Part 7/11:
Media coverage often fixates on Kanye’s controversial statements, but there’s a layered cultural critique here as well. For example, headlines primarily focus on his blasphemous references or his comparisons to figures like R. Kelly and Bill Cosby, rather than recognizing the larger artistic or ideological statements he might be making.
Interestingly, the media’s fixation extends to his references to pop icons like Taylor Swift. When Kanye mentions Swift in the lyrics, headlines question whether he's blaspheming against Jesus or simply making a cultural jab, illustrating how celebrity worship distorts the perception of artistic intent.
