Super minority opinion here because Kanye has alienated everyone in the world, but the dude has been obviously traumatized and suffers big time from some mental issues.

Well that's not the minority opinion, I think everyone agrees with that, but the song he put out (I listened to the above, assuming it's him and not AI or fake) is actually pretty brave and not a "dissing himself". It sounds like a cry for help for sure (10 percs, etc.) but also maybe therapeutic in the sense of letting go some of that heavy trauma and hoping to get som healing or something from it. And it's SUPER vulnerable in a way that is nearly impossible for most of us to fathom. Now 10x how you imagine, and imagine being in the black community and the hip hop community which is going to be vicious I would imagine.

Agree with all of this.  Dude is off his rocker and needs major help.

I'm not going to share the link out of respect for the community but you can find a good version on x. 

It's exceedingly offensive but it's also one of the best things he's done musically in years. It's like he had to go all the way off the ledge to find himself again. 

I'm not condoning Nazism. I'm not a holocaust denier. Frankly I've always been pro Israel. But just - from a musical perspective? It's kind of brilliant. It's counterculture and punk and hip-hop to the extreme. It's freedom of expression pushed to the edge. 

Sue me, neg me, ban me - whatever. I'm never going to quit listening to what this dude puts out 🤷

Yea I’m not giving that a listen/view, fuck this freak.

I mean that's fine and I get it. 

He's the greatest artist of the 21st century for a reason. 

This is the most evocative, problematic, counterculture, offensive shit I've ever heard and at the same time I can't quit listening to it. 

It's so fucking bad and it's so fucking good at the same time. 

I swear to God this song has already made me question a lot of my personal beliefs and how I feel about a lot of the shit going on in the world right now. And not in a "let's kill all of the Jews" type of way. 

Before anyone comments on it conclusively I'd suggest you listen to it 10 or 12 times. If you can't do that then you weren't the audience anyway. 

Stuff like this is important but you can only listen to it on one platform.

He’s just a mentally ill person, it’s not that complex or avant garde anymore. Justify your fandom of a current Nazi all you want. I’m 100% not Kanyes target demo anymore and I’m ok with that.

This explains so much.
