When you are in entertainment sometimes the industry wants you to branch out.
A comedian may be asked to act or write to cast a larger net to capture audience.
No one in the history of the arts has ever said, “Hey we really like your rap, what would you think of throwing together some nazi merch?!”
No one wants Nazi merch! Nazis don’t want nazi merch! They wore plane white sheets for a reason. Not much to brag about. Not fashion forward.
If any of you didn’t see…. Kanye West spent his own money to get a Super Bowl ad in order to sell shirts with swastikas on them.
BUMMER.
For a long time I was one of those people who when asked about Kanye would say, “Eh, he is probably mentally ill but his music still slaps.”
But you know what they say, “One nazi shirt is too many nazi shirts".
Was this always there? Was it celebrity? A legit breakdown? A not very well thought out nazi recruitment plan. GATHER AROUND NAZIS. YA KNOW WHAT WE NEED? MORE BLACK PEOPLE! MEETING ADJOURNED. WHITE POWER.
I made a sketch reaction video about KANYE HERE
I’m seeing some of my friends on the right and left somehow blame Palestine protests on this and the rise of antisemitism.
And I just want to say Ye has not been a voice for Palestinian Liberation. He has been a voice AGAINST Jewish people and there is a big difference.
I love America but I think Joe Biden is a senile old cracker brained war criminal. I love America but think Donald Trump is the same!
You can attack a government while still loving its people. As I do Israel. As I do America.
People will use Kanye as a way to silence dissent against Israel but remember. Kayne doesn’t have power. He’s a rich lunatic who needs to shut the fuck up.
KENDRICK ROCKED THE SUPERBOWL
You don’t have to like Kendrick but man I loved halftime. It’s one thing to not like Kendrick or hiphop but the negative responses were ….suspicious.
I made a sketch about people mad at KENDRICK HERE so don’t really need to repeat myself. Check it out if you want me take.
Love you guys so much, remember, these pieces I write here are just what’s on my mind. They won’t always be political. I’m certainly not looking to start shit. As I do more comedy, try to be more creative this is just one of my outlets. Something about the written page over IG sketches always makes me lean serious which I don’t always love.
Anyway to be honest I was gonna write some big hiphop piece comparing Kendrick to Kanye and fell asleep last night and am now like THIS WILL DO!
Thanks for the support. PODCAST COMING SOON!
Your Ye sketch is gone 😭 Someone mentioned that he has one of these "episodes" just before he drops an album, and they weren't sure which came first, the chicken or the egg, in that scenario, cuz each time his album drops people listen. Could be out of sheer curiosity, like what's this train wreck gonna say this time, and is it gonna be a bop or nah? Apparently his last album wasn't awesome? Idk, I'm not a fan of Ye. I did listen to the one he dropped after he found Jesus, but I started picking apart any bad theology I heard and I had to put it away. That was my own arrogance, though. Bible college problems. Everyone goes through that phase and it's super annoying; I got on my own damn nerves.
Idk why I'm so scared to blog when I write a freaking blog as a comment for crying out loud.
I'm so glad to see you doing stuff! I'm happy that you have the time and bandwidth to write and do skits and I'm pumped for your tour! Luh yew friend 🫶 Send my love to Alex!
