recently, kanye declared that he was running for president of the united states, a move we all knew was coming but weren't quite prepared for 2020 to get this bad. the announcement surprised nobody, but brought up a lot of questions directed at kanye's mental health (though naturally, when interviewed, kanye did not talk about that but instead god and declared himself antivax). while i don't think america can get any worse than it already is with kanye at the helm, i also don't think this is ye's time. american politics are an actively burning dumpster fire in the middle of a field of tire fires, let's not someone with documented mental health issues run the nation.
you tried that once and look where it got you, america. learn from your initial mistake for once.
so my caveat to my love of kanye comes with the warning, concern, outright fear, americans will do the stupid thing and split the vote among democrats and yeezy's birthday party (what a fucking stupid name-- america, RUN the other way). i love creative kanye, the reasonably incendiary, outspoken kanye of my youth and not this unhinged version.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that i love the music, but i could pass on the guy who makes it. though i will give him a pass occasionally because living with unmedicated mental health problems is just terrible and he should find a balance.
anyhow, what i've been listening to for the last little bit. as excited as i was for the cudi/eminem piece, it's a terrible letdown. name a more iconic duo: 2020 and being letdown.
