Charlamagne: Kanye's a Walking Contradiction Now

[@sicksadworld6221]

I wish I could give this interview a billion thumbs up. Love him or hate him, this dude always speaks the truth.

[@darksunrise37]

Alright you "follower". And by the way Charlamagne wasn't paying attention to when Kanye said he is a new slave. Ye said everyone's a slave to the industry which is true.

[@sicksadworld6221]

[@CloudyShinobi]

+epidemic sneakers That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard... Having an open market system and consumerism makes us all "new slaves??? How the fuck do you figure? Unless someone is holding a fucking gun to your head every time you buy something then stfu and stop disrespecting the hardships and struggles of people who actually went through slavery, racism, and discrimination. SMFH, just because this generation has no social issues they feel like fighting for, they're always trying to imagine up some bullshit drama shit. Fucking reality tv has rotted your brain. Go read a book and educate yourself you ignorant motherfucker

[@youngmoneyfuture1663]

Ok I am starting to like Charlamagne. Although sometimes he speaks shit, the more I listen to him, the more times he is actually right and really accurate. This man knows his shit.

[@johnbubble1]

LOL at you people hating on charlemagne. Say what you want, but the guy speaks his mind, does it eloquently, and comes off fairly educated. Brings up great points, doesn't just go with the flow. Kanye is whacked out now...his time has come and gone. This dude speaks the truth.

And when kanye speaks his mind you have a problem.

[@twin2jeremy]

Charlamage addresses the obvious: Kayne is bad messenger. His message is incoherent, contradictory, and he doesn't live up to it perfectly. HOWEVER, bigger than that, Kayne makes some powerful observations about about power, racism, and opportunity that seem to fly over Charlamange's head.

[@appiahallan]

The truth has been spoken!!

[@dmbstash4119]

Yup, you actually have to make a conscious effort into trying to like the new Kanye albums, the most common excuse for them, by Kanye himself, is that they're somehow futuristic or innovative or abstract, however they are neither futuristic nor innovative, leaving only one excuse which is that they're abstract. This is certainly true, however, that also means that in today's day and age they will never be considered anything but forgettable whereas his first 3 albums in trilogy will be what he was always remembered by. Those albums took the nation by storm, they did not need any effort to be liked, they were fresh, innovative, and paved the way for tons of hip hop artists to come. Did you ever notice though that no one needed to try and argue or rationalize that at the time? No one needed to make an argument for why they were what they were because it was simply a fact, the proof was in the pudding as artists like Cudi, Big Sean, Chance the Rapper, plenty more etc started their careers by matching that old soul mixed with big beat hip hop music that Kanye brought right to the forefront. Even 808s and Heartbreak paved the way for autotune rap and artists like Vic Mensa and Travis $cott. MBDTF was an album within its own, so unique and cohesive that trying to recreate the sound was nearly impossible without being called out for being a total copycat. Kanye's old albums were everything that Kanye was trying to be on his new albums the only difference being that they actually were those things, futuristic and innovative, as opposed to having the artist proclaim that it would be as his own biggest hype man for his past 2 albums. I remember seeing kanye in 2006 at the late registration tour in Buffalo NY. Ridiculous. I saw him again for the Yeezus tour and no one was even dancing or moving becuase none of it was good for that. People were staring at him with their phones up like they were watching a circus act. It was dumb as fuck "No one man should have all that power" now we know the reason for that... a Paris studio full of yes men and designer drugs led by an overly inflated ego produces music of a lower stock

[@jessedinsmore9286]

you couldn't have said it any better man i honestly feel to be a great musician and make great music it can't be your main source of income like its great if you get paid to do it but you can't let it be your only source of income because thats when you start putting out what you think people want to hear or whats popular you have to do it because you love it people will always try to exploit you but you have to let the music be pure I'm still waiting for the mike jack of my generation i know he's out there somewhere

Good interview on Kanye and his fuckeries.

[@JimMcCray]

How can I take him seriously when the first thing I hear out of his mouth is astrology? Most people know to brush that shit under the rug when they are trying to make points that they want to be taken seriously.

[@MrSosa35]

You sound ignorant the Egyptians studied astronomy in order to align the pyramids with the stars. Astrology is simply an ascension of that as human beings we're made of energy so the position of the moon, earth etc impacts our energy. Hence providing similar traits in our characteristics whether you choose to belief this is your choice. But don't dismiss the man for mentioning it.

[@2ill1313]

R Sosa EXACTLY. THAT GOES FOR ALL THESE STUPID FUCKS ON HERE MENTIONING THE SAME THING THAT IDIOT YOU REPLIED TO. AZTECS AND MAYANS GUIDED THEMSELVES THROUGH ASTRONOMY AS WELL AND HAD SOME OF THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND STILL THESE FOOLS SEEM TO BLINDLY IGNORE THAT WITHOUT RESEARCHING IT. SALUTE TO YOU

[@bregorforgett4983]

R Sosa You can use the stars for construction because of their general constant positions but the day you're born and how the earth is positioned to show the stars has literally nothing to do with the kind of person you are. Astronomy is incredible, astrology is a farce.

[@2ill1313]

Josh Simpson LOOK DAWG, WHAT HE MENTIONED ABOUT THE GEMINIS I CAN SAY BY EXPERIENCE IS TRUTH. SAME GOES WITH CANCERS. WHY YOU MAY WONDER?? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WITH FEMALES WHO HAPPEN TO BE GEMINIS AND THE RESEARCH BACK THEN BASED ON ASTROLOGY, AND ACCORDING TO THE SIGN OF THE PERSON, HAD/HAS LOGICAL SENSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT PERSONS ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR. I RESPECT YOUR OPINION BUT, CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU COMMENTED ON I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU NOT TO BELIEVE ME BUT ACTUALLY READ ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS AND WHEN YOU MEET PPL PUT THE THEORY TO THE TEST AND THEN YOU CAN BE THE JUDGE FOR YOURSELF ACCORDING TO THEIR SIGN. THE STARS SERVE AS GUIDANCE AND THE ZODIACS SERVE AS TEACHINGS FOR THE PPL OF THEIR CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOR DEPENDING ON THE TIME AND DATE THAT THEY WERE BORN. RESEARCH IT

Talking bout how Dead Prez are realer revolutionaries than Kanye is the biggest understatement I've ever heard. The man talks about designing jogging pants like he's solving world hunger. It's an insult to marginalized people everywhere, and he still has the balls to complain about how he's being "marginalized." Shit Kanye, I haven't got my meeting with Ralph Lauren either.

[@jamesneiditch784]

Kanye Kardashian is the perfect term ... anything with "Kardashian" attached is synonymous with Corporate created, profit grabbing propaganda machine ...

[@atomgonuclear]

The problem with Kanye is that he mistakes admiration for his music as admiration for him as a person. When people listen to your music it does not mean that they agree with anything you stand for. A true revolutionary doesn't just rant about change. A true revolutionary actually puts potential into the hands of their followers. Whether it's a gun or an idea. Kanye has done nothing for the human race other than put out some cool music and a pair of shoes. He can attack corporations all he wants, but many corporations have done more to advance the potential of the human race than his music ever will. Apple brought technology and convenience to the world that was seen never before. People gladly gave them their billions, because they provided a service that was valuable. Pharmaceutical companies didn't make billions by scamming and enslaving people(in most cases). They made that money saving lives and raising the average life expectancy to higher than it has ever been in history. They are the real revolutionaries.

[@atomgonuclear]

***** I guess I hit a nerve. Nothing like wannabe gangsta white boys gettin hit with some truth. Just like I said...... there isn't a fake rapper who doesn't talk about shootin people up..... you just demonstrated that with your stupid ass/shotgun UZI comment. LOL. Good luck using your parent's money to buy yourself an UZI in a white suburb of Seattle. lololol. Dude get a job and fall the fuck in line, because what your doing now isn't working and your not fooling anybody. Lastly, why are you measuring your success by how much pussy you get? I don't care how much pussy you get. That's a bad thing. It means people can't stand more than 1 night with you so you have to find new shit. There's another hypocritical thing you said...... you said the internet is evil for porn, yet you go out fucking random bitches that have daddys that would never approve. Maybe your evil too then?

[@atomgonuclear]

I don't know you and these are all guesses, but I'm a pretty good guesser. What I do know is that if your unsatisfied with a large broken system then you have to change it from the inside. Your mistake is complaining about how evil the world, government, and corporations are. Nobody takes people on the outside of the box seriously. If you want real change you have to be on the inside... or at least act like it. If you have to act like a conformist to get shit done, then it's worth it. You have to be a successful and trustworthy person before people will listen to you. Everybody in the US wants government change, but the people who openly talk about it don't stand a chance. Look at the history of marijuana. When it was illegal hippies tried for decades to legalize it through weird behavior and outside the box thinking. It took successful people in powerful positions on the inside to change that. They acted like conformist politicians; all the while they were smoking it up in secret. Complaining gets you nowhere.

[@atomgonuclear]

I'm not getting off topic. What I'm saying is that you don't get to dictate the terms of things your not involved in. You haven't worked in 5 years. why should you get to dictate the terms of taxes and the societal interactions with corporations; when it doesn't affect you. Your not homeless, you have a car, and you have a computer to talk on. There is only 2 possibilities. That is that you have been glady accepting money from other people ie. parents or the government. Now you want special privileges to dictate terms that fit your needs based on your un-qualified opinion. People outside the scope of what concerns them don't get to have an opinion that carries the same weight. You had the same opportunity to change things as anybody else. If not more; due to your prime economic location. Telling the world corporations are evil just because they don't fit your lifestyle practice is selfish and hypocritical. Especially when you use those things you call evil and condemn other people for doing the same (the internet, the youtube corporation, etc.) Just like Kanye. He wouldn't even exist without the very thing he condemns. Just as you wouldn't. I am done now.

A lot of the time, looking at interviews of Kanye, he comes across as someone who has a very unique and high level of thinking that often times can't fully articulate his ideas to the people he's talking to, or maybe they just don't get it, which must grow insanely frustrating that in the moment he explodes onto the other person. Also, say what you want but it's true. Kanye West has brought over 10 years of incredibly forward thinking, or progressive, art, culture, design and product. Not to hate on Charlemagne, but he's main claim to fame is being a radio show host. Not the best radio show host on the greatest radio show. Kanye is relevant for continuing to make dope shit without fail. Charlemagne can only stay relevant for doing shit like this, talking about other people who do shit. He knows that if he criticizes them he's going to get more views and interviews. Kanye West creates. Charlemagne talks about the people like Kanye West. They are on clearly different levels. Artistically and career-wise.

[@semperxian]

it's part of his job. you can critique how he does it or his logic maybe but it doesnt follow that he shouldnt do it because he doesnt create. surely we cant say sway had no right to confront him... and kanye does COME ACROSS as something, but whether there's any substance in it is another matter. is he anti capitalism? no certainly not, and yet he sometimes talks as if he is. i think charlemagne is right to bring up the NOT FOR SALE sign. very bizarre. the elitist portion of the fashion world is an extremely capitalist industry that appeals to the very wealthy and he wants to be a part of that and make it appealing to his fans, most of whom cannot afford to buy a $120 t shirt. all of this added to his arrogance and cocky attitude which is expected at times but taken to another level by him by saying things like I am Shakespeare

Charlamagne is serious about this! I really like how you speak about this and can also back it up. I like you charlamagne!!!

[@Guitarplayer219]

Not a fan of him, but this is one of the few rappers I've ever seen make any intellectual sense. Good on ya Charlamagne.

[@biggib8]

Well said dude. Couldn't put better myself.

"No my brother that's a Def Jam marketing campaign..." God DAMN! Laying it DOWN!

[@pinkfloydfan92]

he is right about this. kanye always talking about black roots, being humble, not selling out, etc. when in actuality, he has done all those things. practice what you preach...

[@lominero5]

[@ItHappens117]

U2 has never had a corporate sponsor? What about the iPod they had their names written on?
