Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on, "Kanye West is an IDEA". Basically, I was at a bit of a creative block this past week and I decided to make something purely for the sake of getting me out of that block. I was watching a lot of Kanye interviews, Andy Kaufman clips, etc, and decided to go down that classic rabbit hole. The ol' "Kanye is just doing performance art" bit. Not that I necessarily believe that he's been playing a character for the past decade or something, but I think it's worth thinking about. That, or just the idea that, everything is relative. What he's doing might not make sense to anybody else but him, but *shrugs*, ya know? His recent Instagram rampage was just coincidental timing. But, it further proves the point that the video is getting at -- being fearless and doing whatever you want, in the face of people calling you crazy.

Press F to mourn Alfo Media's massive loss

So Andy Kaufman faked his death to become Kanye, now that is the best answer to that theory

A real example of an artist trying to find the middle ground was Bob Marley, who performed at the smile Jamaica concert despite having been nearly shot and killed a few weeks earlier. Who tried in his own way to appeal to both parties fighting for the soul of Jamaica through his politically and socially conscious lyrics. That's the kind of bravery and Gutsiness and vision I think of as 'genius'.

Kanye is the only reason I believe we live in a simulation. Everything else was so meticulously crafted but then they fucked it up and made Kanye

Honestly the REAL Idea of Kanye West is that his musical talent and creativity is indicative of him being an overall genuis or possessing superior intellect. In reality, he is contrarian who knows how to leverage his immense cultural clout to his benefit even when in the wrong.

It's an interesting idea that I hadn't actually heard before but that seem to have existed for a long time (not that deeply familiar with the hip hop scene). It's possible he's gone the same path that Andrew Dice Clay went. It started off as a joke, but he became so entrenched in it that he actually became the joke.
You can see it with actors too. I remember Hugh Laurie talking about an acting gig he had where he played a cop or something and as he walked into the hospital in a scene he instantly started limping on que. It had become so ingrained in his association with hospitals. Imagine if you're doing this day in and day out. Kauffman changed up his jokes at least, Kanye is playing the same joke over and over again. That could make you stumble into role without noticing and then becoming stuck there.
Him having mental illness is not helping his case either.

Anyone come back after the last two weeks and feel more conflicted?

Alfo,
We need you to tell us how you feel about all this podcast stuff man.

Exactly like Jared Lego’s joker

I eagerly wait for your next video about Kanye. How do you feel after everything that's happened recently? I'll always love his music but he's done and said some pretty awful shit these past few weeks

Yikes..

Great video and definitely thought-provoking. Some people in the comments are taking it too literally or taking it to excuse specific shit, but I enjoyed the video for what it is.
