Kanye's reign of destruction continues, unlike his tour
- Thread starter Bronx-Man
- Start date

He has been spiralling downhill mental health wise since his mom died. I believe he had always felt guilty that it was his fault because I heard he bought the new car for his mom etc . And his accident that fucked up his jaw and nearly killed him
love him and his music but hope he chills out for a bit and recalibrates
Nope, this is what happens when a person with mental health issues doesn't get help.
I don't get it
If we're taking those into consideration then what happen to Kim (robbed at gun point and tied up) several weeks ago couldn't have helped things either.

he's going to make a new tour called - "VIBES" it'll just be him talking about what he thinks about life and what his vibes are about it. more specifically about politics or whatever.
lol nah, he isnt that full oh himself to do that right?

I heard a theory last night that he's trying to turn himself into a Kardashian: maximum dollars for minimal effort. He has to do a lot more hands on shit to get a check than his wife, who makes more than him.
Yeah that's what I think too. Especially because if you look at his albums since that happened, that's when they really started breaking from what he had been doing. Of course the personality seemed to change that point too.

Welp, that's it for the Toronto date... bummer as I had great tickets as well.
Sucks especially for the people in Detroit who were supposed to see him last month or whenever and then he had to reschedule. You'll never see him now suckas.
Hang in there guys. On a personal note Blink 182 canceled twice here (CZ) and then finally pulled it off on their third try (not that important though as it was my second time seeing them live)
Fair enough but isn't creating and playing music supposed to be fun though? Like as an artist you look forward to sharing your work on a stage (or you don't and then you got some issues whether it be personal or over scheduling or too much pressure or whatever). At least that's why you want to be involved with music in the first place.

Lol, that was one line on TLOP. "I Feel Like That" is a much more damning look at his problems than anything on that album.

Man, whatever is going on with him personally, I don't really buy this at all. This concert was absolutely amazing, Kanye gave a killer high-energy performance that went-on for longer than nearly any artist I've ever seen, with no breaks. Kanye is a lot of things, but I find it hard to view him as lazy.

Glad I saw him when I did, feel bad for those who bought tickets because it was an amazing show

Guy's clearly gone off the deep end. He needs to get professional help, pronto. I hope he gets it.

Dude jumped off the deep end last night. Went on a 15 minute rant and walked off stage. Luckily, it's on video!

I don't think his ego will let him do that.
Get some rest, Ye. Saw him in September and it was probably the best concert I've ever been to. He looked so happy and you can definitely tell that he enjoys everyone having a good time (either to feed to his ego or whatever).
But hey, maybe we'll get MBDTF 2 out of this.
That was Saturday. Last night was cancelled 3-4 hours before the show started.

you don't "need" to take lexapro when needed. it's not like you take lexapro to combat an acute symptom. it's just something you take every day.
i hope kanye is in an OK place right now.
This seems like a theory made up by some salty anti-Kim fan. Kanye's a creator I don't think he's doing this just for money.
It'd be nice for him if he could just chill and be Kim K's husband for a bit, they don't need Kanye to be making music and touring and that shit, he needs a few months of decompression time and a good therapist.
Too many people want to ride Kanye's wave though so they'll probably keep pushing him. Shame.
I saw him earlier this year. He was more than an hour late, rambled incoherently at parts, but he performed for about 90 minutes.
Said performance was basically him barely moving, forgetting most of his lines, and getting upset when the crowd wouldn't know obscure lines from TLoP.
I love a lot of kanyes music but I would probably decline to see him in concert again. Hope he finds himself and gets his swagger back, I hear he used to be a great show.

All this talk about mental illness reminds of a Dave Chappele quote from the Actors Studio in regards to Martin Lawrence's breakdown:
The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. I don't understand this person. So they're crazy. That's bullshit. These people are not crazy. They're strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick.

I have to wonder what it's like to be in the stadium when Kanye or one of those other famously unreliable performers decides to just quit.
They leave the stage after a handful of songs......confusion grips the room. Where'd he go? Is this a set break? Is he coming back? After a couple minutes in the dark, the house lights slowly come up....generic music starts playing over the speakers. Wait, it's over? What the fuck?
Confusion turns to anger. Suddenly 50,000 people all realize they just got scammed. How there aren't riots and serious damage to the venue is beyond me.

That isn't at all what people are saying in here though, so that makes no sense. People aren't calling him crazy, they are saying he needs helps and may be mentally ill.

I hope dude is able to get some help. This is ridiculous.

Doesn't that really, really suck for anyone who bought tickets second-hand (not through a website with guidelines and policies in place)? Yikes.

I knew that having floor tickets to a Kanye show were too good to be true. Hopefully the guy takes a long break from it all. Regardless of what's going on in his head, I hope he gets some help.

He's really lost the fucking plot. I'm about as big a fan as they come
but he's lost his damn mind.
Don't think I'll be supporting him until he gets his act back together.

The guy is a cock that doesn't deserve the fans he has. They'll go to the end of the earth for him and defend him til the bitter end. He, on the other hand, can't finish a 90 minute show or a tour now. He's not mentally unstable, he just believes his own hype way beyond reason. This is the same guy that compared himself to Mozart, Shakespeare, Nike, Google etc. His dipshittery isn't a recent occurrence.

The media said he's way out of control
I just feel like I'm the only one not pretendin'
I'm not out of control, I'm just not in they control
I know I'm the most influential
That TIME cover was just confirmation
This generation's closest thing to Einstein
So don't worry about me, I'm fine

Hope he gets the help he needs. It's been a hell of a year for him.
Is his video game getting delayed too?

WTF. It looks like he recruited a bunch of white starving homeless people.
Edit: LOL, I missed the black guys in the back lanes.
