I thought there was going to be some kind of retribution with how you started the sentence. Oop.
Like, I know it's easy to rag on Kanye because of his recent turn and because both of those tracks are utter shit, but <insert sliver lining here>.
Why is this so funny?
Everything before he starts scoopin de poop is pretty good
In keeping with Kanye, his music is best when he isn't in it
Yikes

People haven't realized that this song is just a way to be silly and put a smile on people with the lyrics. Because they're dumb, silly, you will repeat them, and will "lift" you up.
The beat is fire and upbeat.
This song is a solid 7/10
"Ye vs The People" is trash and I hope the song leads to Kanye doing an album about going full anti-trump little by little. Or at least leaning both sides.

But really, I just don't care for mainstream music. Don't have a spotify, don't listen to the radio, I just don't...care.
Of course some mediocre tunes have people forget the trash this clown really is, even in light of recent events. Never change people.
Who is Kanye West? Explain him to me plz
since you seem to know him better than anyone -_-

Yeah, I'm aware of that. That doesn't suddenly excuse your shitty social/political viewpoints. I feel for the guy because it obviously impacted him in a huge way. But how long are we gunna give him a pass for all the shit he says and does?
what shitty political viewpoints? the only political viewpoint he's made clear is that he supports gun control.
Wearing a MAGA hat is a political stance. Calling Trump his brother is a political stance. As is publicly commending Candice Owens.
Im sorry, but am I missing something?
We've been giving Kanye a pass?.....A pass to do what? (I keep hearing this statement all over the place, but I don't understand it)
What has Kanye been out here doing or saying, that the law doesn't allow?
What has Kanye been doing that's so disgusting and vile? What is this magical "pass" people seem to be giving him?
yes I saw. I haven't been taking any of his tweets seriously so I dunno what your point is there
A pass doesn't mean "he did something illegal and people don't care"; it means he's expressed shitty political views and people will still say stuff like "he doesn't mean it he's only trolling".
He can wear a fucking MAGA hat, rap with it on, have a track with TI defending his shitty viewpoints that harm people every single day, support conservative political voices/activists that blame black people for "self victimization", effectively dismissing real consequences the past has on the present.
Talks about loving people who have different views, dismissing legitimate struggles and feelings people have who are oppressed. I can go on and pull up all the shit he's done if you want but most of it is on his Twitter.
Declared that he would have voted for Trump had he voted (months ago).
So I'm not sure why I need to explain all this shit when it's pretty clear why people are pissed off at him.
Dismissing all this and eagerly awaiting his next album as if it's not a big deal (or pretending like he's just fooling everyone and doesn't actually hold these viewpoints) is giving him a pass. It has nothing to do with legalities. It has everything to do with him perpetuating shitty right wing talking points that hurt millions of people.

You're giving this musician way too much power.
Just listen to the music dude lol
...his 28 million Twitter followers make him a pretty influential figure? I don't think anyone should be treating his tweets like genuine political viewpoints but you really can't deny his tweets have reach
Welp
This is the whole dismissal thing I was talking about
I never said you shouldn't listen to any of his music (he's got a lot of fantastic tracks) but failing to recognize his shitty viewpoints and how they have any negative impact is definitely giving him a pass.
heaven forbid someone say they would have voted for the current president of the country they live in. how dare he!?
lol y'all coming off salty as fuck.
sort of where i'm at
although i wouldn't really let an entertainers' opinion color my worldview, but i cant deny that some people put a lot of stock into what they have to say , so in that regard yeah i would say his tweets have been somewhat dangerous, probably moreso to youths than anyone else
Yeah, those are the shitty viewpoints I was talking about. If you voted for Trump or would have, you support everything that he's done and will do. This is controversial? He's been a walking dumpster fire since he stepped foot in the WH.
If he said that with Bush or something that's one thing.
With Trump is a whole 'nother issue. Remember Trump's announcement speech that he was running for POTUS? He came out talking about that damn wall and some thinly veiled racism about Mexicans.
And it's not like "oh that's just one aspect of Trump's politics". Nah, dude is just as short sighted and small minded in every other aspect. Saying shit like Trump is my brother is saying you support that.
Don't act dumb here.
Don't read the news much, do you?
front page CNN as of a day ago:
Trump deserves credit for Korean thaw
https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/27/politics/donald-trump-korea/index.html
Lol, yeah because he did a couple things right that excuses the 1000 other horrendous things he's done since he started.
But please cherry pick another positive
Sure you can say he's just an entertainer but there is always danger in the continued normalization of this administration and it's policies.
User Warned: Personal attack. Arguing in bad faith.
congrats, you managed to completely contradict yourself in a whopping 2 posts. you're a clown. stop backpedaling. your last 2 posts show how incredibly ignorant you are. I'm done with you.
Even the most objectively awful presidents did some positive things. What's your point?
I already saw someone today wearing a Kanye face shirt with a big red crossmark on it.
please provide examples of these objectively awful presidents that did "some positive things" that amount to "a legacy win that would rank as one of the top presidential achievements since World War II."
I'll wait.
Lol, I say he's been a dumpster fire since he walked into office, and you post one thing that can be interpreted as positive and spout off "you contradicted yourself".
Congrats on bailing on a conversation after making a terrible argument.
Trump has undeniably been a nonstop dumpster fire clusterfuck piece of human garbage for decades and he's turning the US into one too.
First of all, I'm not going to honor your argument since nothing has actually been accomplished yet. The very article you linked says it will be years before we see the progress necessary to judge this whole affair. I know you and your ilk are VERY desperate for something to cling to but perhaps you should cool yourself a bit because this is our country's national security at stake. Secondly, Richard Nixon. You may have heard of something called the Vietnam War that ended during his presidency. He also enacted many domestic policies/agencies which are still around today.
Objectively awful for the disgrace he brought on the presidency, but still did some positive things. Now maybe you can grow up and stop calling people clowns while refusing to take the bare minimum effort to capitalize the beginning of your sentences like this is a Youtube comment section.
