donda was good so ur opiniom dont hold no type of weight U AINT GOT DA ANSWERS

[@oggie_champ2636]

good video, it's so sad to see someone that you used to look up to as an informed and intelligent person ruin their legacy in this way.

[@DeadPlayin]

Thanks bro 🙏 I agree. He’s my favorite artist that I’ve listened to for so many years of my life, so it hurts me and plenty of others to see how far gone he is now

[@AprilOceann]

you almost predicted it he announced he was retiring from music and like a hour later said he wasnt

[@DeadPlayin]

@@AprilOceann 😭😭 yeah, I just saw that. I thought about making a follow up video

[@trevorhandberry2158]

Damn good video fam. Dont pay attention to Ye’s STANS. We all enjoyed him music and even some of his antics at time. But the last 4 yrs have been a slow burn of the bridges that lead to the people’s trust. He lost our trust and reverence

[@DeadPlayin]

Appreciate the support 🫡 it’s truly sad to see the musician I once looked up to change so much and negatively affect his career

[@ron_sr1218]

I feel like he still has more to give musically but the dude just has to get his life together, get better people around him and stop doing drugs. If he continues like that people will eventually grow tired even from his music, more than they already have

[@DeadPlayin]

I feel like he could make another banger album, but he has to want to make another banger album. He has to stop all the shenanigans and just lock in when he’s in the studio. His life is cooked right now, so I hope he eventually finds his way back 🙏

[@ChildishLumbino]

you trippin if you think Donda is bad bruh

[@DeadPlayin]

I never said Donda was bad. Donda is actually pretty solid, but there’s a good amount of bloat on there. There are some bangers on there for sure. I just think he’s lyrically declined in general

[@samdasamoza]

You gotta ignore most of these comments man, the video was good 😭😭😭

[@DeadPlayin]

Thank you for the support 🙏

I left the Kanye train in early 2022 after he harassed Kim and Pete and made that psychotic music video where he cuts off his head. I got really tired of trying to rationalize all his awful choices and him crossing into abusive territory was my breaking point. When he went on Alex Jones six months later it felt like my world stopped for a few days, I don't think I've ever seen an artist who's so influential and so well loved destroy their legacy like this in the span of like half a year. I didn't listen to his music for over a year after that, I've started to let myself enjoy stuff like Graduation or KSG now but its still very bittersweet for me. I don't think Kanye will ever retire. He thrives on attention and forcing himself into the world's public consciousness and he's likely going to continue doing this until the day he dies. I don't know if there's any hope of him recovering, and even if he did somehow become a better person I don't think I could ever support him again. Its sad to say but it's just how I feel.

[@DeadPlayin]

@@sleepdealer10 I respect that, and agree with you on several things. He’s had quite the generational run when it comes to ruining his legacy. I made this video as more of a disappointment thing than me just hating on Kanye. Like I said in the video, he’s my favorite musician, so I’m just sad to see how far he’s fallen off mentally. I don’t think he’ll ever retire either since he still has so much motion and pull within the industry. I do hope he improves himself one day, but I’m starting to doubt that too.

[@sleepdealer10]

@@DeadPlayin I’m not trying to hate either I’m right where you are, it hurts my heart to say all this. I still have friends who love his music and I wouldn’t judge anyone who has an attachment to his stuff, but no one in my friend group supports him either. We’re all at a loss

[@DeadPlayin]

@@sleepdealer10 I know and I appreciate that we’re able to share the same vision 🙏 I feel you in terms of my friends too. We just like his old music at this point 😭

[@malevolenttyrantdongod]

JIK and Donda were both good albums, u just gotta be used to gospel music. I agree his lyrical ability completely declined following VULTURES.

[@DeadPlayin]

I agree that both of those albums were solid. I’m mostly talking about Vultures in the video. Donda just had a lot of bloat imo

[@Ellis.broadnax]

Definitely past his prime

[@DeadPlayin]

I’m glad you got the vision 🤝

[@meowraiu2]

this was an amazing retrospective, man. tons of these on youtube, but this one felt particularly fresh. got a different vibe and all. love ye and i agree with a lot of this

[@DeadPlayin]

@@meowraiu2 I really appreciate it 🙏 I try my best to stand out on here as much as I can and provide a different perspective on things. I love ye too, and want the best for him, but he unfortunately doesn’t want the best for himself. I’m glad you enjoyed the video tho!

[@rippo2904]

Actually crazy that we‘re witnessing the downfall of arguably one of the best artists of all time.

[@DeadPlayin]

I agree. It’s truly sad to see as a huge fan of his

[@DeadPlayin]

Like why bro 😭 he’s just too far gone

[@whosaguhboi938]

Ye definitely hits his head a little too hard on that accident, he even said he developed some kind of „Autism“ lmaooooo

[@DeadPlayin]

Oh yeah 😭😭 bro’s lost it fr

[@benjamin_isakt2408]

Love the video but the background music takes to much fokus imo.

[@DeadPlayin]

Thank you 🤘 I’ll try to keep it quieter for my next video 🙏

[@jameslight4391]

I personally think only his latest project has been where he lyrically declined but he was going for that carti style.

[@DeadPlayin]

I respect that. Donda and JIK both got a lot of bloat imo. Vultures is just a cooked album 😭

[@jameslight4391]

@@DeadPlayin I forgot JIK lol. He can make a comeback if he makes a 10-16 song album music wise the other stuff will take time or people will forget if the album is a classic

[@DeadPlayin]

@@jameslight4391 If he genuinely made an effort to be a better person, and dropped a classic, I would give him his props

[@teresitanorquay7571]

I didn’t watch the video I just came to comment if 0 Kanye west fans are alive assume I’m dead. They could never make me hate tou

[@DeadPlayin]

What are you trying to say 😭

[@houragents5490]

His legacy is just fine and he doesn't need to retire. These are just more silly narratives that have no actual weight in reality, especially the "he needs to retire" one.

[@DeadPlayin]

I mean, we all got our own opinions. I just feel like he has nothing to prove at this point. He’s my favorite artist, and has made some of my all-time favorite songs and albums, so it just disappoints me to see how radical he’s become. His legacy has been fine, but he’s just been staining it here and there in recent years

[@m.u.sik4eva]

Boy if you don’t take this down. Man making moves lightyears ahead of what most of us, and especially you, can even imagine. I’m at 0:01 and you’re already cooked. Delete this asap.

[@DeadPlayin]

This why these celebrities and musicians keep getting away with doing bad things. It’s cause people like you fail to hold them accountable for their wrong actions. I stated at the beginning of the video that Kanye is one of the most accomplished and well-known icons in pop culture history due to his hard work. Maybe if you actually watch the video, you’ll start to understand what I’m saying instead of immediately jumping to his defense

[@m.u.sik4eva]

@@DeadPlayin saying he ruined his legacy is the lie. You began with a lie in the title. The man is playing chess. You only know checkers. It’s cool though fam, no shade. But you gotta look at the larger bigger picture. He won.

[@whosaguhboi938]

I mean guys, Ye announced Yeezy Porn, that’s awesome right?

[@DeadPlayin]

😭😭😭😭 he’s so far gone

[@tribeofwolves]

Still time to delete this my brother

[@ryankramer913]

It’s true though

[@Maxootaze]

Facts. Still time to delete this.

[@DeadPlayin]

Stop glazing bro 😭 he’s my favorite artist, but I can clearly tell he’s declined

[@tribeofwolves]

@@DeadPlayin Ive been following his career since I was 15 in 03. It’s no decline. It’s just him at the moment. You tryna say this man should retire like Tupac or something. Hip-hop ends with Ye. He’s the James Brown of my generation in terms of influence and innovation (music and business). He’s just in his mustache era. And him supporting our true president isn’t a negative. Who was he suppose to take black issue to, Obama?? And how you clearly explain the context of the slavery comment, yet still counted it as a negative. Just sounded like an agent tactic to me.

[@DeadPlayin]

@@tribeofwolves I respect that you’ve been following him for so long, but so have I. Not as long as you ofc, but for the last 8 years and some change, he’s been my favorite artist. This video was made as more of a wake up call than me just hating on him. Yeah there’s some gags here and there to make fun of him, but that’s all it is. I clearly recognize his innovation and achievements since I clearly state that he’s one of the most accomplished musicians in history. Also, you must not have paid attention during the part of the video where I clearly said I don’t have a problem with him supporting Trump. I’m just stating that it is controversial to do so since Trump is also a controversial figure. I did explain the context of the slavery issue, which is why I said I understand it from the mental perspective. As another black person, I don’t agree with him generalizing it though when so many people were forced into it hundreds of years ago.

[@zzjamie-is-over-partyzz]

if you have an album that fantano calls “unreviewed” then yk you’re out of the industry 💀

[@DeadPlayin]

the kanye glazers arent gonna like this lmao

[@DeadPlayin]

yeahhhh, but who cares. i’m standing on all 10 toes with this one

[@SumDonkuss]

This isn’t Kanye, and I think they are set on having clone-ye destroy his legacy

[@ronaldorobertson4697]

It is kanye, just mentally destroyed, old and washed up. Hold Kanye accountable

[@alwaysascendingacademy]

You're right this is definitely a clone. Like how Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart's clones are out here riding off of the original's energy. Ever seen "They Cloned Tyrone"?

[@benjaminhenley9899]

Great video!

[@DeadPlayin]

Thanks a lot 🙏

[@SPACE-98]

Bro calling everyone who don’t like the video a glazer…can’t be the only defense G! Since the dawn of time people been glazing Ye either way going back and fourth with him depending on the latest outburst/ antic/ rollout/ album they didn’t like but always go back to meatriding! Y’all on dick!! Vultures was a good album, Donda was great but bloated, Donda 2 was unfinished, JIK was okay, YE/ KSG was a classic era &TLOP is the best out of new Ye…the man proved he can’t ruin his legacy, he’s tried many times…bro gonna keep making his music& being Ye, and y’all gonna keep listening & making videos bout the man…that’s that!

[@DeadPlayin]

I don’t care if people don’t like the video. I’m just saying for those who think Vultures is a good album, and that Donda isn’t bloated, they’re glazers. If you can’t tell that the man has lyrically declined and has resorted to using shock value and hate to get listens, then you’re wrong imo. To each their own tho 🙏

[@SPACE-98]

@@DeadPlayin I’m not tryna hate on your hustle bro keep making your shit cuz you make good points! I like vultures a lot because of how funny and horny it was, I think it was a really fun Ye album overall but I understand why some people don’t like it…my best friend hates it but loves Donda… I don’t think we can say he’s cooked lyrically just because vultures wasn’t a lyrically focused album… Donda still had tracks like Jesus lord& pure souls not to mention good songwriter songs like Jail& come to life…vultures had burn, problematic, and keys to my life which are good lyrical based tracks… I agree his current form isn’t as lyrically sharp as the past but I believe ye has alot more arcs he will go thru in the future and I’m sure he will have many more great verses over the years… I just can’t get with the narrative that he’s “ruined his legacy” because there had not been another rap artist that has been able to reach across all demographics and be as influential as Ye musically, and for as long as he has! Regardless of how you feel about vultures he’s proved that again with that album doing as well as it did. Eminem has dropped more bad albums then good ones and I wouldn’t even say he “ruined his legacy” necessarily, even though his catalogue is cooked at this point… I feel like ye is nowhere near that level of a downfall music wise if I’m comparing 1 to 1

[@SPACE-98]

@@DeadPlayin also I don’t agree that Kanye uses hate to shock necessarily, he is a provocateur and always has been! I Belive he is speaking his truth and sometimes speaks in broad terms to a fault, but that’s just how he’s always been in my eyes…not to mention people usually come around to understanding the points he tries to make

[@DeadPlayin]

@@SPACE-98 I appreciate it bro 🤘 I see what you’re saying when it comes to Vultures. I just want him to make 1 last lyrically focused album that will be a classic for years to them. In terms of ruining his legacy, it’s not just the lyrical decline either. It’s his numerous controversies as well that are weighing him and his family down. Kanye will always have good numbers when he drops cause he still has a lot of fans of his music, including me, that wanna see if what he drops is actually a banger or not. I’ll agree with the Eminem point too, cause his discography is top heavy as hell 😭

[@DeadPlayin]

@@SPACE-98 I get that, but going on hateful barrages just isn’t a good thing to do. His recent fiascos have been worse than those in the past
