| VAMatt said: Most celebrities, like most regular people, just fall in line. They believe what the TV or the masses on FB tells them to believe. They have few original thoughts. Kanye doesn't seem to be one of those people. And, for that, he gets my respect. Beyond that.... well, I disagree with him quite a bit, especially with regard to his support for Trump. At least he has some original thoughts for me to disagree with though. |
This is very well said, I couldn't agree more.
Much of my fascination with Kanye at the moment (and even Trump to an extent despite being probably center left libertarian) is that he deviates from and defies the narrative. Kanye simply stands out with his own ideals, and the mere fact that 90% of people seem to be attacking it just makes you want to listen more closely out of sheer curiosity. I still think he's something of an egotist (like Trump) seeking attention, and jumping on board with GOP type stuff to me is nearly as foolish as jumping on board with the current DNC, but at least he's breaking the mold and coming up with new ideas. And he geniunly seems to want to help the poor and black communities in Chicago, which is more than I can say about the Dems or especially the snobby celebs and media lately..
Think about it, do people really give a crap about TI, or Snoop Dog, or Eminem, or the million other rap/pop artists or celebs are saying about Trump?Of course not, becaues they all say the same freaking things over and over and over again. It becomes old hat, boring, and stock after ahile, and people stop caring. The funny thing is these types think they're being edgy or revolutionary, when they're just another blip on the radar. They are the establishment.
It's KANYE that people are paying attention to. Not Michael Moore, Maddona, Amy Schumer, etc etc.. Kanye might be a little nuts, but he also might have shades of brilliance. He certainly knows what's garnering him publicity and attention right now.
