I'm gobsmacked, though I suppose we shouldn't be. What do you think?

As I read somewhere else on line, if Kanye becomes POTUS, we will have a FLOTUS of whom we have seen every body part, other than kidneys.

He's nuts. But then Reagan and possibly Trump both had alzheimers.

Well they had Ronald why not Kanye ???

I don't think you can compare the two.

At least Ronald, if not the greatest president of all time, helped to bring us Glasnost and did (eventually) sign the Montreal Protocol.

How will Trump go down in history? Perhaps a better comparison.

I attempt to keep my GD's away from that kind of "music" what chance have I got if he's the President!!My daughter has a friend who thinks its funny when her 3 year old parrots the lyrics ,I'm sorry I think thats a form of abuse ,who wants that filth coming from awee innocent face

Just imagine having a First Lady who was in a porno film. Promoted and touted by her mother.

Surely they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now?

World gone totally mad! Having said that he couldn't possibly be worse than the Donald!

Urmstongran Sun 05-Jul-20 17:46:50

He’s got so much ‘white stuff’(expensive) up his nose does he even know was he’s tweeting half the time?
?

To think Clinton had to deny he ‘inhaled’. Hehe!

How times have changed.

He's a great lyricist. (Unlike West)

Is this April fools day?

I quite liked Eminem/Marshall Mathers stuff particularly "Stan" thought that was quite beautiful in spite of the profanities.

MissAdventure Sun 05-Jul-20 17:38:47

My girl used to play an eminem album that always seemed to play a tune that said "My mum, my mum!" and some pretty graphic lyrics, just as we pulled into sainsburys car park. blush

When my son was mid teens he was a huge fan of Marshall Mathers and Dr Dre, somehow he'd always con my husband into putting one of their cds on in the car if he was with us, after ten minutes of effing and jeffing, my husband would say "right that's enough of that" and hastily replace it with something like Bach thus restoring his inner calm.

I had a punt on Trump so I think I'll do the same with Kanye.
Anythings possible ?

Oopsminty Sun 05-Jul-20 17:00:45

I quite like Eminem as well. Or Marshall Mathers III if we're in polite society

MissAdventure Sun 05-Jul-20 16:40:48

I love a bit of eminem.

EllanVannin Sun 05-Jul-20 16:40:03

What a quaint song.

Nearly as bad as Marshall Mather's lyrics but not as good a musician by a long chalk.

SueDonim Sun 05-Jul-20 16:40:01

Maybe he’d split the Trump vote, allowing Biden in. ?

Keeleklogger Sun 05-Jul-20 16:39:41

From one nutcase to another

Oopsminty Sun 05-Jul-20 16:36:08

Oh I do like his Flashing Lights! I often have it playing loudly whilst driving

TerriBull Sun 05-Jul-20 16:34:24

Super! I bet Cole Porter, if he were still around today, would be eating his heart out to aspire to such lyrical perfection.

MissAdventure Sun 05-Jul-20 16:33:36

Yep.
Perhaps everyone could sing along, if he gets in. smile

Chewbacca Sun 05-Jul-20 16:27:19

Lyrical isnt it! hmm

MissAdventure Sun 05-Jul-20 16:25:13

Here's the lyrics to one of Kanye's tunes.

I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck I like my dick sucked, I'll buy you a sick truck
I'll buy you some new tits, I'll get you that nip-tuck
How you start a family? The condom slipped up
I'm a sick fuck, I'm inappropriate
I like hearin' stories, I like that ho shit
I wanna hear more shit, I like the ho shit
Send me some more shit, you triflin' ho bitch"

Kim Kardashian and her sisters, famous, well not sure for what exactly, other than having everything pumped up, particularly their derrieres to eye watering proportions. Kim's in particular combined with her hips are the size of a planet and one of the larger ones like Jupiter shock Their mom is known as a mom manager cos her whole purpose seems to be elevating her tribe in to the public eye, was married to Bruce Jenner before Bruce became Caitlin. Her first husband, Robert Kardashian, was a lawyer who acted for O J Simpson I believe. Kim's married to Kanye West who is a rapper, together they are the King and Queen of Bling and all that is vulgar and false.

There you have it a brief history of a couple of the main proponents of the worst aspects of popular culture.

BlueBelle Sun 05-Jul-20 16:02:51

He’s a great supporter of Trump and pretty much an idiot too as is his wife and family yawn yawn yawn
