    When someone shows you who they are, believe them. That shitbird’s career should have been buried and forgotten years ago. Shitheads like that are what “Canceled” was fuckin invented for.

      He doesn’t seem to have a very firm grasp on reality so I could easily see people not taking some of the shit he says seriously. But yes he already gave plenty of reason to cancel him.

          Just saying that to a certain extent, I can understand how a fan might say “yeah he says crazy nonsense all the time you shouldn’t take it too seriously” but this doubling down makes that an even more untenable position.

    Yes, the nazi is selling nazi merchandise. What part of this is shocking to you?

    Kanye has been telling y’all for literal years now that he’s a nazi piece of shit; why the fuck do so many people keeping pretending he hasn’t?

          I think we can see from the reaction to the hitler salute, that cognitive dissonance (or flat out support for nazism) is a hell of a drug, and will produce an endless stream of excuses and justifications to avoid acknowledging/admitting the truth.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

              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.

                  Please don’t attribute to malice what can be explained away by a mistake.

        you didnt make a mistake. kanye made great music, but hes a shitty person. if everybody stopped listening to music made by shitty people there’d be a lot less music in the world. led zeppelin were pedos (at least page was for sure) and they are still revered to this day as rock gods. just seems hypocritical to me

        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.
