Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.
On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.
You're viewing a single thread.
Who listens to this shitty artist anyways. I get the shock or discovery plays, but dude is straight trash anyways lol.
I could never stand him even at the peak of his popularity.
The "Golddigger" song wasn't terrible, but then, I'm not a huge rap fan, so that's the only song of his I know.
i couldn't name a single one, or recognize him or his songs from the audio alone. and i'm only cursed with knowing what the asshat even looks like because the attention whore gets the media attention he craves.
Same. I could probably fill a page of A4 with stuff I know about him because I got fed it by The Algorithm, and yet nowhere on that page would there be the name of one of his songs.
Understood. I was just stating my experience.
I have no desire to delve deeper.
i WISH i didn’t like his stuff, but years ago (pre-Nazi shit by a long time) he used to be a really talented artist and he had a really major effect on rap as a genre. i don’t listen to his old stuff since the Nazi shit cuz he needs consequences fr, no matter how small, but it honestly sucks a lot cuz he has some really really great music. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the GOAT albums imo, and as sad as it is to say about someone profoundly mentally ill i think it woulda been best for his career if he died around 2016 😭
You can just pirate it and he doesn't get any money, yet you get the music.
Every time it comes on i think that, but it’s usually in the car and i forget by the time it’s relevant lmao
Lol, Kanye has never been a talented artist. At least, not objectively. Plenty of people have thought he was trash since day one.
By that logic no person in the world is talented at anything lol. I don't disagree with the idea that people are allowed to hold the opinion Kanye has never been a good artist, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to go for.
What an ignorant thing to say, he's a fucked up person but he's one of the most talented musicians of our age. He singlehandedly ended gangster raps reign over the rap genre by dropping an album where he sang about his feelings in autotune. Honestly I don't know why im arguing with you, you're probably just gonna turn around and use some shit excuse like "its mumble rap" or something.
Nah, I respect your opinion and taste. That's the thing about art, you can love or hate it. You love it, and I hate it. Simple as that.
