1) It's a play on The Devil Wears Prada

2) it's not his whole persona, he doesn't spend his days saying dumb shyt on twitter

This here.

He's also an underground artist. Most casual listeners probably never even heard of those projects.

They're classic though!

HWH one of best series in rap imo
its a play on Devil Wears Prada
West never really was on some "heil hitler" shiit like kanye....the most was Hitler Theme and it included a hitler speech at the end
but he's since just named them the following number because he wants no issue going forward

then he had a billboard in NYC and it didnt cause any problems before.
i mean its him in the long trench and not Hitler. even though the title is to the side so most folks may not have cared

Bro had Hitler on the album covers and sold merch with Hitler ,so he it's more than just a play on words. He was trying to make Hitler cool and Artsy. Kanye at least admitted in the song that he's only saying heil Hitler to piss everyone off .

the whole “its an anology of prada” excuse is stupid. Its a trash ass idea/cover up to put hitler in there and be edgy. People love to repeat the prada thing like its an actual valid answer to why but its a reach.

Same reason he used to dress in punk rock vests with studs and patches of bands hes never listened to before he blew. To be different to stand out. Same reason he even rapped over ug beats he didnt know existed until others showed him. half his covers are bites of metal tropes and everything down from beats to names of songs to the wrestling stuff, almost nothing original or fresh whatsoever. He needs to so you look “why is a black rapper using hitler” and then uses nostalgia to hook ug rap fans.

Then he can take it to rap world and say hes a visionary artist doing stuff noone does and sell cheap knockoff “art” because noone knows any better.
Just draw a scorpion on ANYTHING, splash some paint on it…

“Currated by flygod”.

For a guy whos whole act is being an artist/visionary… im surprised he dont get called out more.

Its smart. Hes successful. Hes a tremendous marketer. But ive never listened to someone try LESS while hailing themself as great artist. Guy brags about making entire albums in one sitting.

But then again ive seen the coli call every HWH a classic so… it works..

So alot of excuses for the cringe corny sh!t bc you like his music. Also someone on kanye and Travis Scott albums isn't that obscure an artist.
