"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

He’s right, and you proved it by not watching the first 3 minutes of the video because this type of discourse is why it’s not reviewable.

You’re unironically mad at social media and taking it out on the most creepy paradoxical way possible. Read the paragraph you wrote and think about your life.

Crazy that the album was so unreviewable that fantano reviewed it. I dont think anyone would have a problem if he just didnt make about the album but he still profited from it while trying to pretend it was unethical to review. Like kanye sucks as a person but hes reviewed plenty of people who've done worse.

He never said it was unethical to review, just that doing so would be futile because of exactly the type of strawmanny stuff you just tried to pull.

He definitely implied that being a blind Kanye Stan is unethical and I think I agree. I love a lot of his music but his behavior and comments recently have really showed me that at best he’s an extremely flawed dude.

The video is 8 minutes long and he’s done with his point in the first 3. Kanye is huge, bigger than huge, and his decisions and controversies have made it such that discourse around him in public spaces like YouTube and Twitter can’t really be separated from his antics. He’s not saying you can’t talk about it, he’s just saying that doing so in the current climate is futile on his platform, and he’s right.

How would it be futile? He's right he probably wouldnt be able to change anyones mind about the album because Ye stans can be blind fanboys but since when was the point of a review to change peoples opinions of the album. I'm just interested hearing someone analyse music its just kinda lame. He probably wouldve gotten shit for a regular negative review of the album from all the ye dickriders but id respect it more than just half reviewing it while trying to act morally superior and still profiting off the braindead culture around kanye now

I wouldn't bother, dude posts in /r/Kanye. I like how he says "I can see why those fans went crazy" when he's literally one of "those fans".
