My thoughts on Kanye outside of music is that his politics are populist and whether or not it lands on either left or right isn't distinguished by Kanye. I want Kanye or anyone in his camp to introduce him to actual leftist speakers and politicians, not liberal ones.
@@jamesmccaul2945 "Interesting" - 🤓. And unironically yes to every question you said. Why wouldn't I believe in opinions if I think they're right as of now ☠️. This isn't the own you think this is with your questions.
i don’t think you need to take kanye so literal in the point abt us being born white supremacists and such, i think he’s referring more to the system and structure of our current society rather than a priori knowledge. i could be wrong though.
Kanye, without the religion lol, is very Nietzschian to me with him saying that life is a videogame and losing can be fun and that reminded me of the eternal recurrence of if you had to life your life again and again would it be a blessing or a curse basically, he’s now viewing it as a blessing, as I get to go to Lisbon, not I have to. But he’s very Nietzschian to me. Loved your take!
Thank you Prof. Skye. I love this video and adore both of your channels. I also really appreciated the video you did on dunkey - like you, he’s one of my favourite RU-vidrs. You have a distinct personality, but when your hair is all messy, you do sometimes remind me a bit of James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem - that is, from earlier in his career before his hair went white. That’s just me, though. It doesn’t at all take away from the enjoyment I receive from these videos - I just wanted to share. Any thoughts on LCD Soundsystem’s work? 😝
Love this analysis on the interview. I think that Ye has found some insight on life (an enlightenment of some sort) & the reason for him getting bad haircuts to his hair (changing his name to Ye too) is because he is ultimately letting go of his past self. Under our late stage capitalism structure we are in, we are made to be a certain way under our environment, so him cutting off his former self he is essentially reborn. Ye is born again, just like many Buddhist do.
He kept referencing that they should have killed him after the George bush incident and that he is prepared for them to take him out any time. That made me sad.
watched the interview right after i watched eternals (which i would love to hear your opinion on) i really enjoyed seeing that side of ye and just having 2 hours of him just vibing was amazing
It’s funny how we run to Kanye for his takes on geo politics, philosophy, economics yet there are plenty of people who have dedicated their entire lives to understanding these topics and we reject them... I’m sick of this bullshit grow the fuck up folks if you’re serious about these issues you’ll find loads more of info and tools to combat our conditions from folks like Chomsky. Kanye is NOT truly concerned about leveling the playing field I can assure of this
