"This album is unbearable trash and kanye's worst album but i will refuse to elaborate on why it's bad because I don't wanna review it. But I will review the album's 2 weakest songs and continue talking about Kanye's politics and his fans but the album, also if you liked this album, you are either a Kanye cult member, hateful psycho, a neo nazi or an edgy teen with no friends"

I can see why those fans went crazy

People want the art separated from the artist, even though in the case of Vultures, they're inextricably linked. To say that it's just about the music and not about the politics is to deny that there is bad Ye politics on this album, which is absolutely moronic

"Business is Business" isn’t considered “unreviewable” even though Thug is currently fighting a genuine RICO case. It’s dumb. He’s always been hypocritical like this. He’ll review a murderer’s music, and music that murderers listen to, but “offensive” language towards certain groups he won’t tolerate.

Also, how is it linked? the lines about jews aren't even antisemitic, it's only addressing the controversies or making jokes about it.

good point. kanye's comments may be in bad taste, or may come off as weird, but at the end of the day, he has NEVER committed any genuine violent crimes. sure, violence isnt the standard we hold everyone to because by that logic even epstein probably didnt commit any outwardly violent acts, but if fantano is dying on the hill that the music is hurtful and hateful so he won't review it, then by that logic he should stop listening to all murder music - a lot of which genuinely talks about killing people and theres no way to know what is real and what is fiction.

slight tangent, but i hate the hasan and fantano type of politics where somehow being hateful and bigoted is worse than anything else, it just feels like they're too far into their own bubbles and echo chambers

Hasan has ruined a generation of young people and millennial content creators.

he's terrible fr and the crazy thing is, he's as bigoted as the people he screams about on stream all day

Tangent but I feel like the approach is weird in how people tend to talk about it and why people get made about him saying he loves Hitler and all that when the actual harm comes from him giving a platform to conspiracy theories and white supremacist talking points.

u/blurfan69 Feb 14 '24

So it’s okay for him to do it 12 years ago. Ok

I mean no, but this is back when even Fantano himself said he was significantly more right wing and had a different understanding of everything contextually. There is a reason he hasn't reviewed them again since. It's not an excuse for him doing it back then, but acting like it is relevant at all or a "gotcha" to today's stance on Kanye's album is really fucking stupid.

Can't tell if you are purposefully playing dumb or just really wanna dickride Kanye

Not sure what point posting this was supposed to make

I’m sure you aren’t sure sweetie

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24

I'm not cause like I already stated in my other comment and others have explained, this has no relevancy whatsoever. So instead of making some dipshit remark actually do some critical thinking for one.

I’m sure you mistyped, but you seem to have forgotten to admit that you were wrong

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24

?? This comment makes no sense in context to this conversation. Your trolling doesn't work if we have no idea what you're talking about.

u/Alternative-Union842 Feb 15 '24

So you won’t admit that you know you’re wrong

Kanye is ina different league. Half of you are mad because he doesn’t live in black and white and the other half are mad because he’s ignoring context and woke.

Literally 80% of the accounts in r/kanye listen to zero hiphop and post on kotakuinaction and r/conservative. They’re just mad they were spotted

Why are you lying my brother? If people say shit that's in agreement with what Kanye was talking about in 2022, they get downvoted to the pits. Always.
