Kanye West had announced that he would release an album tonight. Kanye was previously a very popular hip hop artist, who destroyed his career by saying "I love Hitler" on Alex Jones show. Kanye has since expressed many far-right political beliefs and collaborated with white supremacist figures.

I checked his twitter today to see if he had actually released the album. I'm worried that if his music becomes popular again, his music will further normalize fascist ideology. Instead, I see that he is trying to sell foldable shoes "on presale", not manufactured yet. This is a funnier outcome than I could have predicted.

Kanye stans are the biggest suckers on the planet.

Lmao, you know he just thought “what if you could fold your shoes and put them in a drawer like a sock” after partially realizing his entire room dedicated to shoes or something took up an obscene amount of space.

Yes Kanye, shoes need to fold to be efficient. It’s not the decadence of having a shoe closet that’s inefficient.

Selling grippy socks to your fans for $200 is hilarious

I too wear socks

[-] TylerDurdenJunior@lemmy.ml 37 points 10 months ago

It's a sock

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Its a sock with a rubberized soul that's probably going to be unbalanced and prone to giving you a twisted ankle.

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

rubberized soul

[-] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Great album, my favorite song is Norwegian Wood Grain

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 35 points 10 months ago

This is just those socks with anti-slip soles you get from Target

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 27 points 10 months ago

In what way was his career destroyed mother fucker still out here being a weird nazi worth a billion dollars who I have to hear about constantly

[-] dead@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

Successful career would mean that he's making money. He's been out of the spotlight for a solid year. After Adidas dropped his sponsorship, his net worth dropped by liked 70%. He's on the fringe right now. This past 3 weeks though, he's been on the rise a lot and I suspect it's going to lead to something bad. As the other comment mentions, he just had another antisemitic rant during a music performance about 4 hours ago, but he's still hanging out with a lot of other big name rappers.

I made this post about the shoes because it made me laugh. I think scam inventions are funny. I posted this so that other people would laugh too. I'm trying to spread some laughter. Today is Friday. Enjoy yourself. Have a good day.

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

Good post hope you have a nice day :)

[-] AtomPunk@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

On one hand I want the Kanye stans to get ripped off for stanning him this late in the game

On the other I don't want a nazi getting funded

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

They don’t feel like they’re getting ripped off though. Kanye has scraped dozens of songs, several albums, and even entire classrooms of children lol. But they will still worship him

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

A new rant from the end of his "listening party" just went up where he says all the antisemitic shit again along with saying they took down r Kelly and Bill Cosby for being successful black people and threatening to "exile" anybody who doesn't let him keep ranting

And thr kanye sub is still full of people defending him or at worse saying shit like "there's some things you can't say out loud"

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

(((They))) suppressed Jeffery Epstein for being a real one

[-] manuallybreathing@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

in a clip I saw yesterday from the listening party/ rave/ whatever he dragged his children on stage for, when the lyric about how can I be antisemitic I just fucked a jewish b#tch, that line was left for the pre recording while kanye started chanting kill, kill, kill

he sounded off his fucking face too

at least he's not going to make bank selling to literal nazis, but I think a bunch of libs are going to buy into this stuff without critiquing anything, and end up in reich-ous running gear

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

jesse-wtf

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

Congratulations you just invented overpriced, overhyped jika-tabi, I guess?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Decent jika tabi probably hold up better, too.

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

$200 socks in three sizes

(Warranty does not cover damage from putting on socks, stepping on ground with socks or folding socks. Side effects include but are not limited to: cold feet, getting your feet wet, getting sore on the part of your foot not supported by sole, slipping even on asphalt, dog ate it, crippling shame, feet smaller somehow)

[-] Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 22 points 10 months ago

The biggest problem with shoes is that when you take them off all the sweat from wearing them has a chance to evaporate

[-] envis10n@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

I had to double check that this wasn't a fakenews post

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

Do they come in programming sock colors?

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

How's he been post 21 Jump Street?

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

The idea is kind of cool. I wouldn't mind a shoe I could easily fold when packing. But this looks like a stocking.

[-] OtisRamflow@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Literally just Acorn sock slippers, with rubber instead of leather on the bottom.

[-] Sasuke@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

or to put in your purse when your out somewhere in high heels

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

Who is this for? People who wear high heels on a night out but take them off before they get home?

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Kanye fans who will spend hundreds of dollars on literally anything he puts out.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

StockX resellers and Chinese factories selling replicas to white kids

Foldable Footwear of the Future

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Fascist Footwear.

Socks: The Shoes

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It just looks like japanese ninja tabi without the split toe. If it weren't $200 you could probably convince cosplayers to buy it.

[-] grey_wolf_whenever@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

imo I wouldnt worry too much about him releasing music, I dont think hes ever going to have a big album/song again. Everything he's put out for the last 5ish years has sounded, at best, half finished and undercooked.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Someone convince him to make shoes with a meat compartment like Hulk Hogan.

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Finally

[-] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Also kanye

Wasn't this something Bankrun-Fraud was trying to push before he got into crypto? I think I heard it on an episode of Chapo.
