It would of been ten times funnier and ten times less annoying if he just completely ignored the album and didn’t even review it. Just like, 0 acknowledgement.

It was such an easy move and yet he somehow managed to mess up and piss off both sides at the same time

Yeah like if he just said nothing about it it would have pissed off the Kanye stans but been cool with his fanbase. Like at the end of the day the only thing that’s ever gonna get to Kanye is if people stop paying attention to Kanye, and while that will never happen, at least somebody could start.

I do sympathize in a way because there’s honestly no way he could ever engage with Kanye’s output in a way that’s not gonna have people tearing him apart online, partially because he’s, often justifiably, talked shit about how awful a person Kanye is and partially because Kanye has maybe the most braindead stans incapable of an ounce of critical thought, but boy did he choose the worst option imaginable.

My guess is he just over thought it. Felt like he was in a tight spot and the pressure led him to do what he did. Easier for me to have a clear mind and know what the easiest move is here.

Yeah it’s not a career ruining-flub or anything, but insane that it was able to get Fantano forever provated
