Can someone explain to me why Bowie was a respected and revered musician when he was doing the exact same shit that Kanye has been doing? Very telling.

Cry about it, Kanyefag

He was a talented hack

I could but regardless of what I'll say I can tell your faggot-ass will disregard it and continue to whine

Bowie is a musician and Kanye is a talentless hack

If only Kanye’s retarded dead-Donda ass could talk this articulately in support of African-Americans…

Because one made good music.
(Hint: the one that isn't Kanye)

Bowie didn't have a history of stupid antics and a list of stupid shit that he said for over a decade, unlike Kanye who's also taken the nazism thing far beyond what Bowie did, including selling t-shirts and hoodies with swastikas, denying the holocaust, saying he loves hitler and he's a nazi several times. This all happened after he was licking Trump's boot and saying slavery was a choice

The Thin White Duke was meant to be a weird satirical character act which he took the bit too far due to not caring about drugs. Bowie still deserves blame obviously but I don't truly believe he actually was a fascist at any point, or would openly identify as one if you were to talk to him privately. Plus it was also a different time where several artists were flirting with nazi/fascist imagery for shock value, and there wasn't cancel culture. In current times saying you're a nazi and love hitler is career suicide

Last point, Bowie was also making his best work in the same time period with Station to Station and Low, then eventually the rest up to Scary Monsters. Kanye's music on the other hand has been sharply declining since 2018 since his brain is getting worse due to bipolar and nitrous addiction, he's pretty much washed now after making Donda 2, Vultures 1&2, now Bully. He shouldn't be rapping anymore

Bowie apologized for it.

Ye keeps doubling down.

NHH

what about when its doen for shock value like you say Bowie did?

Rules for thee but not for me ahh post

Ye's "apology" was clearly written by ChatGPT.

When did Bowie said:
>NIGGA HEIL HITLER
>They dont like what i post on twitter (manchild concerns)
>Nigga Heil Hitler
???
>>
>>129818946
Bowie could blame it on drugs, and he had a much better claim to it being satirical performance art. Ye is just an autistic schizo.
>>
>>129819890
Retard I already explained it, there's a clear difference versus what Bowie did then Kanye did and acting like it's the same is being disingenuous. And it was a much different time fifty where artists were able to be get away with "shock value" actions easier than today where people are generally more sensitive. If Bowie today tried to play the same character and say "Britain could benefit from a fascist leader" he would get destroyed for that today
>>
>>129820052
lol you genuinely believe Kanye is a nazi? holy fucking reach bozo
>>
>>129820056
No but selling nazi merchandise, making music calling himself a nazi, doubling down on loving Hitler, calling himself a nazi, denying the holocaust several times, etc... is an entirely different story than Bowie's case. If you think they're one in the same you're just dickriding to an insane degree because you're probably a gen alpha kid

It's clearly autistic burnout.

One is black and thus has no value in the negrified cultureless art it produces.
>>
>>129818946
Bowie's phase lasted for like a single year, and he made one of his best records meanwhile. Kanye has been an attention whore for the past decade and hasn't made a single decent album since then.
>>
bowie was a chameleon, more subtle, and was involved with the occult, he also used the excuse that he was on drugs and the whole thing was one of his many personas/acts, did you really think he was a rainbow alien named ziggy stardust too?

lets look at the diffrence

"nigga hail hitler"- kanye

"the return of the thin white duke, making sure white stays"- bowie

there was a backlash against bowie, i think it was called somethiing gay like "rock against racism", bowie got in trouble for imitating hitler, not saying he liked hitler. bowie would go around in a car and throw hitler salutes to the people


oh yeah, and bowie would end up marrying a black woman, something kanye would never do because he is a self hating spaz
>>
>>129820365
He also got asked about those comments for the rest of his life too which he would say he's not fascist and regrets those statements
>>
>>129820396
>he would say he's not fascist and regrets those statements
wow just like Kanye has done with the apologies to jewish people? So I guess Kanye can be forgiven like Bowie was
>>
>>129820423
I mean a lot of people do forgive him as millions still listen to his new music. But what Kanye did was far worse, I still don't think you understand that because you have a peanut alpha gen brain. Go back to watching speed and stop stinking up this board
>>
>>129820423
bowie was more clever, as i said, you dont really think he was a gay alien named ziggy too. he could be excused
>>
>>129818946
Atleast Bowie was talented and musically gifted

and Humble
>>
>>129818946
Bowie was merely performative and doing it for the sake of cultural shock
>>
Kanye is still a huge musician with countless fans.
>>
>>129819890
Because Kanye wasn't—just—doing it for shock value. To the extent such was possible for a man in his state, he was serious. Just like how he was serious about molesting his cousin.
>>
>>129818946
Bowie was a musician
Kanye is not (rap is not music)
>>
>>129819703
>he's pretty much washed now after making Donda 2, Vultures 1&2, now Bully
All better than Bowie's slop. Vultures being le bad is the biggest meme going, they're both good albums that redditors, RYMtroons and Fagtano drones aren't "allowed" to like.
>>

Deserves "blame"? Obviously? What for?
>>
Bowie was still in his prime and really only dipped his toe into the nation shit. Kanye is a middle aged divorced dad having a national meltdown phase on the internet a decade past his prime as an artist. There's a big difference
>>
>>129821622
>Bowie doesn't have fans
>>
>>129818946
>>129818953
Bowie could behave publically while openly talking about taboo shit, despite pushing the same macho-interracial schizo mysticism.
Bowie was Tarzan trying to be English, whereas Kanye is Yakub trying to be white.
>>
>>129823785
And?
Brown people can listen to music too
Do you want that changed? Then devise a new way of listening to music that prevents my kin from accessing it.
You are the master race so that shouldn’t be a problem for you.
>>
>>129818946
They're both massively overrated.
>>
Because he was basically doing a different costume for every album. Everyone who wasn't homoerotically obsessed with him (all of his male fans) saw it as yet another schtick of his for attention. Style over substance striking again, and he was onto the next mask soon enough. With Kanye, we're talking not just about a much more influential figure but a guy who was heading into chuddier territories for a while now. It felt sincere, even if you took into account his obvious mental illness.
>>
So the jews are spinning up the nazi moral panic again despite currently invading 2 countries? People taking this blood money need to be executed as traitors.
>>
>>129824886
It's literally the only moral defense they have. They are such liars and fakers that they can literally dominate the global power structures while acting like they're 2 seconds away from being in the camps.
>>
>>129824001
For making a stupid statement indicating that he's a fascist, it was reckless and it would follow him the rest of his life
>>
>>129822290
Lol you're a fucking retard

Kanye is a brilliant producer and songwriter whereas Bowie was a bad John Lennon impersonator.

Bowie fans are just racists with shit taste.
>>
>>129825155
What's wrong with being a fascist? What do you think that word means?
>>
>>129824544
>Brown people can listen to music too
Most are not allowed due to their religion though.
>>
>>129819703
That's probably only because Bowie didn't have social media.
>>
>>129818946
This is kind of shit you can only care about if you spend all day on social media.
>>
Reminder.
