    Honestly, Cosby’s fall was larger than Kanye’s.

    Unless you were alive in the 1980’s it’s hard to understand how beloved Bill Cosby was.

    It was probably on-par to how Mister Rogers is remembered today.

    He went from that to being completely persona non grata.

    I think Kanye’s fall is nothing in comparison to that; especially considering that he still has a career even though it’s not as successful as it used to be.

      Cosby was on par with how we think of Tom Hanks today. He had a dad vibe that everyone loved.

      Kanye is definitely up there. Because I hate so much about what Kanye has turned into… his music is just so, so fucking good. For all his personality faults (Or diagnoses… I dont think we will ever know for certain) the man is a musical genius.

        He has a lot of the telltale signs of something akin to bipolar disorder. You can see very easily his ups or downs and whether or not he has taken his meds recently.

        It sucks. He looks like someone who needs help.

          Oh very much so, but when someone with his means and access to treatment options keeps going off the deep end and ranting about Jews and how some black people must have wanted slavery. It reduces my sympathy.
