Ye (Kanye West) vs. the People (T.I.) -- Kanye Seems To Profess Support For Trump, or at Least Anti-Democrat Sentiment (1 Viewer)

This is Kanye West's new song about his latent support of the Republican Party/disappoint with the Dem Party -- and Trump, assumedly. Huh. This seems significant, both musically and politically. Maybe this belongs in the PSF. If you want, move it there.

Is Kanye worth commenting on?  Yesterday he legit said that being enslaved was a choice. The guy is a clown.

I think that's because the story is a couple days old, GB.  Yesterday he went to TMZ and implied that 400 years of slavery was "a choice."  It did not go over well.

Kanye's not doing anything interesting here IMO. It's more absurd because it's Kanye and he's a black rapper who made Yeezus it's because funny to watch Charlie Kirk misquote lyrics on instagram. But it's the same nonsense about freedom that many people been spewing for at least a decade: confusing freedom of thought, speech and action with freedom of thought, speech and action free of response or consequence.

Oh, okay. I apologize for starting this thread if this was already news. People did not choose to be in the slave trade. That's absurd. 

Thanks. I won't delete and will leave up for discussion. I've had a busy couple of days and was surprised this wasn't news.

I think it's a good thread subject, but it should probably go on the politics subforum.  Also I think previous discussion of his recent weirdness was in the Kanye music thread maybe?

That's why? I thought it was just a sarcastic side-off about Puerto Rico. I remember you saying that and me liking it. I should be more on top of it. Thanks for checking my head. And this is fine in the PSF, which is where I just posted a recent song that deals with politics. I just figured this was bigger than that.

I get the feeling it's bigger on twitter and celebrity gossip sites than in "real news," so maybe here the right place for it.  Who knows?

I'm sure he'll move on to some other outlandish attention-seeking path soon. I suspect most people's biggest concern is not being able to enjoy his music as much knowing he's a such a dumb###. Or maybe that's just me.

You know what's crazy? Is that I took your recommendation of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...plus Eephus's draft pick of Nicki Minaj on Monster... and turned it into this internet cocktail. 

That's...no lie.  

eta* Plus, I think Power is the NHL background music for the playoffs. It's been a Kanye month, for sure, but it has nothing to do with right wing news for me. I don't even know left-wing news at this point.

I will say the same thing I have been saying for over a decade about him. Legendary producer, but not much of a rapper and even less of a person. He is having his Charlie Sheen moment now with #DragonEnergy being the new #Tigerblood.

I thought he was trolling with that single but then he dropped the slavery comments and him comparing himself to Harriet Tubman. Now I think he is either just really dumb and self absorbed or manic depressive egomaniac.

It doesn't seem like he's well. And that song sucks, irrespective of the views therein.
