One of my students told me a little while ago that his girlfriend dropped a "eucalyptus" pill into his shower so that its "fumes" could help him with his cold.

when you have to stop in the middle of song to announce "we got good music in the house" it is not really a good sign imho

oh damn I'm pretty slow. yeah I guess that makes it... a little better.
as for the song: I mean the beat's... not intolerable... but hardly great either. still haven't heard anything to dispel my suspicions that this whole thing is on some self-indulgent coked-out-rockstar bullshit (astonishing new heights of egomania, 6-minute-long trainwrecks, keyboard solos)

like his news-cycle moments tend to annoy me but once he's expressing that shit musically it tends to get the damn job done

he really should not be rapping at this point -- feel like he should just be doing 'concepts' and productions & picking random collaborators
― truly blunted rhyme fiend (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
or he should get rhymefest to ghostwrite again
yeah, that's fairly otm

I dunno y'all I just don't find the songs compelling (or even listenable) -- it's like he's writing for an imaginary audience that has approximately zero overlap with anything people in the real world enjoy about music

i feel the same way except trust me there are millions upon millions of people who either worship everything Kanye does and treat every new song like an unprecedented masterpiece or are just so into the whole aesthetic he's been building the last few years that this stuff really does sound amazing to them. funny thing is my favorite album of his is Late Registration, which some people disliked for the same reasons (bloated, overproduced, random, etc.), but to me Kanye was rapping as well as he ever has on that album and was still writing songs about actual topics instead of just grandstanding/pop culture reference/pun Kanye mad libs.

but i guess it must be true. i always forget that i really liked 808s
i wish any of these good friday leaks were even BAD enough to be interesting - when kanye's actual output is just boringly adequate it makes it a lot harder to care about what crazy thing he's done on twitter today
also people need to stop retweeting him! seriously!

but yeah i don't know if you guys are seriously doubting me or what, but trust me, Kanye's fanbase is HUGE right now, probably bigger than it's ever been

I admit that I doubt that, I feel like its been on a bit of a decline lately. The amount of media oversaturation has gone way up, but I feel like I know quite a few people that used to love that have jumped off the crazy train.

Goddamnit Kanye, I just might have to unfollow you after today's ego stroking. I want to read the crazy shit that leaks out of your brain, not a bajillion retweets of people quoting your lines.
