btw kanye ranked #6 in a qualitative poll about most liked celebrities in the US by gen z
he's really big w young people and already was w 25-35 crowd
so it was inevitable that he was returning to huge status when finally good music dropped
Source? This is interesting af

Really
what source is this
Kanye was always capable of maintaining his status if would’ve focused on his music and not doing bullshit
I think your wrong!
As just a musician i don’t think he would have the same hold.
As a shoe designer he’s able to enter a conversation that has nothing to do with hip hop or music in general.
As a clothing designer he’s able to enter conversations about charging a ridiculous amount for a blank shirt with no mention of his music... Trump...presidential run...red hat...KUWTK...GAP...Sunday Service...
Still cap considering Ye went plat after 3 years
Album also had seven songs and no physical at release so...
Streaming has definitely made album certifications less meaningful.
I know ye’s a jackass but Hov was not too far from john legend at one point in terms distancing himself from Ye for probably public perception/ political leaning reasons, if you’re doing that with someone you’ve know for like 20 years what the hell do you actually stand for
Jay z does not give a f*** about anybody but himself

The religion thing killed his clout and relevancy and you can tell via the impact JIK had and the records that were dropped near that time period.
But he's always had soooo much to play with. He himself is a huge a rapper, and he knocked up KIM K 4 times and they're going through divorce. That's before you get to the shoes and clothing stuff.

Do you know the I Love It rapper?

He's whatever on SNL but as a stand up he's pretty funny. Especially for a comedian under 30

Tbh him venturing into fashion helped keeping him relevant tho
Kanye was never irrelevent
Even during the dark ages (2017-2019) he was still making headlines
His music ass since 2018
Disagree
But again thread was about relevancy
He did over 300k fw with like 2-3 less days counting bc he dropped it later in the week lmao
Kanye never stopped being one of the top 3 biggest draws in music since the late 2000's.
Ye is the personal name, Kanye West is the stage name.
They dont understand it seems
Kanye still his name on streaming
Stopped for 5 years. Ye and JIK didn’t impact the music world at all really, I was actually a little depressed watching his releases be such niche things. Even the hype on here wasn’t the same
ye release wasnt niche at all. The album just fell flat quality wise and was only 7 tracks like an EP
JIK was more niche i guess but also cause it was gospel
