yeezus alienated fans
he started raising eyebrows with confederate flags
why doesn’t this guy make a more forward thinking piece about the attraction people have towards a figure like ye? what is it about ye that keeps people coming back? maybe it’s a thirst for “authenticity” ina. growing my sterilized modern culture, that leaves little room for personal growth
now i’m not saying we should give forgiveness for a 50+ year old man to grow up. but this article refuses to engage in any meaningful way. it just rehashes the same things we’ve known ab ye for years.
at what point do we question, what is it about american culture that allows for a figure like Ye to continue making millions. what is it about Ye’s vitriol that reflects the desires and contradictions that underpin modern american culture ?
ye is only but a mirror of a larger cultural breakdown that’s happening, and this guy failed to really go anywhere with this article.

Another part I liked
He had redefined Black cool for an industry not built to recognize his (and our) full humanity, and he realized, while rapping on “All Falls Down,” “you still a nigga in a Coupe.” For someone with such astronomical aspirations, one way to stay sane when you keep butting up against the confines of racism might be to assert that they didn’t exist. Maybe that’s why he declared race “dated.” Who knows?
one cool thing he said

this guy makes his ny times article using the same talking about we been saying ab this guy for years. no actual digging, no actual cultural a***ysis. just the same “i miss the old kanye :( “ banter
i’m sick of writers who are more interested in reaching publications than actually pushing forward with thought provoking questions.

what is cool about ye’s image? what is cool about a man that choose to use dave blunts to write about sucking his cousins d***?
what is the “cool” factor about ye’s rebellion that keeps millions engaged with his art ?

He’s not really saying anything substantial besides “more white people like Kanye” so his antics will never alienate his current audience

You raise some good points but this is for the average NYT reader (not a Kanye forum regular), and serves as a useful timeline. It traces his fall from College Dropout to MAGA, antisemitism, and "slavery was a choice." More importantly, it highlights how his fanbase has shifted to younger, overwhelmingly non-Black fans who prioritize his individual success over collective Black progress. That's a key observation for readers who wasnt there. It also question how we and he has treated mental illness versus calculated image rehab.
The conclusion is that he's cultivated a new younger and whiter, right-wing adjacent audience that will stick with him forever, even as old Black fans walk away.
I agree that it doesn’t ask the deeper question of what this says about American culture itself, particularly concerning non-black Americans
