Question for all of the Kanye fans or former Kanye fans:

With the recent antics Kanye’s been on for the last couple of years, specifically his political views, does it make it hard for you to listen to and/or celebrate his previous work as milestone anniversaries are coming up?

For example, today marks the 10th anniversary of the album that directly or indirectly influenced your favorite artists and changed the sound of a lot of music that we know of today in 808s & Heartbreak.

I was a huge Kanye fan, I loved everything from his earliest work to TLOP. I went to the Saint Pablo concert and at the time it was literally the best night of my life.

But his comments on slavery were so fucking stupid that I both stopped listening to his new stuff and deleted a lot of old stuff from my music library. Might seem extreme but his comments were so jarring to me even as a white guy that I couldn’t appreciate his old music the same. It’s like the message was lost.

The music is just not as a enjoyable anymore to me personally. He was my favorite rapper since 2008, now that I view him so differently and am no longer drinking the KoolAid his music went from great to good. So it’s a lot harder to appreciate his work.

That being said (and this is of course some bullshit on my end)I have little to no problem enjoying 808’s at all. The music is just so different and songs don’t have the same message as Jesus Walks or Gorgeous or New God Flow that his comments didn’t harm that album the same. I’m thankful for that because I remember how much shit he got for that album but it’s a classic and I love almost every song on it.

Kanye’s music got me through some shit but I couldn’t ignore his buffoonery. His words were awful, had the rhetoric was harmful to black people, and completely stripped his greatest songs of meaning to me.

Sorry for the rant lol, it just highlights how much I loved him and how disappointing his behavior has been. He doesn’t owe me shit but being the person I am it wouldn’t sit well with me to pretend he didn’t say those things and act like it didn’t affect his music.
