It really is
I wasnāt basing my comparison on their most recent output, itās something Iāve thought for a few years. I havenāt paid much attention to kanyes latest stuff and I just assumed it was kanye being kanye. If heās not well, then I agree, itās best not to compare the two.
im hopping of the train for this round of the kanye hype cycle. will see yall again once the album drops.
just realised that thereās another month of this stillā¦
absolutely canāt fucking believe the reality weāre in in which a legend like Elliott Wilson is posting a segment from TM fucking Z in which they speak very articulate and impassioned sense to Kanye West to try to awaken him to his own antics.
TMZ!!
The weirdest timeline.
tried to watch that 1hr 45 minute interview but, surprisingly, got a bit bored. Jumped along the timeline a bit and this was the first moment I landed on which I think probably sums it all up quite well
Hi, I only get called by @ admins for what itās worth.
Anyway, I banned Fatty, sorry.
Not sure what would confuse people more at this point, if the album turns out to be good or if it turns out to be terrible.
I doubt Iāll be listening either way at this point
Yeah, sameā¦
If heās just doing it to deliberately court controversy and drum up publicity and we all go out and listen to it then that probably makes the whole strategy a āsuccessā in his mind.
Of course, if heās not and he genuinely believes what heās saying, then listening to it means heāll think people agree with him (āI was right!ā) and if people donāt listen to it then his whole paranoiac āTheyāre trying to stop my being a free thinkerā thing is endorsed in his mindā¦
Heās just saying things with no thought behind them, as that man pointed out in that TMZ clip. I actually canāt tell if itās a strategy to gain attention or if heās not well. A lot of his twitter ramblings do mention heās just putting things out there when he says stuff and we should all do the same, maybe thatās his idea of a disclaimer? I dunno.
Iām interested to see how this all pans out for him, if itāll affect record/ticket sales or any endorsement deals he gets, it could well be negligible by the time the album comes out. I imagine all media outlets are clamouring to get an interview with him in the hope heāll say something controversial.
All feels a bit weird. Donāt know whoās playing who.
I was surprised to hear him say heās had liposuction and plastic surgery, especially after what happened to his mumā¦ Up until recently the guy has always seemed to be in pretty good shape physically, which makes the decision a bit strange to me
Thereās plenty of medication that makes you gain weight.
He seems totally oblivious to the fact heās being an idiot in that video, as Theo pointed out in the other thread he seems āearnest and humbleā while spouting all that rubbish. Which either means heās an incredibly good method actor or just nuts. Yet at the same time, why keep everything bottled up to unleash it just before your album is released? Itās clearly calculated to some degree. Just bizarre
i think he really just doesnāt know whatās going on. this whole āfree thinkingā thing - what does it even mean. it just sounds like someone whoās insanely conflicted and not quite able to grasp anything thatās going on in the world right now (understandable), and unfortunately has decided to pick the āwrongā side.
Arenāt people tired of Kanye yet?
Kanye, boring?
Lots of stupid people think they are being clever and daring by just saying things that are the opposite of what the people around them are saying. Heās one of them.
I admit that I like his gimmicks more than his music.
