Bye Kanye

- In today's video I talk about the fashion and cultural influence of Ye (AKA Kanye West) in light of his recent antisemitic and bigoted statements. How do we reconcile Ye's former command over men's fashion now that he's gone full villain mode? I'm not sure I have an answer but I do talk for over 13 minutes about it!

Quote from Bonk that I didn't get the chance to include - “America’s past time has always been a black man making a fool of himself not baseball.” tbh I thought this was like a famous quote he was referencing but i guess it was just off the top of his dome.
He is not crazy:
"On the Jewish Onslaught" by African professor Tony Martin in youtube. Exposing who ran the slav3 trad3
If you get more in the rabbit hole watch "Europa the Last Battle"
A banned documentary
The Balenciaga child photos actually made him credible
You are way sexier with this short hair!
Missed your videos so much… I can’t just keep watching this guy with the Chrome Hearts Cap + Rick Owens Puffer Wojak over and over again :(
sorry to keep you waiting Maxi
I was so happy to see another video from you, and you did not disappoint! Amazing video!!
appreciate it Jack :)
I like how you approached the topic of talking about the influence of someone after they've done something bad
1. stoked you (finally) dropped another well thought-out and edited video, christian.
2. whatever you do with your hair works. How?
idk friend, i'm not sure _how_ it works but it just does! For the record I use American Crew forming cream in my hair. Even when its short like right now thats what I put in for a little texture.
Christian I watched this video 2 and a half times, and I think this is one of your best.
Great to see you over here once again!
Great to be seen William you're looking great
What is that animal crossing song you used? I’ve been trying to find it for years
Great vid as always Christian, where’s your sweater from?
Its a rue porter crewneck. Ever since that video I made about them I've been a big fan.
yay new episode 🤘🤘🤘
yippie!
sick video love ur eyes in the thumbnail
YESSSSSS.... IDK IF ITS 3RD WRLD WAR IF IT GETS US A VIDEOOOOOOO FROM UUUUU
WW3, China invades Taiwan after Xi Jinping watches my recent video
Ok but how does this affect the fortnite skin market
I'm gonna need a million v-bucks to even get started on that question.
I encountered a Black woman who is Jewish and Bipolar on Tik Tok, and I was surprised to see that her response was that we don't understand how bipolar can make you delusional, psychotic, feel like you're bein persecuted. IMO, this is a hard convo bc he's clearly not mentally with us. His frontal lobe, the part of the brain we use to reason, is fucked.
Alot of Black Celebrities and Leaders have gotten in trouble with the Jewish Community. This didn't come from thin air. The perspective of Kanye is different depending on your life experience
great video, does anyone know the teal bomber jacket in the background? it looks like it has a nice shape
I feel like it might be an older season of OAMC
BINGO! it's an older OAMC patchwork bomber. Good eye brother
When you talked about Hemingway and saying its important to talk about flawed artists in the past. Can you apply this argument to southern revolutionary leaders? Is it ok for certain southern statues to stay erect because it is important to learn from our past and the effects it has had on our present?
I'm glad you asked EALO, and keeping in mind I'm not like authority on any of this but here's my take (APOLOGIZES FOR LENGTH): Sculpture specifically has a long history of being the medium the west uses to elevate / highlight figures and ideals it considers important. Example, Michelangelo's David was commissioned by Florence to say "we're a small city state surrounded by more powerful goliaths but we're the underdog so watch out" - it was made and displayed in a public space to embody the values Florence wanted to show off as its true self. So, if we apply that to statues of Confederate generals, theres a disconnect where a southern state is or town is saying (at least) "we value a person who in the eyes of the federal government was a traitor and tried to leave the union" - so as a public work, it appears to oppose the values of unity that _every state_ should stand for in the US of A. But more than that, people are upset that we'd elevate generals who fought a war fundamentally over whether states had the right to continue slavery, since a sculpture in a public space is saying "we think this person's ideas and actions are what we stand for". ALL THIS SAID, I think the ideal situation would be to move the sculptures to a museum or a space specifically dedicated to preserving a historical artifact. we shouldnt destroy them, we should remember they were built and why. They ideally should be replaced with something that embodies the values a town or state has today and TBH i appreciate that we have statues of founding fathers who were slave owners and I think it ultimately comes down to some of the intent. A statue of george washington is almost certainly meant to highlight his efforts to create a country where liberty and freedom were the rule of law (thats what we're celebrating). A sculpture of a confederate general, built after the civil war (most of which during the Jim Crow era) appears to signal to a lot of black american's that even if the south lost, they're still not welcome. TLDR I think its a complicated matter, and I think its important to morn and for states and towns to have things that celebrate their past and heritage but if its a statue it will be scrutinized for what it represents.
@@BraveNewWear i agree with everything you said . especially about re location of the statues. you could argue that the meaning of the statues has changed overtime . With that being said, looking forward to future videos love your content! :)
Don't really have any thoughts of my own, great video, it really sucks to see your favorite artists become a shell of who you thought they were. Apparently he's had feelings like this for years but it just the most vocal about it now. Really makes me wonder who else agrees with this kinda stuff behind closed doors.
got any alternatives for his yeezy gap hoody you recomend it's my favorite hoody sadly and looks like I won't be buying another one tbh 🙃
tbh...i still wear the yeezy gap hoodie since its nondescript. But I'm a big fan of Rue Porter's hoodies thats my alt.
Dude it would just be wearing a Gap hoodie, if you had an alternative people wouldn’t be able to tell a difference, no one would judge you for wearing that hoodie I promise. Everyone can respect the artistry.
RETURN OF THE KING
As someone who has spent a lifetime on the autistic spectrum, I'm certain that is 'his deal'. There are those among us who can almost pull off 'normal'.
What gets you is, frustration. You can't handle it like 'normal' people.
You might be smart and creative and drive yourself, you are almost 'one of them' but you aren't. But you rise up. You take on more responsibility and you keep reaching.
Then one day you're at the point you can't do anymore. Instead of formulating a new strategy to take on the new obstacle, you just blow.
I lost jobs in this way, myself.
Nothing like at Kanye's level, but I recognize.
The man is mis-diagnosed.
His 'depression' or 'bipolar' facets are manifestations of,
His being on spectrum.
As someone who's been conscious of Kanye for the last 15 years or so, it's been very heartbreaking to witness his steady self-destruction. I've always been a fan of his discography, it's arguable one of the best in hip hop, always boundary-pushing, and I've also admired his fashion sense and just general ethos of irreverence, especially during the Yeezus era.
While we've witnessed many, many low moments of his over time, I just get more and more frightened to ask things like "how much worse can it get?" Because with him, there's always a boundary to leap over, there's always a fence to burst through. The same energy that drives his obsession with graphic design, architecture and sound of a snare drum is the same energy that is pushing him deeper and deeper into dark waters.
agreed, I think his vision / aesthetic during Yeezus was my favorite, and I agree it seems like the impulse he had to challenge the status quo (novel and interesting in the past) is the same thing thats pushing him towards saying things like "i love hitler"
yo this channel is back
I hope so
He’s back
BUT FOR HOW LONG?
He made someday we'll all be free
Just listen to Drain Gang
gonna have to look them up
@@BraveNewWear start w peroxide and obedient imo
Still the most influential artist of all time.
possibly! I guess the question is what does that influence mean now that he's spreading a lot of hate
I seriously fear for his life after his mania ends. Did you see his post about Elon Musk? If it becomes any worse he won't be able to leave his house unsupervised. And if he gets better he'll realize he wasted his career for nothing. It sucks, really
i know, I've been thinking about that too, whether he'd become so out of control / out of touch that he dies from suicide. I remember, eons ago, after the taylor swift debacle, he seemed genuinely embarrassed (idk if that was just PR, I thought Dark Fantasy was born out of trying to pull himself from that feeling). But my point is, if he does feel true remorse at some point i worry it will be too much.
this aged well huh
Hello Christian once again, awesome video. Kanye has been the artist I listened to the most (top 0.01% in 2021 and top 0.5% in 2022 on Spotify Wrapped). While I wholeheartedly disagree with his claims in the past few months, I still believe he is a musical genius at some region within that antisemitic brain of his. I personally believe it was an unfortunate coincidence that his egoism, bipolarity, and religious faith (about being loving to all) had collided with regards to the topic of Nazis and Hitler.
Again, what he said was clearly wrong, but I will still be bumping to his song Famous and how he made Taylor Swift ("that b**ch" in his lyrics) famous.
By the way, nice hair.
I wont share my spotify wrapped and will plead the 5th...but I also am disappointed that an artist i loved would say things so nasty I can't here his songs without thinking about it. IDK if there is a connection between what allows people to create art that is truly moving and do things that are truly horrible, hes not alone in that camp. But I do worry that the impulses that made him rebel against the status quo musically might be the same impulses driving him now - glad to see your comments as always :)
Don’t ever leave… again.
hey sport, gotta run to pick up a pack of cigarettes. dont tell your mom ok? I'll be right back...
@@BraveNewWear🥹
At some point, all art becomes anonymous. It's futile to experience it attached to the person who created it. That's just me.
Isn’t there a term like that called “death of the author”
@@doofy3111 Not exactly the same. Barthes addresses the value of interpreting the author's intentions when reading a text. My claim is that art, with time, eventually leaves the artist behind. At some point it'll all be hands on a cave, and it'll be art; still. Anonymous, and still influential. I'm saying there's no author.
oh la la, Barthes reference. I'm not sure if I read the Barthes essay you're referencing, but I kind of feel like both things are still true. There was a famous Michelangelo quote where he argued that because his work was in stone he would be remembered forever, hes probably 1/2 right. Your comment also makes me think of the book Chuck Klosterman wrote "What If We're Wrong" where he explores the idea that centuries in the future people will only remember minor touchstones of our time, in all likelihood they'll forget the names.
@@BraveNewWear this sounds like an excuse to wear reps
Increasingly boring? Everyone is tuned in
This was a great video. I’d argue that Andre 3000 is more deserving than Kanye in terms of influence to this most recent generation of young artists. In both fashion and music. I believe the only difference between 3000 and Ye is that Ye is a lot louder and wants the recognition. While Andre seems to be comfortable (modestly) playing the background and making appearances here and there every few years.
I'll tell you what, Andre 3000 did a better job memorializing his mother on Donda in a feature than Kanye did for his mom in the whole album.
Can't separate art from artist. Even if you separate the art from artist now, THE ARTS SHIT
I think in some ways, works can speak for themselves or even take on a life of their own, like the "ownership" doesnt belong with the OG artist, but I also think that we can't try to look at works without appreciating who made them.
I need yeezy and balenciaga to sponsor me
Bro but he made Graduation
He still remains the most influential.
I guess I am one of the few viewers without a strong sense of fashion.
thats ok glad u checked the video out
babe wake UP new BNW DROPPED
WAKE UP BABE
holy shit he’s alive
sorry i had to die on you henge, gotta get your input on the next 1 since bonk was featured in this video
@@BraveNewWear hit me up anytime i love giving my unfounded views on any matter
you got to do a Balenciaga video next lol
yo didnt you say you were going to strictly be making horribly unviewable content? anyways get back to those advanced aesthetic bangers you were really on to something there, sorry that it never caught on in the way you hoped.
lol ur right I should only be making videos that are strictly unwatchable
he made graduation
true
As someone who is Jewish and a huge kanye fan, it's quite conflicting. It has definitely given his music a bad feeling I have yet to shake.
I'm sorry to hear that dude, the feeling is mutual
I agree with you loved Ye at first then he became this hypocrite self serving being.
live long enough to become a vilian and all that
@@BraveNewWear I am older than ye
To be fair you have to be a recognized hero by the public before you “become” the villain
he made gra-
Do you think Kanye could be trolling all of us? Just seems SO over-the-top. A very expensive troll if so.
There’s zero troll with what he does, look up his entire history of controversy he doesn’t know how to lie it’s somehow real and okay to him, also search severe bipolar disorder
Who’s Kanye
Christian, why is that collage piece hung up so close to the ceiling? Do you enjoy staring up at it? Tip: artwork should be hung at eye level. #petpeeve
im going for a french salon style with the all visible space covered but the rest of the art is uh...invisible.
CENSORI OVERLOAD GOES HARD THO
When you get a bad lil yes wife there won’t be any snapping him out of this for years, unless she can carefully bring him back to reality
you can't lose history
true, tho some people try to forget
i think he can still come back
It would take so much, I don’t think his ego can take accepting that much fault
There's a big difference between a distasteful opinion and a direct call for violence. That's the line where all the reasoning has to stop, no matter how influential a person is. The fact that so many especially in the Black community continue to support him is a disgrace.
i miss the old kanye…
tell me about it
'Gold Digger' was his only good song
jamie fox is in that 1 and he's in the new spider man, that guy gets around.
cap
Thanks for your opinion. I don't care for Kanye as a person but his music is top notch.
you just want to start beef, his music hits, that’s not even a top 5 song arguably not even top 10
The guy always dressed horrible imo, never understood what people saw in that wack style.
well dog, I had a feeling that would be the overt opinion of a lot of people who watch my videos which is kinda why I wanted to make it. While I do try to put his impact in perspective this isn't a video where I'm cheering him on, I think he's lost any credibility he once had but I think in the past a lot of people did think he was credible.
