When I see post like this I see why being black is hard. We can't blame Kanye for riling up the masses cause when does personal responsibility come in? It's like keep messing up we will blame somebody but when do we stand up and say fukk that you know right from wrong make some better decisions? People also act like blacks want to be entertainers just because that's the way the see out and I can agree maybe we need to see more avenues out. I guess I'm not a person that does much blaming of things esp entertainment and the like. In most cases people are where they are cause of their own choices and the sooner people see that the better off they would be.
I think you might need to go and read over my posts. I wasn't speaking about how black people are being guided by entertainers. You've gone off topic.
The video is titled 'Kanye West: Walking Contradiction' so I will only speak on how the topic of the video of how he is a walking contradiction and how all of this goes back to marketing ploys.
I was following on from Charlamagne's point that Kanye complains about all the things he indulges in.
Jonathan Kim K's PR man has already spoken about many times and confirmed that the Kardashians call paparazzi's themselves, they are the most famous family for fame whoring and put yourself out there, so why is he so suprised when paparazzi show up if his girlfriend's PR firm' calls them ? In her divorce case it was disclosed that Kim K and Kris Jenner email TMZ and other blogs daily to update them, so celebrities who pretend their business is all out there for no reason are lying, they control it, every bit of it.
As Charlamagne said, if you hate your wealth and fame so much, sell it all off and go live in a hut, he won't do that thought because in reality he doesn't hate it so much. It all goes back to marketing, PR, tactics to fuel public thinking.
I come from a PR background so I like to observe these things and if you really look from the outside you will see many celebrities are 'contradictions'. Regardless of how we try and spin this it's all a money making monopoly and the people where the money comes from will always be the masses.
All that he claims to be upset about he actually isn't it's simply marketing tactics to get more money from the masses and get people riled up (as Charlamagne highlighted). I'm not one of the people who buy into these things at all. I'm simply an observer. I broke down the dynamics of the mental play that goes into these artists.
As Charlamagne said, it's all a walking contradiction.
@ nggaz denouncin kanye now.
Low key, Char's interviews are the best out currently. Only person that spits so much honesty about other people was probably 50 Cent in his hood heyday.
