Andrew Schulz Unpacks Kanye West’s Controversy With A Bold Perspective

HonkMagazine

Kanye West is known for stirring up controversy, and his recent actions have taken things to a new level of shock. The Chicago rapper, famous for breaking boundaries in music and society, has once again caught the public’s attention for some alarming behavior. From expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler to calling for Diddy’s release and even selling merchandise featuring swastikas, Kanye’s latest moves have sparked a huge debate. While many people have quickly criticized him, there’s also been a growing conversation about his mental health. Kanye has openly talked about having bipolar disorder, which some believe could explain his unpredictable actions.

However, during a recent episode of Shannon Sharpe’s podcast Club Shay Shay, comedian Andrew Schulz offered a different perspective, not focused on mental health, but on a rebellious spirit. Schulz, known for his bold opinions, suggested that Kanye’s behavior comes from a natural tendency to do the opposite of what people tell him not to do. He explained, “If society says ‘don’t do this,’ Kanye will do it just to show he can.” Instead of linking Kanye’s actions to a mental health episode or outside influences, Schulz views them as a deliberate challenge to societal norms.

This viewpoint raises an important question: is Kanye’s rebellion a form of creativity, or is it leading him down a path of self-destruction? While some people believe we can’t ignore the role of mental health, Schulz’s idea offers another way to think about Kanye’s choices. It doesn’t excuse his actions but fits with Kanye’s long history of pushing against authority and expectations. Regardless of whether Schulz’s theory is valid, Kanye West will remain a controversial figure, and the conversation about what drives him will continue. As long as he embraces chaos, the world will watch, react, and try to understand what it all means.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
