WTF was he thinking!


I remember watching it live - he was just laughing and then focused on the screen. But without the sound and context it looks like an almost psychotic snap mood change lmao. Which also looks funny.

Also, like I've said before - I am bipolar and, personally I do think Kanye is. I think that due to some of his emotional outbursts and the way he communicates and how pent up and egotistical he gets. Not that I'm saying getting egotistical is a bad thing, as it makes him produce great music.

But, that's by and far the most identifiable trait of bipolar, egomania and abstract and almost self-confusing loss of words, and circular manic thinking that can sometimes produce incredible tangents and creativity, but often just confusion or awe at own thought. And I do think we're watching a bipolar artist unfold or rather, propel upon is which is why he seems so extreme and constant. And back and forth.

By egomaniac by the way I don't mean it in the basic typical sense of somebody who is full of themselves, I mean REAL egomania characterized by bipolar whereby you have an unstoppable snowball of grandiose thoughts and become a walking self-fulfilling prophecy. And constantly think you're a genius and think you've figured out the truth to everything. Which is what I feel when manic, and quite a lot. And I think Kanye clearly displays manic periods. And I think his most obvious is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Manic cycles can last for weeks, months or even years but they're often not constant, just relatively short and irregular periods of overwhelming creativity (or need to be creative), self-love and feeling of self-importance, feeling of infinite capability and feeling as if you hold all the answers. Or if not, at least wish to get to the most inner-core profound truth of everything, possible. But, not in a realistic time frame, in about twenty minutes lmao. Hence the mania.

And, in some of the interviews for this album, the way he's waxing ecstatic about getting to the truth and how pure he wants to make his music and the fact he just totally emerged himself in his visual fantasies for the album... that's clear mania to me. Which is why it seems so abnormal to most people and why they feel the need to use the word 'genius'. Which I'm not discrediting by the way, but I think the word is a substitute / result of seeing people with disorders who are also talented, max themselves out and create things which seem totally original and intense.

It also raises an interesting discussion between the relationship of mental disorders and great art, it's been faintly raised in the past but never properly. I want to write a book on it, studying the relationship between 'genius' and 'disorder'. As I think when talent meets disorder, that = genius. And by disorder I mean any recognized or even unrecognized by neurotic, extreme mind / person.

Normal people create normal things, it takes an abnormal person (disordered) to create something abnormally brilliant. I think anyway. It's definitely an interesting subject to me but a lot more thought on it needs to be had.

Clearly Em has ADHD, or OCD or a combination or fucking something. Evident in his rhymes and obsessive maximizing of topics and schemes and extremely addictive nature. But, I'm babbling again. I did acid last night so probably a bit inspired to talk more than I should from that. LSD is my favourite mind tool :smoking: , pure beauty.

Did you listen to like, 2? Don't get me wrong, it's dope, but the musical aspect of it doesn't touch MBDTF. It does have some of his better technical rapping, but MBDTF wasn't about that. It just isn't a MBDTF style song, it's easy to see why it was left off.


I listened to a handful of songs, could never get into it.
