Kanye West Proves He Might Be the Most Narcissistic Rapper in the Industry


#KanyeWest  #Narcissism  #KimKardashian #Religion
Kanye West was once thought of as a musical visionary. While some believe he is still a genius, these days, West supporters are becoming few and far between.
West’s new journey as a religious leader has earned a lot of criticism, from those who believe that he is not qualified to speak for the religious community. Of course, there is also the issue of West’s undeniable narcissism.
Keep reading to learn how West could possibly be the most narcissistic artist in the music business and why people could soon stop paying attention to him.

Kanye West has a history of narcissism

West rose to fame in the early 2000s, with his breakout album The College Dropout. West’s catchy rhymes and innovative rap beats endeared him to the musical community and it definitely seemed as though he had a bright future ahead of him.
West has pioneered the way for many other rappers in the industry, and combined with his business ventures, including his fashion label Yeezy, he has become a global superstar. Still, West has had a long history of problematic behavior, including what seems to be a very overblown opinion of himself.
Over the years, he has compared his music as a “cure for cancer” and called himself “the new Kurt Cobain” and “the number one human being in music.” He also believes that he is the “most impactful artist of our generation,” which is certainly a stretch of the imagination. While some fans undoubtedly agree, and he has definitely made a cultural impact, all of these are strong statements that are hard to accept.

What are Kanye West’s mental health problems?




It is possible that some of West’s self-love can be attributed to his mental issues. In 2016, West was hospitalized for an unspecified mental disorder, and in the years since, fans have learned a bit more about the battle taking place in the rapper’s head.
In 2018, West revealed that he wasn’t officially diagnosed with a mental disorder until he was 39 years old, but that he refuses to think of his condition as a disability. In fact, West calls his diagnosis a “superpower.” 
West’s bipolar disorder has caused a lot of grey area among the fan base, with some people believing that some of the more outrageous things that West says can be traced to his mental condition. Others believe that he shouldn’t get a pass for some of his more controversial statements — such as the infamous “slavery is a choice” quote that divided his fan base — regardless of what his medical status is. 

What did Kanye West say recently about himself?







The Kanye West train keeps rolling, in spite of what everyone has to say. This year, West has embarked on a new chapter, that of a religious leader.
His Sunday Service performances, combined with his new gospel album, Jesus Is King, have many people convinced that West is going to start a church. Certainly, his recent statements haven’t helped to clear any of the confusion up.
In mid-November, West visited pastor Joel Osteen’s megachurch in Houston, Texas, where he opened up about his spiritual journey and why he decided to turn his attention to gospel music. Of course, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to give himself a hearty pat on the back at the same time. In his speech, West said: “Jesus has won the victory. I told you about my arrogance and cockiness already. Now the greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for him.” 
While West is still rolling along currently, there could very well come a time in the near future when people are finally sick of Kanye West.

Are we really listening to what MLK had to say?

#MartinLutherKingJr #MLK #CivilRights #DrKing In 2020, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday falls in a national election year, one that reminds us of the importance of voting rights, citizenship and political activism to the health of our democracy. King imagined America as a "beloved community" capable of defeating what he characterized as the triple threats of racism, militarism and materialism. The passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, alongside the 1954 Brown Supreme Court decision, represents the crown jewels of the civil rights movement's heroic period. Yet King quickly realized that policy transformations alone, including the right to vote, would be insufficient in realizing his goal of institutionalizing radical black citizenship toward the creation of the "beloved community." King argued that justice was what love looked like in public. 2020 also marks the 55th anniversary of the passage of the Voting...

Coping With Moods: The Challenge of the Turbulent Mind

#Mood #Impulses #selfregulate #selfsoothe  #Triple5LightTherapy #BlackMaleTherapist #Psychotherapy The power of moods and impulses can be overwhelming, but we can learn to self-regulate and self-soothe through awareness practices like meditation and mindfulness. By developing a healthy dialogue with our emotional nature, we can access deeper parts of ourselves and become more resilient in the face of stress and pressure. Rather than being swept away by our ever-shifting moods, we can learn to pause and reflect before acting. by Gillian McCann, Ph.D., and Gitte Bechsgaard, RP

Daylight saving time begins soon: when do we change the clocks?

#Daylightsavingtime #March8 Since the winter solstice on Dec. 21, 2019, the nights have been getting shorter, and the days are longer. So, when do we change the clocks? Daylight saving time (often erroneously said as daylight savings time) begins Sunday, March 8, 2020. via GIPHY That Sunday, the clocks will spring forward, causing areas that practice daylight saving time to lose an hour (don't worry, the hour is gained back in the fall). When the clock strikes 2 a.m., the time will change to be 3 a.m. via GIPHY Most of the United States practices daylight saving time,  much to the disdain of lawmakers including  Lancaster County Sen. Scott Martin (R-Martic Township). Arizona is the only state that refrains from practicing daylight saving due to the summertime heat. The residents of Arizona prefer their cooler nights as a break from the harsh temperatures,  according to the National Geographic. The amount of sunlight ...

A call for equality and freedom, it became one of the defining moments of the civil rights movement

       #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #IHaveaDream I Have a Dream, speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., that was delivered on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington. A call for equality and freedom, it became one of the defining moments of the civil rights movement and one of the most iconic speeches in American history. Some 250,000 people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., for the March on Washington. The one-day event both protested racial discrimination and encouraged the passage of civil rights legislation; at the time, the Civil Rights Act was being discussed in Congress. The march featured various speeches as well as musical performances before King, a celebrated orator, appeared as the final official speaker; A. Philip Randolph and Benjamin Mays ended the proceedings with a pledge and a benediction, respectively. Early in his prepared speech, King referenced Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address with “Five score years ago….” He then spoke a...
