Did Kanye West attend West Aurora High School? Columnist Denise Crosby investigates the rumors.

You may or may not have heard the rumors. They’ve been circulating for at least five years now. That music superstar Kanye West at one point in his young life attended school in the West Auro…

So someone on Reddit generated some Yeezy collection designs. Pretty cool. Really feelin the last one..

IUIC Founder interviewed on Comedy Hype about why they were outside Barclays, and their general position.

What he teaches is a lie though.

Saying that Native Americans are semitic is stretching the definition of the word beyond what's observable.





The truth is that at some point or another, you'll find claims of ethnic links to Israel/Hebrews/lost tribes from people on every continent that have been proven wrong:

Is there a version of this article I can read that doesn’t require a subscription? I really, really want to send this to a friend of mine from Chicago. I once questioned Kanye’s toughness and this person swore up and down Kanye had to be tough because he’s from Chicago. I never caught that vibe from him at all.

So tomdiginson gets flack for using a social media platform to support an argument but gry60 can use Reddit as a source and be taken serious?

If ever you find yourself agreeing with Jason Whitlock, it might be time to reassess things. Such a bozo take. He doesn’t care what religion they practice (which conveniently ignores their very vocal antisemitism) and is just glad some men showed up? I guess he doesn’t realize they only showed up because of his tweet. Where were they at when Kyrie was getting clowned (and barred from playing) for his anti-vax stance?

Also, imagine being in the media and complaining about tHe MeDiA. You really can’t make it up.

Imagine believing any of the Abrahamic religions are factual.

I live in Chicago right now, and being from here should in no way automatically prove how tough someone is. A lot of people here are extremely sheltered/naive who think the world=the North side of Chicago, or they’re just normal people who live in dangerous neighborhoods out of financial necessity/segregation.

What's very interesting about watching him operate, from the outside, is the amount of new "friends" he seems to make to fit whatever mood he's in. I don't recall him having any old childhood friends around, really ever.

The not being Chicago narrative is interesting. I don't think it adds or takes away from the conversation about him at all since I don't see the benefit of claiming Chicago. He stated he was from Chicago when Chicago wasn't even popular music wise. The only benefit I could possible make out is not being expected to make ATL sounding snap music that was starting to get popular when he came out. I'm going to try to find the Holcomb podcast where he makes mention of it.

Regardless, growing up in a rough neighborhood does not always equal tough, street smart. In my opinion, that's not an accurate measuring stick of if someone is really from that area.

Corey Holcomb

The former Last Comic Standing contestant and host of the 5150 Show on Sirius sits down with the Champs to discuss Patrice O'Neal, Michelle Obama, cheating, and who is actually from Chicago.

Appreciate the link to the podcast.

I had another comment based on this but I think it would be best boiled down to this; even if it's found he's not from Chicago proper and we have another 21 Savage situation, what does it change?

He will always be linked to South Side regardless if it's true or not.

You think it’s cool to be tough and/or to have been outside when it was “really real?”

That just sounds sad…

I honestly dont care where he's from



what this changes?
to me, I hope that it makes people realize we are dealing with a chameleon
we dont know where he came from or what is true or not with him


he's an agent of chaos
sent by who? dont know


but be careful with this person and when you find yourself getting emotional about what he does/says
just remember its coming from a person that could very well be a plant/the ops


stay aware and doubt everything
dont just take his/their word for it


mainstream = the matrix/the system
theres levers that can be pulled
and keys to locks in that world that we just cant wrap our heads around
he's operating under some dark ****


if I dont know where youre from/simple questions cant even be answered
I cant trust you


thats all

Thanks for the clarification.
I took your initial comment as gate keeping for toughness, now I see you meant it as we can't take him as an authentic presence. I think that's a valid conversation to be had.

We could say that we can’t take a lot of rappers as an “authentic presence” , hop over to the hip hop thread in music and it’s a constant debate.

It’s like people pick and choose who they want to hold to this “authentic” standard.

I completely agree with you but I don't think individuals selective standard should take away from having a discussion about it.

It's a complex debate since consumers of music have just as much fault as record companies, artist, etc.

wait what is the debate?
