Because in order for him to deliver that message his character needs not fall under what he's talking down on.

That my friend is called being a hypocrite.

:rudy:

he's never shied away from his hypocrisy. did yall even listen to college dropout? the point being, the OP spoke on everything but the man's music. he didn't even touch upon anything said by kanye in new slaves or black skinhead.

so, honestly, who cares what he has to say about kanye? he can't drum up a substantive critique of kanye's content, limiting his criticism to a character assassination that reeks of jealousy.

i'd also like to say that the comment about kanye's "malformed chipmunk" face is borderline gay. nikka sounds like a jilted lover.

i don't care about kanye's excesses. i appreciate them. the dichotomy he represents is natural, and it certainly isn't something i'm going to hold against him.

The "dichotomy" he represents is completely contrived and completely his own doing.

What is the great conflict? "White people don't respect me but I need them to buy my music so I can continue shopping in their stores"...That isn't a dichotomy that is just regular old c00ning, friend.

Jim Crow had real consequences, this new-nikka struggle only creates blog content...

you obviously didn't listen to the new songs. jim crow is still here. the dichotomy is success that comes with a caveat, where the money you make does nothing to remove that "******" tag from your chest. that's what kanye speaks on.

he makes music that is controversial and provocative. even people who dislike the man buy his music, because they know it isn't just prepackaged drivel backed by a bubblegum beat. it's honest and raw expression from a man who doesn't hide his flaws. that's why his music sells. for all the contrivances you wish to assign kanye, he's one of the more least contrived artists there are.

having a "******" tag on your chest isn't all that bad. stop caring and it's pretty much removed. there's plenty of liberals stricken with enough white guilt to massage your feet like shorty did detroit red's in the flick.

That my friend is called being a hypocrite.

so the only way to deliver a message of anti-consumerism is if you've lived a life of purity from the beginning, against that lifestyle from the onset, and never made a significant purchase?

or is there a statute of limitation for this type of thing? if you have bought a pair of jeans for x amount of dollars you can't talk about racism or the prison industrial complex?

or is his wife too much of a whore to talk about consumerism now?

if you've ever bought something because you liked how it looked, or because it was trendy, you're guilty too. you're a hypocrite for calling him a hypocrite.

the truth is we are all guilty. and if someone gets us talking about how guilty we all are, i don't care how much the chain he's got on costs, if he's right he's right.

kanye raps about clothes & money and y'all say he has no subject matter
when he raps about the prison industrial complex and consumerism y'all say "you aint allowed to talk about that no more ye"

he's been pulling this type of shyt since day 1 with college dropout. examining parts of the yin and yang. idk why y'all mad about it NOW.

but being real, what does it matter?? it's the "do as i say, not as i do" approach to an extent. who gives a fukk about the ulteriority of it all if what is being said is socially stimulating and, at the very least, opens up much needed discourse about topics most people never discuss in hip hop culture?? disingenuous or not, "new slaves" is going to spark dialogue, racially/socially/culturally/politically-motivated dialogue, how could this ever be a bad thing?? don't take the "consider the source" route on everything, truth is truth no matter where it comes from.

"You see the DEA teamed up with the CCA /
they tryna lock nikkas up,
they tryna make the new slaves"

kanye is the fukking truth, don't let what he does in his leisure cloud your judgement on his art and his message. at least SOMEBODY is saying SOMETHING besides just molly and ciroc and all that. kanye is the edwin hubble of rap, ha, edwin hubble was a racist, sexist, highfalutin, piece of shyt but his contribution to science is worthy of all the praise it receives.. you can hate an artist but still appreciate his art.. oh, and i'm completely ignoring how amazing "new slaves" and "black skinheads" are sonically as well, they are both dope as fukk just on a music tip. it's amazing how songs like this get people so angry but french montana's pure fukking garbage being on the radio all day is perfectly fine with us, we are okay with him but hate kanye for ruffling feathers??? nah, that's skewed logic to me.

"the system's broken, the school's closed, the prison's open / we aint got nothin to lose muthafukka, we rollin"... >>>>>> every MMG and YMCMB artists life

Its not just hypocrisy. Its not just Kanye says one thing and does another. Its not just Kanye raps about ideas that often conflict with each other.

The problem is Kanye LITERALLY PUTS HIMSELF ON THE CROSS. He's made himself a martyr so we gotta look at the man and his life and see if any of it makes sense. It does not.

He equates his own fake struggles (white people criticize me even though I wear Alexander Wang :dwillhuh:) with the actual struggles of slavery, Jim Crow and the remnants that exist today. Nobody gives a fukk about Alexander Wang. Nobody. Thats a Kanye problem not a black problem. He exploits these ideas only to bring attention to himself and that is disrespectful and an insult to intelligence. He does the same thing with religion just like Madonna and Marilyn Manson before him.



He is not a martyr, or a leader, or even an artist with insightful ideas to share. He is just a dumb fakkit.
