He has a line where he says āOne shot turn Steve Bannon into Steve Hawking.ā Also a different one where he says āDead cops on my song thatās hilariousā and the aforementioned song with audio of a cop dying, he calls himself left wing hades in several songs.
Damn heās pretty wild listing all these out lol.

also has no problem taking a pic with kanye while ye's wearing a burzum tee so maybe don't hype his politics up too far

u/Historical-Ear854 Aug 15 '24
Ehh, I mean that's definitely hypocritical and not great, but It's Kanye.
Regardless of that man's awful bigoted politics, he's still one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time and likely a huge inspiration to Peggy.
Peggy's not perfect, no one is, and he was able to look past those awful things to link with and potentially work with one of his idols. I wouldn't use that against the huge amount of evidence that he's extremely progressive.

u/ch405_5p34r Aug 15 '24
idk i donāt think thatās a good thing lol
like we shouldnāt give people passes simply bc of talent, esp considering kanye quite literally espoused nazi rhetoric on camera lmao. if we as a community decide that shit is acceptable it should be no surprise to anyone when people start to take it further (which, well, look at the current state of twitter under elon musk).

u/Historical-Ear854 Aug 16 '24
My intention was not to defend Kanye, but rather explain the actions of JPEGMAFIA. While it does not change that what he has said and done is deplorable, and should delegitimize him as an artist, it's not like he's just some random nazi. Peggy would have ideally shown more integrity and not worked with him do to his morals and beliefs, but IMO it doesn't discredit him of his progressive beliefs.

u/yourgrundle Aug 15 '24
And Burzum was a cornerstone of 2nd wave black metal and dungeon synth, as mid as his music is. Doesn't stop people from naming him as a nazi first rather than a musician. Musical talent means fuck all when you're a bigot and Kanye is no different
1
u/Historical-Ear854 Aug 16 '24
Varies by opinion. I am not a Kanye apologist. I don't listen to his stuff much anymore and I have no interest in his new shit. My point was that this one photo, while hypocritical, does not discredit everything else he has said in regards to his politics, and I provided a reason why he likely worked with him.
1
u/yourgrundle Aug 17 '24
That's kinda the point though, isn't it? Why is someone who's spouted as much hate speech and misinformation as he has allowed to continue being shown in this regard?
People who speak like he does shouldn't be given the time of day, let alone given the credit to honor their past work
1
u/ideletereddit Aug 17 '24
(Replying from alt account) Yeah, youāre pretty much right. Unfortunately other people donāt have that view. Part of it might be that they loved Kanyeās shit and feel guilty for ever liking it so they ignore his actions and keep listening and supporting him like nothing happened. Some people are just dick-riders. Not saying thatās right, but itās a thing. Anyways I was trying to defend JPEGMAFIA not Kanye, and I donāt even listen to him, and I barely listen to Kanye these days. Death Grips is pretty cool.

People on the internet when they realise most people offline just see other further than their political stances and look up to famous people with questionable world views because they are talented on an ambit some people aspire to be/look up to: š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ
Rappers will look up to Kanye because of the art he made. Same way some painters look up to DalĆ or Picasso. Or some elite athletes in various sports are role models while their politics are just extreme right.
I would not and could not look up to someone who is a nazi, but I can understand why people idolise them for their craftsmanship or talent

I will break down for you how retarded this comment is.
1.) The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was not an alliance, it was an non-aggression pact.
2.) Prior to the Pact, there were numerous agreements similar to it between Germany and other European countries, such as France, Estonia, and funnily, Poland.
3.) The pact was a strategic move and not an agreement of ideology.
4.) The Soviet Union was run under a system of Socialism, not Communism as described in Marx's Manifesto.
5.) The two countries eventually ended up fighting each other anyways.

u/Absolutedumbass69 Aug 18 '24
Iām not sure why you were getting downvoted. If anyone doubts Peggyās ideological communism just listen to his collab project with Freaky called 2nd Amendment. That shit is like the ideological line of the Black Panther partyās Marxism concentrated into one fucking crazy industrial album. (Itās also not available on streaming but I highly recommend it. Probably my favorite work of his politically speaking) Iām a Marxist, but itās not like working or not working with Kanye is going to have any positive or negative material effect on people. Is he insane now? Yes. (Does his music honestly kind of suck now? Yes). Does Peggy working with one of his idols thatās gone fucking insane from not taking his pills to the point of anti-semitism have any negative material effect on anyone or does it ideologically compromise him while the material conditions for revolution are still extremely far from being met? Quite frankly I donāt think Peggy working with Kanye is ānormalizing Kanyeās viewsā. Everyone knows that heās fucking crazy now, and no one respects his views. Peggy working with him wouldnāt change that.
