Even if you've already heard about it, you have to see this video before you make up your mind: What was he thinking? I listened to the whole speech and gathered a few take-aways: It appears Kanye has been genuinely inspired by Trump's speaking style, as if it represented a genuine self. And he's laying down a huge bet right now, putting his career at risk. It appears that up until recently, Kanye had remained silent. It appears he was part of the "monster" vote...except he never voted. Then a few circumstances happened that invoked a kind of come-to-Jesus moment when he could no longer keep silent, and the "monster vote" , albeit a little late, came out of him in a big way. Whatever was keeping him silent before has been washed away and he no longer has any fear. If you look at his fan base by reading their cutting remarks in the comment sections below this news, you can see what kind of PEER PRESSURE Kanye has been under, just to please so many racist Democrats in bed with the Hillary machine...all trying to be "cool". Recently he'd had enough of the bs and decided to take an unequivocal stand...and boarded the Trump Train...better late than never. One major factor had to do with how, for seven years he had to live down his ridiculous interruption of Taylor Swift in favor of Beyonce and one of her videos. Then recently, Beyonce and J-z did a free concert for Herlordly Clinton trying to get the vote out for her. And we all know how COOL they were with all their nasty lyrics. Then, to put a cherry on top of all this crap, Beyonce pulled behind the scenes strings to beat Kanye out of an award for one of his recent tracts. That and other considerations have invoked the monster vote...a complete ideological shift away from the plantation of neo-racists who hide a true self behind how COOL they must be. I used to joke about Kanye, how he was leaving Kim alone to go back out on tour, living a completely a-political life for money (but at least keeping the family business rolling despite Kim's nonsense). But now it looks like the tour is canceled, and career is at risk as they are holding him for psyche evaluations. I do hope his next gig is a performance at one of the inaugural balls (even the official ball)...even he did jump on the train a little late...but still early enough to help make America great again!
Hmm, his ego is match Trump. He is stupid , but is smart too. He is smart to how he get attention, fame, with the media. His music is terrible in my opinion. Nothing with instruments he can play. Nothing. Yeezus??? Jesus??? Asshole??? Yes.
If I've ever heard a KW song I would not have known it. His fan base, if he still has one, was just too cool for me. So I don't know much about him or his music. But at this point I think he should be invited to an inaugural ball as he has definitely taken a moral stand, is taking heat from fake self racist Hillary die-hards, and is putting it on the line. Unlike Lady Gaga who continues to pander to the coolest fanbase, proud of thier fake diversity, who'll buy any genre of music she puts out, as long as the little monster mother says it's cool...even if it's fake country western.
What? He have the huge fan base. Why do you say "if he still has one"? Do he take a "moral stand" like you say? I think he is the biggest full of shit, media whore, is no talent, but make his huge success through marketing media. His drama is his market. Not his talent is on the market. His drama is on the market. So he walk away from his concert to play his drama for more attention. Ok. He can not play instruments, and not sing good, but he can play the media like genius.
Ok you must not have listened to the speech on the video. It's genuine...enough! Sure it's dramatic and some drama sells. There was even some humor in it and he got his biggest applause with the make America great again line. But he is risking a large part of his fanbase, and may be heading for a big dip in cash flow before he can recover...IF he can recover. To me, any stand for a true self, one that stands equal to all others (not just equal to those of your own race), if authentic, is a "moral" stand. Yes, hes been doing this drama a while, and now it takes a more authentic, more useful direction, benefitting the nation along with his self. In other words, this is relevant. More power to that.
I've never heard his voice, not a single syllable. Haven't ever heard his "music" or his rants or anything else for that matter. From 50,000 feet he seems like an obnoxious guy.
I can't believe my trial balloon thread in favor of Kanye West is going down in flames of irrelevance! Just to prove how relevant this is, and float this back to the top, I'm forced to attach a Mark Dice video discussing the matter: As you can see, Dice doesn't know whether to make fun of the situation, or be glad that Kanye is now on our side. In Kanye's defence, he didn't go voluntarily. His personal trainer betrayed him and called the cops citing erratic behavior. I want to know who his personal trainer voted for!
You know those on the left want to involuntarily commit anyone who supports Trump. This is their version of tolerance for dissenting points of view.
