This is the only comment worth reading in this entire thread. I’m not a big hip hop person, but I was loosely aware of most of what you’re talking about here, mostly because I’m a music history nerd kinda. I always saw the praising of nazism and Hitler from Kanye was most likely not a true heart of hearts admiration of those things, but the antisemitism in general is not an out of the blue phenomenon for him or other hip hop artists of that era. Doesn’t really matter because even if he was just trying to get out of some contracts there’s a million ways to do it other than getting on the air and saying you love Nazis. Now I just laugh when I hear flashing lights, which is now a problematic fave.
