Kanye West

[uh-oh]

how dope would sway be if he just worked him THO

im at the point where kanye is being kan-gay


i hear what he's been saying to this point. at the same time tho i think what sways asking is why don't he just do it like jay and dame did rocawear and that shit

but i think what kanye is saying is he wants it to have the quality and workmanship only available through the high end fashion dudes

so he's trying to get them guys to let him do his thing so that he isnt throwing millions of dollars into a hole for nothing

but yo he takes it way past conceited

he really thinks he's the SHIT. his production used to be nasty. everywhere else he's just competent, and it gases him up cuz he hasnt failed in any of his efforts

but he's failing doing this clothing shit

and he can't handle it

he needs beat up and humbled honestly. sway shoulda did it for hip hop

[DLB]

i just watched this

this nigga lost his voice saying "YOU AINT GOT THE ANSWERS SWAY"

hahahahahaha

i can't take kanye srs as an artist anymore, this is what happens when stans dickride someone so much

sway was about to put hands on this nigga and i've never seen sway talk in a different tone ever. like all that MTV shit, he had the same voice but once kanye was trying to go HAM, sway was bout to put on the gloves

Posts like this are why you're one of my favorite boarders.

Kanye needs to catch a fade, it will happen one day and when it does the world shall rejoice.

I actually feel kanye people say he's changed but to mehe's the still same dude when he was a nobody in chicago. It's just he's a somebody and has a new passion for fashion.

Listen to interviews with other rappers speak about kanye back when he was known just as aproducer people would tell him to quit rapping and stick to producing he came so far it's insipirational really. LISTEN TO HIS DEMO TAPES!

He's the same person he's just more focused in something else but he has larger voice now.who knows how many rants kanye has done back when he was trying to be accepted as rapper. if you read between the lines of college dropout and hear interviews with talib he sounds the same to me.

Kanye is a dreamer,optimist, and a futurist. he follows so much his intuition(god) and feeling that it's hard for him to connect with you pawns of society verbally.

[KennyCerealBowl]

And in a world where society loves to make social pariahs off people who follow their intuition fearlessly you have to fireback and reaffirm your self-worth. all successful people are conceited some conceal it but kanye doesn't thats why he's an insipiration.

It is about him trying to break in to a different industry but he sees it as similar to when he tried to break into music, which he was ultimately successful at.

He gets overexcited and doesn't communicate well but there are bits and pieces of what he talks about. And it also helps to know a bit about rap history. When he's talking about A&R producers during his early rap career, that's real. He was stuck as a producer for awhile. He was largely the mastermind behind The Blueprint by Jay-Z, he contributed a ton of beats to a ton of artists. But when he told people he wanted to rap, they told him he couldn't. He couldn't get a deal. And it was largely because he was not like other rappers at the time, who tended to be more "gangster" and didn't rap about the things Kanye rapped about.

It sounds egotistical when he says it, but he really was a game-changer when he finally got his shot. The guy is a musical genius. And My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was pretty much universally considered a masterpiece not just by rap critics but by MUSIC critics.

So since then he's basically been trying to break into the fashion world. It's something he's legitimately always been interested in. But he's facing the same roadblocks. Nike won't release the shoe he designed. One of the tracks on Yeezus, "I Am A God," he wrote after an influential fashion designer came up to him during fashion week in Paris. He said he would give Kanye a ticket to the major runway event if Kanye promised to never attend a fashion show again.

Kanye's attitude toward all of this has been basically "fuck you and fuck everybody." He basically believes that because he has money and what he calls his "genius" he can do anything. In his head, he is so close to being the world's next major fashion designer, but he needs the major labels and companies to work with him. Much like a young rapper needs a major label to put out a CD because without that you're basically a laughingstock. And of course with Kanye there's a racial component to it to because just about all the major fashion labels are run by white Europeans. So for him it's like, he has all this money and all this success, and he still feels like a slave.

Now, the average person just isn't going to connect with that, which is what Kanye just doesn't get. The average person, who is probably struggling with money, would say "just be happy with what you've got." The average person does not like people comparing themselves to gods. The average person does not like people comparing themselves to slaves. It's extremism at both sides.

It's interesting, I'm a fan of Kanye even though he says extremely ridiculous and arrogant things all the time. I remember in one interview with his mom she said that in kindergarten, the teacher said "he's not lacking for self-confidence, is he?" He was basically born like that. And it's probably grown exponentially now that he's had success. But at the same time it's hard to put yourself in his shoes. Basically he had a lot of people tell him he couldn't do something, and he proved them all wrong 1000x over. Now he has a lot of people again telling him he can't do something. And he thinks he deserves a shot to prove them wrong again. But he's really shitty at explaining all of this, and my guess would be probably has Aspberger's or a similar condition on top of everything else. It's understandable not to like his cockiness, but I think there is something admirable about not caring about what people think and trying to do something you believe in.

u were doing okay till bold

all the kanye stans say the same " you don't understand him" "you don't know what he's going through" like bitches say. dude is a musical genius who, because of said stans and fans, has transformed into from egomaniac to maniac w/ an ego, in the words of Big Ghost. Kanye's fashion sense and style tbh shouldn't be put up by anyone. he's trying to sell shit like man skirts(not fucking kilts) but won't branch off if no one else picks up his shit. dude can sell his shit on some Rocawear shit, as mentioned in the video or a post, but he's like "NO, IM YEEZUS, I NEED BIG NAMES EVERYTHING, MY SHIT WOULD SELL OUT ON THE FIRST 15 MINS" like he's some fashion icon when he rocks the most questionable shit. and it's not like he's trying to sell his shit to lower class people aka the majority, he's trying to make shit for the minority aka rich people, who wouldn't rock a Yeezy hand me down cause tbh what he wants to make looks like trash.

and if kanye didn't care what people thought, son wouldn't be doing rants all the time via twitter/music/radio, etc....


k im done caring about kanye again
