I kind of lean more on Ye’s side in spite of the cataclysmic fall of the last few years - but in any event my point was more about Kanye’s perception of events than a real critical appraisal. More about their popularity. He was undeniably number one for a long time and simply isn’t anymore.
I think that gets to him but rather than just focussing on an album that would put him back on top, he handicaps these more half hearted attempts as an excuse for why he isn’t number one.
Nailed it
I don’t particularly like Drake but he has hits and I’d much rather listen to any of them then Kanye saying ‘Now, if I fuck this model, and she just bleached her asshole and I get bleach on my T-shirt ii’m gonna feel like an asshole’
Would much rather hear Nice For What for a 100th time thank you
What do you mean Kanye doesn’t have hits anymore?
He’s a sick fuck…
Perhaps, but I just fired up this thread to say I’m listening to MBDTF and fuck me.
What an album. What stunning control, orchestration, composition, sequencing, the lot. What an undeniably brilliant record. It would stand out in any genre but even out of context of its time and place, it sounds outrageous.
It’s sad and disturbing and FUNNY AS FUCK.
I know we all know this, and it’s why we talk about him at all, his talent, but it’s maybe the first time I’ve listened since all the Trump shit, a little drunk, and it’s just bonkers fun.
He’s twitter storming again
But watch the throne was very blahhhh
Yup, 1,500,000 sales, multiple Grammy nominations and wins but it doesn’t exist.
so weird!
Hating his meds chat. A friend of mine is genuinely into how we’re all ‘controlled’ for saying that maybe it’s a bad idea to discourage people from using their medicine.
It’s not an easy issue. I use to be close friends a bipolar person who was very artistically creative and said that they hated taking medication because they lost any interest in their art and they felt like they simply weren’t themselves. I don’t really feel qualified to talk on it, but I think it’s a common problem.
I wouldn’t judge my friend from being honest with this, so I don’t necessarily judge Kanye. That said if doctors are recommending you take medication, even if it stifles your creativity, it’s probably for the best. If you can control your issue through other means such as therapy, meditation etc. then that’s ok, but health and wellbeing is the most important thing (and certainly not the pressure to make another Runaway…)
Yeah, I’d rather people stayed healthy and alive than have a great piece of art. Suppose it all gets fucked when your art is your living.
Also unqualified to talk on it, just don’t like the tweets saying you’re ‘controlled’ if you don’t agree that medication is bad
i think the real problem is theyre on the wrong meds and dont go back to their doctor to talk about it, they just think meds are bad and come off them
doesn’t help when people around you are also calling you ‘the most genius person i know’ all the time as well
yeah I can imagine when your art is making corporation sized profits it must be impossible to keep your feet on the ground
