Time to let a heavy vehicle run over my head.

But really tho. You can't expect kids to know who Paul McCartney is.

Thats like asking our parents who some composer from the 1920's was.....

It'll be the same with my children and Kurt Cobain.

Gasp, kids don't know the individual members of an antiquated popdadrock band from the 60's.

not really. its not outlandish to presume some of the younger millenials arent really familiar with the beatles or paul mccartney's work after the beatles. its just kind of funny to me, the kneejerk reaction associated with kanye west. people like to hop on any opportunity to shit all over kanye or his fans.

lol

Unfortunately this isn't anything new, youtube comments have kind of killed the shock/surprise of children not knowing who someone is.

I also find kanye quite funny, but the one video of him telling a parasite to fuck off irked me a little. Not because he was rude to some drone photographer, but because people gave him shit for it. If there was some weirdo lurking outside your house in his car with a camera trying to get candid photos of you, It's hardly unreasonable to tell them to fuck off.

Both overrated

The fans, I don't care about. Everyone has their autistic fanbase.

But Kanye has made very fucking idiotic statements, so whatever ridicule is brought up against him is well-earned. <_<
