I don't know where this dude is going anymore. I love his music, but as someone that followed his career since College Dropout to now, the future of his weird, brilliant, bragadocious, and in your face music ATM is leaving me with a question mark.

He's beyond hip-hop now. He's beyond music now. He's his own monster at this point. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing because I feel like his music is so confusing at this point and his brand is as well (I'm referring to him).

Kanye West in 2003 was just a humble dude that I could relate to. Kanye West in 2013 is a materialistic, womanizing, volatile, unpredicatble (yet predictable), and uncontrollable mess of a man.

I have a fear that Kanye's music might become watered down now that he has a kid and he'll become the rap Eddie Murphy sooner or later. Making safe songs for mainstream America. Seeing clips of his recent interview, it makes me think this man made a mistake by wifing up and having a kid with Kim Kardashian...the biggest celebrity ho in history. He's property of the mainstream machine and the Kardashian's now. After releasing his non-album of non-commercial hits that DJs are scared the play ("New Slaves" especially) that featured a variety of different styles, the Kanye that was actually loud and questioning the whims of the greater society might just be silenced for good.

TL;DR he's the kardashian's bytch now.

Kanye is the result of going from being around real people (Chicago) to being around fake people all day every day (Hollywood)... Hollywood can break even the most sound sane person if not conditioned to deal with bullshyt day in & day out...

Coupled with the fact that he didn't have the right support system to deal with the grief of losing his own mother.

He got comfortable at the top and dropped a trash album thinking his stans would be brainwashed into thinking its some genius art but they noticed it for what it was:trash:
