When Kanye West was in a full-blown manic episode several months ago, many Kardashian-West critics (kritics) claimed that Kanye was just “acting” as a way to promote his new music, which he was supposed to release around the same time. Those album-release deadlines came and went and Donda: With Child still isn’t out. Probably because the manic episode wasn’t something to “promote” a project, it was just a horrible moment for Kanye and his family. Another way to look at it is that Kanye seems to have these manic episodes when he’s feeling particularly deep stress on a personal and professional level. Several months ago, the triggers were “Kim talking about how she might leave him” and “trying to complete a new album.”
Anyway, the point is that Kanye is still in the Wyoming Dome, presumably still working on the album. Or maybe he’s just going to hope that no one noticed he missed all of his deadlines and instead he’ll give everyone this feint:
I’m not industry bro … I don’t care… I’m in service to Christ … we need world healing … I miss my brothers… I refuse to argue with black men on labels we don’t own… even twitter

I have the utmost respect for all brothers … we need to link and respect each other… no more dissing each other on labels we don’t own

I need to see everybody’s contracts at Universal and Sony
I’m not gonna watch my people be enslaved
I’m putting my life on the line for my people
The music industry and the NBA are modern day slave ships
I’m the new Moses

I’m going to go to Celebitchy and tell her that no, I’m not going to write anymore because I’m the New Moses and I need to see everybody’s contracts. I’m not arguing that Kanye doesn’t have a point about his masters and ownership and such. I’m just saying that Kanye’s argument is super-convenient given the fact that he’s missed all of his album release deadlines. He’s the one trying to misdirect. It’s actually pretty clever, because I think many of Kanye’s fans/followers won’t see this for what it is.
My kids gonna own my masters

His shoes look like Nerf footballs.
This makes me sad. Yes, he’s a horrible human (no argument there), but I hate to see people in mental crisis.
Yes. He thinks that not taking medication gives freedom to his creative impulse, but his condition is so severe, and it will only get worse the longer it goes untreated.
Please go away and get some help.
This man has 4 young children. And he sees them as his apostles. His delusions of grandeur are the outcome of a very unwell person and there are going to be consequences. It’s all very frustrating. Kanye could accomplish some of his goals if he just got help. Instead he’ll probably end up in prison for election fraud.
I saw his tweets yesterday. He has deleted some tweets, particularly the ones that said he would never release music on his current label again and he was encouraging other male rappers to breach their contracts too and he wants his masters.
If he took an advance, this could be really bad for him financially.
Mental illness is a horrible disease i wouldn’t wish on anyone.
But his manipulations are gross.
In trouble with the record label- label them as evil, and blame mental illness.
Wife may leave you b/c you’re a nightmare? Stop taking meds so she feels like she can’t leave you.
I find him disgusting.
I dont listen to his music anyway. but he needs some help for his mental problems!!!
If he wasn’t famous he’d be on the street corners raving about God and no one would pay attention. No one needs to pay attention now, either.
Prince did the protest against music labels earlier, and better. This just feels like Kanye going off the rails and not listening to anyone who has his best interests at heart.
All I know is that he seems to be acting the ‘willing pawn’ with the GOP/Trumpers to cause problems in our next election. He needs to go back to private life and stay there and get help.
