Darned cockwombles.
That interview is epic. Does Kanye often compare himself to McQueen and Picasso (or whatever it was) and a five year-old?
I'm really drawn to Kanye's nonsense rants. Something so real about this guy that he will say shit that no-one else would dare come out with,
just the most beautiful stream of consciousness type shit like an unguarded child he speaks the absolute truth without thought of repurcussion

yeah 'all of the lights' also makes me think of a multi-millionaire version of ruff sqwad - epic drama + synth-brass.

I can't stand 'All Of The Lights' really. Multiple levels of annoyance.
Majority of the album is good/great for me. I like how he's gotten out of this cotton candy pop/hip-hop thing and after pulling 808s out, is now trying to marry that to rap. It's not THAT experimental, but it's enough that it can shake off the truly abysmal vibes he was making around 'Graduation'.
And I daresay he's the only Rapper/Producer who can say things that are interesting. Save Wiley.

its hella catchy this new kanye album. I'm quite partial to a grand folly now and then and this album certainly fits the bill.
I like Kanye because he's clearly engaged in a search for deeper meaning but he's stuck with the unfortunate disadvantage that nothing about his life corresponds in the slightest to the reality experienced by normal people. This is a man who has had two consecutive US Presidents comment publicly on his behaviour.
hes gradually lost touch with whatever grip on reality he had though, as with the first album that was his whole shtick, being caught up between being just an everyday guy and moving in millionaire circles and all the materialistic/fame temptations he was trying to resist. now, or since graduation, hes stopped resisting them and has just bought into it more or less completely, just with occasional glimmers of normality here and there. i like kanye the pop star though. im prob one of the few people that would like him to do another 808s type album.

808 was and still is my favorite album just for the fact that he came off as honest as is possible for kanye. Tbh i dont even really think about the auto tune.
It seems unlikely though that with all the warhol and mj name dropping, he really did create an album that most of the critics would agree is some serious pop art. There is something special about him il say that...
