Yep. Agreed. Again, never thought I’d be going there, but yeah — he’s embarrassing and full of shit.

Maybe, but you’re taking it from yourself.

mental illness. kanye has NO ONE now. Of all the big hip hop stars, he never seems to have an old crew of guys from back in the day that keep his bullshit in check. his momma is dead. he is married to a fame addicted narcissist who, frankly, has always come off as the most emotionally dumb one of the family. he is losing it and no one is helping.

[h8kurdt]

Agreed.

The last time he had a breakdown (for want of a better word) I had so many friends laughing about it. When I pointed out that if it was anyone else, be it their friends or film/music star they'd be pretty shocked. However, it seems Kanye's illness is something it's ok to laugh at. It's actually depressing when you look at it. The knock-on effect his mother's death has had on him cannot be understated.

I love Kanye's music but I'd rather see him disappear from the limelight and be happy than do what he's doing now.

I agree. If he had called it good with Pablo it would have been one of the most epic runs in music history. People can butch and argue, but if he’d stopped then and there, it would probably be the most consistent discography ever.

But nooo.... he had to do whatever this is.
He has a plastic surgeon making him look like a trivial bitch, for fuck’s sake

Would he not be happier if he just leaned into retirement?

I don’t know, but I’m so confused.

Actually he has a ton of friends and family with him pretty much at all times. His main touring singer is his cousin (who I met, nbd), and he has other family with members in his “entourage.” Not to mention folks like Pusha and Mos Def and Talib and Common and so on, and newer blood like Kendrick and Chance. You’d think these sensible (even if you, Rob the Instigator, find them boring, they’re sensible) artists would keep his ass grounded, but naaaahhh

In 2016 I went into a mild depression simply because — sweat to god — because louder didn’t like TLOP, and that made me question everything.

Now it’s like... *I* don’t like this shit. Not even *me.* Now *that* says something. Fuck me.

[Rob Instigator]

having pals and having people that are confidants are two widely separate things though.

come oooon. you serious??

i don’t think youre trolling but it’s hard to believe. well i’m gonna take your word for it and say i’m sorry you’re so vulnerable to this... i don’t know what to call it. but i’d look into it because it’s... that’s a bug not a feature and it’s not good for you. i mean it. you gotta unplug that circuit so the rest can function.

Same.

Instrumental for “Lift Yourself” is great. Then he literally poops all over it. Fucking sad

Uh.

Man, I’m honestly still learning what trolling (colloquially in 2016-18) even is. I certainly don’t troll intentionally, which means I don’t troll.

No, I’m serious. And yes, I know it’s sad and unhealthy. But part of it was that louder pushed me to embrace Kanye’s full discography years ago now, and I was disheartened when he didn’t like the then-new album.

I’m also super depressed about Kanye losing his mind.

I’m co-dependent. Not a troll. Unfortunately.

[!@#$%!]

by trolling i thought you were impersonating an affliction in order to mock our concern. or something. so. not trolling. but yeah, problematic.

i understand feeling sorry, disappointed, sad, etc., but to get depressed, which is a serious condition, about fucking celebrities, seems worrisome to me.

then again i’ve never held a candlelight vigil for any dead famous. no wait, i did go to a thing when they killed yitzhak rabin. but that was about terrorism killing peace, not a song gone wrong.

kanye serious business! come on, you gotta learn to laugh about this shit.

[louder]

I just hope we're in the middle of a performance art piece.

Ok ok... “depression” is not the right word. Was using the term too freely. Was just bummed.

I was *depressed* on Nov. 8, 2016 (and thereafter, for, like, months) in the wake of Trump’s victory. Physically and emotionally depressed. Major Depressive Dosorder, at least temporarily. Had trouble smiling about anything. Felt like the air around me was too heavy to move in, etc.

When louder bashed TLOP, I still rocked TLOP, was happy and sad to a normal degree about daily things, and got shit done. So... yeah, my bad.

Kanye’s actual behavior right now is having a depressive effect on me though. Feels like part of me died. Having a hard time listening to him without thinking of all the awful things he’s said and done now.

Props to that TMZ guy for calling him the fuck out. Never thought I’d give props to TMZ for calling out Kanye, but here we are.

Just be thankful you're not a big Bill Cosby fan too.
