>Is there anything you’re bad at? “To be honest, no. Probably just people. People don’t like to be studied, or bested.” He shrugged. “I’m fine with it. I don’t really like people that much. People accept me now because I have power, but they still think, Oh, he thinks he’s the golden flower of the black community, thinks he’s so different.” He laughed. “But I am, though! I feel like Jesus. I do feel chosen. My struggle is to use my humanity to create a classic work—but I don’t know if humanity is worth it, or if we’re going to make it. I don’t know if there’s much time left.”
>As Legend bustled over to show me the giraffe, Glover said that he thinks of reality as a program and his talent as hacking the code: “I learn fast—I figured out the algorithm.” Grasping the machine’s logic had risks. “When people become depressed and kill themselves, it’s because all they see is the algorithm, the loop,” he said. But it was also exhilarating. When he was ten, he said, “I realized, if I want to be good at P.E., I have to be good at basketball. So I went home and shot baskets in our driveway for six hours, until my mother called me in. The next day, I was good enough that you wouldn’t notice I was bad. And I realized my superpower.” During a lunch break on set one day, in the gym of a Baptist church, I had watched Glover play 21 against five crew members. He made three long jumpers, then began charging the lane to launch Steph Curry-style runners—stylish, ineffective forays facilitated by the crew’s reluctance to play tough D. “It sounds like I’m sucking my own dick—‘Oh, he thinks he’s great at everything,’ ” he said now, leaning forward. “But what if you had that power?”
>He picked up a rock from the fire pit, then dropped it. “It’s hot! I didn’t know it was the same rock.” Looking at his singed fingers, he said, “Chris Rock told me, ‘Man, they wouldn’t have let me make your show back in the day.’ I’m a little better than Chris, because I had Chris to study.
honestly theres a lot to unpack here but yes he's right

What an ugly faggot
Parker Price
he was pretty rad as the retard in community

Ugly and faggot is a strange combination.

Carter Gutierrez
why do you keep making this thread
Justin Taylor
I don't get it. He's not a good actor. He's an awful rapper. He's not as woke as he thinks he is. He doesn't represent the black community because he was basically raised white. His biggest accomplishment was being the retard on a TV show that sucked after two seasons. Why does he think himself so special? It's like he's roleplaying as Kanye without any of the accolades.
Lincoln Campbell
It amazes me that this is a real. This is on par with that copy pasta about goose in the super market.
Nicholas Phillips
i honestly thought this was pasta until just now what in the heck
he's just saying out loud what 99% of successful people think of themselves. usually even rappers and actors don't actually jerk themselves off this openly but the power of yes-men yes-women and yes-trannies knows no bounds in hollywood
Josiah Perez
Because your celebrity crush is a moron without any self-awareness and people need to be reminded of that

>He picked up a rock from the fire pit, then dropped it. “It’s hot! I didn’t know it was the same rock.” This will always be extremely funny to me. It's like a skit.

Kayden Garcia
Slim but thick-chested and broad-shouldered, Glover has the rolling, slew-footed walk of a riverboat captain. In a group, he laughs as often as he makes others laugh, a trait rare among the occupationally funny. Acquaintances love to proclaim how warm or chill or dope he is, but none of that is exactly right, or exactly right for long. He answers the phone warily, as if it were always 3 a.m., as if he were on guard against his own immense likableness. He is attracted to people who don’t seem to want his approval, but, increasingly, everyone does. Yikes

>a celebrity is a pseud obnoxious narcissist Shocker!
Luke Ross
for me its Terrence Howard still mad about Cheadle stealing his WarMachine role
I think we're reaching a critical point where people with common sense are so thinned out, idiots may live their entire lives without encountering one, resulting in the most charismatic/insanse one believing they are geniuses.
Case in point: Their grotesque lack of humility would have vanished if they had met one non-idiot at some point in their lives.
>This mediocre midwit wants to be another mediocre midwit

Kanye is an amazing producer, and made some of the best beats in all of hip hop. His only flaw is that he tries expand his scope, ultimately losing sight at the one skill he's undeniably the best at.
Henry Wood
I tried to tell all of you. I liked this motherfucker when he wasnt famous. As soon as he got famous he showed how faggoty he really is. Just like Dan Harmon - they can produce something you might enjoy temporarily but getting over who they are as people is almost impossible. I'll watch a Woody Allen movie but I can't watch Dan Harmon or Glover any more.
Reminder Glover thinks black people hate him because he isn't black enough and white people hate him because he's too nigger like. That is the calling card of a racist black kid.
William Sullivan
>but I don’t know if humanity is worth it, or if we’re going to make it. I don’t know if there’s much time left.” black people really are fucking dangerous.
>“It sounds like I’m sucking my own dick—‘Oh, he thinks he’s great at everything,’ ” he said now, leaning forward. “But what if you had that power?” I read this years ago and it still feels like it's satire.
Chase Richardson
because he's a faggot who deserves mockery?
Lucas Gutierrez
>but yes he's right He's an industry plant given a place at the table purely due to the colour of his skin. Almost nothing of what he says is right; his megalomania is drug induced.
Owen Hall
In summary: "I'm a sociopath"
Michael Anderson
Kanye might very well be a genius. The level that he triggers the black community AND the liberal white community is something to be admired. Reminder if this nigger never married a Kardashian he would have more clout than Jay Z. He probably already does even with his retard wife. Honestly looking back on it I'd pick Kim too over fucking Beyonce.
It sounds like he's saying you only have to put in a modicum of work to look like you're not tragically bad at something. The basketball story the Journalist tells makes it seem like he's saying if you get cerebral with people you can get by.
Daniel Richardson
>“It sounds like I’m sucking my own dick—‘Oh, he thinks he’s great at everything,’ ” he said now, leaning forward. “But what if you had that power?” It's called practicing you sociopath
>Kanye is an amazing producer He's average at best. Another industry plant high off their own manufactured success.
Jose Thompson
No. Read it again. Your reading comprehension is not the best. Glover really does think he's amazing at whatever he does and has cracked the code in a way no-one else has. He then proceeds to pick up a hot rock and burn himself because he's actually retarded. Again, it's highly likely this ego of his is drug induced; it's not just a case of being surrounded by yes-men. That whole "I am bigger than Jesus" thing is very druggy.
Ryan Smith
>he's average at best That's like saying your straight A kid is average for middle school. No one cares. If you get so triggered about Kanye you're either an angry brown kid or a white wigger. Either way the only reason we like Kanye is because he is a maniac that at least tries to make different music. He's a lot more likeable than any of the niggers you might list as being better producers. No one normal gives a fuck about black artists or "hip hop" m8. Why do you think we push for Kanye so much? because we don't respect your artistic medium and for good reason - there is no one more exclusive and egotistical than a black rapper. Fuck all of them.
