I’m done, there’s plenty of other good music out there. Go to hell, Kanye.

    Most Kanye fans won’t care about this.

    They don’t care what he does at all and never will.

    He’s said he was a nazi multiple times already, was attracted to minors.

    They don’t care

      They don’t care about all the child abuse at Donda Academy either. Kanye should be in prison for that. They don’t even want to hear about it if you bring it up.

        yes he was.

        and apparently he’s become too toxic, even for señor spray tan, and not only wasn’t invited to episode 2’s premiere, but wasn’t allowed to attend, either.

    This man has been screenshotted all over the internet posting complete bullshit takes including him claiming to be a Nazi several times on shitter. He’s the same dude who tried to buy Parler a few years back. He’s gone completely 'round the twist and literally everybody knew about it.

    Now he’s essentially made some random post about his new teeth (ew) to specifically drive engagement to this Nazi shit and your helping him. Delete this nonsense.

        Because it gives him free advertising. It’s better that nobody drive any kind of engagement to the store page for that item. The man craves attention and this is the way he gets it. Ignore his silly racist ass.

          Edit the point is the Streisand effect. There’s still people out there that don’t know he’s a racist fuck. This shit needs to be the first thing they see. Erase his legacy from the front page, he’s a Nazi now

            Don’t spread your enemies propaganda. You can know your enemy without spreading the link to a way for him to quite literally make money off his racism.

            We already knew he was a racist asshole long before this.

                If they don’t know they have not been paying attention because he’s literally been screaming it everywhere he can in order to get attention like an edgy teenager. So congrats on giving him exactly what he wants.

      That’s just wrong. If you want to hate on him for this Nazi shit, I’ll absolutely agree with you, but saying his music is bad is objectively incorrect. He has made the best albums ever.

        None of those albums would show up on my list of best albums.

        They would all show up near the top of the list of shittiest albums though.

        All I’m trying to say here is you can’t say any album is objectively good or bad because music taste is subjective.

      Dunno, dark twisted fantasy is a banger of an album. Can’t listen to it now due to the artist’s recent actions, but it’s genuinely a good album. Fuck Kanye and his enablement of fascism, there’s no need to pretend that he never did anything cool - as if that would make his actions any less terrible.

      Never was a fan, and at some point I realized I liked their songs far more without the lyrics. I understand their music has a huge legacy, but I just don’t see it. Give me DOOM every time.

      Weak-ass flow could never hold a candle to DOOM (rip).

      Or Posdnous.

      Or J-live.

      Or Black Thought.

      Or Pharoah Monch.

      Or Grand Pubah.

      Or Chubb Rock.

      Or Masta Ace.

      Or… …the point is I could fucking go on here for a bit and not run out of talent that not only eclipses Kanye, but precedes him and will outlast the relative dryer lint he’s contributed to our shared culture. He’s garbage.

      Mmmmmgar… mmmmmbhaaauge.

      I take issue with you calling a subjective art form shit.

      Like we can agree something isn’t for you, but calling something subjective shit is just silly really.

      P.S. Fuck Kanye.

          Again. That’s subjective my guy.

              Then I think it would have been better if OP kept their opinions on music out of it and condemned the dude for being a literal Nazi or added imo.

              Fuck me fine, but don’t come at Beethoven like that. I’ll fight you for my dawg.

              His late String Quartets are musical perfection. As are Symphonies No. 3/5/7/9.

                  I have address above that I sometimes struggle with not taking the literal meaning of what someone is saying and tried to explain how I will work on this in the future.

        You’re wrong because you’re being needlessly obtuse.

        There’s no reason to addend “in my opinion” to the end of what are clearly and obviously inherently subjective topics.

        It wasn’t a blanket statement until you decided to disingenuously disregard the implied non-subtle subtext.

        I’ve always hated this shit. “One Directions sucks” “Well that’s just your opinion!” No fucking shit, what the fuck else would it be??

          I do apologise. I sometimes struggle with what people say and trying not to think literal about it. I will try and do better.

          I would ask that you do the same, as calling me disingenuous isn’t quite right as it was a misunderstanding of language on my part.
