Kanye West Sparks Outrage Again With Hitler Birthday Tribute
Fashion mogul Kanye West chose Easter Sunday, a holy day for millions to mark Adolf Hitler’s birthday, a decision that left fans, critics, and even ex-admirers rendered speechless. West made the post out of X (formerly Twitter) and captured the date shared by Easter and Hitler’s birthday. But he didn’t stop there. In a tone-deaf follow-up, he asked how “Jewish” people could have sovereignty over Hitler’s legacy by writing, “how can Jewish people define Hitler to be the anti christ when they are not Christian themselves.” It’s a comment that is both historically nonsensical and deeply antisemitic, part of a worrying trend of bombast from the artist in recent years.
But for anyone still hoping for redemption or clarity, this moment represents another milepost in West’s descent into straightforward hate speech. This year, he helped fund a high-profile Super Bowl commercial for his Yeezy brand, only to offer a line of t-shirts decorated with swastikas. That decision resulted in Shopify shutting down his site for what it cited as violations of platform policies and a failure to institute “authentic commerce practices.” No longer the instigator, the artist, the trailblazer in music and fashion, West appears intent on using his model to prompt outrage in the most provocative manners imaginable. His recent actions offend and put at risk communities already threatened by hate-driven violence.

There’s an urgent debate going on about how responsible artists are when they signal-boost hate. Where once Kanye used his voice as a challenge to convention, a gatecrasher’s invitation to claim whatever ground he saw as a space where shutting up is easy and real deviation occurs within music, now this feels less like rebellion and more like cheerful cavorting with demons for the sake of getting noticed. And for the million or so fans who came of age with Graduation, 808s & Heartbreaand My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, this era is nothing less than heartbreaking.

Phlo-osophy shares a new single, “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)”
Phlo-osophy’s “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” is a thoughtful and relaxing meditation on intellect and existence, packaged with laid-back production that encourages both thought and comfort. The song starts with atmospheric synths and a low-key beat, creating a space that is the laboratory of contemplation.
Phlo-osophy’s lyrical style steers into tough concepts spontaneous physics of thought, the chemistry of emotion — and yet remains highly accessible. The production is the strength of the production: soft, warm textures, synth pads, muted guitar echoes, quiet electronic pulses, cohere into a hushed, private atmosphere.
The result is a song that teeters between heady curiosity and soulful expression. It’s not out to swamp us with complexity, but to suggest a room in which mind and emotion can cohabitate thoughtfully. “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” serves as a signal of Phlo-osophy’s approach as an enlightening artist who writes not only with heart, but with mind and who welcomes the listener on its journey of self-discovery.
