    Ye is a f***ing clown. A misogynistic, racist, Nazi, homophobic, ableist, sexual abuser who fell off almost 10 years ago now. I am so ashamed I used to love his music.

      I still remember downloading The College Dropout when it released and loving it so much I had to share it with my friends. His whole album run up to Yeezus was great. But yeah the dude’s been mentally ill for awhile now. Haven’t listened to anything from him for a long, long time now.

      Art is one of those difficult subjects. As long as you’re not financially supporting them anymore (including with streaming) there’s no harm in having a relationship with a track that came from someone who had a downfall. I still listen to the Thriller album sometimes, and though it is always freighted with the context of what came later, I am able to separate the art from the artist enough to still enjoy the thing in itself.

        I’m very much aware of the controversy around MJ, but in the end he was cleared on all the charges. There’s obviously a ton of things which are problematic, to say the least, but in my personal opinion he was a victim of the system too. There’s absolutely things to condem him for, but I don’t think he was a bad person in the end. Just someone who really needed some help which wasn’t there. Britney Spears would be a better comparison than Kanye.

        And there’s quite a big gap between being a problematic human being who created (ambiguously) some of the best art around and someone who straight up wants to make a statement of being a bigger natzi than Elon.

          You’re right, it was a stretch to generalize between the two. I’m just keen on the point of separating the art from the artist in the context of everything being streamed for money. It’s fine to listen to any old shit that used to hold uncomplicated joy for you, as long as it’s a local copy.

          I have a bigger problem with MJ than Kanye. Kanye admits to being an ass and his music has fell off since 808. But MJ contends that he did nothing and I don’t believe him. I believe the victims. Especially after that HBO movie. I just can’t support the guy.

        Apparently he got a second diagnosis and he’s not bipolar but on the spectrum, according to himself.

        Probably figured that was a better cover for being a nazi, after Elon’s Sieg Heil

          Likely internalized bigotry too. Considering when we hear about his mental health falling off it’s always in this context of him claiming to be a Nazi.

      being a nazi is bad for business

      I’m sorry, but have you seen the world lately? What on earth has led you to believe this? Nazism is in its highest demand ever, so much so that even some Jews are onboard and are giving Trump literal golden gifts to celebrate ethnic cleansing. The richest man in history just proudly threw up a nazi salute for the world to see as he became the defacto POTUS.

      The soul-crushing truth is that being a nazi is the best business decision one can make right now. I hate it, and I wish something could be done about it.

              Tesla is valued more than every other car company combined, but they sell a fraction of vehicles. You tell me what drives the stock price, it’s sure as shit not sales.

                No they’re not, Tesla has a market cap of 1.13 trillion, and don’t just make vehicles, BYD alone is worth 776 billion. Toyota is around 250 billion.

                They’re big, but not “half the automotive industry” big.

        For far too many people, the decision whether to cooperate with Nazis depends on profits to be had.

        It was true of IBM in the 1940s, and it’s true today.

      I’m guessing he was a bigot long before he tried a single drug and certainly long before social media.

          Maybe, but I think in his case, what those things (and his mental illness) do is remove his filter.

          When he wasn’t open about it, it was still right there, barely beneath the surface.
