This guy did something stupid?

Goddamn, that sucks.

I know no one's weeping for super rich famous people, but the whole paparazzi thing would drive me fucking nuts. Dude just trying to walk ahead and keep his head down while like 5 cameras are rolling.
 
As I have said. These are my opinions. You and others have made it clear that you don't agre. That is great. We can agree to disagree. However other posters in this thread bringing my children into the conversation is completely uncalled for. Period.
Technically you're doing this to Kanye's dad by dragging his son around in this thread. Karma begets karma.

This is why Kanye West does what he does. Taking the spotlight away from others has become his shtick. Having worked behind-the-scenes at large events, I'm very inclined to believe that his Taylor Swift "I'll let you finish" moment was an orchestrated event by MTV, Taylor Swift, and Kanye West. Manufactured controversy isn't some foreign thing that happens once a year. Every major outlet participates in it. The pursuit of popularity goes down a very disingenuous road.

Personally, I think Kanye West has become an unfunny joke. His music, no matter how well-produced it is, is consistently overshadowed by his constant desire to be on the front page of everything. It's sad because his talent extends beyond the average, but I simply can't support a guy who gets off on upsetting others.

Kanye's antics aren't tolerated by major corporations, and it makes sense. Companies that promote ethical and morally-sound behavior do not want to work with people who promote negativity. It's a shame that Adidas chose to 'embrace' his creativity and desire to make shoes. You can tell a lot about a companies culture by who they do business with.
None of this is new. None of it. People have done this before Kanye. People will do it after Kanye.

No problem if some don't approve of it. Just be sure it isn't for any bigoted reason or you're likely to get sniffed out. OP is a pretty good example of that in practice.
 
Wow, things escalated quickly. I love Kanye's music but I do think he'd be so much more influential on the music scene if he didn't attention whore at times. Late Registration and 808's & heartbreak are great albums. Not everyone agrees on 808's but I think it had an awesome aesthetic that created a certain dark 80's mood.
 
Concern-trolling racist isn't an insult. It's what the fuck you are. That is a fact.

It's people like you that make this forum hard to browse at times. With your fake outrage at other folks outrage of racist, homophobic and/or sexist things. Telling us we need to grow thick skin and shit. But now that someone is concerned that you might be passing this bullshit onto your child, now you wanna be outraged? Now you're thin-skinned and boundaries have been crossed?




You've made two threads pearl-clutching over the antics of famous Black dudes. People wanna call you out for the asshole hypocrite you're projecting yourself as, now you wanna catch feelings?

Fuckouttahere. You don't get to play the "Don't talk about my child!" card with your racist ass. I don't give a fuck if you had 10 kids with varying forms of autism. That still don't change the fact that you're a concern-trolling racist.

You talk big behind s keyboard.
 
edit: also it's always good to post this from Ayesha Siddiqi on how reverse racism cannot exist.



amended for you

also personally love the pattern that it's usually black musician/rappers who get slapped with the "no brain cells" label. I mean not only is it presumptuous to assert that kanye is less aware of his image than other artists, it's not like intelligence is a marker of musical talent. so many fantastic musicians are just...dumb

I don't know the OP or the alleged history of racism, I have listened to a couple of albums of Kanye's and numerous antics/BS over the years. I also have zero racism mate, I've lived in places like White Plains/Scarsdale NY, Singapore, England, Australia, LA etc. I have plenty of experience living and interacting with many races. I actually employ a number of people from China as well.

At any rate, he's not some messiah of the genre, I find his intellect lacking to say the least and his own ego/persona is plain annoying. IMO he is talentless.

Here's some choice quotes of his:

“Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed. I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph”.

Then he proceeds to sell a book of his own.

“There’s certain things that black people are the best at and certain things white people are the best at. Whatever we as black people are the best at, I’m’a go get that. Like, on Christmas, I don’t but any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house I don’t want my credit to look black”.

Who's the racist exactly?

“My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform.”

First world problems, whatever will he do.

Anyhow, I've stated my opinion and I'm done in this thread.

You've discovered what's known as being a fucking rockstar... congrats. It's not like he's running the country or something.

edit: And I don't think "I can't be racist because I hire Chinese people" is the best line.

I like how, instead of addressing the pressing concerns, you start harping on one random point.

lol, not even gonna bother commenting on your blatant hypocrisy and decide to act in righteous indignation that people are concerned for your child huh.

Not the best move to take but not surprising you took it.

While this is fun, you're letting MrPressStart avoid answering his questionable posting history by trying to wave his 'THEY ARE ATTACKING MY FAMILY' wand.

Because now he's gonna go back to real life thinking, "Wow, what a bunch of assholes" as opposed to thinking, "Wow, perhaps, I AM a racist asshole", lol

So you're not racist because you've been around the world and have hired Chinese people, his intellect is somehow still relevant and lacking despite you only posting quotes in line with what we're saying--that kanye fucks around and says button-pushing and funny things a lot (like the never being able to see himself perform thing. lmao if you can't see how that's funny I feel bad)

got it

I mean he's clearly not going to address it. if he were he would've done so already

He's got a point with some of that shit. He won't eat food that tastes white? Aight...
 
I came into this thread to hear a bit more about the whole Beck/Kanye thing and what I got was.....I'm really not sure, but this went downhill fast.

I have no opinion on Kanye, if Beck didn't care, why should I.
 
wait, did kanye ever say anything smart? Saying stupid things isnt button-pushing or funny, it is just stupid.

whoa you're totally right kanye has never said anything even remotely smart ever in his life before!!!

you got em!!!

don't play ignorant like that.
 
Ah, so the OP taking on the typical "holier than thou, please refrain from insults" route that everyone takes when called out on their shit and can't defend themselves.


He's dead, Jim
