"Antisemitic song" is rather understating things...

If only he could be denied entry back...

Dude does anything for a spotlight so even this hitting news is a positive validating his relevancy

I have never been a fan but I feel like it's a lot deeper than just craving attention. The dude has serious unchecked mental problems.
"Source": My best friend has bipolar and we lived together during many episodes - the similarity is uncanny, minus the bigoted stuff

He was diagnosed with bipolar but has recently said he was misdiagnosed and instead has been rediagnosed with autism.
A grain of salt, but there appears to be something under the salt nonetheless.

He also said he doesn't believe the first diagnosis because the doctor is Jewish

this doesnt look like AUTISM which isnt one symptom or a group of other defecits, it sounds more like BPD with highs and lows, his highs being creative with music but his lows, depression his spiraling towards nazism.

Whatever. Fuck him, good for Australia 🥂

shouldve taken his meds, which he now refuses to do.

Hooray for an actually correct understanding of what Anti-Semitism is!

Completely separate from the anti-Semitism, the song itself is pretty awful. How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y
Par for the course
The mf has no fucking bangers if he was reduced to forcing games to play his music in the background through non diagetic sound.

I had to look it up but it seems to me you are simply referring to background music.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
it's a common term in media analysis
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
yeah, to differenciate it from being on the radio in the game, which is more usual for open world games.
DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 1y
Not true, Kanye's back catalogue is amazing. Anything before Yeezus was gold. It's been hit and miss since then.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Get real, he has always sucked.
Edit: the point of sampling is to elevate and curate hidden gems. In power, he took the well known gold that is 21st century schizoid man and somehow turned it to scum.

If you call an album Ballocaust , you might need to expect a little controversy at least.

I never knew you can get denied entry for being a bigot.
But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Canadian here, since we have similar laws. You have to be a real extreme bigot to be banned entry on that alone. I mean you have to be the type of idiot who would publicly declare himself a Nazi and a racist, like in a song or something.
Americans are always uncomfortable with Canadian hate speech laws. But 99% of us don’t ever have to worry about them, because 99% of us aren’t running around calling ourselves nazis and asking for the extermination of an ethnic minority.

oh okay thank you, Good to know.

also in a time like this where anyone can be called an anti-semite just for criticizing israel, western countries are actually touchy/. he might have better luck in a asian country.

Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too
princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 1y
Unfortunately, turning away Trump would have far greater diplomatic repercussions that I just don't see Albanese risking. Trump could pull America's embassy stuff, or enact further tariffs or sanctions. If Albanese wasn't ready to condemn (or at least not congratulate) the Iran strikes then he's not going to be ready to deny Trump entry while he's head of state.
Musk, on the other hand, well if we denied Kanye entry then we better fluffing deny him too. It's not like it wouldn't clearly be a well supported move considering we've had one of the greatest drops in Tesla sales YoY globally.
