    In all fairness, both Keef and Pump are famously dipshits. They’re both literally high school dropouts.

    While Keef especially can definitely pop out bangers, he’s not exactly a person anyone comes to for anything intelligent.

    Kanye West is one of the greatest rappers and producers in music history and is famously both stupid and an asshole. Being talented does not equate to being smart.

      Chief Keef is hated in his own neighborhood because instead of bailing out a lifelong friend from jail, he blew 25k at a strip club. He’s also not allowed back to Illinois because of a shitload of unpaid child support.

      Character wise, I wonder why he might like Trump?

      Keef and pump are drug addled idiots, Kanye is a man with mental illness who is too paranoid to take the drugs that will help him. Kanye has a lot of work to do to get back in peoples good graces but his is more of a sad story than a he’s an idiot that’s it story

        I think all 3 are sad stories, but it’s better to be disadvantaged and also one of the richest men alive than to be disadvantaged and not

        I empathize with West, but cannot accept him using his global platform to demean mental health responses, because my family fell apart due to my mother’s similar rejection of mental health treatment.

        Once he goes public, especially with his passion, with that stance, he opens himself up to criticism for it, in my view.

        Also the whole slavery thing.

          Kanye is definitely stupid af and I say this as a person who will routinely go weeks at a time only listening to his albums end to end.
