Kanye West: King of the Sunken Place, "Watch the Throne"

[blastercombo]

Is Kanye even from the hood in Chicago? What hood is he from? Is he from the Chi like Chief Keef? I find it hard to believe that he grew up in the hood given that his mother was Phd and college professor.

No matter where he’s from he’s been a ***** boy since day 1. He wasn’t thuggin it up. Dude was the awkward boy

What is Kanye doing on TMZ?

saying everything i said in da political thread damn near a year ago, how my *** taste now?

 

[Majorbread]

Also how dude get lipo and still have a 6 pack of franks on the back his neck?

 

[PRIME]

Too many people called him a "genius" that's the issue.

I don't know who started it, or why it caught on, but its like people just kept it up.

Find it interesting that a lot of the feedback from leftys is telling Kanye to just shut up and stick to rap ...

I seem to recall a recent incident with another famous person where Rightys said shut up and stick to entertainment ... They were called racists, bigots etc. ...

Who said this though? Sounds like a massive reach.

"I said stupid **** and made myself a laughing stock before Kanye made it cool"

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Pharrell rarely gives speeches like this and he doesn't claim to be some deep thinker like this other dude but when Pharrell talks he actually has a point and makes sense.

Just one big ol rant

The victim mentality is strong with this one.

 

[mr jordan04]

Why do people invest so much time/energy into what Kanye West is spewing?

Huh?

 

[ninjahood]

Wish I could debate this **** boy. I'd rip him to shreds

Kanye said 400 years of slavery was a choice. LOL, sounds like that one step in dog poop.

 

[Bosa]

Kanye need to put that blunt down

I think what Kanye is doing is exactly what is needed ... He is forcing people to make a choice of whether you are going to continue to dwell on the past or live in the present ... It might sound insensitive, but the existence of slavery will not change, the broad cascading implications will not change ... And the only way to move forward is to assimilate and conquer from within ... As long as you use an excuse, you'll never make progress ...

It's a messed up approach, but the end game is what is needed ... People need to get mad, appropriately ...

reminds me of that news reporter telling Lebron to shut up and play basketball or something like that.

Yall still butthurt over Yeezy or naw?

i've seen it before on instagram (i believe theres a popular meme on it) + kanye said he was told this multiple times when he was trying to break into fashion.

edit* here's the vid

It is ok for people to disagree. It is ok that all black people don't feel the same way about every issue. Love

there goes that monolith talk again..

 

[Magic33]

There's this dangerous train of thought that simply being a contrarian equals free thought. You see it here and social media, now here's that crowd's king.

and people acting like he's actually provoking dialogue

 

[green rhino123]

Also dangerous to dismiss opposing views simply as contrarian or invalid.
Nullify the messenger & one doesn't have to deal with the message.

 

[rillo561]

Huh?

He's always in the political thread with this strawmen arguments and reaches to make it seem like the 'righty's' had it right all along, and he's being 'attacked' for his views.

Except nobody's doing this, this whole thread is full of rebuttals to kanye's own opinions. It's strange to see people conflate rebuttals to "shutting down the conversation" or in this case, "nullifying the messenger". Dude's free to talk all he wants and people are free to respond to what he says.
