Opinion: “Clayton Bigsby” is running for office in 2024…

“I thought I was more Malcolm X but I found out I’m more MLK. Because as I’m getting hosed down every day by the press and financially, I’m just standing there. When I found out they tried to put me in jail, it was like a dog was biting my arm. I almost shed a tear, almost” – Kanye West (28.11.2022).

Who would have thought the skit and the comedic genius of Dave Chappelle from back in the day would be so relevant in 2022. The year of 2022, years after the final ending of the HBO’s series called Dave Chappelle. There are several skits and parts of it, which is relevant to this day. However, one character is more important than ever.

That is Clayton Bigsby, the African-American who was a KKK member and hated black people. That guy seems to be reflection of who Kanye Omari West has become. The recording artist, the music mogul and former billionaire.

His now on his second stint of running for President. The last one in 2020 was a mess and ill prepared. Kanye wasn’t even on the ticket in all states and barely got over 50,000 votes. So, it is not like Ye or Kanye has a big political base to begin with.

It doesn’t help with his outburst and his affiliations. The campaign team that he has surrounded himself with isn’t all that either. Unless, he wants to run on a crazy-MAGA, Alt-Right and close to fascist agenda, which maybe be true at this point. Has hired Nick Fuentes to be his Communication Director and Milo Yiannopoulos as his Campaign Director. In the middle of this, the banned YouTuber Sneako has also appeared. Therefore, his really associating himself with the fringes of society and the hardliners on the right.

The ones denying is that is stupid. It’s like Ye is seeking validation from the white. That he needs to be respected and acknowledged, because his somehow fighting their cause. It is hard to believe that a man like Kanye is associating himself and working with these people. However, he is and his seemingly thriving in their presence. I don’t know what it is… but the anti-Semitism, White Supremacy and ice-cold Nazi’s are now his folks.

That’s why his like the fictional Clayton Bigsby. A man who wore the cloak, spread the message against blackness and his hatred of it. Yes, he was blind and couldn’t see his own skin. However, the duality of that is clear in Kanye too.

We can with certainty expect more anti-Semitism and more such things. The latest short interview on Tim Pool’s Podcast only further this picture. Kanye isn’t built for an honest conversation. His just made for “yes-men” and be surrounded by people in his elitist sphere. That’s why he cannot come across as sincere or even understanding of the topics his discussing.

When he said in the short timespan that he was nearly like “MLK”. That wasn’t only like a Clayton Bigsby skit, but taken straight out of Boondocks. Sooner or later Kanye will re-appear in a real life adaption of a South Park episode. This time not saying “Gay-Fish” but going further down the rabbit hole into oblivion. Because, this 2024 campaign must be a golden opportunity for the boys along him. They are certainly paid on and on a pay-roll. These has fixed incomes and has to serve Kanye. While Kanye is making a fool of himself and just showing his ignorance.

We can just wonder if this sort of outbursts and ideals is resonating with the Republican voters of 2024. If Kanye is in the primary and even trying to conquer from with right. Since his aligning himself on the Alt-Right and wants to defend the insurrectionists. That’s why you know his aiming for the MAGA and the ones there. Which happens to be the base and the ones who has been loyal to Trump.

God knows how this will play out. I didn’t see this happening on my timeline. The 2020 campaign should have been a signal of a wasted candidacy. Kanye has no knowledge or idea of what the office entails. His a self-proclaimed genius who cannot even stomach criticism. Not even the slightest. Ye is a big snowflake himself… that is evident.

If he believes this and thinks this is wise. Well, sooner or later the world will crash around him. He will not only be condemn among the peers. Kanye will also empty his treasure-chest and all the avenues he still has. He has already lost a lot and could easily loose more. His reputation is in tatters and people are struggling to separate the artist from the art. When that happens… you know the game is up!

His now a glorified Clayton Bigsby and I wonder if his proud of it. Certainly, this man said once that George W. Bush “don’t like black people”. Now, he aligns himself with people who believes the white is the superior race and are blatantly racists. That’s his crowd now…

Maybe, Kanye even was signalling back in 2013 on “Black Skinhead” when he had a line saying: “Stop all that coon shit (Black)”. I don’t know, but his messaging and his visions of late… is more self destructive and into territories, which is self-hatred. That’s how it seems… as his going down this path. There is no return back now. Those bridges are burned… and this is far worse than wearing the red cap and visiting Trump at Trump Tower. No, this is another ball-game and his playing in a field he has no control over.

Ye will not get the favourable spin, but that will only happen in smaller fringe circles and not among the masses. He is certainly not among the peers he came into the music industry with. Neither with the supporters or the ones who bought into his character early on. Many of these has left him. Me included. This is far from who he was and the messages he spoke of back-then.

It is just tragic man, but we got a “Clayton Bigsby” running for Presidency in 2024. Peace.

Opinion: Kanye’s “Empire” is fading quickly

“Aftermath of Kanye West’s antisemitic comments:

Adidas cut ties

Balenciaga cut ties

Vogue and Anna Wintour cut ties

Dropped by talent agency, CAA

Dropped by lawyer

Streams, sales & airplay plummeted

Restricted from Instagram & Twitter

Stadium shows cancelled

Documentary shelved” (Pop Crave, 25.10.2022).

Kanye Omari West aka Kanye West aka Ye has created a storm surrounding himself. No one should feel sorry for him. In addition to the mentioned companies ceasing operations or agreements with Ye. There is the end of GOOD Music imprint under the Island Def Jam umbrella. Also, that JP Morgan also stopped having him as a customer and banking services. Meaning the statements and the words of Ye matter. Because, it wouldn’t have this effect, if the words was substantiated.

The hip hop mogul and fashion(ista) has now fallen short. His “empire” is now in the wind. He has gone from beloved and entrusted with collaboration with famous brands. Being tied to companies oozing of prestige and elegance. Now his just another bloke who has fallen short.

When Charlamagne The God (CTG) starts calling you “K-K-Kanye” you know the gig is up. This is just proving that Anti-Semitism isn’t a selling factor or a train-of-thought that is valuable. Maybe in the 4Chan and the sphere of Parler, which Kanye is soon entering. Though, it will haemorrhaging money, if he gets the transaction and get to takeover the social media site now.

This is the fall of grace, the Clayton Bigsby of the Dave Chappelle Universe or Uncle Ruckus of the Boondocks. Both characters could be played by Kanye in the recent time. That is not satire or even a joke, but a reality we live in.

It all started with a white-supremacist talking point, the “White Lives Matters” shirts at a fashion show. This continued with more outrageous talk on Tucker Carlson, Drink Champs podcast and beyond that. The ones entertaining this now… is just falling in a trap and the click-baiting is doing no good.

“K-K-Kanye” is tainted goods now. That’s why everything he has touched is falling out of grace. This is the opposite Midas Touch. The things he touches isn’t becoming gold, but going in the garbage. He haven’t only fallen off, but getting seriously “cancelled”.

There is a point of no return. There is an ending of all of this. His becoming a villain of his own story. That’s not for the betterment of society or even spread enlightenment. No, this isn’t done shine a light or be a beacon of hope. His just falling into a trap of failure and doing it deliberately. This cannot sell shoes, T-Shirts or CDs for that matter. People are even boycotting and stopping playing his songs on streaming services.

Right here his showing not to be a genius, but high on his own supply. A man lost in the bargain of validation and need for acceptance in a new political sphere. His not caring about the suffering or the plights of others. He just want to be the golden boy and the greatness of the MAGA crowds and the 4Chan community. That’s where his heading and Donald J. Trump is writing similar messages on his Truth Social. They are aligned in their bigotry, white-supremacist talking points and their rhetoric. Which is striking, but the sad reality in 2022.

A man that spoke of the plights of others and even blamed George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina and the destruction of New Orleans. Now, his the Clayton Bigsby and the Uncle Ruckus in the flesh. He is the living and breathing example of these now. That’s who “K-K-Kanye” has become. That’s what he has become, it is not smart, not wise or beautiful. It isn’t even a dark twisted fantasy, it is a tragic ending to a man who could have continued to inspire and used his platform for good. Instead he chose a path, which is only more self-destruction and being a voice of infringed white-supremacists. That’s the verdict today. Tomorrow it might be different, but there is nothing good coming out of this.

“K-K-Kanye” will act like a victim and a martyr. He will continue to spew the hatred and the rhetoric which brought him here. However, it will do him no good. Neither will it help his cause. His just showing us his character and what he has become. A man who has fallen and who don’t mind undermining his legacy…. Peace.

Opinion: Kanye becomes a Right-Wing Social Media site owner [since his now buying Parler!]

“And I’ll never let my son have an ego

He’ll be nice to everyone wherever we go

I mean, I might even make him be Republican

So everybody know he love white people” – Kanye West on “New Day” of ‘Watch The Throne’ (2011).

“NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 17, 2022 – Parlement Technologies announced today that it has entered into an agreement in principle to sell Parler, the world’s pioneering uncancelable free speech platform, to Ye (formerly known as Kanye West). Ye has become the richest Black man in history through music and apparel and is taking a bold stance against his recent censorship from Big Tech, using his far-reaching talents to further lead the fight to create a truly non-cancelable environment. “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” says Ye” (PR Newswire – ‘Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire Parler platform’ 17.10.2022).

Kanye Omari West aka Kanye aka Yeezy aka Ye is now officially becoming the owner of Parler or Parlement Technologies. Which is really interesting, as it is founded by Rebekah Mercer. If your not familiar with her?

She has supported Donald J. Trump’s Presidential Campaign in 2016. Also, been a patron of Steve Bannon and Ted Cruz. In addition to the Mercer’s has funded Breitbart. Therefore, Parler is a right-wing social media house and not just a run-of-the-mill corporation. Not to forget, she also partly funded the Cambridge Analytica. This is why you should know what sort of character she is and that’s why it’s important for what Kanye West or Ye is buying.

Ye is buying a sort of 4Chan or Gab. This is just another one of them. Not to forget to mention Truth Social or Gettr for that matter. The Right-Wing media is so scattered and spread out. Now Ye is getting direct ownership of it.

Currently the Parler website isn’t the biggest, in the last three months there been 1.3 million visits and the duration on the page is about 3 minutes. Which is very little if we were to compare with Twitter, Instagram or Facebook for that matter. That we know is the main competition and where it wants to aim at.

Parler isn’t a big company either. It has like 6 employees and 9 connections to it. It was only in September 2022 that the company rebranded itself to be “uncancelable” whatever that means, because we know a leftist on the site would be booted out quickly.

Protect Young Eyes says this about Parler:“Is Parler safe for kids? No it isn’t. The 17+ rating in Apple’s App Store is the right spot. This is a social platform made by adults and 100% for adults. Why? Because the Community decides what stays and goes. I understand that Parler wants to be a refuge for those who are tired of political censorship, but they are trusting human nature to figure out what’s best for humans. Time will tell if this works! In the history of the Internet, this just doesn’t tend to go well (related post: Deep Web, Dark Web Explained)” (Protect Young Eyes – ‘Parler App Reveiw’).

We can expect it to be in this lane. Kanye West or Ye has drifted in this way for so long. The latest controversies are showing it too. His association not only with Trump and Candance Owens. That’s just who he is and buying Parler is just a reflection of that. This is who he has become and it’s evident now.

Now we know that he takes over Mercer’s former social media house. It is really happening after the company has fundraised over $36 million dollars. Therefore, he should expect not only to acquire this, but he has to fund the operation too. Especially, if his a serious owner. This isn’t a quick or simple purchase…

A digital company needs liquidity and continued funds for it’s operations. Especially, if the company is lacking revenue streams or such. With the viability and the amount of users. I have a hard time seeing Parler becoming profitable. Unless, Ye can unleash new crowds on the site. This is something time will tell, but don’t get it confused.

This is and will be a parental advisory page for the right-wing. Ye will not change this. His inheriting Mercer’s page and now his stepping into a new avenue. Peace.

Opinion: Kanye is too far gone…

“We’ve dealt with bigger problems than these stupidities” (…) “But, you know, the communists blame the Jews for being capitalists, the capitalists blame the Jews for being communists” (…) “You have a problem, blame the Jews. It’s old stuff. It shouldn’t have any place in civilised discourse” – Benjamin Netanyahu (Interview on Bill Maher’s HBO Show, 14.10.2022).

The recent Drink Champs Interview with Kanye Omari West aka Ye aka Yeezy has shown me that his a lost one. Certainly, his just showing his tropes, ignorance and lack of concern to his rhetoric in concern to the Jews. Just like speaking about them this wouldn’t be right to do about African-Americans or anyone else. It is just showing his character and how blissfully unaware he is.

In the end, it isn’t like Kanye needs me or my support. I used to listen his to music and bought several of his CDs. The last one of the trilogy was the Graduation. The three first LPs are mind-blowing and relevant to this day. That showed his craft together with the beats he produced for others like Jay-Z and The Game to mention a few. It isn’t like Kanye doesn’t have qualities and has delivered a proper body of work. Yes, he has and his a billionaire for a reason.

However, this isn’t about his musical abilities, his way of being able to monetize his fandom and create products like shoes or clothing-line. In those fields he has succeeded and been able to sell overpriced white-tees for that matter. That’s a “win” and he can be commended for that. Nevertheless, I will not sing for the choir.

The tweet that got him banned on Twitter was justified. He continued and pursuit it further on Drink Champs. The little snippets of the Tucker Carlson interview wasn’t making things better either. Both these interviews only shows how his using ancient conspiracies and rhetoric against the Jews. Therefore, his not making things better, but worse actually.

If you want to self-inflict wounds and later call yourself a victim, be my guest, but that’s a work of fool and not of a brilliant man. Neither was Ye or Kanye speaking of profound truths at the Drink Champs. His rambling and pinning the Jews onto everything. That’s not new in history or rhetoric, which we haven’t heard before. That’s why it was easy for the former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kanye is actually becoming a “Clayton Bigsby” character of sorts. The mannerism and the way he speaks. He could just be the fictional character in real life. It is tragic that the character made by Dave Chappelle can be pinned on Kanye in 2022. However, this is where we are and obviously Kanye is a lost one.

He don’t need my support or any anything from me. His a billionaire and will live large for the rest of his life. The recent controversies will not matter to him in the long-run. He has had moments like in the past and later released new content. We should expect something similar in the future too. Nevertheless, it’s becoming tiring and there is no redeeming factors.

No doubt he will have supporters and people buying into the enigma called “Ye” but, the reality still remains, that he has lost a lot of fans and former listeners by his outbursts or problematic takes. That’s why his not so regarded is certain circles. I also have an issue when a person like him wants to enlighten people, when his proud of never reading books. If he wants a true deeper understanding of a topic or a historical fact. That’s the way to go and he should know better, but his ego is to big to do so. Peace.

Opinion: Kanye don’t Deluxe this

This Sunday Kanye Omari West aka Ye aka Yeezy dropped his newest project “Donda”. This is following up the 2019 “Jesus is King”. The 2021 Kanye is no difference from this. I have listed to Kanye since the College Dropout, which dropped in 2004. So, at some points of time I couldn’t wait for his releases. However, with time that has ceased with time.

Not like the “Jesus is King” which was totally a holy and Christian project. This one is a mixed blend of both Christian and Secular music. However, as a Christian, I can only all call the music and texts used in the Christian songs as superficial. It is like a staged faith based project.

So, many of the songs is a continuation of the “Jesus is King”. It is artificial Christianity and this shouldn’t be awarded on the Dove Awards. However, they did this with the previous one and could easily do it again. Still, for a guy like me… I don’t get it, but the amount of units and headlines. He makes the awards more relevant, I suppose.

What is striking is that the secular songs are filled to the brim with features. There is a lack of Kanye on them. That is really showing and the album is so long as well. So many songs and plenty of filler tracks. It is filled with the “Life of Pablo” rejects. A bath of autotune and the features are stealing the show like Roddy Ricch, Jay-Z and The Weekend. These artists outshine Kanye on his own project.

I have a feeling Kanye misses the writing credits of Consequence. Because, the bars isn’t as hitting and there is very few to mention, if any. This isn’t an album made for bars and neither is it filled with sampling. Only one song I could taste the sample and felt an old Kanye vibe for a second. However, that was a short-lived enterprise.

I am used to on a hip hop album that the intro or the first track is savage. That the artist shows all parts of his or hers craft. Where all the flows, metaphors and proves to the world why we should listen to this project at all. Here, it’s singer Syleena Johnson saying “Donda” what feels like an eternity and a bad idea. However, the self-proclaimed “genius” thought this was a profound exercise.

Well, I am shocked that he did that, but it is just as his repetition like he did on that Lil Pump track a few years ago. It feels like the “Good Ass Job” album came back in to rotation. That’s what we are listening to now.

It is either splendid or grandeur, but a mixed fortune of artists, styles and modernity with a fashionable blend of Christianity. It is making Christian Dior into Jesus Christ. There is no deep or profound messages. Neither, is it taken anything from ancient psalms or biblical scriptures. Just posturing, which is degrading it really. The same was the thing with “Jesus is King” and “Donda” is a 2.0.

That’s why this sort of music isn’t for me. I know Kanye can make wonderful music and have done so in the past. He has made albums and records I listen too till this day. That being the fist three LPs and “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”. Since then there haven’t been a project from me. This is not changing with project either.

Donda is also way to long and I couldn’t wait for it too end. That’s not the feeling I want. I want to look forward to return. In these times its tradition from the music industry to Deluxe every project. Therefore, expect that possibly here… he shouldn’t but he might be forced to do so.

Kanye is Kanye… and forever will be. That’s why this wasn’t for me. Peace.

Opinion: Kanye is an “independent” Republican candidate…

“And I’ll never let my son have an ego

He’ll be nice to everyone, wherever we go

I mean, I might even make him be Republican

So everybody know he love white people” – Kanye West on ‘New Day’ (2011)

If you thought 2020 couldn’t be more insane. Where the White House wouldn’t use all tricks to win in November. They are now Using Kanye Omari West aka Kanye West. The shoe-selling, clothing-brand, music mogul and artist are now Republican operative.

White House Innovation Director Jared Kushner, the Son-In-Law had a secret meeting with Kanye West in Colorado. This is similar to the secretive meeting the Trump Campaign had with Russian operatives ahead of the 2016 elections. Again, this has been revealed. While there is more to this too.

There are Republican lawyers working on overtime to secure the West ticket on the most states as possible with fraudulent signatures. Where they have to petition the local authorities and sue to get-in. The Kanye West candidacy is already late in some states, but they hope to get him on the ticket n swing-states to siphon votes.

They hope Kanye can eat the Jill Stein votes and Gary Johnson of 2016. So, that they are taking just enough votes from the Democratic ticket. Even if Kanye has been selling himself as a MAGA lover, a Trump supporter and a Conservative.

We know all of this. He has been crying on stage, held a weird campaign rally and still pushing this through. Republican backers and even secret meeting with White House Officials like Jared Kushner. Kanye even said they talked every day. That is insane.

If there ever was co-ordination between a third party candidate and Republican party. They are in a way fielding a third party without using the ticket of its own. Because, the Republican can only field one Presidential Candidate. That is why Kanye is a tin-soldier, a puppet to create a circus and theatre for the public.

Kanye must be a proud millionaire. Who are willingly to be used and possibly do illegal activity through his campaign. Using his platform, his name and his position to weaken opposition Joe Biden. Even if your not a fan of Biden. Would you feel okay, if the Biden and the Democratic Party had issued another third party candidate to weaken Trump? Sending a David Duke or another dog-whistle just to tease and play for the guards to duck into the base of Trump.

Kanye might like the publicity. This is making headlines and he doesn’t have to use money to issue an LP or a single. However, his trading away his legacy and what he came into the early stages of career. Instead of known for quality epic beats, his now known for being a Republican operative shielding as a “independent”. How biased and dumb isn’t that?

We know his a Kardashian by marriage. The new Kanye isn’t that stable. Some are worried about his mental state. However, what should worry about is when the truth of all the things done behind closed doors are released. When everyone involved in the campaign and the co-operation between the White House and Kanye. The world can see how he was a tool and a pawn for the Donald. That is what value he has for them.

Kanye might see this a ego boost. However, his being used and the Republicans are doing this waste votes. They don’t care about Kanye or what he stands for. His the nail in a coffin for them. It is tragic that he will use his space for this, instead of all the positive things he could have achieved with his platform, popularity and wealth.

Kanye, how do you like do be used?

Kanye, how to you like to be a means to a greater purpose, which isn’t your own?

Kanye, how do you enjoy the spoils of being a tin-solider?

Last question:

Kanye you said once “Bush doesn’t care about black people”, do you think Trump cares about you?

Nah, he don’t and he doesn’t care about black people either. So, its beautiful that your being used by the people, who you used to despised in the past… Peace.

Opinion: Kanye is a non-starter

Kanye Omari West or Kanye West is not the sort of fella I expected to see in a Presidential race. Not to mock him or anything. Barrack Obama called him a “jack-ass” and that’s for a reason. The man is so self-centred, that the world doesn’t move along its own axis, but in his mind around his feet. That is the sort of person, Mr. West is.

So, on the 4^th July, the Independence Day he launched his candidacy. The Federal Election Commission has nothing registered on him. Unless, he is using the “Kanye Deez Nuts West” for who is running for the Green Party. His by the way involved in the Kanye WestPac, which is run by treasurer Jeffrey Graham, based in Longmont, Colorado. A PAC created for the single candidature of Kanye West. That was registered the 31^st August 2015. That have been planned for a while. The only documentation in that the PAC didn’t deliver it failed to fill in reports to the FEC in 2015 and 2016. Who knows, if the musician is thinking of reviving this WESTPAC.

With this in mind, the rapper haven’t prepared the paperwork or his legal team on the move of becoming a President in the Republic. The election is in November and surely some states his to late to register his candidacy. The man has no previous history as an elected official, and the US should consider electing that sort of fella twice.

The GOOD Music Mogul, the Kardashian in-law and whatever else his trading. Surely has a lot up his sleeve. No matter what he does now. Its a Molotov cocktail into the elections. It seems more like Kid Rock statement, who in 2018 wanted to run for the Senate as the Michigan Senator. However, that never happened.

If this was a publicity stunt, it would make sense. The man cannot shock the world with outrageous statements anymore. He has used the dictionary and showed his ignorance. Secondly, the man haven’t been political consistent, unless its his own self interest. He is one of the President’s Men and one of the proud supporters of Trump. Therefore, this is speculated to be ploy too.

No one really knows. We cannot know. It is not like the man is that stable. One minute his Yeezus, the next his Yandi and in a later edition his just Ye’. So, God’s know where his mind is and why he operates like this.

When you thought the Stormy Daniels scandal before the 2016 election was off the chains. This is more of the same. This man isn’t ready or have the ability to be a Presidential Candidate. There been plenty of drop-outs in the Democratic Party Race who would be more fit in a heart-beat. However, Mr. West can get his handlers to run his clothing-line, recording company and whatnot. But running the Republic?

How much more Circus does the United States need? Haven’t there been enough jokes and insincere reign the last 4 years with a reality-star named Trump?

West will only become a laughing-stock. He will not win. As an independent candidate in the cross-fire with the Libertarian Party, Green Party, Democratic Party and Republican Party. He will be the fifth wheel. Not that the two first parties has any chance too. It is a Biden versus Trump race by all means.

West is just a odd-ball and a wrecking-ball. If he stands, in the states he can still register. He will only be a punchline. He will not even drop a feature of 16 bars. Peace.

Review of Kanye West’s “Jesus is King” …

“When I thought the Book of Job was a job” – Kanye West on ‘On God’ 2019

Let it be said, I am a hip-hop head, but this album seems forced out quickly, short-sighted production and lack of clarity in the lyrics. It seems like Kanye West have a new way of dropping music. But it is neither spectacular nor unique. The NF of the world, the Christian rappers has done this for decades. There is nothing shape-shifting.

Other than getting Kanye from dropping bars with curses, sex, drugs and shallow wealth, which has done most of his career. That is why Kanye West should have had more Christian rappers like No Malice, the one part of Clipse. Who totally changed his style and his musical aspiration from what he did in secular Clipse with his brother Pusha T.

There wasn’t any redeeming factor in this album for me. The beats and singing felt weird. The tone of the album. It was even a bit scary and creepy. That’s not the sort of feeling I want when listening to music.

Kanye West might mean well and trying to figure out his own life on this album. But the music isn’t for me. That is after one listen on youtube. I am not a fan. This is not for me. I rather listen to Kirk Franklin or a Mario Winans, if I want something spiritual, because this isn’t it. Jerusalem or something even.

Kanye is Kanye, that you feel on the album. But its not the old Kanye and not the obnoxious new Kanye either. It is just the weird Kanye. That doesn’t stick to me. I don’t feel it or grasp it.

I haven’t really listen that much of Kanye since ‘Life of Pablo’ since his music has gone a bit down over the years. Less and less time for production, good samples and ghostwriters like Consequence and so-on. Which is lacking and shows. It isn’t the greatness nor the beats to support the craft.

This was a big downer. What might save him? Well, if he put in the work. Actually collaborate with more Christian acts and actually tries dig deep into the scriptures or gospels. Because, this could have been made by a new Christian rapper with no discography in the basement in New England before released world-wide.

This wasn’t it. A bad album. A really bad album. We all need redemption and need salvation, but there is nothing saving him here. Peace.

You don’t won’t it with Push!

“How could you ever right these wrongs/ When you don’t even write your songs?/ But let us all play along/ We all know what niggas for real been waitin’ on/ Push” – Pusha T on Infared (Daytona, 2018)

Man, this rap battle between Drake and Pusha T has shown more character and flair on wax, than in years. It is like revival of character and of disses. The down low and nice talk is over. Pusha T from the Clipse is showing class and higher altitude than the most. He is not afraid to go against Drake, the Cash Money, Young Money rapper, who’s been on top of the game for the last few years.

People and commentators was saying, waiting for a response after the Duppy Freestyle, that Pusha was over with and that Drake had won the thing. However, with the latest track, certainly Drake has to come with something really profound and deep. Not to be upset, but really angry. He has to show a vicious side he hasn’t shown before. And that is not him, Drake is a soft and mellow character, who bitch about woman who doesn’t text quickly enough. Drake isn’t a gangster or a hard-core persona. That isn’t him and he should live with that, just like Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino is doing. It is okay, but don’t try to front on someone like Pusha, he will call you out and he did on ‘The Story of Adidon’.

“I really shouldn’t have given you none of my time/’Cause you older than the nigga you runnin’ behind/Look, holla at me when you multi-million/I told you keep playin’ with my name and I’ma let it ring on you/Like Virginia Williams” – Drake on ‘Duppy Freestyle’ (2018)

That the ‘Duppy Freestyle’ was a positive response to the ‘Infrared’ from the Daytona LP. However, Drake has to come something more unique and show other tools to take down the recent track. As the revelations and the stories are so shoddy, that the meekest turns into their dark-side.

Pusha T has the upper-hand, he has shown even with waiting for three days, that he could answer Drake. It was seemingly like the battles between Nelly and KRS-One, that the one with the biggest machinery would win, in this instance Drake, as he has the Cash Money and the giant fan-base compared to Pusha T and Good Music. However, now it seems like a open playing field. As the exposure and the title is exposing a naked truth that Drake doesn’t want out or has tried to hide. That is really going all out, but that was in response of mocking Pusha T’s fiancé. Clearly, that backfired. Backfired with all cylinders.

Because now you see the significant difference between them, as Pusha goes directly at Drake, he is not attacking Birdman or Lil Wayne, which is still done in passing. As the knowledge of the messed up practices between the artists and the label is well documented at this point. That is why Birdman has to answer all the litigations and the label-mates leaving because of the practices done there.

“We talkin’ character, let me keep with the facts/You are hiding a child, let that boy come home/Deadbeat mothafucka, playin’ border patrol, ooh/Adonis is your son/And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that’s real/Love that baby, respect that girl/Forget she’s a pornstar, let her be your world, yuugh!” – Pusha T on ‘Story of Adidon’ (2018).

Pusha T answered it all and fired back. This will hard to come back from and answer too. As the reality is the exposure and stories told on Adidon is showing a character side of Drake, that isn’t the heartthrob, but a dead-beat-dad and in this day and age. That is not a good look. It has never been a good look, especially when your supposed to be as wealthy and successful as Drake. That he cannot spend his time with his kid and acknowledge his seed. That is really hurting the pride of Drake and his camp should feel it. But that is because he mocked Pusha for being engaged to someone, like that was a bad thing. By the way, I don’t get why that is bad.

After this sort of affair, what did really ‘Duppy’ have? Right? Not much, other than hype, just like if you would read the bar for bar fight between KRS and Nelly from the early 2000s. It would feel like repeat. What Drake should have known, that Pusha will go all out and not stop at anything. He is no Meek Mill, he is a pure lyricists and that has been known for a long-long time. Proven by the recent joints.

So if he fires back, he has to go deep into the tool shed and really light a fire, but will Drake have it? I don’t know, but to go as hard as this, then your really digging deep. Sort of like Jay Z on ‘Super Ugly’ where he did say:

“Me and the boy A.I. got more in common than just balling and rhyming/Get it? More in Carmen/I came in your Bentley backseat, skeeted in your Jeep/Left condoms on your baby seat” – Jay Z on ‘Super Ugly’ (December 2001).

That is the next level for Drake. However, will he go there and does he dare to go there? Because that is the next step, that is the upgrade from Duppy and to be able to counter Pusha at this point. Peace.

Hva har Big Sean og 50 Cent til felles?

Man, kan tenke seg at de har en masse til felles. De er begge to store rappere på store plateselskap som har fått stor hjelp av større stjerner før dem. 50 Cent fikk hjelp av Eminem og Dr.Dre. Big Sean ble en del av Kanye West’s GOOD Music plateselskap. Derav har begge tjent på deres affiliering med store «helter» i hiphop verden. Men, det er ikke dette jeg skal vise til idag. Heller ikke om de har vært i hop med samme video-vixen, det kan ha skjedd, men har ingen anelse om eller bryr meg om. Derimot synes jeg det er gøy å se på disse to musikkvideoene! Om du kjenner igjen huset og bassenget! De har filmet på samme sted i LA. Fantastisk fun fact ikke sant!

Først viser jeg Big Sean:

Nå den nyeste singelen fra 50 Cent:

Hvis jeg er uheldig så tar jeg feil, uansett ser det sabla likt ut på begge videoene. Noe en person som meg legger merke til. Uansett, kos deg med singlene. Big Sean snart kommer ut i 2013 med ‘Hall of Fame’, 50 Cent kommer ut med ‘Street King Immortal’ i 2013. 2013 it is!
