Dude can go off on somebody lol he's vicious with it.

 

[RamsayBolton]

I never thought I could find anyone in hiphop more vile and reprehensible than Puffy

Someone aware me on this?

You can search old threads about Kanye when the coli started and yall nikkas was dikk eating while other posters like myself was saying he was a corny self hating, emo, wannabe cac

And yall mafukkas would get mad

We also said his music was overrated
Especially College Dropout

Now why do y'all always gotta make outta pocket ass statements like this when y'all talk about Ye. What was overrated about College Dropout?

Wtf do you think overrated means

shyt was nowhere near the hype
so was Late Registration

People say he was going off the deep end when his mom died but I think it was when he almost died in that car accident.

Makes a song about it despite being only viewed as a producer to a lot of folks at the time . Song jump started his career along with his ego .

He's a narcissist to the highest degree

 

[Black Ball]

Damn that @Walt post go crazy. I remember when it 1st dropped, but I just read it like it was the first time. So vicious & poignant.

I remember exactly where I was when I read this by @Walt

I was living in Bushwick, Brooklyn on 170 Harman Street in 2013 and I drank way too much of the Kanye West koolaid. Thinking that he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Becoming one of the most shameless Yeezy stans ever. Trying to cop a pair of Nike Yeezy 2s and took an L. To me he was taking art and music to exciting new levels...especially as a Black creative.

I'll remember I was standing in line for a Kanye West Yeezus party for what seemed like an hour
Then we were told it was invite only and anybody that didn't have an invite couldn't get in. This was before his Yeezus show at MSG.

But yeah...when he was trying to put out confederate flag merch...I was so not with it. I was like "whats wrong with this guy?" For the first time ever. And I felt I couldn't support that. Everything else about Yeezus was just spectacular to me...but that Confederate flag merch I could not rock with at all.

Unfortunately I think that was a predecessor to what would come next.

there was a thread on here this week about how he tried to sign the whole band from making the band for 8k

yeah at one point it was transgressive but he leaned in too hard

Wish people in his camp or the media would've checked him early on and he might not have jumped this far out the window with it.

Wouldn't have mattered. Nothing was or will ever stop Ye being Ye. Fans gotta realize this is who he is for the remainder of his life.

incredible breakdown that is almost a decade old yet more relevant than ever

this the shyt you can't find on complex
