REALITY 76,757 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 4 minutes ago, Bebe said: I'm telling you - you are arguing against a point I'm not making. I agree with what you are writing "I left that part out because ultimately your argument is "duh, **** like that is going to happen."" I mean.. that's not what you were arguing against previously, you just added that in because that's what I wrote in my reply. You're still not really addressing what my point is. "You can be a transgressive, opinionated, controversial, unsafe, etc. etc. artist without having to be an asshole and just walking out." I don't think Kanye could be the artist he is without his personality flaws. He is an opinionated person who says whatever is on his mind - when it comes to creating that lack of inhibition is great, it's what contributes to him being such a great musician, but on a personal level it can lead to him saying some BS that angers people. He has little to no respect for social conventions - that's fantastic in his work where he can push boundaries and make something trulyĀ transgressive - it's less great in real life when he goes on these giant rants. He is an ego maniac who is a little manic, when he is working that's great it means he has complete confidence and faith in his work, there is nothing holding him back and he has the courage to experiment and demand exactly what he wants - that's less great in real life when he decides he can just walk off stage after 3 songs. "look at Gaga, she's transgressive, unsafe, and definitely opinionated and controversial." Errr.... Not in the same way. I wouldn't call Gaga transgressive or unsafe in the same way I would call Kanye transgressive and unsafe. They are completely different artist - when it comes down to it though, it's Kanye's personality traits that make him the genius he is artistically. He is the classicĀ enfantĀ terriblĆ©.Ā Of course he shouldn't have been an asshole and walked off stage - There's just no point in being surprised. We all want an unsafe, unpredictable, opinionated artist - sometimes that's going to blow up in your face. Like I've said, he shouldn't off stage that's a **** move. Well, first, I read your whole first post. I left that section out because you introduced another perspective that I thought sort of negated the first part of the post.Ā Again, I can respect when he does the things that he does in his work, but doing thatĀ outsideĀ of his work, I think that's where I personally draw the line. I agree with what your saying, so I suppose there's no real reason to continue this discussion, but I do think there's a point to being surprised, because it's still a very unprofessional thing to do, and he should, in my opinion, be held accountable for some ofĀ the things he does.Ā Ā Ā šš¬š¬š”šš¶š¢, ā'š©š© š°š¢š¢ š¶š¬š² š¦š« šŖš¶ š”šÆš¢ššŖš° Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIghtmareElm 2,606 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 He is my favorite next to Gaga but that's just ****ed up. Ā Treat the press however you want and talk smack about any fellow celebrities but ditching a show three songs in? Screwing over thousands fans that's part of a strong and dedicated fanbase.

Unfortunately I still stand by my opinion - his music and "artistry" is just not my thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious he did this as a publicity stunt but I feel for those people who saved up their money to go watch a 20 minute rant. the concert was scheduled to start at 9 and he went on at 10:25, which i kinda expected. i honestly can't see this as a publicity stunt. i'm seriously concerned for his mental health and well-being. something just didn't seem right.

CatelynnMarie 4,406 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 As a person he just continues to disappoint me. I don't understand how you could do that to your fans. Making them wait hours and then leaving at the beginning of your show after all those people paid money to see you. Unless there was a legitimate reason, which I am doubtful, then what the f*ck even is that?Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseBabe 837 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I just don't get why he does this? Lol. He also cancelled his show another time inĀ California earlier this month (I think) because my best friend went to it. He just randomly said, "I'm done." But he said he was going to refund everybody. Hope the same happens for these people.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
