The Genius Of: Kanye West

Фильм және анимация

PART TIME DEMIGOD, Kanye West, has managed to defy the odds with the borrowed time he has on this planet, however, the journey it took to find this will nearly cost him his life. His legacy continues through sound and sneakers, crafting some of the most influential music of our era by breaking barriers with his unique sound choice and punchy verses, but with the ego driven persona he’s accustomed to today, has caused many conversations to be brought up about mental health in American society, sacrificing legacy for impact. Despite controversy, he’s still praised for his role in paving the way for many hip-hop and pop artists we know today, ultimately solidifying his name in the history books as one of the GOATS!
In a descriptive video essay I review Kanye West's discography in areas I find important, such as: audio production, psychology, marketing strategies, social status, personality and much more. In this biography I compose my opinions from facts along with elements of humor and satisfaction, justifying the reasons I find him a genius.

He’s a terrible communicator when it comes to conversation, but he’s much better at expressing his ideas through music, the best way to go about it is to figure out what Kanye is trying to say, and try to get bits of truth out of it. He is much more conscious and grounded in his first 2 albums especially.

Especially in the '24' music video. Flying up to heaven and being closer to god all so he can see his mother again. Definitely a story worth telling.

    What sets kanye apart from every single artist today, he is human. He triumphs, he fails, he grows, he breaks down. All other artists go through a filter, if you do see their bad side, it's far from their worst. When kanye falls, we get front row tickets. When he rises, it's a spectacle for the world to see. It's what's made his journey so remarkable. God Bless Kanye. May the future shine bright on him

    Cried. His mom really was his rock, and she is even now. All the outbursts and confused ranting make sense. I always knew there was more than just "he's crazy" even though I'm not much of a follower. It's easy to see another human broken by life and its unfortunate events when you've been there. I have been hearing about Kanye a lot in recent years but this video has enlightened me far and beyond what anyone else had ever said to me. Thank you. I'm now more interested in Ye than I ever been.

    Yes, we see what the world see but what we didnt see are the meetings with the executives. The meetings with the owners of the radio execs, Nike, Adidas, and clothing labels. At some point he was shunned, shut out of doors he was trying to enter in a totally different industry than music. Did you notice his rants starting with Taylor Swift? He said Beyonce had the greatest video of all times because there was some resistance, shut out, discrimination. I heard him speaking about the fashion industry, rant. He start speaking about GAP during a political discussion. Things were happening further behind the scenes. I can only imagine him trying to be a genius and they began to shut him down. He makes soooo much since to me. He seems crazy because he saying sh*t without saying it (a read between the lines) because he's been trying to avoid controversy. Im an African American. He made the comment after 400 years thats sounds like a choice, "I GET IT"!! Ive been brought up in organized religion, guess what, after 48 years of my life my immediate family still in organized religion, it's beyond a program to me, its a choice. I have personally elevated beyond that school of thought. My family members are so much older than I and you guys still dont see the disadvantages of organized religion, thats a problem for me. My family called me crazy. I call them stupid, lazy, and conformed, their choice. Ijs. I SAID ALL that to say, I needed to see what you saw, But they stiiiilll refusing to allow us to see wht he's ranting about, such as the Jews who blocked his genius. This video is still promoting the narrative of why he rants, bi-polar, on meds, etc. They didnt go deep enough for me. He's an entire fashion (ICON) designer. Let's see whats really going on... this is some old nonsense at it finest. The video was good, but not good enough. I desire TRUTH and thats all he's been saying - TRUTH.

    The relationship he had with his mother was something I have never seen before especially on the documentary. He never interrupted her, he never spoke over her, he took it all in and his mother would say his name a lot which is an excellent form of communication it releases dopamine and the other feel good chemicals in the brain. This burst of excitement makes people happy and sends unconscious signals such as empathy, trust, and compassion to the unconscious brain. They were so comfortable around each other she knew all of his lyrics. Music can be so deep and it's the ultimate form of expression and he didn't feel judged by Donda and she got to know him on a completely different level which is so rare it would be like letting your parents read your journal or your deep and meaningful conversations on social media. He didn't feel judged by her and she loved them all, Donda is his number one fan! When one of them started to smile the other would contagiously. They would rap together and it was pure sunshine and happiness Hey Mama in the kitchen. I get the feeling his mother was beautiful inside and out. This special and vital relationship was just ripped away he still needed her. He will never get over it and I lost my father last year in a way that will leave me asking why for the rest of my life. So I feel for him so much. I am glad he is still gifting us with his stunning music. I really hope that one day he will get his pure sunshine smile back

He has been through a trauma some of us will never experience, losing a parent who actually loves you, such as yourself. My own personal trauma is from having a parent who hated me. I know how that has affected my life. Its been a 30 year process so far. You dont just get over that in a few months. This man experienced a great loss, and married someone who preys on men with mental health issues, and the world is calling him crazy. I believe he is every bit as genius as he proclaims to be, his mom loved him. That type of love is a pivotal foundation for greatness.

He’s right - no one has gotten to the heights he has to have the opportunity to be able to be exposed to the realities of what he’s learned what he’s trying to explain to people. No one is letting make the shift to the next phase of his life to help the world. He doesn’t owe anyone more music if he has the vision & desire to help in another way. We need to stop taking his words & actions at face value & read much, much deeper with some wisdom & intelligence.

    I can see why Kanye loves his mother so much. A lot of people all they need to succeed is someone next to them that believes and loves them, so many people hold back out of fear of being judged or laughed at, that one person who’s behind you can make the world of a difference. I think his mother was part of his success because he seemed so shy around her it’s like she was his battery pack…she filled him up and made him believe and he’d go out feeling like superman. An amazing mother imo. RIP Donda West.

    The relationship he had with his mother was something I have never seen before especially on the documentary. He never interrupted her, he never spoke over her, he took it all in and his mother would say his name a lot which is an excellent form of communication it releases dopamine and the other feel good chemicals in the brain. This burst of excitement makes people happy and sends unconscious signals such as empathy, trust, and compassion to the unconscious brain. They were so comfortable around each other she knew all of his lyrics. Music can be so deep and it's the ultimate form of expression and he didn't feel judged by Donda and she got to know him on a completely different level which is so rare it would be like letting your parents read your journal or your deep and meaningful conversations on social media. He didn't feel judged by her and she loved them all, Donda is his number one fan! When one of them started to smile the other would contagiously. They would rap together and it was pure sunshine and happiness Hey Mama in the kitchen. I get the feeling his mother was beautiful inside and out. This special and vital relationship was just ripped away he still needed her. He will never get over it and I lost my father last year in a way that will leave me asking why for the rest of my life. So I feel for him so much. I am glad he is still gifting us with his stunning music. I really hope that one day he will get his pure sunshine smile back

    “The man just misses his mother”...I can tell you that losing your mother too soon and losing her the way he did where you can’t do anything to bring them back will do something to you physically, mentally, and emotionally for life. Especially when they’ve had such an impact in your life. I genuinely feel for him and understand him. He’s a deep individual and some can’t relate to people like that. And being bi polar really stigmatized him bc many don’t understand it. They just define it as “crazy” and it’s so much more than that. I’ve always understood that his actions were coming from a place of grief. That 911 call when his mother was dying was heart wrenching. They waited too long to save her. It would literally mess anyone up. I hope he finds healing. I love Kanye and will ALWAYS be a fan and support him and his work. Thank you for this fantastic video essay.

At the time when Kanye was talking about being the next Steve jobs, best artist of a generation, needing to be a billionaire, all of that stuff - it was so easy to blow him off, but he was right about everything. He manifested where he is today. It seems like he had a plan as well and he made it happen. I grew up listening to Kanye and he’s my favorite artist. Love the guy and I’m happy he’s getting the respect he deserves.

IF your mother died how would you take it? I know for myself the handle would be different. He keeps moving like his mother would want him to . But the hurt..... I don't even know the man and I can feel it . I appreciate his music and his realness that he express his self through the world . To put yourself out there in front of the world to see is A LOT . He is THE GOAT and his pain and his story tells a story that speaks volumes . Thank you for this .

    Exactly. Even if you don't particularly like your mother, her death is going to affect you. For Kanye it was like having his nervous system ripped out of him. She was such a wonderful, loving and supportive mother that was constantly by his side. Losing her was really losing a huge part of himself. He basically had to relearn how to walk and talk and act without her. He's a great dude, a great artist and a great mind. He's already come a long ways from 2016-2020 stuff and is finding better ways to communicate his ideas. I think he'll keep improving and be in a position to achieve what he really wants to achieve.

    And even when his “mental health” decreased, his biggest battle was realizing that the way we live isn’t what’s best and we are all corrupted by capitalism. Lookin from his POV he’s the hero that battled that most genius before him tried to fight and failed. I’m happy to see that he has found a way 2 taim tbh cause it’s genuinely a lot to handle

He's a smart man and knows whats best for his kids and has good ideas on where to take the country. He's no leftist commie. He cares for the American people truly. Also "as intelligence increases mental health decreases" is not a sound conclusion at all. If you believe that then you must have a crazy ego. I think being exposed to what people like kanye have been exposed to and seeing the real underbelly of society, thats what caused him to go "insane" The more truth you know about whats happening behind the scenes, THAT'S definitely more likely to make you go crazy.

    This is one of the few pieces on Kanye that touches on something deeper that most people don't get. Yes, musically (and perhaps in other aspects), he's a genius. Yes, his mother dying was a huge blow for him that I don't think he ever fully dealt with. And yes, the pressures of fame and the court of public opinion must be unreal. But the most overlooked aspect of his story is his own admitted substance abuse. My sister did a number of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. She was under pressure a lot over there. Tried drugs for fun ONCE, and it became the perfect storm to trigger her mental state to go somewhere she's never recovered from. She's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, manic depression, and disorganized schizophrenia. She lived with me for a year while we got her situated with her VA benefits. It's an impossible thing to truly understand, but the person she was is not there most of the time. Almost tore our family apart as we couldn't agree on what to do to help her. Figuring out the cocktail of medications she needed to think and function normally was and still is an incredibly tough process. And she's not a hugely successful and incredibly rich public figure. It's painful to watch people treat Kanye West like a monster when all I see is a man who's trapped within himself and can't seem to figure his way out. His mother's love and guidance was his compass, and he's been wandering for a long time. I hope he gets the help he really needs.

Or all of the above? I'm so sorry to hear about your sister's hardships. I'm struggling with mental illnesses (and physical ones) as well. War PTSD being one, so I might just have something in common with your sister, though I didn't serve (respect & huge thanks for that). Haven't found my "correct cocktail of meds" yet, nor much help in psych/therapy dept. All the best to the both of you!

    @@A_Ducky I think he needs help in choosing to be the man he wants to be, (the husband he could have been), the father his children need him to be, and in choosing not to see himself as more than a man (because none of us are gods, I'm sorry) and admitting he has limitations and weaknesses and could use some help. Though I only mentioned my sister before, I know of others who are successfully managing their own. People who are spouses and parents and managers/executives, living very successful lives while managing their mental illnesses. The difference is they WANT to manage it so they can still lead great lives. My sister struggles with that part for other reasons. In my opinion, Kanye doesn't have the right people around him in this space. "Yes men" are bad even for a mentally stable/healthy person with that level of money and influence. Beyond that, we've seen how prideful the guy is. With an ego like that, he's only going to listen to and respect certain voices anyway. His mother's voice was the main one. That Yeezus doc showed he doesn't have many others like that around him. His father was clearly trying to speak in that capacity, but I don't think he holds that place as well as Ye's mother did. But I'm on the outside looking in. I just know that he's been spiraling for years, and it's clear that a lot of people don't get it. Not making excuses for him, but I cringe when celebs and other folk get into a war of words with him-he's not all the way there anymore to even fully realize what he's doing and why. But anyway, thanks for your kind and understanding words about my sister. It's been rough-especially on her kids. It's crazy to see, but a lot of kids just accept their parent for how they are and love them anyway, not really realizing what they're seeing isn't healthy until something or someone tells them. I feel for my nieces and nephew the most. I hope you find the help you need. If you didn't serve, it's alright. There are resources available for you, as well. But you have to want it for yourself and for those you love first. I hope you already do. Your diagnosis isn't a death sentence. Not if you don't allow it to be. Take care of yourself.

    There is a lot of bias from the author and from this bias stems a lot misunderstanding of Kanye. Yes, he was acting erratic and wasn't able to express him eloquently, but what he was saying wasn't crazy. You have to be openminded to realize that. But when you have a certain bias you assume someone would have to be insane to say things Ye said. This video makes it look like as if Kanye had a schizophrenic episode.

    There are other issues thought the whole narrative. Just take the Taylor Swift incident as a prime example. All the focus is on how outrageous and arrogant it was, how hugely inflated the Kanye's ego must've been, how he has no consideration for a 19 years old girl etc. All shallow takes that you can get from tabloids. Guess what was missing in this supposed deep dive video... not a second was spend to explore: why Kanye did it? Kanye cares about art deeply. One of his main domains is directing music videos. He has created some of the best, most creative and groundbreaking videos for his songs. Taylor received Video Music Award. Kanye didn't mean to disrespect Taylor. He went on stage to say that Beyonce's music video was one of the best of all time. It wasn't ego driven, he wasn't drunk on fame or power. He did it because Kayne is (and always has been) truly free. He ruined the show because he believed in what he said and it was more important to him than anything else. And if you were to compare these two music videos, he certainly had a point. But why bother even attempting to present the situation also from the Kanye's point of view, right?

    As far as the "kanye exposing elites thing". I question sometimes how he climbed to the top of music. His dad being a black panther his mom very influenced by academia and single motherhood the whole time. His music of promoting ego and hedonistic consumerism was right in line with the "agenda". And its fitting he would oust 50 cent commercially solidifying the change in the music industry from real street gangsters to art school industry insiders and influencers. He was promoted because he was useful. He's been cancelled because now he's a threat to the agenda message and he didnt articulate his own message well. I think his ego has driven him to do and say dumb things and he's still got to work on it. Its unfortunate seeing how he walked off timcast and really went off the deepend on alex Jones. I wonder if lyricism and getting help will help him truly articulate his message in a truly meaningful way.

Man, I feel like u can’t follow Kanye and not feel like u know Kanye….he’s like an avatar for us all in some way. His indecisiveness, his unique struggles, his breakdowns, and most of all his godlike glory moments that we all can only dream of attaining. For me, his weak/off whatever moments are the ones where he’s the most real. It’s like, I’m him in those faux pas moments. He’s never been the fool in my eyes, he’s only been a creative force under a spotlight the likes of which we’ve never seen before…he stil shoulders that shit like a champion.
