Honestly, Cosby’s fall was larger than Kanye’s.

Unless you were alive in the 1980’s it’s hard to understand how beloved Bill Cosby was.

It was probably on-par to how Mister Rogers is remembered today.

He went from that to being completely persona non grata.

I think Kanye’s fall is nothing in comparison to that; especially considering that he still has a career even though it’s not as successful as it used to be.

Cosby was on par with how we think of Tom Hanks today. He had a dad vibe that everyone loved.

Kanye is definitely up there. Because I hate so much about what Kanye has turned into... his music is just so, so fucking good. For all his personality faults (Or diagnoses... I dont think we will ever know for certain) the man is a musical genius.

He has a lot of the telltale signs of something akin to bipolar disorder. You can see very easily his ups or downs and whether or not he has taken his meds recently.

It sucks. He looks like someone who needs help.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh very much so, but when someone with his means and access to treatment options keeps going off the deep end and ranting about Jews and how some black people must have wanted slavery. It reduces my sympathy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It certainly does. Simply because bipolar disorder doesn't magically create shit political views.

Otoh it is very hard to be convinced in the long term that you need help. It's a common phenomenon where people with bipolar disorder go off their meds during manic episodes.

I agree that money helps like hell, especially in the US. Otoh you also need some support around you. And he strikes me as an incredibly lonely dude surrounded by sycophants...

How are Crosby and Kanye even remotely comparable?? Crosby literally sexually assaulted others. From my knowledge Kanye isn’t a sexual predator? Crazy maybe, but not a pig? Correct me if I’m wrong though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The "fall" is comparable not the magnitude of what they did, mostly because Cosbys shit mostly came out 20 years after he stopped being culturally relevant.

OP, do you actually think Kanye is worse than the serial rapist Cosby? And if so, what is wrong with you?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Kanye has been charged with raping an assistant at a Diddy party. I have no doubts he is also a serial rapist.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Thanks! I never heard of that. And there I was thinking at least he's a nonviolent crazy person. :(

[–] nave 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

*he’s been accused. He hasn’t been charged

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

You’re correct - my mistake.

still fucking awful

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Cosbys fall came so long after he left the spotlight, for younger people the connection isnt there.

Snoop is in full panic mode after doing a gig for Donald

People started shunning him properly, especially because he dissed others who did the same last time the Orange won

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As a fan of Snoop, my disappointment is unmeasurable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

What's the best album Snoop has released since Doggystyle? I might check it out.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Anything before reincarnated ( it was reggae and he tried to reinvent himself, decent but way different than his usual stuff) his first 3 albums were the best tho. Where he started to shine was in his collaboration stuff.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kanye? I remember people liking Musk. Imagine that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I am afraid that there are still people who like him

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I just can't care about Kanye and his desperate begging for attention.

Not much. A series of tweets saying:

he loves hitler

he is a nazi

elon stole his nazi swag

(Yes, all three consecutive).

Then he went and said that he is autistic.

And I wish I was joking but it's all true

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I hope he gets some mental help, he clearly needs it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He also recently made his wife (like, on video she’s clearly uncomfortable) basically show up nude to an award show. It’s really gross and uncomfortable.

Ye is severely mentally ill, and should have been placed into care five years ago.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Show up uninvited. It's a certain level of special that is reserved for the likes of him, probably because he knows he's falling into obscurity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What did Kanye do that was so terrible exactly?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

worse than rapist cosby!? being fucking mental is not nearly as bad as that. whoever posted this is dumber than a rock
