you only think you know "who he is" because of what you see in media lol. duh
"in the media" meaning direct quotes I visually see him say and hear him say? :dahell: his actual, first person statements and quotes I see? Not some media analysis or spin...wtf are you talking about

that's exactly my point jesus christ. a person who didn't click on the same shyt you click on wouldn't see that same shyt you complain about! so if you want to just enjoy the music, then just fukkin play the music and don't click on other shyt. how is this so confusing to you lol

Funny seeing this thread cause I made the old comment about how I miss listening to old Kanye when he seemed so pure. Just came off like a regular ass dude. Corny punchlines at times but that was part of the appeal. Then we eventually find out he'll do anything to move up in the world, damn near all his lyrics ghostwritten, and straight up for sell it just took the shine off of everything. I listen to the first couple of albums and it's still great music but don't hit the same.
It's like when I learned wwf wasn't real :mjcry:, kanye whole old persona was manufactured, not only that but his rhymes too

there are millions of people who don't indulge in social media. the fact that this is incredulous to you proves my point that you are entrenched with internet shyt.
The venn diagram of people who enjoy kanye west's music and 'indulge in social media' is like...a cylinder.

That said, my opinions on Kanye aren't based on internet shyt or think pieces...its shyt I actually hear him see....nobody else's opinion...i don't even know what you're arguing :why:...like...If I was less aware of the bullshyt Kanye says I'd enjoy his music more...?

okay? :unimpressed:

you are confusing "media" with "omg they are making a slanted story" which i never said that much. media is just media, it can be a first person post. your fault for reading into basic words i never posted. if you want to just enjoy the music, you don't have to read his twitter. get it?

ok. Ignorance is bliss is your point. If I didn't hear the stuff Kanye said or believes I'd enjoy his music.

I used to be this way. Recently saw on Reddit author Neil Gaiman is being accused of sexual assault and one of the top comments talked about how that poster loved Gaiman’s work over the years and it personally meant so much to them that they were going to pass his stories on to their kids, but now they have to remove his books because of this.

:mjlol:It’s like okay what are we doing here.

I know you said it wasn’t on some cancel culture shyt and You have every right to not listen to him anymore or feel like his music doesn’t hit the same


But I can’t live like that anymore (because I used to) . Kanye’s music is part of my life, memories, and moments growing up— not Kanye himself.

Kanye was never all that to me, I actually thought son was a bit overrated to a degree :manny:. After the first few albums I rocked with a handful of tracks here and there.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy / Watch the Throne is the cutoff point for me. When he became a gospel rapper I flat out ignored his albums. Not gonna lie I tried that Vultures 2 album and dropped it. As an artist he just grew in a different direction. If he went back to College Dropout/ Late Registration/ Graduation style I could listen again but he seems more like 808 & Heartbreaks now. Not interested.

Rap is so personal, I get you OP kinda hard to separate the art from the artist, in the context of hip hop.

I don’t personally care, he’s still my all time favorite artist but I can see how someone would
