I think it's hilarious hearing black people lament and whine about racism but they fukk white people and most of their business endeavors are with white people. It's the funniest shyt ever.

We have no choice, stupid nikka. They have all the resources. Black isolationism is a myth.

No I am not. Mainly because he didn't write this article and I am writing off the author, not Kanye. I buy his albums and enjoy his music quite a bit. I just have no time to read someone try to spin his ego by trying to compare him to Ray Charles or Michael Jackson when neither one ever pulled the antics he has to boast for self.

you just were dismissive because of your perception of his ego again

third times a charm next post? I'll keep my fingers crossed

He made himself that way and no he's not one of the most celebrated artist. What has he down to warrant that praise?

Read his bio, stupid nikka. Kanye is more accomplished than 99 percent of the artist you can name as his contemporaries.

"white artists are never lampooned for believing in themselves the way Kanye constantly is"

:wow:

Except

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_popular_than_Jesus

"More popular than Jesus" was a controversial remark made by musician John Lennon of the Beatles in 1966. Lennon said that Christianity was in decline and that the Beatles had become more popular than Jesus Christ. When the quote appeared in the American teen magazine Datebook, angry reactions flared up from Christian communities in August 1966. Lennon had originally made the remark in March 1966 during interviews with Maureen Cleave on the lifestyles of the four individual Beatles. When Lennon's words were first published, in the London Evening Standard in the United Kingdom, they had provoked no public reaction.

When Datebook quoted Lennon's comments five months later, vociferous protests broke out in the southern United States. The Beatles' records were publicly burned, press conferences were cancelled and threats were made. The protest spread to other countries including Mexico, South Africa and Spain; there were anti-Beatles demonstrations and their music was banned on radio stations. The controversy erupted on the eve of the group's US tour, and the anger and scale of the reaction led their manager, Brian Epstein, to consider cancelling the tour.

Two press conferences were held in the US, where both Epstein and then Lennon expressed their regret at words taken out of context and offence taken. Christian spokesmen pointed out that Lennon had only stated what the church was itself saying about Christianity's decline. The US tour went ahead but there was disruption and intimidation, including picketing of concerts by the Ku Klux Klan, and at one concert the group mistakenly believed they were the target of gunfire.[1]

:umad: That's the whole point of the critique. We've all seen this before and in Kanye's case not only is it manufactured and forced it's also embarrassing.

Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of all kinds of people :why:

Kanye was ranting like a lunatic, and he is the type of nikka to overreact to anything negative... those are two GREAT reasons to mock him
he wasnt ranting like a lunatic in the interview. its about ppl not taking him seriously by white america. because he raised his voice in the interview he was "ranting like a lunatic?" im sorry you are unable to understand what he says but dont call hit crazy because you dont

You are trying really hard here to make this deeper than it is but it really isn't working breh. You can uncross your fingers since you are not going to spark a deep discussion when it was exposed as a marketing ploy.

I am dismissive of an article that someone else wrote trying to spin what Kanye West does into a narrative that makes no sense. That doesn't make me dismissive of everything Kanye does. If it was I wouldn't be a fan, I wouldn't buy his albums, and I wouldn't be going to his show out here with Kendrick Lamar.

kanye does a real live interview. his first in a loooong while. not a talk show. an interview where he uses his real voice, not a masked voice to appeal to others. and what happens? immediate insult.

After Spike Lee got nominated for an Oscar for Do The Right Thing he was getting lowballed by the studios for his Malcolm X budget...What did he do? He got on the phone with everyone from Oprah, Bill Cosby, Magic, Jordan and Janet Jackson and asked for funds and investment..


GUESS WHO MJ, MAGIC, AND OPRAH'S $$$ COMES FROM?

i cant believe that u really cant see any point in what she was tweeting about. To say "it makes no sense" is ridiculous, and once again you are dismissing kanye immediately by saying that

people choose different things to be passionate about, if you're expecting a musician to be the hero who rises up and saves the people in Chicago who have dedicated their lives to killing each other, you're just being unrealistic

why do you expect kanye to save the world? what's wrong with you?

he's a creative. he went to art school. And because of his skin color his ability to create is often mocked and dismissed. that's the point. shut up about the ills of something he has little to do with
Dude told Kimmel he was Pac, let's take a gander at what Pac was passionate about shall we?



This is my problem with Kanye, Wayne, 50 and all the other nikkas that want to be like Pac. If you want to be like Pac then have empathy for the struggle. Actually give a fukk about the poor Blacks in the Ghetto. Kanye don't give a fukk about anybody except Kanye. He ain't doing shyt to address the Genocide in Chicago. Why care about a nikka that only cares about gay fashion?

You think Kanye doesn't have the start up capital and connections to open a small factory, pay black designers, create an identical shoe that Nike did and have it distributed to the public on a small scale?

I mean he IS a GOD right? Sounds like a small thing to a giant to me.. :yeshrug:

Reminds me of the Killer Mike verse...

"My name is Michael Render/And we are the new Avengers
We're here to tell you all your false idols are just pretenders
They're corporation slaves indentured to all the lenders
So even if you got seven figures, you still a nikka"


That's why when people talk about Jay owning 1/10 of a percentage of an NBA team or being the front for a CAA Sports agency as sometype of win for black business I laugh...

I would rather see a Black man own 100% of a $500,000 enterprise than .5% of a billion dollar one...

Stop getting caught up with names like Nike, Gucci and Apple and create your own vision independently....Be No Limit Records...Period even if it fails...Not Jimmy Iovine and Warner Present "No Limit Records"

Get what I'm sayin?

I get you, I think he wants to make his own fashion design house but finds he can't because he's not taken seriously.
