Kanye West Leaps onto the McFly 2015 Project with ‘Graduation’

Hot off his last eye-popper, Kanye’s making yet another political statement with the art on his third album, Graduation.

Created by Murakami (best known for his cavity-sweet Louis Vuitton line), the cover features Kanye’s mascot flying fast in a pair of legendary McFlys. For a pair of shoes that never actually existed in the mainstream, the McFlys are making a runaway comeback like nobody’s business – activists and all.

A glance over the comments section of Rumors Daily betrays mixed feelings about the album art. Generally speaking, we love Kanye and the McFlys. But others, like Malik, call this a “horrible drawing” that makes the beloved shoes look like “some K Swiss shit.”

Not to hate on Murakami or Kanye, but they kind of do.

The real reason boomer women who raised children, worked full-time, and cared for aging parents without complaining now struggle to accept help isn’t pride — it’s that their entire sense of worth was built around being the person who could handle everything, and slowing down feels like becoming irrelevant

Psychology says people who truly know their worth don’t announce it or defend it — they operate with a quiet certainty that makes negotiation, justification, and proving themselves feel like a language they no longer speak

I lost two friendships in the same year because I kept centering every conversation on my relationship problems — not because I was asking for help, but because complaining about my partner had become my entire personality and I didn’t even notice
