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.

4 Strategies for practicing Radical Self-Acceptance

Radical Self-Acceptance Painting by Jennifer Mazzucco #mindfulness #self-judgment #RadicalSelfAcceptance #negativethinkingpatterns #thoughts Radical acceptance involves acknowledging how life unfolds without resistance, even if we don't like things at any given moment. It can take effort to apply this principle. How can we begin to accept our situation and ourselves despite experiencing anxiety, uncertainty, and fear? Why self-acceptance is not the same as complacency. It is essential now, more than ever, to practice radical self-acceptance. This means training ourselves to find inner stability despite unpredictable external circumstances. Ultimately, we are responsible for acknowledging our hidden wounds, which can lead to personal and collective growth. Radical self-acceptance is the opposite of avoiding responsibility or giving up in self-defeat. It requires pushing against old ways of being to open the door to deep healing. Embracing radical self-acceptance allows us to int...

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

Filling A Plus-Size Fashion Void On ‘Shrill’

#Shrill #AidyBryant #Hulu #SNL Aidy Bryant obviously isn’t the same person as Annie, the character she plays on “Shrill,” but the two have at least one thing in common: enviable fashion sense. On the Hulu show, aspiring writer Annie dons cute dresses with eye-catching patterns or buttoned-up collared shirts as she handles the blows of life in Portland, Oregon. It’s a kind of easy, feminine style that’s not a far cry from the vibe seen on “ Saturday Night Live ” star Bryant’s Instagram or in her red carpet choices . “Originally, I was just like, ‘Oh my God, she, just in her own life, has such great fashion,’” said “Shrill” costume designer Amanda Needham of Bryant. She described finding Annie’s style as a “collaboration” with the actress, mixing Bryant’s IRL look with “cool girl, Portland, poppy colors, really exciting moments.” But there was one problem: A lot of the looks that Needham had in mind didn’t exist. At least, not in Bryant’s size. For a...
