It’s all an attention grab. He doesn’t believe anything.

Lol.

She’s very much a genius. She has occupied the center of the culture AND pulled it in her direction for going on 15 years now. She is a revelatory performer, has a peerless recording career, and sets the conversation in ways that Kanye never really has, all without having to tell you constantly how brilliant she is.…

Sure, but common as they are, they come in all stripes. Notable about his was how he treated his ex-wife in conjunction with the cheating. And yeah, sorry, the cheating isn’t a good look either no matter how common it is.

Damn, between this and yesterday’s Kanye news I am feeling pretty good about opinions I formed in 2009 despite being told how insane and wrong I was.

Lol this cracked me up.

Thank you for taking one for the team! I suspected but it is nice to hear it straight from a smart person that would know the difference.

It should show anyone willing to see it everything they need to know that he’s in love with Trump and not Obama because one gave him attention and the other actually called him out for what he is—a jackass.

According to you someone can feel great about their life but if they don’t value relationships they are wrong and their life is shit?

Because they really wanted it to be about Barbara Bush telling a group of women their professional achievements are only interesting if they have a man (or something like that, unclear).

Oh absolutely. The biggest lie the second half of the twentieth century told us was that pop culture icons—famous people, really—were people to be looked up to. Beyond their gifts.

I have like five friends exactly like him. My problem isn’t even him so much, I don’t care if he’s a fuckin’ Republican. Its the squirm his fans do.

I have. He’s showed us his gift for making great records, sure.

I mean, there are more than those three but this is—yeah. Of course. I don’t think I was suggesting otherwise?

I actually have. It could not be more clear. It is weird you can’t see that.

He’s talented.

Yeah, and with a guy like Kanye, its this weird “big lie” thing. He wants to be seen as a genius, as this generational thinker/ creator, so what’d he do? He never stopped saying that he was a genius, a generational thinker/ creator, and that his opinion on anything really, really mattered.

Darden says Kanye professed his love for Donald Trump, explaining that he “reached out to Obama for years and couldn’t get anything done, but Trump gave me a meeting.”

but all the great stuff women do doesn’t mean shit if they don’t also “value relationships.” Cure cancer, end world hunger — that’s nice, but did she ever find love?
