How you gonna say fuck being cool and I'm not above anyone else we all equal when you've been quoted many times stating you're 50% more influential than anyone that's ever lived?
Get the fuck out of here man. I can see why he supports Trump, because he's obviously someone that's morals and ideals change whenever they feel like it too. I like his music and he's certainly entertaining, but when you start using your status to spout pure contradictions, just fuck you.

Yep. Or a Leonard Cohen style year long retreat to a Zen monastery.
He canceled the rest of the tour. I doubt it's because of Trump backlash. He needs mental help. Hopefully he stopped the tour so he can get it.

People still trying to pretend he ain't a moron?

Looks like Kanye is no longer on the Roc Nation website
JayZ:
Is that his label?
Is this a serious fallout
And what exactly did you decipher out of his mumblings? Been waiting for a translation from somebody who speaks Kanye.

People really need to stop making him feel important by giving him any attention.
Maybe if he stops feeling like superman his ego will finally cool down enough to allow family to take him to the therapy he so clearly needs. His brain is a bag of egotistical cats.
Might be worth going to a show earlier in the tour next time.
They irony of this statement is that dark twisted is often cited as having to much going on at once with too many producers on songs.

I heard his rant on the radio today - sounds even more ridiculous than when I read it online.
Feel really bad for people that paid to watch that - im guessing no chance those people get their money back too?!

Snoop's far more level headed than Ye. Watch his arsenio hall interview back in the early 90s. dude was dropping facts even way back during Doggystyle days. Kanye wishes he could make a point like he could. instead of these weird ramblings that sound like the shit you read on a bathroom wall.
Well, he's trying to tell us that we're all equal and stop focusing on what makes us different. Look at 95% of the threads on here lately. It's people dividing and attacking. He's also trying to stress the importance of people over things. He may not be the most eloquent speaker, but I have to admire someone for putting themselves out there and being passionate for what they believe in. That's what I got out of it.
All people seem to care about anymore is being right, or better yet, proving someone else wrong.
Those would maybe be pertinent points if it wasn't for the fact radio made him who he is today, and selling ridiculously over priced clothes. Someone who values people over things does not do that.
And he's putting himself out there bu saying shit like that? Please.
I don't think that Yeezy Season shit ever sold, tbf. There's Season One stuff still on the racks.
His shoes are the only thing he's had a lot of success with and those retail about the same as similar shoes. It's the resellers who jack up the prices.
That said, for someone who raged about racism in the fashion industry (true), the mistreatment of Katrina victims (true), and the murder epidemic in Chicago (true), for him to rant on that pro-Trump shit is one of the biggest scumbag moves of all time. Kanye has literally made millions of dollars by exploiting the struggles of minorities and then he turns around and capes for a man who wants to put them into camps? Is he fucking serious?

Bloke is a colossal dickhead and I'll never grasp the worship he gets. He's a bang average pop-rapper with a glaringly obvious cocaine problem and a severe detachment from reality.
The snoopdog video is excellent.

So that is a largely nonsensical rambling...
The only tidbits I maybe(?) agree with are that Obama failed to deliver on his promises (both because of his own doing and for reasons beyond his control) and that Hillary Clinton was not the answer.
The big disagreement comes of course from thinking that Donald Trump was somehow the answer. Yeah.. nope.

Kim seems like the brains of that operation.
Snoop said it best: "I smoke weed. Weed don't make you do that, what the fuck is he on?"

Lol at trump blacklash as the reason. His PR said it's due to missing family and wearing thin but this leg of the tour was JUST added a month ago.
If this was wearing him thin I'm pretty sure adding more shows wasn't the best idea

The Zuckerberg jab was made due to Zuckerberg not giving Kanye the $1billion for his genius ideas

What does that have to do with his music/persona?

I mean, that was convoluted but there's some stuff in there that I feel like would be valid if they were discussed and delivered in a more coherent manner. (Some of Obama's Cabinet's shortcomings -whether they were his fault or not, the bubble that the Dems and Hillary's campaign seemed to willfully place themselves into, radio/vma/music politics, etc.) But, as always, he seems to undermine his own points by making people feel like they have to decipher what he's actually trying to say.
Also, choosing to do this during a concert in lieu of actually performing is a bad call.

This.
Maybe his car accident gave him a sort of Gary Busey type of thing?
I dunno. He just sounds so out of it.
Could drugs do that? Like acid or something?
You aren't going to do LSD and actually try and perform for 90 minutes or more.

I wouldn't know. Never tried it. Maybe speed or something? Some kind of methamphetamine?
