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

    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.

    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

    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.
     
  17. 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
