Fantano Discusses Kanye West's Politics

Anthony is right ,you could separate art from the artist ,if the artists “bad” habits aren’t in their art ,but if they are in ,well ……

[@Elway07-o4s]

I get pissed at Anthony for some of his music scores but I respect him for this. Kanye is spreading hatred and this cant be overlooked.

[@NorthernLycanthrope]

Yet if he said kl11 all the white men he's be glorified right? KZbin Barbara spectre mass immigration. I like Kayne even more for this!!

This also plays into the separation of the art from the artist rhetoric, if an artist is putting their own personal thoughts into a piece of music, they’re inherently making their music about them (which should go without saying) you literally can’t separate the two, especially for someone like Kanye who his fans constantly tote has being “honest” and “real” but when his honesty is him being racist and a terrible person you can’t suddenly want to separate the two to preserve the comfortability of your entertainment and that’s really all it is.

Kanye's Fall off to Insanity is probably the craziest Promo for Kid Cudi's Next Album Insano. The Timeline of living long enough to see your Hero become the Villain is Insane.

[@brandonayong5823]

I remember having an argument with a guy when Eminem came out with that viral anti Trump freestyle. He was saying that Em is hypocritical because he is the rap version of Trump so he should be all right I told him that A Em bring more of a Democrat actually makes all the sense in the world when you know what he stands for as a person and who he always has around him in his life as friends and where he grew up But most importantly. I told him that surely you understand the difference between a rapper creating a world to himself as an artist and an actual president that says and does things with no sense of irony and that can't use the freedom of art card. At first I thought that Kanye could be in the same category as Em in the argument as an artist and a creator. The problem is that most of his outlandish statements are not in his music and he totally decides to cross sides himself by declaring himself as a politician years ago so his words are just as dangerous as a politician saying all that

[@Donny_Double_Dip]

It ain’t that deep bruh. Stop listening to artists for any political direction 😂

[@brandonayong5823]

​@@Donny_Double_DipThis has nothing to do with listening to artists for politics It's about the nuance between where the art stops and when the person's beliefs begins

[@LeopoldTheUglyBarnacle]

​@Donny_Double_Dip it is that deep really if you'd pay attention. L take.

[@Ismael-kc3ry]

The greatest tragedy of Em’s career for the past 6 or so years is that everything he’s said politically has been pretty spot on, but his music hasn’t been as great as it was and that gives people who don’t like what he’s saying an easy target to attack rather than addressing his point. As cringe as the freestyle and Revival was, the things he said about police violence and racial profiling are 100% spot on. If only Untouchable was a good song.

[@TheComedyHistorian]

Thank God he makes great music.

[@Wuffskers]

This is why I've always found it bizarre how in hip hop circles if you object to homophobia or sexism in lyrics people always throw around "separate the art from the artist" and it's like, my dude the bigotry is in the art too. It's not really just Kanye or even hip hop specifically either, plenty of people now acknowledge how grossly racist a song like Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones is and as far as I know the Stones don't even perform it anymore.

[@radical6905]

I imagine if you played those hip hop fans something like Georgie Porgie they'd be unable to defend it. That actively ruined ATCQ for me listening to it

[@TheAndrewj96]

⁠@@radical6905Yeah, that song is absolutely gross, especially as a bisexual man. But thankfully the members have very much grown since then, so at least we have that.

[@froggin-zp4nr]

Hip hop and rap has always been rather bigoted. All the OGs have said not PC stuff because that was the point of being real and unfiltered given their harsh backgrounds. Which is funny how soft it has gotten in recent decades because of predominantly white liberal fans.

[@theboi5584]

Ye being an anti-Semite and white supremacist supporter sucks and is terrible, but the fact that he lets it bleed over into his music makes it so much harder to enjoy what he puts out anymore.

Kanye literally said something about jewish in his latest song vultures and now people are saying whats it have to do with his music bro its literally in the lyrics man

[@gamegeek0546]

as someone who has Kanye as their favorite artist and is excited for the new album. Even I know how anti-Semitic he's being and has been. It's so obvious what he's doing and it IS REALLY BAD. It honestly just disappoints me when he does this stuff cause it makes it harder to be a fan.

[@tylerhackner9731]

I think Kanye just needs help. He has no core beliefs, he’s an incoherent mess

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

Why? Why anyone gives a fuck? Let him do whatever he considers best, he's a grown up and he has how own view of the world. Just continue your lives either support him or ignore him (I recommend ignoring him)

[@ace15Nura]

Kanye doesn't want help. He wants us to feel pity for him. He has said he's surrounded by "yes man", he has said he has bipolar, he has seems how his action affect others. Why should we care he "gets help" if he doesn't want to get it? He's just a jackass. And you know what? I like his music, he was my favorite artist but he's a jackass and ignorant.

He's also negatively influencing other rappers. Carti saying "we all nazis" in a song where kanye compares himself to Jesus and Hitler, isn't a coincidence.

And all those kids making Hitler jokes on social media. Plus all those who will flood comment sections and discussion thread with fake edgy comments like "I mean technically he has a point. Hitler wasn't that bad". You can really create a dangerous mouvement when you're that powerful and you have those statements

[@talentrippin3535]

I agree that certain portion of kanye fans sucks very bad but most of us do not condone what he preaches politically so it's kind of an unfair generalization of entire fanbase when you say we go "lalalalalalalalala" whenever he says something controversial. we're just there for music at the end of the day
