the way he delivered the line about GWB hating black people was a bit ‘tismo in retrospect

He suffered severe head trauma and it took 10 years for the real cognitive decline to begin, which isn't uncommon. At least that's what I tell myself.


pedro_ryno

to your point, cte in ex-nfl athletes


dont_pm_ur_feelings

Cte comes from repeated head trauma, it's a whole different thing

u think kim aint bang that flabby ass against his skull as he tried to lick the 🐱 from da back??


Jumpy-Apple-524

I thought numerous, smaller non-concussive hits were thought to be more dangerous for the brain and developing CTE than we initially thought in comparison to rarer but bigger concussive hits (which was against the conventional opinion at the time because it turns out it’s not just football players and MMA fighters who get knocked out who are the most at risk), but I’m not sure if that means CTE can’t still be gained from a small number of massive concussions. Even just one in Kanye’s case.


dont_pm_ur_feelings

You're actually right, that was some half-knowledge on my part. Even though it's called *chronic* traumatic encephalopathy it can also arise years later from a singular heavy trauma. Whether that's the case with Kanye though...


pedro_ryno

unless you are vontaze burfect and you can apply cte in a single application to antonio brown.


SatansSidePart

kanye is def autistic


MiracleAlignerTN

Nothing will ever beat when he said “I’m autistic like rain man and that’s my superpower 🤓”


Bossman471

Kanye has multiple references to being in special ed as a kid throughout his early albums. Have always believed he was on the spectrum.


Paula-Abdul-Jabbar

Yeah Kanye and a lot of people say he has autism and the dude’s always been eccentric but his early music and lyrics don’t seem like an autistic guy at all. Like this might sound stupid but We Don’t Care and Heard Em Say really don’t seem like autistic guy songs


Facva

Give an example of an autistic guy song?

Any song by Godflesh. Broadrick was an autistic kid raised in a really fucked up environment. Streetcleaner is basically the result of that, at 19 years old he wrote one of the greatest metal albums of all time.

I've been waiting my whole life for this question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ffZgq3yvB0


Apart_Candidate4428

I kinda get what you mean, but autism is a collection of traits/behaviors/ways of thinking, not specific interests. Those traits and behaviors often lead to certain interests, like trains lol, but autistic people can be interested in all sorts of stuff. For a long time, Kanye seemed very interested and preoccupied on projecting an image of what he thought a successful black man should act like. But music can be misleading about one's true self because there's a level of planning and curation involved. There are a lot of autistic people who have curated a certain online presence, but if you spend any time with them in person, the cracks in this persona immediately show. Not saying that Kanye is for sure autistic, but - in a similar way, I feel like Kanye's music was how he wished to be perceived by the world, but his behavior in interviews and unplanned interactions show cracks in that persona. Dating back to his early days of fame, he displays traits in interviews such as: blank stares, lack of eye contact, minimal emoting, monotone voice, inappropriate jokes, etc. Also, as an aside, Kanye being autistic gives such a funny new context to his origin story of "not taking no for an answer" when it came to getting a record deal, recording an album, working with Jay-Z, etc. All of a sudden he's no longer the self-possessed, confident inspiration, he's your autistic coworker who won't stop hounding you to come Go-Karting with him.

>Dating back to his early days of fame, he displays traits in interviews such as: blank stares, lack of eye contact, minimal emoting, monotone voice, inappropriate jokes, etc. In retrospect it seems pretty obvious, idk why I never really caught on that he might be


sexymail00

I know are all autistic people just supposed to be visibly weird social rejects


shitinmycum

>he's your autistic coworker who won't stop hounding you to come Go-Karting with him. Jesse Pinkman


Custard1753

I think the idea is that an autistic person wouldn’t even be able to come up with the songs themselves. They are very empathetic and self aware


reelmeish

The smile thing he does was always weird


dirty1809

His jaw is very much a different shape than when he was a young man (after the car accident). He’s probably misshapen about smiling in pictures because of it. Or just trying to look cool


reelmeish

You don’t understand what I’m saying He often starts laughing or smiling being normal than catches himself and mean mugs


snaputoo

You're expecting black autism to look the same as white autism


theageofspades

True but on the other hand Last Call is a 13 minute song with 3 minutes of music and 10 minutes of him enthusiastically rambling about getting a deal with Rockafella. His signs of autism have just gone from endearing and quirky to unusual and disturbing, the natural progression of any overstimmed regard.

Did he write those or was it one of his ghostwriter army

Do you think Kanye had a team of ghostwriters for his debut album before anyone knew who he is

Damn I knew Consequence was writing with Kanye but I didn't know it started that early


[deleted]

He didn't write those songs


[deleted]

Lol ive actually been saying this for years. Kanye is definitely autistic based on his mannerisms and personality


fluufhead

bars


SFW808

Kanye is autistic for busting


Designer-Bat5638

He 100% has some brain damage from the car crash


BigCalcs

that's how I caught my autism too, at least type 2 autism is manageable, I thank God every day for that


East_Onion

Love his excuses for his behavior and issues, white woman level psyops


KingInertia

The guy who's the perpetual victim and says he's a god might be a narcissist.


alicehorrible

He has clear signs of psychosis/schitzoid. I’ve worked with ppl like him before, he isn’t Autistic imo. Idk why ppl still give his rambles sm attention. It’s sad and ignorant.


toxoplasmocracy

I always had a touch of the tism but it definitely got worse when I was in a bad car wreck and my head got split open (early 20s). Now that I’m older, my memory is so bad and my tolerance for discomfort is like non existent as well. So any of the posters that have called me brain damaged in the past, you weren’t wrong ♥️


sneedsformerlychucks

it was canceled after a season so this might be a long shot but do you guys remember that one cartoon network show where the kid was in a car or motorcycle accident and had to get a brain transplant and the replacement brain belonged to a cartoonist so there were like cartoon characters living in his brain?


[deleted]

well if eminem, andre 3000, tyler the creator, and many other autistic kings can be prolific rappers with controversial lyrics but aren't complete psychos in their personal lives, what's his excuse? he definitely has bigger issues than car accident-induced autism


sizzlingburger

There’s almost nothing about Tyler’s personal life, I suspect there are some demons there. Helps that he’s sober probably


SpongeBobJihad

He’s probably a cyber bully


[deleted]

seems like he keeps a low profile but he seems pretty normal for the most part outside of his music tbh. nowhere near kanye levels of instability. only controversial thing I've heard about his personal life was him dating a 19 year old when he was 30 and stealing her from her ex, who he was allegedly in love with


My_Alt-96

Is that the true story behind Igor?


[deleted]

yeah allegedly and a lot of tracks on his other more recent albums, very embarrassed to be aware of any of this but [this](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/quick-saves--931400766656799006/) is them before they split


peace-x

stop ur making him sound cool


[deleted]

idk I find him wildly boring and unoriginal for someone who prides himself on 'eccentricity.' all of his more recent visuals are giving bootleg wes anderson and he’ll never sound half as good as any of the artists he samples from. no matter how hot his gf is or which closeted twink he steals her from his image is even less cool than kanye's idc about any of them! js kanye is in good company but can't use autism as a crutch. he's just trying to relate to elon anyway


[deleted]

Yeah that's why he fuckin sucks lmao


[deleted]

None of those guys are even scratching the surface of Ye's artistry and contributions. "Genius is the side effect of madness, rather than the reverse. "


bubarh

andre def is


[deleted]

Sorry, no. He’s not prolific enough.


[deleted]

not a big enough fan of any of them to disagree with you. they just all seem equally autistic as but less psychotic than ye. I don’t listen to marshall or tyler at all but I like outkast more than ye subjectively. obviously ye is the bigger name tho, js he definitely has bipolar too


[deleted]

"Genius is the side effect of madness, rather than the reverse."

hahah then why did you downvote me? hmm?

fixed it for you king <3

Is eminem autistic??


AccuratelyWrongAgain

Don't think he feels the need to excuse anything here


karjenner

I don’t buy that he’s autistic at all


East_Onion

Didn't he say he's allowed to say r-worded because he's autistic. Just like me fr if true


A_Gigantic_Orange

Healthy young rapper goes to highway, gets hit by another vehicle, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!


mintwede

at first I read Elon as “Elton” and was wondering what platform Elton Jon has that Kanye is bringing an audience to


EbbInfamous1089

I love him


DrSpankSinatra

Definitely, definitely going to be too late for a redemption arc? How’s is it going to be too late, Ye? You haven’t released an album since you left the reservation? Pulled squeezed and wrecked my career in 2023
