Kanye discussions outside of hip-hop fan communities are always a lightning rod for uninformed opinions...
I hate some of Kanye's viewpoints and antics - I've felt pretty frustrated and almost betrayed hearing his comments about Trump and Bill Cosby, and all the sexist banter in many of his songs annoys me. But I can't say that I don't relate to the dude, or feel inspired by his work. He has synesthesia, he was put in a behavior class with dyslexic kids in high school, he dropped out of college, he catches flak for being too blunt and brash in public. His album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was the first hip-hop album I got into as someone who grew up more with classic rock and indie rock - nowadays hip-hop is one of my favorite genres.
And he can sing well without auto-tune when he chooses to - songs like "Runaway" and "Ghost Town" illustrate that. I think he uses auto-tune and vocoders to achieve a futuristic/sci-fi effect, and not just to cover up deficiencies in his singing voice. That being said, I do "miss the old Kanye" - "George Bush doesn't care about black people!" was a way better look than "slavery is a choice"...

Exactly, I love his music. He's one of the greatest of his generation, but I hate the way he acts outside of his music. The "George Bush doesn't care about black people" thing is way better than "Slavery is a choice," which is repulsive and ignorant, but some say that both those comments were a result of his Bipolar.

I think you mean to say "those comments were a result of his bipolar disorder" or "those comments were a result of his being bipolar." Bipolar is not a noun, and it really bothers me when people use it like one. It's so jarring. It can't be that hard to get this right, I don't understand why so many people struggle with using this particular descriptor correctly.
I mean, you wouldn't say that my pedantic response to your comment was a "result of my autistic", would you? Because that would be equally grammatically incorrect and awkward sounding as "his bipolar". It's definitely a result of me being autistic, however.

I think you need to take a chill pill. I don't struggle with this concept. I know I'm using incorrect grammar because this is an internet forum and not a doctoral dissertation. Don't worry it's ok for you to end a sentence with a preposition on here lol

In my opinion, the old Kanye came back. Music wise though. But I do like his republican point of view, I'd honestly rather have him be conservative than liberal.

How did the old Kanye come back? His music has a completely different sound. My favorite album of his is graduation. It doesn't sound like that or any of the earlier albums. The album from old Kanye that ye and kids see ghosts are closest to would be my beautiful dark twisted fantasy and even that is way better than his recent work and is pretty different.
