This is the point where he lost me forever as a fan. I knew, I fucking knew, when he put out that single it was inauthentic, disingenuous, and just some woke, brownie points nonsense. And I got SHITTED on in whatever circles I called this out on.

"You should be happy it exists" https://twitter.com/wowthatshiphop/status/1249909831508557825">https://twitter.com/wowthatsh...

"You should be thankful people think about you at all"

"All that matters is he& #39;s spreading the message, look at all the people he saved"

The last thing is the only legitimate counterpoint, but the positive results doesn& #39;t make the shady intentions less so.

Then the new songs-

-came out. All those 1-800 bars flexing about the money he got co-opting mental illness and using it to show off how "sentimental" he is, and the Ye bar about being bipolar... that FUCKING bar. If I didn& #39;t feel righteous about knowing it was fake from day 1, I would be furious.

I can take rappers saying stupid things like wishing people to die in a pandemic like Gucci

I can take rappers pedalling conspiracy theories like Royce and MIA being anti-vaxxer idiots

Using suicide and mental illness as a prop to stroke yourself? Eat my ass and relate to that.
