About r/Kanye
In its own words:
A community dedicated to Ye.
Community guide

What belongs
Kanye-related posts (about 52 posts/day). Rules: respect others; no upvote begging; no illegal copyright distribution; no targeted harassment; no selling/self-promo; must be Kanye-related.
Versus general music celebrity rooms

Practical pointers
Stay on Ye; skip leaks of copyrighted files and harassment.
