He's a fucking loon with no concept of reality and has absolutely zero knowledge of marketing and business.

I disagree.

...has he? Do tell. I'd like to see some evidence other than he's popular and rich because he's a talented musician. I mean, stop me if I'm wrong (I'm not), but didn't this happen: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/02/kanye-west-53-million-dollar-debt-explained/amp

I’m not invested enough to dispute this, so I’ll assume you’re right for the sake of conversation.

But hey, you’re the first person to give me a valid reason that he may not be as smart as I think.

So far the comments have been about political leaning, projected racism, and somehow (with myself just as to blame as the rest, as I got dragged into it) an implication that he and myself support slavery.

So you have my respect for being the only person to bring up a valid rebuttal.
