why do you think it's an "us vs them" mentality?

baffles the mind to see people holding him to some intellectual standard based off his old lyrics
how is this news to you?
last year i was in a class with several 20 somethings, ages ranged from 20 to 28.
all of them had Kanye in their top 3, 5, whatever
they were devastated when i dropped the bomb on them
the 28 year old stuck his fingers in his ears on some LALALA!!
told me i just ruined his childhood
dudes were legit hurt

The dialogue continues to be in that scope.
Look how everyone “canceled” chance because of his tweet yesterday. Everyone screams for inclusion but praises separation, which I fudamentally don’t agree with.

It's not, I just never saw that video

like, that was dudes SONG, and Ye straight up bought it, removed his name and put his name on it.

Hip hop has embraced Italian mobsters for decades, they were racists also.. it was just a m9ney thing.

Very baffling. Not to mention, those “socially conscious” lyrics are just a small percentage of his lyrics overall. His writers weren’t even that adept. Average bars over great production with the aesthetic of a “genius” tied into it.
The greatest thing Kanye did was fool people to think he was some kind of musical genius. It allowed for him to get away with average *** music or straight trash because “you don’t get it yet”....its “genius”. The man been washed since 2010. 8 years. He just produced some great records then made good music for a 5 year stretch (with a ton of help) and branded himself as some forward thinker.
Nothing ye does surprises me. He’s the ultimate contrarian and gets off on **** like this. College dropout and late registration were dope though. But I BEEN seeing through this cat.
Not much there to me tbh.

kanye is co-opting MAGA, an ideology built on nativism/white resentment, thats where us vs them comes from. there is no nuance to that. the MAGA hat is close to becoming the current day Klan hood. so many hate crimes have been committed with that hat on the last two years, im sure its a coincidence.

Kanye was a genius though. Just like Dre. His ear for music, how he put albums together. Whether he wrote or not, made every beat or not, he was still the overseer of classic albums and songs.
I like how you made this an announcement instead just changing it.

I don’t consider it co-opting for wearing a hat.
Just like people wearing religious symbols for jewelry that they have zero belief in.

sure if he's trying to do the confederate flag thing again, switch up the meaning or whatever that would be misguided but better than rocking the hat cause he wants to show support to trump

Some opinions are closer to facts than others. We hide behind "free speech" to give them all the same value and in the process, allow ******** thought processes to chip away at the mechanisms society built to separate what is true from what is false.

Why did hip hop embrace racist mafia members? The same guys who would probably spit at or slur them in person?
