Kanye West on Why He Doesn't Care About His Legacy | TIME

[@prod.rhodamine]

*video of kanye having a breakdown*: 10M views *video of kanye having an intelligent discussion*: 800k views its clear why so many have such a warped image of who he is....

[@ejguitar5452]

Agreed he always gets hate for no reason

[@kaien800]

because a breakdown is inherently more entertaining than a discussion to most people😪😪

[@raspberryjamOZ]

This comment is a good example of that, wdym breakdown?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's only a matter of comparison. 800k is not even, realistically, a small number.

Yeah "only" 21 Grammys, 3 albums on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" MBDTF, late registration, college dropout, also on Rolling Stone's the 40 most groundbreaking albums of all time - 808s & Heartbreak, and 6 multi platinum critically acclaimed albums. Kanye haters can't stand the fact that he's a legend.

[@shashwatshandle]

Saqib Munir Grammys doesn't make him the greatest.

[@realcrimson4284]

Shashwat Mann He didn't say it made him the greatest.

[@shashwatshandle]

this is what I conclude from the above comment.

[@manuelhung5523]

Saqib Munir this a hella late reply but one thing i dont think you understand is that statistics and awards are not what makes somebody great, kanye is great because he is exactly who he is, hes unfiltered and will not bend to the will of people in the music/fashion industry. Speaking your mind, being authentic, and doing the same in your pursuit is achieving greatness. He just happens to make incredible music too

Yeah then he lost his marbles (around when TLOP dropped)

He spoke misunderstanding things than they started making sense. When he ran for President, at that point i thought he was kidding. Saw media made a crazy image on his rally, i thought i was wrong about him, until watching a whole speech. It shows me he ran President not for winning purpose but wants his voice to be heard, he focuses alot about his community, wants the best to build a better life for black community by education, not be leaded by any political party. Did u realize that we made a music video, and started ran for President after all black lives matter movement, because he cares alot for his people. I dont idolize any celeb but this guy.
