant about keeping immigrants up

S*** even sparked an anti racist festival

He had a massive hit covering Bob Marley's song

Wrote a song about falling in love with George Harrison's wife based on a Persian love poem

He basically built his career off black music (the blues)

But legends like BB King, Buddy Guy, Howlin Wolf still stuck by him

best case scenario he’ll be remembered as an insanely talented visionary and a cautionary tale for the effects of poor mental health and stardom

like pretty much every great ‘tortured’ creative throughout history. that’s his legacy unfortunately

Plus social media wasn't around when he said that

Why are people being obtuse

The big difference is that Kanye wants people to hate him. He goes out of his way to bring in “cancelled” people into his circle and has spent two months doing a media tour about Jewish people lol
