HOT TAKES Episode 4 - Bruce Springsteen Sucks and Kanye is a PROPHET

Musicians: Take Note!

Ayyy get your hot takes right here! We're back for episode 4 baby. Alex came by to share his music opinions after doing a full regular episode, and boy were his takes STEAMING hot.

We will start off with a simple one: after years of constant inundation by the fine people of New Jersey, Alex has had enough of Bruce Springsteen. Equating him to a JAG (just a guy) who managed to impress enough of his bar-patron entourage to kickstart a music career, Bruce is now one of the biggest names in music....and Alex argues that his success is unearned.

On a slightly more provocative note: Alex also argues that Kanye, one of the most controversial figures in popular music, actually has important messages to share with the world. Without denying that Kanye has also gone off the rails on several occasions, Alex argues that these missteps are not reason enough to ignore the hip hop sensation, claiming that Kanye often speaks inconvenient truths that no one else is willing to share in fear of backlash.

Do you agree with Alex? Is Kanye a voice for the people who, for all of his faults, is on a mission to speak the truth? Or is he simply a troubled soul who really needs less social media interaction and more time with a psychiatrist? As a side note: I do take mental health quite seriously, and I do not want to make light of someone's situation as it relates to mental illness. When I suggest that he should seek professional health I am not joking.

Alex is currently working on new music, but we are keeping the details a bit secretive at this time. For now, check out his Instagram @condi543 where he has a plethora of guitar-related videos.
