I’m not sure why but I get it….
Boom, roasted!
rip in peace
Jay-Z wondering why he got sideswiped out of nowhere.
Give me a Leonard cohen afterworld!
Is it narcissism when you’re right?
What in the ChatGPT is this
“I am the Kanye West Kanye West thinks he is”
lol I like that line
This sort of thing is why I hated high school and college English classes.
That’s probably just what his inner monologue sounded like all the time.
Cohen was an established and successful poet before he was like “Fuck it, I’m adding music”
This poem is the Kanye West of poems.
I am the Kanye West of Kanye West
I am the John Malkovich of John Malkovich
The John Malkovitch
I Malkovich the Malkovich
Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich
Malkovich Malkovich
Everybody knows.
Hallelujah.
It sounds like he wrote this poem in the style of a dis rap, while making fun of the “I’m the modern Jesus” kinda tropes that rap typically chest puffs with by making it almost nonsensical
I can just imagine Leonard Cohen picking up a magazine or turning on MTV, getting a whiff of Kayne’s shit and immediately saying the first two lines. Then he says, “hold on I think I need a pen and paper” and writing this entire poem in one sitting.
Leonard Cohen is someone who has met and partied with a substantial portion of the so-called Me Generation. And yet, upon encountering Kayne, you can tell he is unimpressed. Kind of disappointed even.
I am Leonard Cohen and I approve of this message.
I have no idea how but I thought the title said Leonard Nimoy and now I’ve read this in Spock’s voice and can’t stop laughing
Dude was 81 when he wrote this, that’s awesome lol
You all are missing the point. This is battle rap.
Leonard was a fan of the genre going way back. He himself has used a self-aggrandizing alter ego in his works from the beginning.
He was satiric, sardonic, sarcastic and above all, supremely self-aware.
This is not what you think it is.
I don’t like your fashion business, mister
And I don’t like these drugs that keep you thin
Dylan. Dylan. Dylan, Dylan, Dylan. Because I spit hot fire.
Kanye West reads this and thinks, “Who does this guy think he is!?!? The arrogance on this guy!?!?!?”.
The Poem: Read me again.
It will be completely wasted on Kanye ,Kanye will think this is actually kanyelujah
I was going to say no way Leonard Cohen wrote this then I read:
“I am Tesla
I am his coil
The coil that made electricity soft as a bed”
Leonard Cohen was a real one. I had the chance to hang out with him one day, and we chatted for about an hour. Coolest motherfucker I ever met. He could shit out 10 Kanye’s after his morning coffee if he wanted to.
I don’t know if this poem is good or not or serious or not but I do know that
*”I only come alive after a war/And we have not had it yet.”*
is one hell of a line.
I miss the Cohen Kanye, straight from a poem Kanye
I’ve been a huge Cohen fan since I was a kid. And one day I approached him for an autograph and photo. He was the nicest warmest guy you could imagine. I thanked him for giving me that time. He stopped and said “No thank you”. Expressed that he appreciated that I had taken the time to get an autograph and selfie with him. He wasn’t being sarcastic. He was literally just that great a guy. He looked amazing for a guy his age. But unfortunately got sick and passed away not too long later.
After reading this, Kanye now hates Jews again
It doesn’t seem to be about Kanye, it seems to be about culture… Kanye was created by his culture, our culture, and perspective of the poem is that of culture as if culture was a person.
egotistical asshole makes a poem about being an egotistical asshole. my sincerest applause, I suppose
ChatGPT write a poem titled Kayne West IS Picasso:
Kanye West IS Picasso, so they say,
A creative genius in his own right,
Innovative, bold, unafraid to sway,
And challenge the norms, day or night.
His music, a canvas, a work of art,
Each song a brush stroke, each album a frame,
A reflection of his soul, his heart,
A testament to his skill and acclaim.
But Kanye’s artistry extends beyond sound,
To fashion, design, and visual art,
His vision, unique and unbound,
A masterpiece in every part.
He dares to dream, to think big,
To push boundaries, break barriers,
And with every stroke, every gig,
He shows us what true art delivers.
Well it’s shit, innit.
I enjoyed this poem
I am this poem
Leonard Chohen is not Rumi
I am Rumi
I am Epstein
Epstein didn’t kill himself
That’s a fuckin terrible poem
