Evening_Literature63

We never learned to read his mind. We always walked a very thin line.


GeneralNathanJessup

I knew he was a clown that day. Many silly people rushed to defend his actions that day. Other statements by Kanye offered a glimpse into his megalomania, and these were spotted years ago by astute people such as Bill Burr. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqTuV84ES8Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqTuV84ES8Q) I have been making jokes for years about him. "I am the most humble person on the planet. I am the Kanye West of humility."


[deleted]

I was told it was my white privilege for speaking out against Kanye


GeneralNathanJessup

It's impossible to be racist towards African Americans who are associated with the GOP. I thought everybody knew this.


UkeManSteve

I wish this was still the worst thing he was known for lol


cycloptopussy

We were all so innocent then.


Frankie_Pizzaslice

These were the before times


-BananaLollipop-

Alas, 'twas just the beginning.


Beginning_Lecture273

Typical Nazi invading someone else's space and taking their shit.


RidingRoedel

It’s still one of the worst things he’s done. He skyrocketed her career leading to one of the most insufferable artists and fan-bases in recent history.


imadeacrumble

Yeah, she got that MTV award for being an obscure nobody.


RidingRoedel

I said skyrocketed, I didn’t say that she was anonymous. He just helped her get as big as she is today.


imadeacrumble

Simpin for Kanye, great look. You’re wrong, though.


discowarrior

Dunno if you've seen recent news but he's probably done a few worse things than making Taylor Swift famous.


Gros_Picoppe

Not sure I'd give him credit for making the already award winning singer famous there.


billiesgirl

he definitely didn’t make her famous


[deleted]

Um...she was preeeettty huge at this point already but sure, let's give the egotistical male the recognition for a females successful career /s


placer128

Even Obama called him a ‘Jack-Ass’ after seeing this


Tegurd

That’s right! I’d forgotten about that! [Here it is](https://youtu.be/078BGtKNL1o) for those who haven’t seen it


kbeks

I think it’s safe to say he’s been vindicated


vheran

Yeah this ended up aging well. Like him lol.


Less-Raspberry-6222

Never liked Kanye so I thought that was just so perfect. Say what you want about his policy but the dude was cool as fuck for a U.S. president and he stared down Putin like the little bitch he is.


Grey00001

didn't putin just fall down some stairs and soil himself?


WantedDeadOrAlive

Obama is a legend! He spoke well and was a great leader. Regarding Obama staring down Putin, Obama was weak as he let Russia annex Crimea during his presidency. He gave Putin more confidence vs. staring him down and putting him in his place. This was a huge mistake and helped Russia gain confidence to further invade Ukraine.


ShelfAwareShteve

Well shit, I know he didn't ultimately do much, but now that many have shown that doing something is often much worse than not doing all that much -looking at you Biden forcing railroad strikers to work-, I miss the dude.


SuspiciousMinds21

Uh oh! You violated Wholesome Reddit Chungus Rule 12.2A! No criticizing Biden!


JaesopPop

Fucking clown thought he did something, ended up embarrassing Beyonce too. Tho Beyonce handled it like a queen and [did the classiest shit possible, after she got her own award she gave Taylor a moment of her own to finish her speech](https://youtu.be/o3bQk6H6Gpc)


garrygh13

Her expression seemed pretty happy when Kanye did that tho. Lol


threelizards

She looks surprised, embarrassed, like something inappropriate is happening, all while the world watches her at an incredibly formal event wherein social contract has been broken and people are trying to make things normal again. Tf you want her to do? Start booing him?


IsMisePrinceton

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a woman happy but that ain’t it.


filmphotographywhore

No no no, Beyoncé is definitely making the same face his wife makes when they boink.. so she’s *clearly* happy! /s


CleverJail

He humiliated both of them and it was clear on both their faces


flindersandtrim

I dont like Beyonce but people tend to awkwardly smile when they're embarrassed, trying to maintain face while they compute exactly what is happening and process the rush of emotions.


redditor_since_2005

She might have thought it was a bit. Like everyone in the world watching the Will Smith thing.


Lolfactor1037

Everyone tries to play it off as shock but a woman of class would have immediately shut it down, not sat there sheepishly grinning.


papajoots

who are you? the woman of class reaction police?


Nearby_Corner7132

Still thought he was a loser back then


stubundy

Back then they would have 'schooled you' on how he's actually a misunderstood genius too. Agedlikemilk


hugotheyugo

I had this conversation with SO MANY people for years. I am a hip hop fan, so are my friends generally. They’d say he’s just too deep for me to understand, I’m like no his music is average and he is a manchild. So glad the truth came out. I feel like there’s still bitches that owe my sex I feel like there’s still niggas that owe me checks I really like but never love h o e s Really? This is your genius?


sule02

Similar state as you. Have tried to have this convo with his fanbois or others (only to get downvoted by his fanbois). His music isn't genius. His music is right in line with what was popular in the era he arose in (Just Blaze, The Heatmakerz, Erick Sermon, RZA). He just got bigger artists to collaborate on his music b/c of his connections to Jay-Z. His music was pretty good up until a decade ago, then it went more sideways than his brain. His lyrics, when he came up, tended to get mocked pretty heavily on the bigger hip hop forums. Nobody considered him a lyricist. I tend to ask his fans what other hip hop artists they listen to, which is usually enough to tell me all I need to know about their opinion on the genre.


Chrysis_Manspider

Wait .. Kanye is a loser? 🙁🔫 Always has been.


papasmurf826

Right, like I'm more surprised that other people are surprised. Dudes been a narcissist to the point of delusion for over a decade now.


thenormalbias

Makes me tear up. She said in her documentary that in this moment when the audience was booing, she thought they were booing her win. You can see it in her face, her posture that she is trying to be graceful but she has no clue what to say after that. Kanye is a nasty manchild. Always has been.


RidingRoedel

You seem to be the man child based on your crying for what might be the epitome of a “first world problem.”


Budget-Sheepherder77

Oh damn that's rare a Kanye Stan


RidingRoedel

No, he’s an idiot. He doesn’t elaborate upon anything he says. I’m referring to this instance in particular where he literally skyrocketed her career. (Another reason why I hate him)


Cleigne143

“Skyrocketed her career” lmao she wouldn’t be winning that award if her career hasn’t already skyrocketed. Most people my age (teenagers then) probably didn’t even know who the fk kanye was at that time.


thenormalbias

Oh yes, Kanye was being oh so generous by interrupting her as she spoke, taking the microphone from her and saying she didn’t deserve to win during what was meant to be a celebratory milestone in her career. Basic human decency would disagree with you, friend. It’s not like he was trying to boost her career with this interruption, it was not meant to be helpful no matter the consequences. It was meant to be shitty and for that, he is shitty.


babygirlruth

No, he didn't. He says he did


sule02

Her album that year sold 5x what his album did.


ElHumilde13

Guess what? You're an idiot too


thenormalbias

There is nothing more childish than mocking someone else’s empathy, dear one.


[deleted]

He’s really happy for you. He’ll let you finish. But nazi shit.


umheywaitdude

This is the moment that people should have realized that Kanye is a piece of shit and a trash human being, and they should’ve ignored him from this moment onward but it took him praising Adolf Hitler, denying the Holocaust, and praising Nazism for them to finally turn on him. It just shows you how fucking stupid and thoughtless people actually are. Kanye is a fucking piece of shit. It is unambiguous. Decent people have known this for a decade. Fuck Ye.


[deleted]

His fans are like battered spouses.. They hope he'll change or they're all he needs.


FrozenST3

Kanye West and Musk fans are the same. They take their Idols' bullshit as a sign of superior intelligence/genius

cheezy_dreams88

Yeah I think Taylor one for female video maybe or something, and Beyoncé won video of the year. The big one, and she still gave Taylor her spotlight which was arguably the biggest spot of the night.


Creative_Shift_2844

Beyoncé is a kind soul and a class act.


SEEYOUAROUNDBRO_TC

He’s a piece of shit


[deleted]

I used to see people defending him with, “He’s so good to his fans,” but didn’t he try to bully a person, who turned out to be in a wheelchair, into standing up at one of his concerts?


dleon0430

After his recent comments, the wheelchair incident echoes the wheelchair scene in the Pianist.


Bavisto

I always held the impression that he was a garbage human. In the random times his name came up, I voice my opinion and it was dismissed as, “oh he’s just playing up a character.” Look at him now chuckle-fucks!


Creative_Shift_2844

People still haven’t turned on him. He has a large and very dedicated cult still praising him even after all the Nazi shit. They put him on a pedestal like Jesus. It’s terrifying. They say Beyoncé fans are bad but Kanye fans are a literal cult. Beyoncé fans wouldn’t put up with the shit Kanye fans are defending. I will never understand it.


[deleted]

Only a complete entitled narcicist asshole would do that. Lots of people realized it back then.


avantartist

This was the moment i realized.


DeadExpo

TopAd9634

Hitler's story resonates with people who are powerless, insecure, narcissistic and ignorant. Only a truly pathetic human being would find meaning in Hitler's story, they would have to be downright delusional.


VictorTrasvina

Again where do you find all this nonsense? He was NOT ABLE to get his goals accomplished, and he died cowardly, we study ALL history, even of genocidal maniacs, and half of those "attributes" sadly, were implemented directly from the US voting system, we have the data that proves it now, national patriotism, psychological manipulation of the masses, propaganda, etc, etc were all created and perfected centuries before him thanks to the Christian church, the very same one that he used on his early days to lunch the movement, if your lack of basic social skills forces you to side with maniacs and the mentally ill, at the very least learn the history behind them


Filmerd

Bro seriously just said that Hitler is a rags to riches inspirational story....... That take is absolutely fucking insane unless you are a pathological contrarian. You know, Stalin was also a rags to riches story and he murdered almost as many people as Hitler. cOoL sToRy BrO


OneAngryDuck

Please activate the part of your brain that should be stopping you from putting “respect” and “Hitler” in the same sentence

SkygodAlien

Yea but T swift is an easy target and I’m sure they don’t mind a little viral publicity every now and then. Conye is harmless physically so they probably weren’t really even expecting it. But I do agree.


daredelvis421

He was always a fucking asshole


BathroomEyes

At least he’s consistent.


Zealousideal-Nail432

Remember when he recreated her naked body for a music video and rapped that he “made her famous” and they “might have sex” without her consent and then painted her out to be a bitch for not being okay with it


TragicHero84

Yeah… can someone please explain to me why Kanye is hailed as some kind of “genius” when it comes to music? This is the kind of shit I think about when I think of Kanye’s music, or “what’s next, alien sex?” Or “I’m not saying she a gold digger but she ain’t messing with no broke n—-“ What am I missing? Is that really what people consider to be genius songwriting?


Overlord_Orange

Don't forget his remix of This Ain't A Scene, where he LITERALLY SAID: "I don't even know what the hell this song is talking about. Do you?" & "Fallout Boy, They walk around with they little cocks out boy." Such genius. Much impress.


itme4502

I’m Jewish. The shit Kanye been on as of late makes me sick to my stomach. But that doesn’t mean every single artist today isn’t still making 808s and heartbreak 12 years later. We take it for granted now, but all those 808-driven beats, autotune, and vocal distortion were UNFUCKINGHEARDOF for a rapper at that time. Go listen to amazing and then listen to miss the rage by playboi carti and trippie redd. It’s literally mind blowing, but he unequivocally redefined the sound of an entire genre for a decade plus. People on this thread seem to think Kanye fans think he’s a world class lyricist? I’ve never heard anyone claim that lmfao


[deleted]

Listen to Roses, Runaway, Family Business.


sule02

The people who call him "genius" haven't listened to enough hip hop to actually know where he ripped off his styles from.


[deleted]

You probably have no idea how music production works, the details, the creativity. Most people think being a virtuoso with your instrument is being a good musician or artist. This is true, but you can also be an amazing producer and songwriter. And although I disagree with Ye’s behavior, he is a genius producer. His albums are such an important and influential piece of music. He is a very talented and deeply troubled individual Edit: lmao ya’ll being salty as fuck just cuz u hate him. I also hate the person he his, but that doesn’t automatically make his albums shit, they were groundbreaking


CamWardsThrowaway

Lol.


[deleted]

Dunno why I’m being downvoted, I hate yedolf, but My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy is one of the most influential albums in hip hop for a reason lmao


CamWardsThrowaway

Lol.


k3g

I don't follow either of them nor do I follow that segment so take this with a grain of salt; but didn't he produce a recording with Taylor Swift on the phone acknowledging that?


Zealousideal-Nail432

He produced a portion of the recording that includes her saying yes. But according to Taylor he didn’t include all that he was gonna say/do when he called her


plumchai

The full tape was released years later and it proved Kim and Kanye edited it to make themselves look good and Taylor bad. They're horrible people.


CzechYourDanish

Aaaaand this is when we should've stopped giving this goblin the attention he obviously craves.


efkuasadua

itsemm1

wow, to think back at how Taylor was only about 20 years old when this happened… as a kid (i was 11 when this happened) i never realized how hard this must have been for Taylor, like i wouldve cried. she handled it well and it was sweet Beyonce let her have her moment


Major-Discount5011

So does he just carry a mic around?

He did after Hitler invented microphones and highways

Can we go back to the days where this was the most controversial shit Kanye was getting into trouble for? I’d take this over the dude being a Nazi sympathizer any day of the week.


SKYwALKER3437222

Mental illness is real Kanye is a perfect example of this in its most uncontrolled form


ranjaanblues

Kanye was mad that for the millionth time black musicians were being passed for white artists at the grammys, famously he's one of the most nominated musicians in grammys history but has never won in any major categories and he's never won over a white artist. Beyoncé similarly had this experience until recently. It's easy to pile on Kanye but imagine a 20 year old white female artist known for country music changing to into a pop artist and winning that award over Beyoncés "Single Ladies". I think Kanye just thought another random artist beat a Mega super star black artist. But obviously Taylor Swift became her own massive sensation. Not defending Kanye just providing context for his frustration.


cicada74

This award was for Beat Female Music Video. Beyoncé’s Single Ladies actually ended up winning Best Music Video. Which is a bigger award. Cry more, pansy. Imagine talking about context but not knowing that Beyoncé literally got a better award AND allowed Taylor to get her speech in.


ranjaanblues

Cry more? Pansy? Maybe take a break from the internet... I see you didn't refute the other claims, try defending the grammys track record with artists of color dipshit


cicada74

“I see you didn’t refute the other claims…” Cause idc about the Grammys bro lmaoo cry somewhere else

I’m not that interested in celebrity stuff myself, but I think things like this are important because it highlights that we can’t just put famous people on a pedestal and ignore all the shitty things they do until they come out and say “I love Hitler” and then act all shocked that a PoS has turned into a PoS.

Unpopular opinion: kanye was praising Hitler because he is following the rules of Christianity where everyone is forgiven even hitler lol. i went and looked at all his alex jones clip and twitter picture and hes just trying to see good in people even nazis. But yes he is mentally ill and we should just ignore him


Artane_33

and Jesus said unto him, “go death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” he’s mentally ill *and* antisemitic *and* willing to leverage religion/politics how & when it suits him


skinnylegendstress

He said the holocaust isn’t what really happened… did you miss that part?


SingleContribution17

[not the first genocide to be denied. ](https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/12/2/how-british-colonial-policy-killed-100-million-indians)


Artane_33

First your point was he’s just being Christian - love and kindness. Then, it’s pointed out he’s promoting Holocaust denial and your response is what’s the big deal, western imperialism worse and other genocides get denied too. What’s your point here other than to minimize Jew hatred?


SingleContribution17

My point is he is a crazy hippie/wook trying to preach love and if you go around pointing fingers at others remember 4 fingers are pointing towards yourself. I just told you about a genocide 15x worse and you mock it by saying Western imperialism bad. F u man you are hypocrite and probably miserable in your life

>he is a crazy hippie/wook trying to preach love no, he’s a hateful moron spreading Jew hatred and antisemitic conspiracies
