Kanye West - Donda (August 6th, 2021) Album • Page 104

it is the furthest thing from surprising. it isn't just hip-hop. it's culture at large.

 

he's right

 

It’s definitely part of a long and sad tradition. I Maybe lot of people that came to rap music via Kanye aren’t aren’t as familiar with that part of Hip Hop history and are thus more shocked.

In fact, a lot of the stuff Kanye says (including in the last few days) has been around in Hip Hop (be it artists or fans) in some form for a long time, on different levels and in different sub-scenes.

EDIT: As was said, it’s not just in Hip Hop. All I am saying is that there are a lot of people that might not have expected it in Hip Hop.

 

Yeah Professor Griff was kicked out of Public Enemy for it 30 years ago

 

ice cube released no vaseline in 1991

 

Jewish participants in Hip Hop, both from the old school and more current, small to big, from radio DJs to rappers to industry people, have talked and talk about what they had and have to deal with many times. The abuse is constant, even from people who nevertheless somehow accept them as parts of Hip Hop.

 

That’s not even to mention the countless records - often well known and liked - that are full of it, just in a way more obtuse way

 

not gonna watch this, but worth reading the article about it

Kanye West Releases New Documentary Last Week

 

Hopefully they don’t back out but found someone to buy all of my Kanye shirts for some good money lol

 

I did that a few years ago with my Yeezys lol

 

So bizarre

 

sold all of mine in 2020

forgot I had the shirts, 1 goes for like 350

 

Doxxing my kids to own the libs

 

Btw. the way a lot of “conservatives” now embrace Kanye is also kinda funny because I think it’s mostly because they don’t really understand some of the stuff he is saying or trying to say, partly because they don’t know what it means and partly (maybe mostly) because he is so incoherent now. That Tucker Carlson interview is a good example. He says stuff they love but he also seemingly comes close to saying stuff they really wouldn’t fuck with at all, but he always always looses the thread before he gets there. At least, I think so, but I might be imagining hints of things that aren’t actually there. Like I said, he’s barely coherent at this point.

 

Nah, I get that too. It's a strange combination of him being dumb as hell and also essentially being coached by Owens and other conservatives on right-wing talking points and dog whistles. It seems like once a year, he says something lucid and semi-progressive that is almost immediately stifled by 100 more incoherent and harmful statements. It's not the win they think it is lol

 

Maybe not progressive as such (at least not during his latest tirades), but there are definitely vague hints of Black nationalism there, which I doubt they would like if they would notice it and/or understand it and if he would actually articulate it properly (which I don’t think he can at this point)

 

hope it gets to the logical endpoint where he goes to CPAC or whatever and gets booed when he starts talking about fashion and supporting gay rights

 

He’s a useful idiot to them, nothing more, nothing less.

 

So nutty and unhinged Tucker Carlson had to edit it out

 

At the 21:00 mark, Van says that Kanye being anti semitic isn’t shocking cus when at TMZ during the slavery was a choice meltdown he said he loved hitler and the nazi’s but tmz took it out

 

Phewwww this really is the last stop for his brain, huh
