People asking how to reconcile Kanye's new conservative political bent into what I wrote before (old article below), but to me all of this stuff is right in in line with his evolution, and more importantly a larger social phenomenon... http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/05/29/film-crit-hulk-smash-bad-enough-to-be-true-the-art-of-kanye-west …

And that is that 1. Kanye's always been blisteringly honest about his characterization of being rich and having rich people problems in a way most rappers avoid because it doesn't posture toughness.

And 2. It's actually reflective of the fact that there are wayyyyyyyyyyyy more conservative super rich celebrities who you would think lean left but vote because they're rich and want to keep their money. Kanye's weirdly the only one being honest about it.

Is he the only one being honest about it? There's plenty of openly conservative celebrities.

Stature as celebrities or stature as artists? Schwarzenegger was a Republican governor of California! Stallone is famously conservative, too. Clint Eastwood. Maybe not so many musicians, to be fair.
