Has anyone been to the timeline where Kanye's insanity led him into a life of isolation and putting out really sick one man black metal albums? There's no way that that timeline is worse than the one that we're in. I think I would like to visit that timeline.

I wonder what the exact % of active Parler users are dyed-in-the-wool racists that are going to flip poo poo and head to Gab once a black guy owns it.

I was on it for a little bit until the week before J6 spying on chuds and I'm gonna go ahead and estimate, "a lot"

I’d like to see Parler get taken over by crazy black guys who have been voting for Haile Selassie as a write in every year since his death in 1975.

It was funny when Beck won that award and Kanye was gonna walk up and interrupt him but turned around and then Beck clowned on him a bit. And then Beck released Wow, a total pastiche on trap hip-hop with some lyrics I (am maybe reaching a bit but) can only interpret as "get help Kanye."

So Kanye was fine with bullying a white woman but the moment he tries to bully a white man, he chickens out? Sounds like he always considered white men to be superior to him.

His parents are scientologists, so he grew up with it but he isn't a scientologist anymore, which seems like a very Beck thing to happen.

Yeah, he wasn't super-public about renouncing Scientology (just like he wasn't super-public about being one in the first place), but he has confirmed that he's left that cult.

I'm a bit suspect of this because all he said in 2019 was "I think there's a misconception that I'm a Scientologist. I'm not a Scientologist. I don't have any connection or affiliation with it," which is strangely aggressive way to deny it when he outright called himself one 14 years earlier and it's well-known his parents were in for a long time (plus, people who actually divest themselves from the Church tend to have some things to say after leaving, it's rarely a cordial farewell). I think this might just be the Church's strategy lately, since the release of Going Clear and everything they've instructed some of their high-profile followers to disassociate; it's an open secret that Will Smith and his family are in but they've never outright admitted it.

Scilon or not, Beck is ten times the consummate artist that Kanye ever was. He might not have seen the limelight or wealth of a superstar rapper, but he's been around creating masterpieces since the mid-90s.

I listen to plenty of hip-hop. It's time to stop qualifying criticism against Kanye with horseshit like "he's the greatest artist of a generation," like he was ever on some sort of untouchable pedestal. There are plenty of contemporary artists who are at least on his level, but Beck can play at least a dozen different instruments and was genre-bending and cutting beats together with MPCs five years before Kanye even started making music.

anyone who brings up sales numbers as an argument for/against someone/something's artistic merit needs to take a step back. touch grass, as the whippersnappers call it, I believe
