In Kanye News....

[ace]

so...is this really an album promotion or nah? cuz i still think acting this way and promoting an album can be mutually exclusive.

prolly gonna listen to donda, but i haven't had Kanye in serious rotation since...MBDTF. and i listened to his last record 1x.

Missioned accomplished if you’re tuning in. Besides the tracks I know like new body and alien I fully expect this to be ***.

 

[hipstermike]

Haven’t listened to any songs he has done after TLOP. Haven’t listened to any of his music since then either. No streams no YouTube nothing. He can keep his shoes and music.

You realize Nike became NIKE because of Mike right? They might not have even been second to adidas when they got Mike, hell he didn't even want to take the meeting.


Nike has become a global powerhouse built on the backs of many athletes but most notably Michael Jordan. So what if he doesn't know **** about resourcing today. The dude is a fierce competitior and at savy business man. You really think that's something he can't learn?

Not knocking you on your stance but let's not pretend that Mike hasn't made Nike billions if not trillions of dollars. If he wanted a seat on that board he very much deserving of such.

Fully aware of what Mike means to Nike. However his talent wasn’t shoe design. He didn’t go to school for business or economics. Mike is a hooper. And that’s not to say he doesn’t care about what his name is attached to or is incapable of handling what would be asked of him in that position but I would like to bet that if you asked the man himself he doesn’t know about nor want to be involved in the business of outsourcing a sweatshop in Taiwan. Him being the inspiration based on what he did I’ve never heard him complain about.

I am not trying to downplay Michael Jordan, what he has done for Nike or who he is and what he has accomplished but Nike clearly lays out requirements for Board Candidates

This is what Ye gets for marrying into that pack of succubus bit**es. You sign that deal and you get everything that follows. Do not feel sorry for that.

As for all the fashion arguments, if he was really all that he would have gone Fubu style and grinded and done it himself. His name is big enough. But fact is he doesn’t wanna put up the money and resources. He wants someone else to do that. He’s happy taking the credit but not trying to really do it all even though he says he does.

And If this new album actually sees the light of day it will be trash. Nothing in the last four years that he’s done musically leads me to believe anything else.

And right now he ain’t nothing but the Sanjaya of presidential candidates. Just taking always votes from people.

Why haven't you listened to any of his stuff specifically sicne TLOP? I don't support his views, actions or rhetoric and think his newer stuff has been trash. Having said that, I threw on Late Registration for my workout today. Does that make me a hypocrite? I'm not asking in an argumentative way btw. I'm legitimately curious

 

[hipstermike]

Dave came out as a friend and Ye telling him to say some jokes

 

[Mark Antony]

"Dance Dave, dance"

 

[Mark Antony]

Dave came out as a friend and Ye telling him to say some jokes

You can tell he was uncomfortable, came out on some real concerned brother **** and he turned it into a photo op like Trump.

 

[don ramon]

crazy manipulative dude with his own agency, but some of y'all feel bad for him. i don't get it

 

[walkingBred]

Cringy. Worse thing you can ask a comic is "tell me a joke". Stand-ups talk about this all the time. It's a known comic pet peeve. They hate it cause the jokes they tell are crafted for the stage. And the jokes they crack off the stage are spontaneous. Tell me a joke on the spot is only good for hack material like "why did the chicken cross the road"

 

[dhart48]

That was all kinds of awkward, and Kanye still posted it.

Dave wasn't planning on being on social media today

I don’t own physical albums and only streamed his work. I don’t want him making any profit from me.

Just a point of information, artists get paid from streams

not judging you but streams make him money though

 

[getback]

You can stream for free though.

 

[hipstermike]

Streamed as in the past.

Reading comprehension?

Maybe read my first post.

 

[hipstermike]

Streamed as in the past. I have not streamed or watched him on YouTube since TLOP.

 

[stuntman mike]

the fact that dave flew out there goes to show what kinda guy he is. idc what kanye did in that vid, all i saw was a friend who flew out there to be there for someone he cares for. he probably knew kanye would be acting foolish but he went anyway.

 

[freeze]

I feel for Dave. Bro went out to check on that weirdo not to do a set. I'm funny, but don't tell me to be funny, then I'm not funny.

 

[freeze]

Never forget this one

 

[QU!K]

Dave doing a solid, and Kanye trying to exploit him.

 

[walkingBred]

Can't wait to see this on Chappelles next stand-up
