What do you do when no one's watching?
"Smile."
Kanye is great, I don't care what people say. And his rant is not as incomprehensible as they make it seem.

People will continue to chalk it up to this or call him crazy because of how he acts. It's understandable. I'm just basing what I see on past facts. The 'Early Kanye' people praise is mainly his music, not the person. Seriously, go listen to interviews about him, listen to what Dave Chappelle said about him when he met him right after College Dropout hit. It's the same dude.
His experience led to this Kanye of today then?

The Edit here sums it up well. I went in expecting cringe, but I could really see where he was trying to go. Some pretty good real talk.
Cause his clothing line is more important than climate change. The dude needs help.

I can't be mad at Kanye for this. He quoted Rakim on daytime television. ✊

The Brian Wilson of our generation
I thought so.
I mean, he jumps a bit, but other than that it was pretty clear what he was trying to say and he stayed on the same topic.
When I think disjointed I think Tom Cruise.

"Epic" what the fuck is this adjective.
So his insane God of War: Ascension arrived him to a level of fragmented statements and tangent-laden rants. Got it.

He spoke about trying to connect with Payless so poorer kids could have cool looking clothes and not get bullied.

I'd love to see you guys go through the public identify crisis that Kanye has gone through in front of the world and try to stay true to yourself on Ellen.

I've been wondering why the world didn't realize this since 2008
Kanye is the reason Pearl Jam cut their set short at Bonnaroo 2008... he moved his fucking set to 2AM out of the blue and didn't even end up taking the stage till 5AM.
Fuck that guy.

I'm a fan of his and I get where he's going with this but this is pretty ranty and hard to follow if you don't know wtf hes talking about
also I think it's great that he wants to help people, but his plan is absurd. When he started up that school or whatever it was he wanted to help the world through design and said fuck science and education and stuff like that. I could be misinterpreting that because he's not very clear about anything
Yeah man for real, he isn't really living any kind of normal life and how he sees things and expresses himself is going to be altered and distoreted as a result.
He said people are dismissing things like fashion as if it's extraneous and then he goes on to say how the climate of schools leads to bullying based on appearances.
He then went on to say he wanted to try something with Payless to help change how kids bully others over wearing discount clothing.
At that time it legitimately has an impact on low-income students and can set how they are treated throughout school.

Kids you laughed at because they wore Sketchers or Payless shoes were in that position because they were already living in a rough state.
Then they have to deal with intense social pressure/become outcasts to those with higher incomes.
Seriously?
Ellen's thinking "This shit is gonna get me some views."
is it just me or kanye is fatter now?
Just you.
So vanity will save the world?

Man I see this and all I think is "he's totally the glitch from wreck it ralph"
Ellen's thinking "This shit is gonna get me some views."
he got fat?
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
this was my first thought as well. I would watch every gawddamn day.
seriously though Kanye is saying some semi important shi. If he could focus on one subject at a time people would be able to digest his message.

How far apart are kinda genius and actual genius?
No, it'll just help stop kids from being bullied, which is a perfectly noble cause.
Kanye's totally right that classism among kids is a huge source of bullying -- I grew up going to a pretty poor school and this was a big reason they switched to enforcing a uniform and dress code, so that the poorer kids didn't get picked on for their clothes. Even then you could tell when a poorer kid was wearing hand-me-downs, or old stuff with stains. My mom personally helped buy clothes for poor kids and run donation drives and stuff to help stop this kind of shit.

Nah, that's just Kanye.
If he posts more than 3 times in a thread, he be stanning.
No.
Preventing bullying of lower income students wearing "discount fashion" is what his point was.
And that little idea could affect lots of students, that to this day, get bullied for the same shit.
His point is that just because an idea isn't large at scale, doesn't mean it doesn't matter.
--
People often overlook lots of variables that affect people on a personal level, and those smaller causes can make a bit of a difference.
This being the same individual who has white t-shirts with insane price gouging.
He's designating style at a price.
