and that excuses it being basura because...??? Crazy people can release trash, tooit's an album about mental illness. why is that so hard to understand
this is a really sickening post.and that excuses it being basura because...??? Crazy people can release trash, too
hi, having a mental illness doesn't make you a crazy personand that excuses it being basura because...??? Crazy people can release trash, too
yeah, it's probably the best thing about the album (i think the actual music is super eh)
no one forgot about it. sometimes great artists have shitty opinions, christ.
anyway. listening again. this is an important, significant album. not just the music
total nonsense.Its not like Kanye woke up one morning and decided to love Trump. His whole world-view is that internal process is more important than external reality. Who cares how Trump actually impacts the world when endorsing him makes Kanye feel good and empowered? People supporting this album can't avoid endorsing that perspective.
It's his shitty opinions that are making me not listen to this album and just lurk this thread. He's one of my favorite artists so it hurts a lot lol. Some people never made the commitment, so saying they forgot is off base. They don't care and never did, so I don't see the point in arguing about it here. They know full well what happened and aren't changing their minds.Man folks were real quick to forget about Kanye's shitty opinions, huh? Has it even been a month?
I watched a bit of that interview with Charlamagne and there it seemed he was actually doing alright and not as "wild and crazy" I guess as he had been in some videos where he went "you don't kbow the answers Sway, I am the biggest rock star bla bla. What makes you say he needs help?
exactly. i'm not sure if people who haven't experienced manic depression can really understand this album fully. second listen has me in tears. i guess that just makes me one of those "crazy people" according to some dicks in this thread thoughthis is a really raw, intimate album. I've had my share of manic depressive episodes in my life and this album sounds like that. madness condensed in a way that doesn't make any sense and that scares you while going through it.
I think no matter what he does after this album this will always be viewed a hid worst record, but it's frightening and emotional in a way that I think is really special.

boring, redundant, and already feels irrelevant, which has never happened with a Kanye album until this year. No new ideas, nothing sonically interesting, no power behind any of the half-assed songwriting. Overlong despite being only 7 songs/20+ mins long. Like notes quickly written down on a napkin, but he submitted that as his thesis statement.I think the biggest sin of this album, unlike any other Kanye album, is that it's boring. There's a sad undercurrent to it and has some interesting ideas but overall nothing is really grabbing me.
Hmmexactly. i'm not sure if people who haven't experienced manic depression can really understand this album fully. second listen has me in tears. i guess that just makes me one of those "crazy people" according to some dicks in this thread though
I've suffered from manic depression for the last four years. I legitimately question my life worth every day and I have very few people in my life I can confide in.exactly. i'm not sure if people who haven't experienced manic depression can really understand this album fully. second listen has me in tears. i guess that just makes me one of those "crazy people" according to some dicks in this thread though
man, ghost town goes from pretty rad to what the hell is this in like twenty seconds
I love how the haters were hoping for this album to show that Kanye ACTUALLY is a talentless bipolar hack and would make an album even more embarrassing than his recent quotes or that time Damon Albarn had to become a fucking cartoon character to still be successful, only for this album to be a full on hard thick as a beer can cock parade of greatness in the vein of Enter the Wu-Tang, only that it somehow has even more to say.

Anyone who's even willing to listen to it. Truly seems like Kanye West is someone anyone is willing to forgive.

it's about kanye being kanye being bipolar. the lyrics and the album art aren't meaninglessThis album is still a trashfire. It's not about manic depression. It's about Kanye being Kanye.
As someone with a 2 year old daughter, Violent Crimes had me near sobbing on the drive into work

Separate artist from art ? That is just code word for people not caring or not wanting to confront that that thier favorite aritst is fuckin full of shit. Just come out and same that you don't care about what Ye but don't give people that bs.These posts are terrible. You're free to write him off for the Trump shit. But you should go back to your holes if you really think people aren't capable of separating the art and artist, you may not be, and that's okay toot. Not just that, I could give a fuck about Trump and politics. I'm here for music. Implying that me listening to the album somehow means I support or endorse Trump is not only disingenuous, it's fucking stupid. Pull your head out of your ass.
