I haven't watched a Kanye interview in a while, but his voice sounds like he's nervous as shyt and about to cry . I know he aint but it seems off. He did seem genuinely fukked off with Jimmy though.

That second half of the interview was actually some real talk though.

It's still Jimmy Fellon >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jimmy Kimmel, I don't really find duke funny.

Jimmy Fallon is the epitome of corny. The only thing that saves his show for me is The Roots.

Fvck every CAC that hates on Kanye, He's the only real legend left, he's in the same boat as The Marleys, Jacksons, 2pac, Biggie he's on that level.


All these other celebrities just play along and say shxt y'all wanna here but in reality are fake as fvck

nikka get off that bullshyt.

I think Kanye is pulling a masterful move right now. He is protecting himself from the white establishment and ensuring nothing will happen to him or his family. Get the media on your side so they won't kill you Ye! Ye wasn't combative at all during the interview, even had crowd clapping for him and his opinions. Raise you kid Kanye you are safe and clear for now.

No. The media will go harder at him when they see that he's docile and he's so self conscious about how they depict him. No matter what, they'll try to destroy him regardless of how he acts.

 

[Higher Tech]

I respect his words on that interview.

I watched his interview and I also took time to download and listen to his earlier interview. I think dude is on point on a lot of things, as a Black man you are told by your parents, family, other Black men, Black females, and society in general that you have to stay in a particular box and meet certain identity "expectations" and that can be overwhelming and burdensome,especially if you don't have a proper channel/outlet. Kanye wants to do whatever he wants regardless of anyone else's expectations for him, and I absolutely respect and admire that.

But what I take issue with is his sense of entitlement as it relates to the respect the fashion industry should/has given him. Fashion is like other industries where connects, trends, and great advertising/gimmicks can unfortunately often overcome originality and more importantly quality. But the thing is Kanye is mediocre when it comes to fashion design, he seems to be getting his inflated sense of talent because he is a big fish in a small pond in the realm of hip-hop style/fashion. That A.P.C. collection was trash, and this is coming from someone who has owned their clothing and usually likes their pieces.

Kanye is also the wrong messenger for pointing out the role of race/classism in fashion imo, it would be great if it was someone like Ozwald Boateng because Boateng can actually say he is on the same level or better than some of the more famous designers out there. This is like a dude who is complaining about discrimination in admissions policies in law schools but has a 2.1 GPA and 143 LSAT score, yeah the complaint may be valid but do you actually want someone who is obviously mediocre serving as the main voice on the issue?

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

Watch from 9:00 on in the 2nd video and tell me this dude isn't in the closet. He's as hell.

 

[Poitier]

Have admirations of being 2Pac and spitting that revolutionary dream with a sense of fashion while selling people $120 undershirts, brehs.

Sound like a broke nikka problem to me.

 

[aRoMaN21]

did he go to speech therapy? i only ask cuz he was in the accident and maybe it effected his speech all these years and he finally got help?

cuz im on the way he speaks now.

 

[KatieGotAzzHairs]

Yeah I guess when Pee Wee Herman and Donald Trump have a star, I find it hard to take the shyt that serious

Im sure if the other Actors and celebs dont care about them... THen they can get over Kim Kardashian having a star...

We overrate "Acting" in this country anyways to be honest. To me, the skill of acting is about as impressive as being "double-Jointed"(I stole that from Neal Brennan's podcast, he made a really good point when discussing John Hamm talking down on Mike the Situation)

It is pretty stupid that actors don't respect reality tv stars for being on reality tv as if they are somehow above them, when all they do is read lines that someone else wrote... Id even say it is more impressive that a reality tv star created their own character, their own lines, found their own niche as opposed to having something created for them.

The true talented people in Hollywood are the writers(and ofcourse directors), But actors/actresses to me are in no position to look down on anyone just because they are in scripted movies or tv shows... But I guess that is the way it is... I would be willing to bet you guys are making the stars come off more sacred then they actually are. I bet Leo could give a fukk about a Star on the Hollywood walk of fame

As someone who's worked on the crew of movies and TV both big budget and small budget and sat in casting meetings and auditions I think you're underrating acting. You would be surprised how seemingly charismatic people normally lack the basic ability to deliver a simple set of lines without sounding like a busted robot. There are actors I've seen who bring no life to the words on the page, who sound like they're rambling on a late night C-SPAN broadcast. They can't deliver the context or subtext of the lines, they put no emotion or power behind their words and they fail to deliver anything believable. Some of these are actors who attended some very good schools to be classically trained. By contrast I've seen actors who deliver powerful performance, who can make just two lines of dialogue stand out in just stunning and remarkable ways, and who give great depth and life to characters, even when the character is totally different from who they are as a regular person.

As for your point on Kim in the walk of fame, I'd say Vince McMahon and Trump being on it work in her favor. I can't see many actors or directors being too upset about her inclusion, maybe media types. Hell, you yourself could nominate her, she just needs to have some charitable contributions (a requirement) and 30,000 to pay for the ceremony if she's selected.

 

[OG Talk]

this nikka said "the Steve Harvey Collection"

Instead of laughing at Steve and all the buttons on his jackets he needs to see if he can invest in some of his ideas..Instead of going with hat in hand begging crackers that dont even respect him for hand outs...



I'm not a huge Steve Harvey fan but he's actually doing some of the things Ye is whining about not being able to do...

This is why I agree with the comparison that Neal Brennan made that acting is about as impressive as someone being "double jointed"... It is definitely impressive that someone can rotate their joints in ways that others cannot... But in the grand scheme of things... It really isn't that impressive... It is interesting that you note that some actors that are classically trained are about as dull as a C-SPAn anchor... Kind of enhancing my point that a lot of times acting is something you either "have or you don't have it"... Kind of like being double jointed

The people who should have a "walk of fame" are people like Scientists, Humanitarians, Missionaries, etc...

I don't think Actors and Actresses can look down on Reality TV stars when in the grand scheme of things, their "talent" means squat....

Don't get me wrong... I love the art of theatre and entertainment... But it is way to worshipped in our country, and around the world as well I guess..

 

[Jack Don the G]

Started watching and had to refresh 5 mins in. Turns out youtube have removed it... re up anyone?

 

[L. Deezy]

Kanye needs to intern in fashion.. if thats what he wants so bad. Im talking about for the scale he wants. (not just having a name attached to a line for H&M or whatever)

chill on music and intern your way up. learn to sew and draw. Other than that, stfu nygga.

Ya'll keep bringing up Boateng (well Kanye did) but dude can TAILOR.. lol He can do all that shyt himself.

nygga took time out to learn a MPC and Keyboard programming.

it basically sums him up as I think about it.. He's a halfway type dude. Learn the shyt out of a MPC but cant play an instrument

knows fashion somewhat but cant draw or sew..

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

no you fakkit idiot you dont get it so shut up about it fakkit idiot

so real.

 

[pickles]

I think Kanye is pulling a masterful move right now. He is protecting himself from the white establishment and ensuring nothing will happen to him or his family. Get the media on your side so they won't kill you Ye! Ye wasn't combative at all during the interview, even had crowd clapping for him and his opinions. Raise you kid Kanye you are safe and clear for now.

Nikka what the fukk are you even talking about? They will go in on him seeing that he is so sensitive. Do nikkas need to be reminded of the rules of battle again? Never expose your weak side to the enemy. That Kim heifer is part of the white devils too, don't get it twisted, bytch is going to get paid. She gonna make sure nikka pays for it for a least 18 years.
