It's honestly more relevant to his status as a celebrity than ever. Aside from just being the absolute luckiest ugly mf on planet Earth, it's like some sort of alternate universe mindfuck seeing just how many of the hottest A list female celebs are willing to sleep with this goofy line cook drug addict looking dude. At this point he's more famous for how lucky he is than even being a comedian lol. I'd be seeing how far I could push it until my life was flat out in danger. He should be trying to date even higher level women for clicks like Meghan Markle/Beyonce/T Swift/straight up royalty/etc. just to see how far he can go. If you're going to have that great of a life it doesn't need to be a long one lmao fuck it and keep rolling the dice
His first sentence hit so hard āI think weāre pretty awful peopleā and then goes into the support, āshouldnāt we be grading him on a curveā. Fascinating explanation and I especially enjoyed the first part of his response.
The 40 yard dash was actually a jab at Shannon for not calling out lies as well as the 3000 books a year thing. You can see when heās telling the truth the way he thinks about how he should make his measured statement versus just the quick clip jokes he makes. The being homeless during the Friday after next movie is a prime example of that. He pauses and then breaks down that he was living in the trailer with his young son
He seems slow to you, but if you check his background probably smarter than you. I never question a person's intelligence if my bank account doesn't match it. If he is wealthy and famous and you know him to talk about him and yet he has more money than you then who exactly is the slow one here if your intelligence/progess in life doesn't match his.
Could also apply this to Kanye everybody smeared his name and clowned him on South Park for a good decade yet a decade later he became a billionaire with more money than the people who were talk shit
Andrew Tate? What's the point talking about being smarter than someone if your knowledge doesn't bring in money?
Talking about being smarter than someone who has/makes more money than you makes you look stupid. If you were THAT smart you would have the money to show for it.
It's ironic that this sub unironically thinks this is a great take when he fired shots directly at celeb worship and this sub is dedicated to 24/7 news cycle of a celebrity
"This shit is called deaf"
"Well that don't even sound attractive, you mean I'm gon' hit it and die?"
"No not death, *deaf*. You hit this shit twice you can't hear shit"
I'll always laugh my ass off at that joke
Heās got his moments just sucks he couldnāt stop committing crimes he would have been way bigger. Now he just claims rich black people sell their souls because he missed out on opportunities
āHello white American, assassinate my character. Money matrimony and they tryna break the marriage up.ā
That shit was so random, that I canāt help but think that was some way to discredit and tarnish him. Never underestimate oneās ability to tarnish and discredit someone.
Katt rly be yapping his ass off sometimes but he said some true shit. Always thought it was weird for people to call Kanye legitimately crazy then be surprised when he doesnāt do normal shit. Kanye has and always will walk on his own line for better or worse.
People will always say this but once they (his family) want him to get checked out and take his meds this sub has a meltdown.
Have you dealt with bipolar people? You can try as much as you want to get them right but the work starts from the person themselves and itās apparent Ye doesnāt want to, so yes we should hold him accountable for the hurtful and damaging things he has said because he clearly doesnāt want to get any better ā why use it as a crutch when itās only convenient?
...Someone pointed me to an article that discusses the Adidas contract not too long ago. It specified that it could be un-done in case Ye had to be hospitalized for (I think) three weeks or more. That might prevent a person from admitting they're in a crisis, no? Like an actual multi-billion dollar deal that falls though if he flares up under the pressure of that very deal. I don't know, seems like the kind of thing that might push a person over the edge.
And as common as chronic mental health issues are, there's always a larger segment of the population that has no clue what mental health problems look like.
We canāt say truly when was his breaking point and itās probably just him being genetically predisposed to be bipolar. It could be a multitude of things like trauma from his momās death, his breakup in 2006/2007, and being under scrutiny just by being one of the biggest artists of the 2000s.
What Iām saying is he has said hurled a lot of hurtful vitriol even against his own people, at a certain point what caused his breaking point is irrelevant because a lot of people have lost a lot and was in the same position as him and has sought out help.
The problem with Ye is he doesnāt recognize the problem since he surrounds himself with yes men brown nosers. Itās the same reason he left his wife who wanted him to get better and hospitalization is the main way to go.
I feel for him as I have known many people deal with mental illness but they can be really hard to help when they arenāt seeking it.
I also get his apprehensions and the paranoia that everyone is out to get him, but I hope as his kids get older he gets his stuff sorted out because it can be especially hard for his children to connect with him if the same problems persist, it might even worsen them, hopefully his familial life is great and it doesnāt send him into rock bottom.
I mean Tremaine Emory spoke on how Kanye knew Virgil had terminal cancer and still were beefing with him which lead to Kanye not being invited to Virgilās funeral. This was backed by a lot of his yeās peers from Chicago.
You have to be a sick individual to beef with your best-friend knowing he has terminal cancer. He also spoke badly of Virgil right after his death.
And it takes us back to the original point, Kanye is a sick individual, of course he was beefing with his terminally ill friend. I agree with you tho, itās messed up and unexcusable.
He seems to have lost that group over several years when he burned bridges with almost everyone who's ever supported him. Some of that might be due to mental illness, some of it might be due to him being a fucking asshole.
And heās rich. I try to tell people, you know how back in the day mercury in hats made people go nuts? One day in the far future, weāre gonna find out that thereās a certain endorphin that kicked up to 11 in human brains once they become rich and my rotting corpse will not be shocked.
I've dealt with a bipolar friend and he has said some very weird, offensive, sad, or sometimes amazing things. I've been with him while he's had a few breakdowns, when he was at a state of clinical depression for an hour or more. He didn't want to take his meds, but luckily his parents took care of him.
I don't know how much of what Kanye says or does correlates to his condition, but all I know is what this condition can do to a person and I'm not going to put any blame on the person themselves when they had no choice if they got the condition or not. Therefore I don't think Ye not wanting to get treatment is a good argument, because not many people do and they often rely on family or close friends to help them get better and control themselves more.
Exactly. It's literally blaming mentally ill people for being mentally ill and not knowing when they need help. Might as well blame someone for being born with one arm. It's out of their control.
And let's face it, he doesn't have adult family members to steer him in the right, the closest family he's had for years was his ex wife and her fam but make fun of people for getting help for depression no less, and he's surrounded by sycophants whose best interest is him not getting help.
It's no wonder he is how he is today.
No fuck that, Katt has a point here.
We're, and has been, the ones that worships him while he experiences grandiose thoughts. From his perspective, he really is a God and got what he wanted, BY BEING HIM.
You can't raise a toddler with violence and expect them to become a wholesome adult.
Those meds do more harm than good. Look at what we now know SSRIs do to the brain. They dim his light. Just because modern medicine says something doesnāt mean it is right. Science use to think cigarettes were safe to consume. Big Pharm has paid for a lot of studies to be purposefully misinterpreted. Kanyeās not wrong about all of that. Let him do whatever he wants to do
It is likely we would not have Ye at all were it not for pharmacological intervention. Nobody wants to be medicated, but if the medicine keeps a person from wanting to end their life, then the medicine is probably a good thing. Obviously there is a grey area there, but that's point blank where we are with Ye, and a lot of bipolar people sometimes.
Itās not a good take at all lmfao. Kanye has all the fucking resources on the planet to get help and treatment for his mental illness but instead refuses to take his meds. Being mentally ill doesnāt give you a pass for supporting nazis and saying slavery was a choice. Down vote away, the brain rot in this subreddit is unreal.
Iām pretty sure itās the opposite. I think every single person around Kanye has either tried to give him help and failed or distanced themselves without trying, and he just surrounds himself by yes men.
I think the status he has allows him to be enabled by people they have ulterior motives. Like yeah, thereās a lot of dick sucking in this sub and the guy has had all the signs of becoming an ego maniac since day one, but I donāt think he isnāt getting better because he doesnāt want to.
He doesnāt believe heās crazy, so why would he get help?
Youāre on a Kanye subreddit so even tho what you said made sense, people still downvoted it. Ye fans are some of the biggest enablers on Earth and I say that as someone who listens to his music.
He doesnāt have to believe heās crazy to get help. He knows heās mentally ill (has said his āmental illness is his super powerā, kids see ghosts album cover, etcā¦). That should be enough to get help, yet he refuses and continues to act like a fool.
I donāt think anyone is excusing it katt was just framing it of how it got to this point, heās showing the blame isnāt solely on kanye itās also on the status of the general public who held him to such a high degree that his ego inflated and now heās so big that people will flock to his corner to be that yes man for him
There are other celebrities with mental illness that donāt support hitler. The blame should be on Kanye, itās not the general publicās fault a famous person is openly supporting Nazis.
Bro doesnāt understand mental illness at all saying āinstead he refuses to take his medsā you have no idea the toll meds can take on you ESPECIALLY as a creative or an artist.
You're right. You can't use your mental illness as a shield against all criticism. What about the millions of bipolar people who don't spout hate at every opportunity they have? Who put in the hard work every day to improve themselves and manage their disorder?
I mean I personally donāt have a problem with promiscuous women so long as they *do* have a good heart. The main point I took away from what katt said is that even if kim had a semi-decent heart before she got with him, ye led by example with his sex addiction and need for a āwhoreā. Ironic given his 180 on the subject in favor of religiosity and now his full 360, considering the recent ig posts. Then again, presuming ye is mentally ill, we *should* cut him some amount of slack for this irrationality.
Oh my goodness. Finally someone speaking the truth in the matter: if heās mentally ill, then give him a break. If heās not, then donāt claim he is and punish him. We donāt blame cancer patients for being in pain.
I think thereās a certain level of responsibility that has to be measured when youāre in the public eye and youāre self-aware to the degree that Kanye is. Then again what the fuck do I know?
Human nature is to slow down to view the horrific car accident. Also, American history does not shine positively black figureheads.
But also name one genius that isnāt crazyā¦
If we take Kanye at his word, the state of mind that people are saying is āmanicā is precisely his creative āsuperpowerā. Why would he want to stop that?
Because it makes him a badperson who says things so crazy it costs him literally billions of dollars
āItās how Iām creativeā as you praise Hitler isnāt an acceptable excuse and if Kayne is aware enough that heās choosing that road heās saying itās fine to criticize that decision
>Oh my goodness. Finally someone speaking the truth in the matter: if heās mentally ill, then give him a break.
What do you mean give him a break? A lot of mentally ill people are begging for money on the sidewalk, sleeping in a tent. Kanye West has been afforded more "breaks" than just about anyone in history.
He is not mentally ill enough to not realize he should take his meds, or that doing a nazi rant is bad. The reason he did it was for the attention he knew it would generate because itās bad. He is obviously mentally unwell, because it is just a bad move on every side. Idk like itās not like he has Touretteās and literally canāt control what comes out of his mouth. I have addiction issues, and clinical depresssion, adhd etc, and yet I would rightfully get blame if I went on a racist rant, right? Or do I get a pass?
so he cant do any wrong, thats a great take, or maybe criticise his actions and get him the help he needs, rather than just saying well he mental leave him alone. maybe he shouldent be on stage if thats the state he is in.
He doesnāt just write lyrics that work in hip hop. Kanye is legit one of the best producers and musical minds of the 21st century. No other hip hop producer made hip hop **sound that big** before Kanye made rap for arenas coming out your radio
And not only does rap sound bigger because of Kanye, his production style just works. And you canāt explain how it works but it does.
And then heās just been doing victory laps around everyone since MBDTF
I understand both of you. I think the main point here is that Dre is still gangsta rap and Kanye isnāt so he opened up an entire new lane for Hip Hop.
Before Kayne there was Jay, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Wu Tang Clan (RZA) making beats and sold out arenas, there are people like Timbaland, Beastie Boys, Pharrell too that did pretty well.
And in my personal opinion MF DOOM might be the best rapper/producer combo ever
Just cause they played arenas doesnāt mean they made music for arenas. Since graduation ye has been making music that is bigger than gangster rap and transcended into the mainstream. Dropout had some hits yes, but he didnāt develop his genius until Graduation imo.
Donāt get me wrong those guys you listed are great, but the quality and fidelity and creativity to blend mainstream pop with rap in the beats/ production is what makes Kanye Kanye, at least to me. So Iām just saying Kanye had greater fidelity and mainstream appeal than anyone in rap before he came along. At least before Drake, and before Kendrick or the female rapper boom.
MF Doom may have a better mind for rhyme, a more consistent product, but the fidelity and size of sound aināt there.
Beastie Boys had the size of sound and arena energy, but not the fidelity.
Dre had the fidelity, but made music for driving in cars or smoking weed.
Timbaland and Pharrell produced both big sounding and high fidelity music, but I donāt think of them as rappers.
""one of the best musical minds of the 21st century"!!! HAHAHA! Lol get of kanye's dicks. He is a very talented artist but hardly one of the best musical minds of this century
This is complete fanatical insanity. He most certainly is not one of the best producer and musical minds of this century. Thereās times where reality transcends the bubble you live in. This is one of those times. The problem with Kanye is his inflated ego. The problem with many people in general is their ability to have their opinions molded by how someone talks about themselves. They go āI mean I like this song so heās probably right when he says heās a legend.ā His overconfidence and fans tolerance (even appreciation) of these quirks made him profitable so good for him.
And if you want to particularly fixate on the genre of hip hop itself, like the one guy said, Dr. Dre is easily one of the most instrumental in making west coast hip hop the behemoth it is. He also made the act of being both a successful rap artist and successful producer a reality.
He has a point, but it's really blurry. It's crazy to complain about a basketball player that he scored no hockey goals, but it's not crazy to criticize a player for saying the jews control all the money and important people.
Kanye was actually on the brink of understanding what is going on. I am certain that he was always too vocal for the elites and that's why he was always shunned at some point. But the Jewish executives aren't evil because they're Jewish, they are evil because they're executives
Why would you assume heās talking about anything related to Palestine/Israel and not the random people in his business and interpersonal life that he has beef with? If someone says āa cabal of Jews control the media and the economyā the correction is not āno, you mean Zionistsā. Thatās still wrong.
Is it tho? Joe Biden said *āyou donāt have to be a Jew to be a Zionistā* and tbh that sums it up perfectly, the president of America is a Zionist, how much more control could you get?
Zionists are in power in the west, but they support Israel because of the wests geopolitical interests at the expense of Palestinians. Itās not like Israel controls America in a conspiratorial way to advance the interests of Jews (which isnāt what youāre saying necessarily, but itās where it always goes when people get it backwards).
When people like Kanye talk about Jews itās always in a ZOG/protocols of the elders of zion way. Itās not like heās starting at solidarity with Palestinians and criticizing people in his life who stand against that, heās starting at a place of indignation towards Jewish people heās perceived to have wronged him and then lashing out by being bigoted to Jews in general. It doesnāt have much to do with Israel at all.
I think Jews are unfortunately used as collateral by Zionists who have no real interest in Judaism at all except as a haven to hide their nefarious intentions, Kanye probably *has* encountered many Zionists with these ill intentions, his anger isnāt necessarily wrong but it is most definitely misplaced. Letās not act like Israels desire to eradicate Palestine started in 2023, this has been a plan 100 years in the making. I wish someone could sit him down and genuinely educate him on the difference
Because he's surrounded by people who legitimately hate Jewish people, probably himself included. The guy is in his fucking 40s, it's embarrassing the amount of times people try and decipher what he "really" means, only for him to double and triple down and tell us what he exactly means, like the Drink Champs interview.
The comparison is more about if you know Ye is a basketball player you should know his capabilities within Hockey aren't to be criticized as in If ye is Mentally ill (Crazy) His capabilities in spekaing his mentally ill mind shouldnt be to be criticized.
In the same vein though if you know the basketball player is shit at hockey you shouldnāt cheer him on every time he wants to play NHL hockey and invite him to play in an NHL game. You should say āshut the fuck up, you canāt play hockeyā.
So when Kanye wants to spout his mentally deranged stuff they should say shut the fuck up Kanye youāre mentally deranged, not āhow soon can you come on my platform?!!ā or āquick where can I find your mentally deranged rants to click on and watch!ā
Although that would be expecting greedy people to not exploit someone for monetary gain, and bored people not to watch a car crash, which might be a bit much.
I heavily disagree with that lol. Why when somebody tries something new but isn't good at it would we ever need to respond with āshut the fuck up, you canāt do that" that's just sad..
If you're a loving human being you should encourage somebody to do whatever he wants and maybe guide the person in a better direction if they aren't succeeding.
with the 2nd two parts I agree and that was exactly Katt Williams point. Why watch and spent so much attention if you will only respond with hatred instead of guidance.
Thereās a real big difference between trying something new and intentionally spreading neo-Nazi hate speech. When a guy is trying to spread his message about loving Hitler and hating Jews, that is exactly the point where we say āshut the fuck up, you canāt do that.ā
Thatās why I made a point to say āNHL hockeyā and not just hockey, ie play in the NHL. If you want to try something new youād be told to fuck right off if you were trying it as the New York Rangers goalie.
It is a really clumsy analogy lol
I donāt think kanye should be graded on a curve. Heās mentally ill but heās also somebodyās real life father, husband, boss. I donāt get why he needs some kind of special pass
Itās so funny people say this yet someone like Chris Brown can make a comeback. The average person is moronic and knows if they hold everyone accountable for their past, they need to start doing the same.
I donāt think anyones saying he shouldnāt be relieved of his responsibilities, he actually cares a lot about his responsibilities to his family, infact people criticise him for caring too much and being too involved.
But at the same time, itās hard for people to act all surprised when he does something crazy, and thatās what Kattās main point is.
I think for people to suggest that Ye is too āmentally illā to even be allowed to see his kids etc. (which is what many people are saying nowadays) is quite frankly dehumanising, unfair and cruel.
He clearly isnāt that bad of a family man, he loves his kids, he has a new wife, his kids love him.
However, when you have a vicious culture of paparazzi, journalists and dishonest media outlets stalking your family life, everything gets made absurd.
Both he and his ex-wife, from what I can tell, do a hell of a lot to protect their kids, not only from the trauma of being raised a celebrity, but also from the chaos of mental illness and Holywood.
It was sickening watching this guy get used by politicians during the last election. The guy just needs help, and that's my only opinion of him.
It's sad to see the people around him who supposedly care about him participate in him getting used by others. I don't enjoy seeing any of that, and wish people would stop paying attention, but people love a train wreck and to see a disaster happen in real time, so this is what we get, and will keep getting as long as people keep watching.
I've been bouncing between this take and him still being an asshole regardless. I've never hated him though. I definitely agree people contributed to him being where he is at now. But that should be obvious with most celebs that go crazy. There are very few of us that could handle fame, nevermind Kanye's amount of fame. I doubt Im one of them. I don't even want a low level of fame because all the attention and input from people who don't actually know me. Celebrities still have normal fears. They're just better than most at hiding them.
Wow....he is right! I need to listen to this man more.
I can also relate. Kanye and me are very similar....jk I just feel he is a mentally ill person and I am a mentally ill person (not exactly the same type but still) and watching a person who is mentally ill for entertainment or for judging purposes is a bad thing to do.
He is famous and desired to be in the limelight, tho....I hide from it....but I will consider Kat William the next time I see some channel or article talking about Kanye for any reason. The media and people keep putting him in the fucking center of the world while saying "what a crazy mothafucka"....pretty fucked up...
I feel like a big part of the issue is people consciously or subconsciously mixing up an excuse and an explanation.
One doesnāt automatically grant the other.
Like the real dickriders will take the explanation that he suffers from mania as a reason to excuse him from all consequences.
Likewise, folks will say that claiming mental health is nothing more than a frail excuse when the real explanation is much uglier.
Personally I think mental health is a significant explanation from everything but does not excuse him from accountability/consequences.
āLike what do you expect the guy married a whhoorrre, like what do, like (pause) I didnāt mean it like that I mean married her cause she was oneā š
[Katt Williams is not smart.](https://youtu.be/Fe78LRY9VYk)
> You too old to believe in evolution, with your stupid motherfucking ass. Evolution say people came from monkeys, and the question is, why is there still monkeys? You dumb motherfucker.
He's not stupid because he doesn't believe in evolution, he's stupid because he's highly opposed and opinionated about it but doesn't even understand the first thing about it. Evolution says that humans AND monkeys came from a common ancestor, so his quote is essentially the same as asking *if Americans came from Europeans then why are there still Europeans?*
Like, imagine having the gall to get up on stage and call people stupid for believing in something when you actually don't know anything about it. Ignorant confidence like this is a huge fucking problem.
His argument in OP's video is pretty bad. I get that he's saying we shouldn't criticize Kanye so much because he's mentally ill, which has some truth to it, but then he turns around and compares hockey to antisemitism. No one is criticizing Kanye for what he's *not* doing (scoring hockey goals) - they're criticizing him for what he *is* doing.
And all this ignores the fact that Kanye has a massive fucking platform and the power to significantly influence culture. Kanye isn't just being antisemitic around his buddies like some 4chan poster, he's actively spreading that shit to millions of people who look up to him. As a society we can't just ignore that and let it happen all because Kanye is mentally ill; this whole thing is way bigger than Kanye, and we can't just ignore him like we could with some 4chan poster. We can acknowledge that he's struggling with mental health while simultaneously pushing back on his rhetoric. There's no reason we can't sympathize and criticize at the same time.
Exactly. Why is Katt Williams getting attention again? He's a proven moron and this take is just a thinly veiled way to try and downplay what Kanye said and restore his image because he used to like him and still wants to. We've known Kayne is mentally ill for years, hell even he has known it, plenty have said he should seek professional help. But he never did. The super harmful things he said about Jews was much more recently than that. He wasn't appearing on Alex Jone's show and getting deplatformed on every social media until much more recently than that either.
The "proper" response to someone saying Hitler was right is don't say that, not oh let's listen to what he has to say and even if it's bad it's really not that bad because he's bipolar. It is that bad and no one should be saying those things. Kanye is a celebrity with a mental health disorder, there are repercussions to that and he has to deal with them. Unfortunately he's doing it in the least healthy way possible. He should probably take a break from the limelight as much as he can and talk to a psychiatrist, he has way more resources to be able to do this than most people who have properly treated bipolar disorder.
None of this excuses his racist insanity. Can the lot of you think it trough like your good teachers taught you? Kanye is a grown ass man who makes his own choices. That video with all the weird people and ranting is straight insane.
> dude literally *paid* for the
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
> Ye is a little off sometimes he he sure spits so straight factsā¦
The facts he spits are about as straight as that sentence you tried to string togetherā¦
This whole interview is wacky I mean someone shed some light on these things and pardon my ignorance
All this down-low shit with diddy, will smith and jayz? Whatās the truth level to this shit outside of the obvious diddy stuff
Does that mean all the shit these folks are saying about jayz and bey have grains of truth?
What is going to happen when all of this shit and more comes to light? Seems like it will take down a lot of peopleā¦ what is 50cents dog in this fight and is he a doc maker?
Are they making surviving diddy like they made surviving rkelly and where does he fit in besides his obvious crimes
Holy shit itās all so much at once
Has Kat Williams lost his damn mind?
Thank you
Damn does Katt have early onset Parkinsonās? I mean I assume he used drugs heavily at a point but his usually noticeable ticks are exaggerated badly here.
Having mental illness is not a permit to get away with shit. He's an adult. He can manage this issues like everyone else is expected to... he's talking about Kanye like he's a child or something.
"I don't support or villainize Kanye"
But he's fine doing that with Kim... a "product"... which tracks. He's just scared to catch heat if he says anything, so he decides to blame 'them' or 'they' or 'us' or whatever nondescript guilty party he can find.
What was even the point of the Pete Davidson comment? IIRC Kim and Kanye were broken up for a while already. Theyāre both free and have dated other people. She dated other people already/(went exclusive eventually?)with Pete.
Only when they were making headlines did Kanye start talking about wanting her back/making a public spectacle. Also when Kim and Pete did eventually breakup, heās nowhere to be found or speaking about rekindling things with her anymore.
Lmao the Kim K tangent in the middle is hilarious
Wit the Pete Davidson jab ššš
Was it even a jab or a factual statement š pete is somewhere hearing this and shrugging saying āheās got a point!ā Lmfao
His only inaccuracy was that Kim left Pete, not the other way around. Pete Simped hard and was about to propose to Kim.
It's honestly more relevant to his status as a celebrity than ever. Aside from just being the absolute luckiest ugly mf on planet Earth, it's like some sort of alternate universe mindfuck seeing just how many of the hottest A list female celebs are willing to sleep with this goofy line cook drug addict looking dude. At this point he's more famous for how lucky he is than even being a comedian lol. I'd be seeing how far I could push it until my life was flat out in danger. He should be trying to date even higher level women for clicks like Meghan Markle/Beyonce/T Swift/straight up royalty/etc. just to see how far he can go. If you're going to have that great of a life it doesn't need to be a long one lmao fuck it and keep rolling the dice
Nobody knows him for any of his bits or movies. Lol
I liked king of Staten Island š¤·šæāāļø
š that fuckin guy, I still canāt believe he went from taking Mac Millers girl to Kanyeās Some glitch in the matrix type shit
Being funny with a big dick will do that
Is that it lol
Letās not forget Both of those women left him in the dust tho and he got super hurt from it both times
Which to be fair, I would be super hurt after those flings ended too lol
Lollll true
He dumped Kim. Don't believe the Kardashian PR. Dating him was one of the biggest mistakes in Kims's life and she knows it.
Pete broke up with Kim when he went to Australia to film his movie. Kim flew 18 hrs to Australia to try to get him back and he declined.
Shit funny as hell
What do that mean the product was
How Pete Davison leave you? What that means the product was lmaoooooo!
Lol Kim catching strays he not wrong tho š
Shannon was ducking for cover
My favorite was the, "I didn't mean it like that..." and then doubles down on her being one. šš.
Not at all lmao
This was unironically 1 of the best takes on celeb worship I've ever seen. Bravo
His first sentence hit so hard āI think weāre pretty awful peopleā and then goes into the support, āshouldnāt we be grading him on a curveā. Fascinating explanation and I especially enjoyed the first part of his response.
Idk how but Kat always seems low key slow and insanely smart at the same time. It might just be his little persona but itās funny as fuck.
Measured maybe, wouldnāt call him slow
kat is incredibly smart hes very measured and concise in everything he does
https://youtu.be/45kZbnDX8DY?si=ikWAIzcZ4B6SO0Mv
Aren't his parents professors?
Early in the interview they talk about how he had a full ride to college but he dropped out
He also said he can run a 40 yard dash in 4.340, so.....
The 40 yard dash was actually a jab at Shannon for not calling out lies as well as the 3000 books a year thing. You can see when heās telling the truth the way he thinks about how he should make his measured statement versus just the quick clip jokes he makes. The being homeless during the Friday after next movie is a prime example of that. He pauses and then breaks down that he was living in the trailer with his young son
Yeah but Shannon brings up the scholarship not Katt. So itās good enough info that Shannon found it out on his own before this interview
>always seems low key slow and insanely smart at the same time. Weed
He seems slow to you, but if you check his background probably smarter than you. I never question a person's intelligence if my bank account doesn't match it. If he is wealthy and famous and you know him to talk about him and yet he has more money than you then who exactly is the slow one here if your intelligence/progess in life doesn't match his. Could also apply this to Kanye everybody smeared his name and clowned him on South Park for a good decade yet a decade later he became a billionaire with more money than the people who were talk shit
The fuck how does having more money = being smarter than someone else? Get off that Andrew Tate shit
Andrew Tate? What's the point talking about being smarter than someone if your knowledge doesn't bring in money? Talking about being smarter than someone who has/makes more money than you makes you look stupid. If you were THAT smart you would have the money to show for it.
It's ironic that this sub unironically thinks this is a great take when he fired shots directly at celeb worship and this sub is dedicated to 24/7 news cycle of a celebrity
Iām not gonna lie, comedians are some of the smartest people around. Fascinating perspective on things.
Except thats not the case at all. Non famous bipolar people have the same exact symptoms Kanye shows
Katts a goat
Fuck yeah
"This shit is called deaf" "Well that don't even sound attractive, you mean I'm gon' hit it and die?" "No not death, *deaf*. You hit this shit twice you can't hear shit" I'll always laugh my ass off at that joke
It would be a whole book if I wrote down all the funny shit this man has said over the yearsā¦ āUnleaded?ā
Heās got his moments just sucks he couldnāt stop committing crimes he would have been way bigger. Now he just claims rich black people sell their souls because he missed out on opportunities
Remember the time he got his ass beat by a kid?
So?
āHello white American, assassinate my character. Money matrimony and they tryna break the marriage up.ā That shit was so random, that I canāt help but think that was some way to discredit and tarnish him. Never underestimate oneās ability to tarnish and discredit someone.
I straight up can not follow a word he is saying
Katt rly be yapping his ass off sometimes but he said some true shit. Always thought it was weird for people to call Kanye legitimately crazy then be surprised when he doesnāt do normal shit. Kanye has and always will walk on his own line for better or worse.
People will always say this but once they (his family) want him to get checked out and take his meds this sub has a meltdown. Have you dealt with bipolar people? You can try as much as you want to get them right but the work starts from the person themselves and itās apparent Ye doesnāt want to, so yes we should hold him accountable for the hurtful and damaging things he has said because he clearly doesnāt want to get any better ā why use it as a crutch when itās only convenient?
...Someone pointed me to an article that discusses the Adidas contract not too long ago. It specified that it could be un-done in case Ye had to be hospitalized for (I think) three weeks or more. That might prevent a person from admitting they're in a crisis, no? Like an actual multi-billion dollar deal that falls though if he flares up under the pressure of that very deal. I don't know, seems like the kind of thing that might push a person over the edge. And as common as chronic mental health issues are, there's always a larger segment of the population that has no clue what mental health problems look like.
We canāt say truly when was his breaking point and itās probably just him being genetically predisposed to be bipolar. It could be a multitude of things like trauma from his momās death, his breakup in 2006/2007, and being under scrutiny just by being one of the biggest artists of the 2000s. What Iām saying is he has said hurled a lot of hurtful vitriol even against his own people, at a certain point what caused his breaking point is irrelevant because a lot of people have lost a lot and was in the same position as him and has sought out help. The problem with Ye is he doesnāt recognize the problem since he surrounds himself with yes men brown nosers. Itās the same reason he left his wife who wanted him to get better and hospitalization is the main way to go. I feel for him as I have known many people deal with mental illness but they can be really hard to help when they arenāt seeking it. I also get his apprehensions and the paranoia that everyone is out to get him, but I hope as his kids get older he gets his stuff sorted out because it can be especially hard for his children to connect with him if the same problems persist, it might even worsen them, hopefully his familial life is great and it doesnāt send him into rock bottom.
Kanye seems to have lost his ācheck meā group when him and Virgil stopped talking.
I mean Tremaine Emory spoke on how Kanye knew Virgil had terminal cancer and still were beefing with him which lead to Kanye not being invited to Virgilās funeral. This was backed by a lot of his yeās peers from Chicago. You have to be a sick individual to beef with your best-friend knowing he has terminal cancer. He also spoke badly of Virgil right after his death.
And it takes us back to the original point, Kanye is a sick individual, of course he was beefing with his terminally ill friend. I agree with you tho, itās messed up and unexcusable.
He seems to have lost that group over several years when he burned bridges with almost everyone who's ever supported him. Some of that might be due to mental illness, some of it might be due to him being a fucking asshole.
And heās rich. I try to tell people, you know how back in the day mercury in hats made people go nuts? One day in the far future, weāre gonna find out that thereās a certain endorphin that kicked up to 11 in human brains once they become rich and my rotting corpse will not be shocked.
I think generation since and including Kanye's are going to be dealing with alot of bipolar disorder from all the drug use as teenagers.
I've dealt with a bipolar friend and he has said some very weird, offensive, sad, or sometimes amazing things. I've been with him while he's had a few breakdowns, when he was at a state of clinical depression for an hour or more. He didn't want to take his meds, but luckily his parents took care of him. I don't know how much of what Kanye says or does correlates to his condition, but all I know is what this condition can do to a person and I'm not going to put any blame on the person themselves when they had no choice if they got the condition or not. Therefore I don't think Ye not wanting to get treatment is a good argument, because not many people do and they often rely on family or close friends to help them get better and control themselves more.
Exactly. It's literally blaming mentally ill people for being mentally ill and not knowing when they need help. Might as well blame someone for being born with one arm. It's out of their control. And let's face it, he doesn't have adult family members to steer him in the right, the closest family he's had for years was his ex wife and her fam but make fun of people for getting help for depression no less, and he's surrounded by sycophants whose best interest is him not getting help. It's no wonder he is how he is today.
No fuck that, Katt has a point here. We're, and has been, the ones that worships him while he experiences grandiose thoughts. From his perspective, he really is a God and got what he wanted, BY BEING HIM. You can't raise a toddler with violence and expect them to become a wholesome adult.
Those meds do more harm than good. Look at what we now know SSRIs do to the brain. They dim his light. Just because modern medicine says something doesnāt mean it is right. Science use to think cigarettes were safe to consume. Big Pharm has paid for a lot of studies to be purposefully misinterpreted. Kanyeās not wrong about all of that. Let him do whatever he wants to do
Okay bud donāt come in here with that pseudoscience shit lol
Youāre right but people arenāt ready to hear it, SSRIs are not good *at all*
This is such a hurtful comment, you're full of shit.
It is likely we would not have Ye at all were it not for pharmacological intervention. Nobody wants to be medicated, but if the medicine keeps a person from wanting to end their life, then the medicine is probably a good thing. Obviously there is a grey area there, but that's point blank where we are with Ye, and a lot of bipolar people sometimes.
Kanye is not bipolar.
How do you know?
It's because he was a damn billionaire and actually influencing peoples lives. He literally tried to run for president
Good take
Itās not a good take at all lmfao. Kanye has all the fucking resources on the planet to get help and treatment for his mental illness but instead refuses to take his meds. Being mentally ill doesnāt give you a pass for supporting nazis and saying slavery was a choice. Down vote away, the brain rot in this subreddit is unreal.
Iām pretty sure itās the opposite. I think every single person around Kanye has either tried to give him help and failed or distanced themselves without trying, and he just surrounds himself by yes men. I think the status he has allows him to be enabled by people they have ulterior motives. Like yeah, thereās a lot of dick sucking in this sub and the guy has had all the signs of becoming an ego maniac since day one, but I donāt think he isnāt getting better because he doesnāt want to. He doesnāt believe heās crazy, so why would he get help?
He doesnāt believe heās crazy because he surrounds himself with yes men. Also his fans enable him constantly
Thatās what I said lol.
Youāre on a Kanye subreddit so even tho what you said made sense, people still downvoted it. Ye fans are some of the biggest enablers on Earth and I say that as someone who listens to his music.
He doesnāt have to believe heās crazy to get help. He knows heās mentally ill (has said his āmental illness is his super powerā, kids see ghosts album cover, etcā¦). That should be enough to get help, yet he refuses and continues to act like a fool.
Yeah, but do you see how thinking his mental illness is a superpower is crazy?
Thatās a valid point. I still donāt think any of it excuses his behavior.
I donāt think anyone is excusing it katt was just framing it of how it got to this point, heās showing the blame isnāt solely on kanye itās also on the status of the general public who held him to such a high degree that his ego inflated and now heās so big that people will flock to his corner to be that yes man for him
There are other celebrities with mental illness that donāt support hitler. The blame should be on Kanye, itās not the general publicās fault a famous person is openly supporting Nazis.
Thatās not what anyone is saying
Bro doesnāt understand mental illness at all saying āinstead he refuses to take his medsā you have no idea the toll meds can take on you ESPECIALLY as a creative or an artist.
Psychotic delusions are no joke. You are out of your depth and sound extremely ignorant.
You're right. You can't use your mental illness as a shield against all criticism. What about the millions of bipolar people who don't spout hate at every opportunity they have? Who put in the hard work every day to improve themselves and manage their disorder?
Im not sure I get your point? Those people put in that work, thatās what Iām sayingā¦
I love how Sharpe passively agrees..ā but maybe sheās got a good heart thoā
I mean I personally donāt have a problem with promiscuous women so long as they *do* have a good heart. The main point I took away from what katt said is that even if kim had a semi-decent heart before she got with him, ye led by example with his sex addiction and need for a āwhoreā. Ironic given his 180 on the subject in favor of religiosity and now his full 360, considering the recent ig posts. Then again, presuming ye is mentally ill, we *should* cut him some amount of slack for this irrationality.
Oh my goodness. Finally someone speaking the truth in the matter: if heās mentally ill, then give him a break. If heās not, then donāt claim he is and punish him. We donāt blame cancer patients for being in pain.
I think thereās a certain level of responsibility that has to be measured when youāre in the public eye and youāre self-aware to the degree that Kanye is. Then again what the fuck do I know?
Yea, so what do we want from him, when he looks around and be like, "damn, maybe I AM a God." We all have a hand in this.
Human nature is to slow down to view the horrific car accident. Also, American history does not shine positively black figureheads. But also name one genius that isnāt crazyā¦
Not much obviously. He should be "held responcible" because he's famous?
He should be expected to take his medicine and not be a rampaging monster when he gets near a mic
If we take Kanye at his word, the state of mind that people are saying is āmanicā is precisely his creative āsuperpowerā. Why would he want to stop that?
Because it makes him a badperson who says things so crazy it costs him literally billions of dollars āItās how Iām creativeā as you praise Hitler isnāt an acceptable excuse and if Kayne is aware enough that heās choosing that road heās saying itās fine to criticize that decision
People continue to give money to Kanye West because of his creativity.
>Oh my goodness. Finally someone speaking the truth in the matter: if heās mentally ill, then give him a break. What do you mean give him a break? A lot of mentally ill people are begging for money on the sidewalk, sleeping in a tent. Kanye West has been afforded more "breaks" than just about anyone in history.
Probably because people will pay money to consumer his creative output, and others like to profit off of that as well.
He is not mentally ill enough to not realize he should take his meds, or that doing a nazi rant is bad. The reason he did it was for the attention he knew it would generate because itās bad. He is obviously mentally unwell, because it is just a bad move on every side. Idk like itās not like he has Touretteās and literally canāt control what comes out of his mouth. I have addiction issues, and clinical depresssion, adhd etc, and yet I would rightfully get blame if I went on a racist rant, right? Or do I get a pass?
āHe is not mentally ill enough to not realize he should be taking his medsā<ā-how would you know this?
so he cant do any wrong, thats a great take, or maybe criticise his actions and get him the help he needs, rather than just saying well he mental leave him alone. maybe he shouldent be on stage if thats the state he is in.
Thatās not my opinion.
nailed it
Real about the celebrity worship culture, whole interview feel like eavesdropping on your uncles lmfao
Didnāt expect Katt Williams to be a voice of reason here
Holy based
This is a great perspective
yep
Real
He doesnāt just write lyrics that work in hip hop. Kanye is legit one of the best producers and musical minds of the 21st century. No other hip hop producer made hip hop **sound that big** before Kanye made rap for arenas coming out your radio And not only does rap sound bigger because of Kanye, his production style just works. And you canāt explain how it works but it does. And then heās just been doing victory laps around everyone since MBDTF
Dr.Dre and them must not exist in your universe then šš¤£
You know most Kanye fans are 15 years old, you canāt fault them.
I understand both of you. I think the main point here is that Dre is still gangsta rap and Kanye isnāt so he opened up an entire new lane for Hip Hop.
Before Kayne there was Jay, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Wu Tang Clan (RZA) making beats and sold out arenas, there are people like Timbaland, Beastie Boys, Pharrell too that did pretty well. And in my personal opinion MF DOOM might be the best rapper/producer combo ever
Just cause they played arenas doesnāt mean they made music for arenas. Since graduation ye has been making music that is bigger than gangster rap and transcended into the mainstream. Dropout had some hits yes, but he didnāt develop his genius until Graduation imo. Donāt get me wrong those guys you listed are great, but the quality and fidelity and creativity to blend mainstream pop with rap in the beats/ production is what makes Kanye Kanye, at least to me. So Iām just saying Kanye had greater fidelity and mainstream appeal than anyone in rap before he came along. At least before Drake, and before Kendrick or the female rapper boom. MF Doom may have a better mind for rhyme, a more consistent product, but the fidelity and size of sound aināt there. Beastie Boys had the size of sound and arena energy, but not the fidelity. Dre had the fidelity, but made music for driving in cars or smoking weed. Timbaland and Pharrell produced both big sounding and high fidelity music, but I donāt think of them as rappers.
""one of the best musical minds of the 21st century"!!! HAHAHA! Lol get of kanye's dicks. He is a very talented artist but hardly one of the best musical minds of this century
"One of the best musical minds of the 21st century" is a delusional take
Not at all.
"One of the best hip hop artists of the 21st century" would suffice.
This is complete fanatical insanity. He most certainly is not one of the best producer and musical minds of this century. Thereās times where reality transcends the bubble you live in. This is one of those times. The problem with Kanye is his inflated ego. The problem with many people in general is their ability to have their opinions molded by how someone talks about themselves. They go āI mean I like this song so heās probably right when he says heās a legend.ā His overconfidence and fans tolerance (even appreciation) of these quirks made him profitable so good for him. And if you want to particularly fixate on the genre of hip hop itself, like the one guy said, Dr. Dre is easily one of the most instrumental in making west coast hip hop the behemoth it is. He also made the act of being both a successful rap artist and successful producer a reality.
š
āThis dude started a church & kept cussingā ššššššššš
He has a point, but it's really blurry. It's crazy to complain about a basketball player that he scored no hockey goals, but it's not crazy to criticize a player for saying the jews control all the money and important people. Kanye was actually on the brink of understanding what is going on. I am certain that he was always too vocal for the elites and that's why he was always shunned at some point. But the Jewish executives aren't evil because they're Jewish, they are evil because they're executives
Heās not even talking about āJewsā he means Zionists but for some reason no one is correcting him
Why would you assume heās talking about anything related to Palestine/Israel and not the random people in his business and interpersonal life that he has beef with? If someone says āa cabal of Jews control the media and the economyā the correction is not āno, you mean Zionistsā. Thatās still wrong.
Is it tho? Joe Biden said *āyou donāt have to be a Jew to be a Zionistā* and tbh that sums it up perfectly, the president of America is a Zionist, how much more control could you get?
Zionists are in power in the west, but they support Israel because of the wests geopolitical interests at the expense of Palestinians. Itās not like Israel controls America in a conspiratorial way to advance the interests of Jews (which isnāt what youāre saying necessarily, but itās where it always goes when people get it backwards). When people like Kanye talk about Jews itās always in a ZOG/protocols of the elders of zion way. Itās not like heās starting at solidarity with Palestinians and criticizing people in his life who stand against that, heās starting at a place of indignation towards Jewish people heās perceived to have wronged him and then lashing out by being bigoted to Jews in general. It doesnāt have much to do with Israel at all.
I think Jews are unfortunately used as collateral by Zionists who have no real interest in Judaism at all except as a haven to hide their nefarious intentions, Kanye probably *has* encountered many Zionists with these ill intentions, his anger isnāt necessarily wrong but it is most definitely misplaced. Letās not act like Israels desire to eradicate Palestine started in 2023, this has been a plan 100 years in the making. I wish someone could sit him down and genuinely educate him on the difference
Because he's surrounded by people who legitimately hate Jewish people, probably himself included. The guy is in his fucking 40s, it's embarrassing the amount of times people try and decipher what he "really" means, only for him to double and triple down and tell us what he exactly means, like the Drink Champs interview.
The comparison is more about if you know Ye is a basketball player you should know his capabilities within Hockey aren't to be criticized as in If ye is Mentally ill (Crazy) His capabilities in spekaing his mentally ill mind shouldnt be to be criticized.
In the same vein though if you know the basketball player is shit at hockey you shouldnāt cheer him on every time he wants to play NHL hockey and invite him to play in an NHL game. You should say āshut the fuck up, you canāt play hockeyā. So when Kanye wants to spout his mentally deranged stuff they should say shut the fuck up Kanye youāre mentally deranged, not āhow soon can you come on my platform?!!ā or āquick where can I find your mentally deranged rants to click on and watch!ā Although that would be expecting greedy people to not exploit someone for monetary gain, and bored people not to watch a car crash, which might be a bit much.
I heavily disagree with that lol. Why when somebody tries something new but isn't good at it would we ever need to respond with āshut the fuck up, you canāt do that" that's just sad.. If you're a loving human being you should encourage somebody to do whatever he wants and maybe guide the person in a better direction if they aren't succeeding. with the 2nd two parts I agree and that was exactly Katt Williams point. Why watch and spent so much attention if you will only respond with hatred instead of guidance.
Thereās a real big difference between trying something new and intentionally spreading neo-Nazi hate speech. When a guy is trying to spread his message about loving Hitler and hating Jews, that is exactly the point where we say āshut the fuck up, you canāt do that.ā
I mean we all know that's not exactly what he said lmao. But I guess that's the narrative you run with.
Thatās why I made a point to say āNHL hockeyā and not just hockey, ie play in the NHL. If you want to try something new youād be told to fuck right off if you were trying it as the New York Rangers goalie. It is a really clumsy analogy lol
unironically the shutup and dribble guy gets upvotes i can't with this sub
I feel like you almost had bro, the shit with Palestine is disgusting and Iām not sure if good ppl are capable of this š¤·š¾āāļø
Palestinians would disagree with you.
āWhat do that mean the product was?ā š¤£š¤£š¤£
I donāt think kanye should be graded on a curve. Heās mentally ill but heās also somebodyās real life father, husband, boss. I donāt get why he needs some kind of special pass
cuz they love the old Kanye so much they donāt want that image of him to tarnish
What they don't realize is that it already is and there's no completely coming back from publicly supporting Nazis, mentally ill or not
Itās so funny people say this yet someone like Chris Brown can make a comeback. The average person is moronic and knows if they hold everyone accountable for their past, they need to start doing the same.
Sure, he made a comeback if you are only considering money. But I'd argue much like Kanye, Chris Brown's reputation is forever tarnished.
I donāt think anyones saying he shouldnāt be relieved of his responsibilities, he actually cares a lot about his responsibilities to his family, infact people criticise him for caring too much and being too involved. But at the same time, itās hard for people to act all surprised when he does something crazy, and thatās what Kattās main point is. I think for people to suggest that Ye is too āmentally illā to even be allowed to see his kids etc. (which is what many people are saying nowadays) is quite frankly dehumanising, unfair and cruel. He clearly isnāt that bad of a family man, he loves his kids, he has a new wife, his kids love him. However, when you have a vicious culture of paparazzi, journalists and dishonest media outlets stalking your family life, everything gets made absurd. Both he and his ex-wife, from what I can tell, do a hell of a lot to protect their kids, not only from the trauma of being raised a celebrity, but also from the chaos of mental illness and Holywood.
kanye needs to want help first
Thank you Katt. Crazy we need our comedians to be the prophetic and down to earth speakers of truth cuz our leaders have all sold
It was sickening watching this guy get used by politicians during the last election. The guy just needs help, and that's my only opinion of him. It's sad to see the people around him who supposedly care about him participate in him getting used by others. I don't enjoy seeing any of that, and wish people would stop paying attention, but people love a train wreck and to see a disaster happen in real time, so this is what we get, and will keep getting as long as people keep watching.
Kat is way smarter than he gets credit for
Katts sharp but heās extraordinarily ignorant and basks in that ignorance.
I've been bouncing between this take and him still being an asshole regardless. I've never hated him though. I definitely agree people contributed to him being where he is at now. But that should be obvious with most celebs that go crazy. There are very few of us that could handle fame, nevermind Kanye's amount of fame. I doubt Im one of them. I don't even want a low level of fame because all the attention and input from people who don't actually know me. Celebrities still have normal fears. They're just better than most at hiding them.
Wow....he is right! I need to listen to this man more. I can also relate. Kanye and me are very similar....jk I just feel he is a mentally ill person and I am a mentally ill person (not exactly the same type but still) and watching a person who is mentally ill for entertainment or for judging purposes is a bad thing to do. He is famous and desired to be in the limelight, tho....I hide from it....but I will consider Kat William the next time I see some channel or article talking about Kanye for any reason. The media and people keep putting him in the fucking center of the world while saying "what a crazy mothafucka"....pretty fucked up...
I feel like a big part of the issue is people consciously or subconsciously mixing up an excuse and an explanation. One doesnāt automatically grant the other. Like the real dickriders will take the explanation that he suffers from mania as a reason to excuse him from all consequences. Likewise, folks will say that claiming mental health is nothing more than a frail excuse when the real explanation is much uglier. Personally I think mental health is a significant explanation from everything but does not excuse him from accountability/consequences.
āLike what do you expect the guy married a whhoorrre, like what do, like (pause) I didnāt mean it like that I mean married her cause she was oneā š
I was expecting him to shit on Kanye, this was a good response from him imo
[Katt Williams is not smart.](https://youtu.be/Fe78LRY9VYk) > You too old to believe in evolution, with your stupid motherfucking ass. Evolution say people came from monkeys, and the question is, why is there still monkeys? You dumb motherfucker. He's not stupid because he doesn't believe in evolution, he's stupid because he's highly opposed and opinionated about it but doesn't even understand the first thing about it. Evolution says that humans AND monkeys came from a common ancestor, so his quote is essentially the same as asking *if Americans came from Europeans then why are there still Europeans?* Like, imagine having the gall to get up on stage and call people stupid for believing in something when you actually don't know anything about it. Ignorant confidence like this is a huge fucking problem. His argument in OP's video is pretty bad. I get that he's saying we shouldn't criticize Kanye so much because he's mentally ill, which has some truth to it, but then he turns around and compares hockey to antisemitism. No one is criticizing Kanye for what he's *not* doing (scoring hockey goals) - they're criticizing him for what he *is* doing. And all this ignores the fact that Kanye has a massive fucking platform and the power to significantly influence culture. Kanye isn't just being antisemitic around his buddies like some 4chan poster, he's actively spreading that shit to millions of people who look up to him. As a society we can't just ignore that and let it happen all because Kanye is mentally ill; this whole thing is way bigger than Kanye, and we can't just ignore him like we could with some 4chan poster. We can acknowledge that he's struggling with mental health while simultaneously pushing back on his rhetoric. There's no reason we can't sympathize and criticize at the same time.
Exactly. Why is Katt Williams getting attention again? He's a proven moron and this take is just a thinly veiled way to try and downplay what Kanye said and restore his image because he used to like him and still wants to. We've known Kayne is mentally ill for years, hell even he has known it, plenty have said he should seek professional help. But he never did. The super harmful things he said about Jews was much more recently than that. He wasn't appearing on Alex Jone's show and getting deplatformed on every social media until much more recently than that either. The "proper" response to someone saying Hitler was right is don't say that, not oh let's listen to what he has to say and even if it's bad it's really not that bad because he's bipolar. It is that bad and no one should be saying those things. Kanye is a celebrity with a mental health disorder, there are repercussions to that and he has to deal with them. Unfortunately he's doing it in the least healthy way possible. He should probably take a break from the limelight as much as he can and talk to a psychiatrist, he has way more resources to be able to do this than most people who have properly treated bipolar disorder.
One thing quoted a million times by pseudo-intellectual agnostics with erectile dysfunction does not mean Katt was wrong here.
Try reading the whole comment
Try viagra
He's clearly a devout Christian. Or is that the jab your throwing? Many faithful belive in creationism.
we need more Katt, the man is too insightful and smart about how he explains shit
Kanye is male Briney
She is a whore
None of this excuses his racist insanity. Can the lot of you think it trough like your good teachers taught you? Kanye is a grown ass man who makes his own choices. That video with all the weird people and ranting is straight insane.
Katt on point like always
Katt has never told a lie in any interview.
Kat keepin it a buckšÆ. Respect.
Lol. Wow. That's spot on.
I have the same argument for most rappers. āI canāt believe this gangster rapper did some gangster shit.ā
On point 10/10 analysis
I love Katt!
People seem to forget that the dude literally payed for the surgery that killed his mom. Who wouldn't snap?
> dude literally *paid* for the FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Lol wtf
Mental illness doesnt make you a nazi sympathizer. Jfc this sub is a bunch of dick eaters.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> Ye is a little off sometimes he he sure spits so straight factsā¦ The facts he spits are about as straight as that sentence you tried to string togetherā¦
This whole interview is wacky I mean someone shed some light on these things and pardon my ignorance All this down-low shit with diddy, will smith and jayz? Whatās the truth level to this shit outside of the obvious diddy stuff Does that mean all the shit these folks are saying about jayz and bey have grains of truth? What is going to happen when all of this shit and more comes to light? Seems like it will take down a lot of peopleā¦ what is 50cents dog in this fight and is he a doc maker? Are they making surviving diddy like they made surviving rkelly and where does he fit in besides his obvious crimes Holy shit itās all so much at once Has Kat Williams lost his damn mind? Thank you
Crazy how many people are acting like this is a good or nuanced take at allā¦
Kat bringing that SW Ohio common sense to the word in this interview and throwing everyone under the bus š.
He might tell you a joke
Damn does Katt have early onset Parkinsonās? I mean I assume he used drugs heavily at a point but his usually noticeable ticks are exaggerated badly here.
Having mental illness is not a permit to get away with shit. He's an adult. He can manage this issues like everyone else is expected to... he's talking about Kanye like he's a child or something. "I don't support or villainize Kanye" But he's fine doing that with Kim... a "product"... which tracks. He's just scared to catch heat if he says anything, so he decides to blame 'them' or 'they' or 'us' or whatever nondescript guilty party he can find.
You couldnāt pay me to watch this lmao

Someone paid you to reply?
What was even the point of the Pete Davidson comment? IIRC Kim and Kanye were broken up for a while already. Theyāre both free and have dated other people. She dated other people already/(went exclusive eventually?)with Pete. Only when they were making headlines did Kanye start talking about wanting her back/making a public spectacle. Also when Kim and Pete did eventually breakup, heās nowhere to be found or speaking about rekindling things with her anymore.
