^^THIS^^. Like Trump, he knows that being an asshole gets more attention than doing the right thing. He’s an attention vampire. The more he gets, the more he wants. And bad attention is better than no attention at all. Imagine if he and Trump put all this energy towards their supposed professions. They’d be unstoppable.
It's poetry and it takes talent to do well. Just not my cup of tea. Also, no one ever played "Begin the Beguine" near me in a car so loud one of fillings came loose.
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed. People with HPD often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention. Imagine a HPD person who's turbo famous, has a vast fortune, and the press that monitors his every move. The more outlandish things he says the more he dominates the news cycles. Fame at Kanye's level can turn malignant.
"We'll always have right wing crazy social media sites, but now that twitter has become one, there is no point in staying to post cute cat pix."Generally, a social media site or a website in general has to have SOMETHING to attract people. Cute cat pix would be enough for me, but at the very least there must be news or gossip or recipes or attractive scenery pictures or SOMETHING. People just posting "Kill all the [ethnic slur]!!!!" have a very limited appeal.
"I'm not saying an unchallenged right wing echo chamber is a good thing,"The righties have painted themselves into a bit of a corner here. Their worldview in its entirety is "Own the libs", but their positions are indefensible, their intelligence is strikingly limited, and their egos are paper-thin -- so while they might not find an echo chamber any fun, they also can't cope outside of one.
"once celebrities, journalists, and normal people leave, it just becomes a shit show that can't get advertisers or subscribers"Subscribers must have something to attract them, as referenced above. Advertisers in general do not wish to have their companies/products associated with post after post of "Kill all the [ethnic slur]!!!!", and per "Citizens United", those corporations/people may follow their sincerely held beliefs not to give their money to Lonnie and his shit show.
"It's just talking with some music on in the background. Anyone can do that. You don't have to bother learning how to play music. Just turn on the record player and start talking shit."
The first time I ever heard rap (years ago), my then boyfriend was invited to a birthday party for one of his co-workers. She was African American, her whole family was there, and they had a big party in the basement.Two of her friends had turntables set up, and were playing music and rapping.I had never even heard OF rap, let alone heard it, so I just assumed that they were making it up as they went along, and I was like, "Wow, these guys are geniuses!"
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers... And that so-called music of theirs is just NOISE." -- Ovid, 43 BC
"He’s going to be one of those celebrities that when he flames out in spectacular fashion, the media will be all “we never saw it coming” and “why we’re all to blame for what happened to Kanye.”"
The TMZ type media loves this, though, and they make this kind of switch all the time."Ha ha, look at Lindsey Lohan got shitfaced and fell on her ass outside a nightclub!"2 days later:"Boo hoo, beloved actor Philip Seymour Hoffman ODs in tragic accident!"

Kanye is headed for a cataclysmic event that could people's lives in danger, including his own....
That's a no brainerThe Assholes
After a certain point (long ago) I stopped caring about the cause of his noise. I just want him to go away.

""Shoot the police that protect these shitbag senators right in the head"
Hundred bucks says this was posted by someone with a Blue Lives Matter sticker on his truck.
Because modeling is about showing off the CLOTHES, not the people, and therefore you want a body type as similar to a clothing hanger as possible.

There's white, and then there's phosphorescent.

RE song parodies specifically, MAD Magazine, Weird Al, and (if you're really old) Allan Sherman have to take their fair share of the blame.
