I love Prince more than just about anybody but let’s not pretend Purple Rain and Atlanta exist in the same plane, k?

I just can’t let you forget about Prince Rogers Nelson, who, during one spectacular week in 1984, had the Number 1 Album, Number 1 Song, and Number 1 Movie in America—all while Ben Vereen was doing blackface for Ronald Reagan.
... I believe that the place in pop culture in which Donald Glover exists has never been occupied...
I can’t speak about other people’s opinions, but I can say for myself that I absolutely give the stink eye to Black men who want to further Black men only, and talk Black while sleeping white, no matter who they are. I know for a fact about Douglass and Belafonte’s shittiness towards Black women, but I don’t have much…
Please, no man who disdains (fully) Black women, has an Asian fetish, and loves himself some white women can be described as unimpeachably Black, ever. He is just some weird little guy who has a good tv show and also makes ok music...but should realize he is not a singer and makes people uncomfortable trying so hard…
If I was a betting woman I would of swore Kanye would of been a James Baldwin guy.
Damon, I love you, but nobody is going to buy that property off you. Nobody. That property is officially unsellable at any price.
::sigh:: Yep.
I’m concerned that the property owners on Yeezy Island are about to get tranched like it’s 2008 all over again.
I think I just snapped my neck laughing so hard at Yeezy calling someone else (ANYONE else) “wordy and self-absorbed.” My GAWD.
So, basically he revels in being a dumb fuck who designs clothing that looks like it would be best suited to the set of a low-budget dystopian horror film? Fuck off, Kanye.
It doesn’t hurt that Kanye is a fucking moron, too.
You know that niggas can’t read.
When we do not hear from Kanye, he is following his doctor’s orders and spending time making great music. When Kanye gets back on social media, I believe it is because he is NOT medicated. I just do not understand his line of thinking, which is extremely harmful and dangerous for Black people. He is living in a…
Sorry but not blaming The Kardashians is the lamest of cop outs. This collection of vapid worthless whores, Rob too, has made it very clear that branding is more important than anything. If you think the mindset that these clowns possess hasn’t rubbed off on someone this impressionable and weak you are kidding…
Such a good article. Love the analogies and side comments on what you were doing while going through the thought process on this. It’s interesting because you don’t see the right-leaning media commentators saying he should ‘shut up and sing’ - which is great because people need to stop saying shit like that. But I…
Kanye the type of nigga to build himself a huge plantation surrounded by yes-men, then go to twitter and posit, “ I don’t understand why the rest of y’all unhappy, everything is great here.”
It’s almost as if he needs more Lupe Fiasco in his life. But then again... Lupe be saying some off the wall shit too
“But it’s misguided — and somewhat sexist — to blame the politics of this grown-ass man on the women in his life.”
