Nick Cave, however, condemned controversial statements made by Kanye West
Nick Cave He returned to give his opinion on the music of Kanye West.
Answering a fan on your blog The Red Hand Filesthe singer published, in late January, his wish for his own funeral. “Oh, and Damian, please, ‘i am a God’ Kanye West”He said about the song that wants to be played at the ceremony.
Cave made the statement a few days after participating in the BBC Radio 4 radio program Desert Island Discswhere he stated that the same track is one of his eight favorites.
“This song, curiously, has become a kind of family song. My children love it, Susie Loves, I love it. It is an extremely playful, extremely dark and complex song, where, on the one hand, Kanye presents himself as a god and, in the end, is screaming of terror, ”he argued.
In another blog post, the artist had already confessed his admiration for West.
“Making art is a form of madness – we dive deeply into our own singular view and get lost in it. There is no musician on earth as committed to his own insanity as Kanye And in this sense, at this point, he is our greatest artist, ”he wrote in 2020.
In the first week of February this year, however, the rapper made a series of Twitter publications attacking Jews, reiterating that he has no friends and even declaring himself Nazi. So, fan asked Cave: “How can you hear this song without seeing the human being in which Kanye became? “
Nick Cavethen, clarified in a new publication on his blog: “Numerous letters arrived expressly expressing the disapproval of my admiration for the music of Kanye West. A long time and energy were spent explaining the wickedness of Nazism, the damage of anti -Semitism, because it is wrong to sell suastic printed t -shirts and why it is unacceptable to coerce the girlfriend to get naked on the red carpet of Grammy. On this subject, it seems that we can all find a point in common. I agree.”
“The idea of separating an artist from his art is absurd. The artist and his work are fundamentally intertwined, because art is the essence of the manifest artist. […] However, the great gift of art is the possibility of the artist digging his inner chaos and turning it into something sublime. This is what Kanye he does. This is what I effort to do. And this is the mission of all true artists. The remarkable utility of art lies in its audacity to transfigure our corrupted state and create something beautiful, “he continued.
The artist still pondered:
For the most odious and disappointing ones that are many of the opinions of Kanyeand as disgusting as anti-Semitism-in its forms always present and in constant mutation-effort to seek beauty wherever it manifests itself. In doing so, he is hesitant to invalidate the best in us in an attempt to punish the worst. I don’t think we can afford this luxury.
