Kanye West's new 2018 album

flopsy... let's keep it PG-13, ok?

*empty* skull then, perhaps.

He also said something like 'TMZ is the hospital to fix the world. Obama was our opioids'

he's such an idiot why are we even listening to him? why do we just listen to idiots now?

just read another thing where he said something like if it was him he would have trump for his campaign and Bernie sanders for his principles

Suggest that the "Shut up, Morrissey" t-shirt lady diversify into "Shut up, Kanye" merchandise

Kanye is almost literally living this still-hilarious tweet

STEPHEN A: Skip I want to ADDRESS this issue.
[BAYLESS nods]
You KNOW I am sensitive to the Holocaust
BAYLESS: Absolutely
STEPHEN A: BUT!

well trump has no pribciples, and collusion and hacking, etc, certainly turned out to be a canny campaign strategy. See you in prison, ye!

feels like we've been sucked tron style into a compaq presario abandoned at a barstow self storage facility and kanye is a "russian bot".

kanye west? kanrayde eastern bloc morelike amirite

i just think some celebrities, like bieber, simply cannot fathom that even after all the fame and all the money there still appear to be "shouldn't"s

this bathroom emergency cord says "only pull in case of emergency"? then i'm gonna fuckin pull it now, you can't tell me what to do. not realising that the "shouldn't" is there to save you from becoming a monster-baby

since you brought it up though I prefer Bieb's "FUCK Bill Clinton" to this by a factor of infinity

Woke up this morning and realized what Kanye really needs to do is record an improvised duo album with Flea. You know, to truly be free.

I know I know for sure
Ding dang dong dong ding dang dong dong ding dang
I know I know its you
Ditty scoop scoopity poop dip ditty oop

flopsy... let's keep it PG-13, ok?

Inevitable...

West/Corgan '20

Our current political era is neatly summed up by Alex Jones approvingly turning Kanye West quotes into memes and stamping them with the Infowars logo, and Roger Stone faving them on Instagram. pic.twitter.com/9GEXdVFwFq

Denied by Candace and Kanye. They’re not showing up.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA):

Asked by a Politico writer about West, Waters stated, "Kanye West is a very creative young man. … But we also think that sometimes West talks out of turn and perhaps he needs some assistance in helping him to formulate some of his thoughts. We don't think that he actually means to do harm, but we're not sure he really understands the impact of what he’s saying, at the time that he’s saying it and how that weighs on, particularly the African-American community – and for young people in general."

She continued: "I understand that he is getting pushback from a lot of young people on the internet … but we're hopeful that his creativity will continue to be demonstrated in his work. And I think maybe he should think twice about politics – and maybe not have so much to say."

When you've lost a towering intellect like Waters, you may have finally gone too far.

the xtina single he produced and co-wrote is not good

"Young man"? Dude is 40!

which is half her age

this is fun to read, but also doesnt change the fact that he sucks

Get your tinfoil hats and red string, I’ve got a conspiracy theory: @kanyewest is in the middle of a performance art piece and the clues are right in front of us. A thread:

here's a conspiracy theory: maybe we don't have the full context of that conversation and TMZ/everyone/et all are just printing $ w the usual "this guy are crazy"

here's a conspiracy theory: kanye is a dumbass

jackass

I haven't watched it but full context is available here fwiw: http://www.tmz.com/2018/05/02/tmz-live-kanye/

Floppy man take it easy (tie)

Written by the same guy who gave TLOP a 9

you can believe all the things said in that piece and still think that TLOP is a good album

Except that he didn't give TLOP a 9. Pitchfork did.

we all gave pablo the nine we deserved

you can even read the piece and think he still thinks so

it's a fine piece and Greene is a v good writer

jayson’s great. his piece is p much the only one about kanye in the past week that hasn’t annoyed me with the constant handwringing (cf. the ringer aka the handringer)

if you love then you handwring on it

It was a great piece. I almost posted on my wall but I'm trying to avoid posting stuff about KW.

To be fair, I didn't agree with the 9.0 - TLOP is where I definitively realized that this wasn't a ride I really needed to be on. The truth of that album is probably better embodied in this piece, from before we knew what TLOP would actually be.

(And yes, I know I, am out in the wilderness in a minority who believe that TLOP is a handful of flashes of guiltily entertaining/semi-inventive fun surrounded by a ton of chaff.)

Yeah it's pretty uneven

no i think you see it clearly raymond

TLOP the only Kanye I don't think I've ever heard. I think I only heard Yeezus once and it sort of bugged me. So in my mind, My Beautiful Dark Twisted So-Called Life was the end of the Kanye ride. FWIW, my daughter, who I don't think has so much as said the name Kanye before yesterday, brought me over to her phone to play what is I guess is his new single, mostly because she thought it was so stupid she wanted me to hear it.

only time I listened to Yeezus I remember one of the tracks cutting into this tight little knotty instrumental bit and thinking that was really fascinating. then the bit kept going and going, until finally I realized that my iPod had glitched out and cut into a Field Music album. which it has never done before or since. I decided to just listen to the rest of that and never really wanted to hear Yeezus again

The Poopity Scoop one or the one of him debating politics with TI?

Yeezus is maybe my favorite thing he's done tbh, particularly the first half. MBDWF has a few great tracks and a lot of whatever. TLOP straight up sucked.

xpost I think it was the Poopity Scoop one. That seems like something that would scan as stupid to her.

She was all, "dad, you've got to hear this?" So I ask, "what?" And she says it's the Kanye West song. And I tell her I am pretty tired of Kanye West. And she says, no, you have to hear this! So I walk over and she holds up her phone and I hear him all "poopity scoop" or whatever and I say, oh, that, yeah, I heard people talking about that. And she was cracking up.
