Spotify, SoundCloud and other platforms have pulled the song, but its spread underscores the challenges tech platforms face in removing content that violate their policies.

Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.

On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.

While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.

Honest question: would this dude fall into an oppressed group that Nazis would target? Seriously. He is not White, German, blue eyed and blonde. Am I missing something other than a likely mental health problem that is causing this dude to write and record such music?

I'll break it down for you:

He can't have his kids because he doesn't take his medicine, so he tries to get his kids back by becoming a Nazi. Background singers say N***** Heil Hitler for the chorus and then Hitler is saying shit in German at the end. It's pretty bad, has no logic, but does have rhyming words.

If you want to watch it to see how truly shitty it is, here is a nitter link from probably a sketch person. It's not giving traffic to them because it's nitter, not X: https://nitter.net/jakeshieldsajj/status/1920322039056838970#m

Edit: They're scrubbing the internet of this one, I can't even get it to show up on archive. https://archive.is/urjlq

Kim had to put her foot down, and started fighting him on custody back in like March, when she found out from North that Ye was bringing the Tate brothers over to hang out with her. I think it was the first time I've ever sided with a Kardashian on anything!

You're right and I think I know way to much about that family right now. Putting his 11 year old daughter in a video with Diddy too. Source is questionable, but it's quoting other sources.

Kanye and Kim are locked "in a war" after their eldest daughter, North West, featured on a controversial new song with embattled music mogul P Diddy.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Kanye wrote over a series of posts, ranting: "Yes I have beef with people that froze my account, took my kids away and have tried to put me in jail and IT'S STUCK ...

X has become such a shithole that they guy under it asks why someone would ever post a song from a black artist. And of course he doesn't say "black".

I'm wondering how long it took to round up enough backup people to chant heil hitler

What the hell happened to him?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

he stopped taking his BP meds, after his mom died. Kim divorced him over his disorder.
