Adding context to this image. On the left is Kanye "I love Hitler" West. Kanye said he would release a new album called Vultures on December 15, then it was delayed until New Year, then January 12, and now it is TBD. People speculated that the Vultures album cover was a reference to neonazi band Burzum and this new photo with Kanye wearing a burzum tshirt confirms that. Kanye is still saying antisemitic things and went on at least one antisemitic rant in the past month.

Kanye's teeth look weird because this week he spent $750k to install a permanent grill in his mouth that makes him look like Jaws from 007.

On the right is JPEGMafia aka Peggy. JPEGMafia is a self-proclaimed communist, political, experimental hip hop artist. Some JPEGMafia songs that stand out to me are "I wipe my ass with confederate flags" and "I just killed a cop now I'm horny". JPEGMafia is/was a fan of hasanabi and became real life friends; JPEGMafia ate Christmas dinner with Hasan's family in 2021.

4 days ago, JPEGMafia posted a drunken rant on twitter about how he wants to work with Kanye because he only cares about money and Kanye is his hero who inspired him to start making music.

Today, we are given this photo of them working together. I am devastated.

I don't ever want to hear about cancel culture again when this fucking guy still gets around.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

Anyone who actually disappears from the public eye was never really in the public eye anyway. How many artists say that they've been canceled and are still in the public eye? The mainstreaming of the term "cancel culture" and any other related term (woke, social justice, etc, etc) has been greatly damaging. People parrot right wing talking points without even stopping to think what it all means.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I mean, being fair here idk if cancel culture 100% applies like for a "normal" celebrity when Kanye has both now cultivated a bigoted political fanbase but also is basically a mainstream lolcow that people are more interested in having in the spotlight to get entertainment from his outbursts and meltdowns rather than limit the harm he can do to others and himself.

To be clear: My main point is that this should not be the example case you use for if cancel culture is real or not.

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

It's not his teeth that look weird, its like he has a broken jaw, or fucking John McCain

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

He does have a broken jaw, that's how his career started lol

[-] abc@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

maddened no through the wire was an allegory

[-] kot@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

Is he really a self-proclaimed communist? 'Communist Slow Jams' has very little communism in it, despite the name.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

Late reply but yes, listen to Veteran. He's talked about his politics in some interviews, but it's not really all that straightforward as to say he's some kind of principled leftist who betrayed his ideals to go hang out with a Nazi he happens to admire because of his music. His political views are really a lot more vague and he's never really stated his allegiance to anything. Take that how you will, IMO it's still surprising and disappointing to see him go back on what he's said in his music to this extent but he hasn't exactly hidden that he's a little opportunistic.

Jpeg has a song directly shit talking Burzum wtf

@RonPaulyShore@hexbear.net

Tagging this user because this user argued with me that Kanye's new album cover was definitely not a Burzum reference.

https://hexbear.net/comment/4370820

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago

Saw a comparison posted on the twitter link and anyone who claims thats not a Burzum ref is either a whole fucking circus or spitting in your face with contempt lying.

Copied the font like come on, its the same fucking font and all.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

The font is one thing, it's not an original font I'm the first place. Varg probably stole it from Bathory. HOWEVER, add everything else about the image and it is clearly a Burzum reference. Gotta admit 10 years ago this is one of the last things I'd ever guess would happen.

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

From what I understand, Varg was a fan of Bathory (even ripped off their song Necromancy) so he probably used the font. It clearly is a Burzum reference because no Bathory albums look like that

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

All of black metal is massively influenced by Barhory, so no surprise there. Plus Bathory are fucking sick. Bathory, ironically had a lot of influence from anarcho punk bands from the UK, their singer says he based his vocals on the dude from Riot//Clone (I don't hear it), but yeah, Bathory wasn't right wing at all and at least one member was at least very influenced by anarchist music, and you don't usually listen to 80s anarcho punk for musical genius (though it's around here and there)

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 35 points 8 months ago

Fucking embarrassing to have lyrics not only specifically clowning on Kanye but Burzum as well and then do some shit like this.

At the very least you'd expect like a quip about it, not that that would improve the situation but it would make me feel less contempt.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

nailed it

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

is he calling himself a vulture? I'm so confused

[-] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 37 points 8 months ago

"Vultures" is the title of Kanye's new album. I guess peggy's gonna feature on it molotov

[-] mechwarrior2@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

just guessing, probably those who previously celebrated Kanye but now reject him are the "vultures"

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

Cause he's dying and people are picking in him? Thars the metaphor he wants to work with.

[-] mechwarrior2@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

As in like, "culture vultures", those who exploit appropriate etc Black art

[-] ItsPequod@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Promise I won't ever go blonde like Kanye

F.D Signifier's video about Kanye got a good 2 parter about how big of an influence on young black men and artists he has had, and why this probably happened.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

Well, time for me to become the new perfect communist rapper

The kids can call me Bulbos Daformitee

went from “i wish varg would come to bmore and see” to this 💔

[-] Deadend@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

That picture looks so uncomfortable.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

Hasan Piker did show this photo on stream but didn't say much about it. He kept saying "I don't have anything to say". Hasan became real life friends with JPEGMafia. In 2021, JPEGMafia ate Christmas dinner with Hasan and his parents. That seems like a pretty close relationship.

Hasan basically said that he didn't know that JPEGMafia was going to do this and he hopes that JPEGMafia is going to try to move Kanye away from his far right beliefs. This seems like wishful thinking.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The thing is that he likely will influence Kanye to change in some way. Hell, maybe even denounce nazism and apologize and embrace communism.

But Kanye is an opportunist who seeks attention and refuses help and medication. Whatever changes he goes through will be completely unauthentic and he’ll link up with Jackson Hinckle then praising Pol Pot in 2026 then moving back to black power

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

Ok. :pain:

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

OK, I heard he was wearing a Burzum shirt but just figured it was an album cover or whatever, not going Varg with a fucking mace looking cringe as hell

[-] JamesConeZone@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

I really did think I knew him bawllin-sad
