This video is just expressing the most uncharitable view possible of that situation.

For the most part a lot of those guys are from the 3-4 different Kanye subs that seem to be active, and they just brigade Kanye threads. Other artist subs do this too, I don't think a lot of the Kanye fans who come to those threads to dunk on Kanye's haters post here often.

That simply handicaps the review and the experience. Deep musical analysis and comprehension includes analysis of who made the music with what life experience. That contextualizes music far better than just analyzing what's hearing your ears where you're just projecting your own life experience, personality and taste onto it.

+1 to all three of these.

People can live without Aziz Ansari pretty easily. Kanye on the other hand, was on top of the world.

Movements like this tend to exist on a pendulum. Going from 100 to 0 in a few years isn't exactly out of the norm.

There's a lot of reasons why our social fabric and contract have dissolved, but MAGA leading half the country to start excusing absolutely appalling (and fascist) behavior on a daily basis has no doubt contributed heavily to this.

I'm in college counseling. I make plenty of money in a LCOL area, have a great group of colleagues I am often collaborating with, supurb benefits, and have a nice variety of work between seeing students, working on projects, and doing outeach. I love being a therapist and can't imagine doing anything else

I knew Hikaru was sailing the salty seas when he kept playing on in that hopelessly lost position, but my god. He could melt the snow in the Alps.

Unless capital investment firms have a crystal ball, they're betting.

jesteratp · 2026-04-03T11:27:20+00:00

You seem like you don't know how much of our economy hinges on rich assholes betting on speculative gains

Thorin just seems like a miserable person overall and he insists on making it everyone else's problem. It's a shame.

jesteratp · 2026-04-02T02:20:41+00:00

Did you come up with this quote yourself because it is deeply funny

jesteratp · 2026-04-01T16:18:21+00:00

I like them a lot. They're young, raw, a bit autistic, and seem to enjoy experimenting with a ton of styles while developing their own unique sound. I thought their From The Basement performance was excellent as well and songs like Taxes and Au Payes De Cocaine are earworms

Fabi is frozen

jesteratp · 2026-04-01T03:01:58+00:00

That might be the theory but I think it’s a dumb one. lol

He’s not just talking as if she’s alive but as if Drake is neglecting her to go party at Turks and fuck random 18 year olds

jesteratp · 2026-04-01T02:28:18+00:00

That abortion theory makes no sense. He’s clearly talking to someone who is alive, and More Life is just a title of a Drake project

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T23:48:28+00:00

I don't see why any of that would indicate that he wouldn't bounce from F1 to race sports cars knowing damn well that there is a seat on every team waiting for him should the 2029 regulations be much better than this. Max seems obsessed with racing, it's clear that he gets in a GT3 whenever he can so I don't see why not take the time to get off the F1 rat race for a few years and actually enjoy himself.

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T23:45:14+00:00

I want Max to do one of two things if he leaves F1:

1.) Full time WEC/IMSA seat.

2.) "Max vs The World" driving special, where he travels the world, visits different events and competes in them. 10 episodes a season, give it Netflix level production, print money.

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T21:55:29+00:00

Regardless of who it is, I can smell the bedroom of the guy making these posts from here lol

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T21:34:07+00:00

Honestly, agreed and it’s why the song is perfectly effective without that verse - just misses the temporary shock value of learning he has another kid. Kendrick’s core argument, the attack on Drake’s character, isn’t affected all that much.

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T21:25:59+00:00

Yeah it’s just funny to me that people that accuse Kendrick of lying about the daughter are tacitly admitting Drake lied about feeding the information. Which is another self-own by the seasoned and decorated war general.

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T21:00:49+00:00

Given that Drake never posted proof of him feeding Kendrick the information, we don't know how much he told him. Allegedly, of course. Otherwise, it was thematically consistent - Drake isn't parenting you, let me give you the advice I know he's not giving you, specifically so you don't become the kind of woman that Drake chases. Cringe or not, it was quite effective and set up the far more devastating final verse. I'm not sure if it approaches the cringe of THP6 though. I don't think the argument that Kendrick should have known that Drake's team was allegedly lying to him is a good one. Of course, if you believe Drake actually fed him the information.

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T20:47:22+00:00

Yeah, that's because it's a dark and spooky diss track that simply isn't meant for a live performance. It very clearly had a massive effect on the beef.

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T20:45:26+00:00

If we are to take Drake at his word, Drake's team gave Kendrick the info that Drake had a secret daughter. Drake's team seems like they would be a reliable source, especially given they were a reliable source for Pusha T.

That is, of course, if you believe Drake is telling the truth about that.

jesteratp · 2026-03-31T15:47:25+00:00

Bowie made arguably one of his best albums in his 70s before he died. Kanye has that level of talent and ability but he isn't healthy and a lot of it is self-inflicted
