I have to Admit, Kanye West is the Total Package

[Walt]

gotta get you on the cast soon, dogg

For sure, brother. Get at me soon. I'm about to have a full month off after a crazy work period. Would love to chop it up with y'all.

c00nye Worst unites us where Heliflopter once drove us apart.

Congrats on his MVP by the way.

Well said, I agree....


Add on the fact that he doesn't have half of the elocutionary talent of the 5 emcees that you mentioned...

He's a walking stereotype of everything that is flawed in the modern American limousine liberal negro...Arrogant, effeminate, disingenuous, irresponsible, self serving and fueled by Euro-envy.... Fighting his own petty personal battles while attempting to cloke them in Black nationalism..

Imagine if Toure was a rapper and you have Kanye West...

I called this 5 years ago

New Slaves and Black Skinhead wasn’t about the Black struggle. It was all about HIM

It was clear as day in 2013, man. Even before that. What nikkas didn't get was "George Bush doesn't care about black people" wasn't about black empowerment either. It came from the same place as the new statement do. If you can't figure that out, you'll be taken by the next charlatan too.

Kanye pulled this same stunt last year and clearly hasnt learned a thing but he's a bozo

Tweeting a whole bunch of all the wall shyt that no one agreed with, sabotaged his music by coming off unlikeable in a way no one could ignore.

The album flops, the tour flops, his clothing line flops and he fakes a mental breakdown cause he can't face the truth that he has done unfixable damage to his brand.

I made a thread related to this a few months ago. Ultimately, anyone who was seriously into hip hop by the time Kanye came around knew that Kanye was a dull, mediocre c00n.

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Yes, this is all true.....but he's made some dope beats in the middle of all that, which is all I was ever really expecting from him. Shame about the rest though, damn shame. Especially actually getting married to her. That is just inexcusable and indefensible.

I would read a book written by Walt about hip-hop he thinks is wack. I might even pay up to $19.95 for it.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

He who shall speak truth to power, our great provocative, populist artist, thugging it out with the Gwyneth Paltrows of the world referring to him as her "nikka." Ghostproducers, ghostwriters, shallow lyrics that tap into the emptiness and disconnectedness of the black middle and upper middle class, cliche takes on interracial dating, consumerism, sex, and blackness that would shame the most tired slam poet. The type of black person who doesn't feel a sense of authenticity in the white or black world and feels the urge to align himself with whichever one fits his mood for the day, as he tries on philosophies, indignation, and societal outrage like one of his funky leather outfits or a pair of designer shades - what will look best this season, and to whom? As even activism and justice become just another name brand or champagne, something so bathed in capitalist ethos that it rates and resonates as a buzzword or a quip.

Are you sure you didn't write this two days ago??
