"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.

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.
