Huge Kanye fan. Went to his 3rd listening party at Soldier Field for Donda. Surrounded by white people. Heard some (yt) woman behind me ask someone else if they thought Kim Kardashian was there...and it was at that moment when I asked myself if he married Kim, did the Trump ****, etc...for white...not necessarily acceptance but maybe inclusion? Definitely white dollars. Seems like, as an entertainer, when you get in with them folks, your money goes up. And Kanye saw Kim as not only desirable physically but also a good business move.
I actually thought about this morning after seeing this podcast snippet. Is the guy just trying to secure that white bag while burning all other bridges. I dunno. I ain't got time to put that much thought into it.
Betrayed? Nah, but I do ask how the hell is this the person who made College Dropout and said Bush don't care about black people.
Mental illness? Sure, but I'm not chalking all of this up to that. Given that I'm still asking about him doing this for money, I think a lot of this is based in greed.
Bigger plan? Ya, get money.
Genuine? I do think he is genuine but also spouting off about stuff he just heard about/is learning about. That's the toughest part, imo. I def think it's "real."
