This is for the folks still stanning in the good year of our lord 2019. First off, let’s be clear. Kanye West isn’t a legitimate musician, fine artist, or fashion designer, obviously. He can’t play any instruments and he reportedly has little to no knowledge of music theory. That’s obvious enough and unarguable. It’s not necessarily essential to be or have any of these things to make good music, but I digress. Is Kanye really responsible for what actually makes his music good, though? Even on College Dropout there are legions of writing and production credits listed. Rhymefest supposedly wrote the vast majority of Jesus Walks, Kanye openly admitted Pardison Fontaine wrote almost all of Violent Crimes, literally his most personal song to date, apart from two lines. Mike Dean is pictured assisting Kanye as early as the CD sessions, and he’s often credited as a writer and producer even on tracks where Kanye supposedly produced and wrote the track himself. And that’s not even considering potential ghostwriting/producing. You’ve heard the rumors and conjecture on this site and abroad, 808’s being primarily the brainchild of Kid Cudi and Mr. Hudson, Rhymefest writing the best Ye verse on MBDTF (Gorgeous), Travis Scott supposedly ghostwriting most of Yeezus, etc etc etc. A lot of this rumor, some of it is factual and clearly credited, and some of it is even admitted and supported by the players involved.
So the question is, how do you really consider Kanye? Me? I think he’s a great curator with great taste. Not just an “ideas guy” a la Steve Jobs, but like a literal art curator. But nothing more than this, really. The greatest moments on his records can almost never be claimed by him or him alone; DIAND beat (S1) or Mike Dean’s two guitar solos on Fantasy and Yeezus for example, and many of them are just samples, so were never his or any of his team’s victories to begin with. The reality of the situation is that this dude is a popstar. A charismatic, manic depressive narcissist that screamed at the sky that he was the best, and the r*****ed public at large believed him. I get it though, you might of the mindset that it’s the collaboration and the music that ensues that matters most, yeah, yeah I get it. Same tired arguments. No problem with that. But the guy’s no genius. Try Stevie or Prince or so many others sung and unsung if you want to hear true black excellence in music.
I’ll be back to edit this, but these are just raw thoughts after hearing the album. Peace to y’all. Find the mogul and spark within yourselves, stop looking to literal hacks pushed by the (((powers that be))) or to live vicariously through another man’s success.
Disclaimer: I like JIK
whoever thinks this is a r*****
use this gospel is like 5 different ideas forced together. song couldve been great, smh.
c'mon ye couldn't get arsed about releasing a full length LP on time for 13 months, no way he's releasing another album in 2.
he always does s*** now, announced turbografx right after tlop, never released. announced yandhi right after ye, never released. stop falling for it.
Like TLOP & ye, the imperfections somewhat add to the album. (in a good way)
I think you’re right but at the same time, when we have to say that about 3 albums in a row it’s a little questionable. I’m happy that this is more cohesive than TLOP and ye and the lyrical content is different but at this point it’s feeling less like he’s making intentionally raw s*** and more like he isn’t capable of making something as perfect and polished as his first 5 albums
I thought I was gonna hate it because of how good the leak was lol
I was skeptical too, glad it turned out so dope
