Kanye West

> "*This man has made W album after W album. There was only one L album from him and even on that, there's still songs I consider bops. I don't think you realize how inspiring this man was to hip hop, bro. You listen to this n\*ggas music and he makes you cream your whole fucking panty drawer*"

Kanye Omari West /ˈkɑːnjeɪ/ *KAHN-yay*; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and fashion designer. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential hip hop artists and producers.

Em had high praise for Kanye during late 2022. He had been "reintroduced" to Kanye after his 2021 album, "Donda." Since then, he'd been on a "Kanye rabbit-hole," listening to a majority of his past music and even going as far as to listen to leaked, unreleased music and make his own "better" version of Donda, "Donda, but its Em approved."

During late October, Em had an argument with Pencil about Kanye. There had already been controversy with Kanye in 2022 regarding the White Lives Matter controversy and the "Death Con 3 on Jewish People." But Em just brushed it off. "Kanye's a crazy guy," right? He made Graduation. The argument started by Em and Pencil trading songs for them to listen to: Kanye West & songs from Pencil's playlist which Em called a "goofy ahh 2012 playlist." It started off nice as they both liked each other's songs but then it just went downhill from there.

For the next couple days, Pencil and Em argued why Kanye was good, and why he was "ass." Em even went as far to (jokingly) call Ye not only the greatest rapper ever but also the greatest artist ever. After that, the conversation died down and they went their separate days.

Spotify Wrapped is a viral marketing campaign by Spotify. Released annually in early December since 2016, the campaign allows Spotify users to view a compilation of data about their activity on the platform over the past year and invites them to share it on social media. On November 30th, Trip revealed his Spotify Wrapped and encouraged everyone to do the same. Em took part revealing his Spotify Wrapped and showed at his top artist was the year: Kanye West

Literally a day later, on December 1st, Em gets greeted with a message from Coffee saying "uh em, kanye just said he likes hitler. A day after Em revealed that Kanye is the artist that he listened to the most this year and then the very next day that artist turns around and calls himself a Nazi and says that "Hitler had value." Em felt betrayed. He felt angry. He felt stupid. He believes that Kanye made him look stupid. A month ago, Em was wholeheartedly arguing about why Kanye's music was top-tier and here he is watching a clip of Kanye saying Hitler invented the microphone. Em had no more excuses. There was no more "he made graduation." No more "Kanye's bipolar, man he's just crazy don't worry about it." This was the last straw. Not only did Kanye admit that he's a racist, but more importantly, he made Em look like an idiot.

After this day, Em likes to claim that his favorite rapper has no name. The man who made Can't Tell Me Nothing and Bound 2 is an anonymous artist. Sure, it may have a name next to the songs but that's only a glitch in the system, ya know? You said the man's name is Kanye West? You mean the Nazi? Naaaah he doesn't make music.
