this shyt read like one long run-on sentence.
the points, if they're to be called that, miss the actual point: kanye west is the reflection of the successful black man in post-jim crow america, a man who has mastered the skill of navigating between the worlds of black and white, whose music reflects the agony of having to adapt to the embrace of white america while still feeling kinship with the people he's leaving behind.
the man is a conflicted mishmash of views and emotions, whose identity is at once militant and bourgeois, academic and ignorant, charitable and patronizing. that is who kanye west is, and that's who many successful black men ( myself included) become. it's not due to a desire for conflict. rather, it's the constant pressure by white and black america to arrive at this ideal that will finally dispel the stereotypes given life by slavery's remnants. kanye west is a very complex, but thoroughly intelligent and creatively masterful, artist whose music embodies the tug of war that's waged within the souls of so many black men.
this screed misses the point. it reflects the usual commonplace criticisms voiced by armchair critics (read: kanye haters) who refuse to recognize the man's art because they can't handle the truth.
i should add that i didn't like watch the throne. i'm not a huge kanye fan. but i LIKE new slaves and black skinhead. that kind of music needs to be said, NOW. i'm someone that recognizes how black america, a lot of it due to the response obama's presidency has generated, is viewed by much -- the majority? -- of white america. we're under attack. and, 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.
it's obvious that what kanye is saying makes some blacks and a hell of a lot of whites very uncomfortable. eric holder said we are a cowardly people when it comes to matters of race. we package discussions of it in niceties, with dialogue that doesn't offend. if kanye is offending people, GOOD. if he's being bold with what he's saying, EXCELLENT. the intellectual dishonesty of his critics is insulting. there's no substance to their critiques. they're just regurgitating what we've always heard about kanye:
ahh, why does he talk that conscious stuff when he's so materialistic.
blah blah blah.
why is kanye singled out for this. isn't that a criticism that can apply to even people like michael moore? noam chomsky, the proletariat's champion, lives in a big ass house in one of the wealthiest towns on the east coast. so, why target kanye for similar contradictions of message and lifestyle? it's because he's a BLACK man. it's because most white people and some of you house ******s think black men "shouldn't be talking like that." kanye should be happy with what he has and just make music to dance to. fukk a message.
"damn, kanye - who told you to run your mouth? don't you know you're black?"
that's how the OP comes across, and that's how many of these whites crying about new slaves come across. a black man speaks up about some REAL shyt, and the only thing they can talk about is his margielas and the white girl he impregnated.
as if that discounts what he's saying.

Is Toure back in the public eye or something? Why is his name being brought up so frequently in here? I remember that twat from the source.
and the only thing they can talk about is his margielas and the white girl he impregnated.

His rapping has become forced
He's leaked out more cases of #strugglerhymes
He's a hypocrite
Hardly ever makes his own beats now
this might be the most spot on comparison that's ever been used to describe a rapper.

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