Kanye West - ye & Kids See Ghosts (June 1 & 8 2018) Album • Page 82

well... I’m not brushing him off...

I’m just saying he is a fucking troll

now, consquences of that, I don’t know... he does have a huge patform and that could mean trouble

 

we have a case study of what the consequences are when celebrities with huge egos and zero knowledge of wielding political power dip their toes into politics and hurl meaningless platitudes of unification while simultaneously amplifying people with extremely problematic and dangerous world views and we call them trolls and don't hold them accountable for what they're saying and what they're doing

 

God willing

 

I can't tell the difference between these avatars just saying.

 

Hmmm.

 

OH yeah well uhhh. I can't tell the difference between uhhh. Your face and a butt

 

Oh shit...

 

something something microwave something

 

yeah cwhit why dont you microwave your face is that what you're trying to say motherfucke r

 

Not very nice Dylan.

 

You should just be grateful my avatars are just of members of the dead instead of egregiously stupid hippie imagery that I'd make you look at constantly

 

not enough dancing bears I says

one of the blogs i read did a summary if yall are interested

- Kanye West blamed the Taylor Swift incident and the loss of L.A. Reid at Universal Music following an accusation of sexual harassment for his lack of radio play and ultimately his breakdown in 2016. He also mentions Kim's robbery and the lifestyle of being on tour as contributing factors
- Kanye said "Ever since the Taylor Swift moment it has never been the same, the connection with radio. Like whatever powers that be, it was much harder after that."
- Kanye claims that he expected radio play as "one of the most popular artists in the world" and the fact he did not receive that with Life of Pablo affected him. He says this was also due to L.A. Reid not being able to help him get radio play after leaving Universal Music due to sexual harassment allegations. Kanye said, “And then also, LA, leaving Universal, like you know, he had that radio locked. So, if you’re an artist and you’re signed to a major label, you want to be on the radio. — Especially if you popular, if you’re poppin’."
- When asked what he truly blames on the breakdown, Kanye expressed "Fear, stress, control, being in control, manipulation, like being a pawn in a chess piece of life. Stressing things that create like validation that I didn’t need to worry about as much. It’s the concept of competition, and being in competition with so many elements at one time. A race against time; Your age; Are you getting old? The race against popularity on the radio. Khaled got this song, Drake got this song on the radio… St. Pablo ain’t even playing.”
- Kanye also said he felt disrespected when Obama called him a jackass following the 2009 VMA's, and likes Trump because "I can tell you that, when he was running, it's like I felt something. The fact that he won, it proves something. It proves that anything is possible in America. Donald Trump can be president of America... when I see an outsider infiltrate, I connect with that."


Can you imagine a timeline where Beyonce wins the VMA???

 

Yeah, I think the Tswift thing is one of the most important pop culture/pop music moments of the 21st

 

Dylan posts hot trash on the reg so I would be careful of getting mixed up with him.

 

So millions of dollars and the adoration of the majority of music fans across the world wasn't enough for this guy?

Get real. Get bent.

 

never said we shouldn’t hold them

also, hate the term “problematic”... just say fucked up or stupid or evil... why say problematic when you mean the other? (not directed at you, just in general)

 

Kanye shrugging after the TSwift incident is and probably always will be my favorite picture of all time.

 

yall asked for it

 

and yeah thats an artists depiction of LSD blotter paper in the shape of a dancing bear


YOU ASKED FOR IT

 

Interesting. IMO: There wasn't a radio song on that album. The roll-out, weird rushed feel, Tidal exclusive, and general fuckery of that release didn't help its chances either.

 

Waves was a radio song I felt like.

 

Note: Do not google "Dancing Bear" thinking you'll find a funny gif to post. Thanks reddit.

 

Chris Brown? Nah.

"Woves" or a better thought out/finalized "Fade" had the best shot. But neither are getting Drake-level play on those stations.
