Not sure if serious.

Gonna be slightly controversial here, but I genuinely think West does shit like this to disarm / be iconoclastic to modern racist symbols.
Of course he’s a dickhead, and clearly has lots of issues, but he’s also smart in imagery and race politics. All of the White power items he’s co-opted - the Dixie flag, MAGA hat, WLM shirt - have been debased and disarmed to an extent by him wearing them.
Do you really think hardcore racists will find it pleasing, or even funny, when West co-opts this stuff and it’s plastered all over the news!? Of course not, they’ll be seething.
I’m not a fan of the guy, I think he’s way overrated as a rapper and I despise U.S celeb culture that he’s part of, but on this stuff I think there’s reason to it beyond him wanting attention.
He’s trolling the trolls. It’d be like if a famous gay musician wore a t-shirt saying ‘straight pride’, you’d know they were taking the piss and provoking conversation on homophobia.
Kind of. A narcissistic personality disorder is arguably a mental illness, although I know a lot of shrinks would disagree. It’s certainly not a treatable illness. And someone with narcissistic personality traits definitely doesn’t have an illness.
This. He's just an insufferable cnut and full of himself.No, he’s just a cnut.
Steady on ladHe's been crazy every since becoming famous. College dropout was dope but everything since has been crap anyway.
His attitude overshadows his talent.Steady on lad
You make it back from Florida unscathed?Hos attitude overshadows his talent.
Still in Florida but all is well here. My sister lives in SoDo and they were very fortunate here. Just a few fallen trees here and there.You make it back from Florida unscathed?
It does now, but I just pretend he quit making music in 2011.His attitude overshadows his talent.
I completely lost interest in anything he did after giving late registration a listen back when it came out. And even on that the only thing I have any real memory of is gold digger. He was a great producer but him claiming to be a great rapper while he should have stuck to making beats put me over the edge. He isn't fit to lace Nas' (or anyone else in that bracket) shoes as a rapper.It does now, but I just pretend he quit making music in 2011.
Late Registration, Graduation, 808s, MBDTF, and Watch the Throne are a far far cry from “crap”.
There’s so, so much more.
What makes a mental illness a mental illness? DSM bible? I think it's much more useful to look at it from the point of view of trauma and unmet needs. Narcissism as a significant character trait is hard to separate from narcissistic personality disorder. It doesn't really present itself in isolation. That wouldn't seem logical. I confess that I'm not a great believer in clustering symptoms to then create an umbrella term for whatever the disorder should be called, but I do believe narcissistic individuals are carrying pain, like most if not all unpleasant people.
AgreedThat’s an extremely charitable way to see the world. Which is not a criticism. My own world view is a lot more jaded. In that arseholes should take responsibility for being arseholes. The only real “cure” for PDs is growing out of them. So it’s hard not to look at someone like Kanye and think he really just needs to grow the feck up.
That's his delusion that he wants the brain dead to also believe inOn the one hand, maybe this guy is a transcendental genius, unappreciated in his time. On the other, he’s less appealing than…..Pete Davidson.

Well this might come true nowKanye West - My Struggle
Thank you!I completely lost interest in anything he did after giving late registration a listen back when it came out. And even on that the only thing I have any real memory of is gold digger. He was a great producer but him claiming to be a great rapper while he should have stuck to making beats put me over the edge.

Did you see his post!?So he can criticise black people all he likes but start on Jewish people and he's banned immediately
Kanye goes on Tucker:
Jews control P Diddy:
Going to war on Jews and their agenda:
Jews created cancel culture:
Can someone translate this for me? His tweets read as jibberish to me. No wonder he makes this shit music when he can't even put together sentences.
Which is rather ironic considering BHI theology and the message on his his T-shirtThe "black people are actually Jew" sounds like some Black Hebrew Isrealites rhetoric
Don’t remember what this was all about…
We’re hearing now from the Hitler apologist…
You can't even threaten to go 2 DEFCONs away from nuclear warfare on Jewish people these days, what is the world coming to.
