Just because it was entertaining at the time (and not all entertainment is good entertainment) doesn’t mean it will age well, and most haven’t. It might be enticing news to keep up with but it’s nothing to look back on as a respectable move.

Every time I hear some Ye drama now, that “everybody gon say something, I’d be worried if they say nothing” line rings a little louder each time.

What art?

Yeezus and TLOP were goat too

Also Donda

Easily Ye lmao

ye would if he didn't have BS antics involved and just have his listening parties set with the album finished and released on time

Cole probably off the top of my head

tbh

Weeknd number 1 for me.
man drops cinematic videos, interacts with fans
drops remixes and unique artwork

Ye my favorite oat when it comes to rollouts but in recent years it’s been Tyler

Bruh been killing it for some years now

Kanye by far lol no other rapper even has memorable rollouts anymore lol

Oh this typical hollow argument where every abstract piece can be interpreted as art. “Performance art usually centers on a single act or artist, who signalizes and symbolizes some special message. Through body, motion, and gesture, declamatory speech, custome and accessories, stage property and sound.” Fancy way of saying he dances without a purpose or meaning on unfinished music while a house is burning down in some new Ye fit. I'm not going to spend 20 minutes listening to some douche overcomplicating stuff just to ride Ye's d***.

These rollouts are for music, and if anything these listening parties proved is he's struggling real hard to deliver us that music.

This applies to the latest rollouts though, I fw everything before Pablo

Some douche lol i mean he is an art professor

And that's not at all the argument, but you wouldn't know since you didn't watch it

But fine you don't have to do you i guess

the only answer tbh.

I watched several pieces and felt my brain melting because of the d***riding and overcomplicating of several details. But fair enough that's often when discussing art.

Personally I'm unable to see these messages during those performances and get anything of "art" other than some interesting concepts.

You got me thinking, but I'm not doing a 180. So I guess it's somewhere in the middle. I'm too focussed on the music and I think these performances could be better. But again that professor reviews music and is a Ye fan stating "Kanye is the most successful Performance Artist of All Time".

But with art, especially performance art, it's not like it's always a clear message like "yo the meaning of life is 42" tho lol, and that's definitely not the case here for sure. There are interesting concepts as you say, but a lot of the times the purpose is to get you to think about those concepts from a different angle presented by the artist instead of telling you exactly what to think.

And yeah he called him the most successful performance artist, but he was being a bit provocative lol, in another video he said he meant successful specifically and not necessarily the greatest.

He goes more in depth here, his videos and reviews are very interesting in general tbh also about other artists, I really liked his review about Dawn FM

No one saying Run The Jewels?

But aint we talking bout rollout here?

Do you remember any of those standard rollouts vividly tho? No. And it's bout best rollouts here

Ye

Yes, rollout is promotion leading up to the album, a good rollout is not misleading and lying to your fans and causing drama for attention

Bottomless Pit/The Powers That B were crazy rollouts

Kpop groups

They all drop promo calendars so you know when to expect stuff and teasers and merch and everything

Example

Their lives are being controlled fr
