When do you think Kanye began to lose himself?
Listening to his music the album 808’s & Heartbreaks seems to show signs of him starting to become paranoid publicly. By the 2013 album “Yeezus” he’s declaring himself a god. But even “Black Skinhead” from 2010’s MBDTF shows signs he’s become hostile towards society. Idk man. I was a big fan of his first three albums and 808’s is his Magnum Opus imo. For all its simplicity it is a complex album with deep themes and strong melodic beats that are minimalistic yet effective. What do you all think? Idk where but somewhere it all went wrong for the guy and things seemed to spiral for a while. Last o heard he was trying to walk back a lot of the most egregious stuff he’d said and done but man it’s wild. He could have been remembered as one of the greatest rappers to love but his legacy will forever be tainted by his anti Semitic and anti Black rhetoric the naxi song and all that stuff. What a shame mental illness took him so far off course.
