This is a review of Kanye as a human being and like most of the reviews of him as a human being it is in bad faith. I get what these people are saying 100%.

Complex was ktt so expected

People need to decide whether they are mad Ye has corny lines and bars or if they want others to write for him.

Similar debate they had with Drake. Do they want the artist to be the performer or the vehicle with other writers helping them to a large degree. Because Ye has in many ways primarily always been the vehicle more than the direct writer.

He isn't on the radio dropping freestyle after freestyle nor has he ever really been. His moments come from the stream of conciousness thought moments and rants but not raps. Iconic live singing moments after runaway. More focused on producing, entertaining, passion than direct writing on every single song. Ideas we never heard of or a new way to look at things. Which he has presented in a modern context and rather than just disagree people vehemently disagree call him crazy, bipolar, hate his entire existence burn shoes. So he doubles down then he triples down then he says "look you are reacting so I am right" because people can't just disagree with a human being they feel invested in.

That is how what many call his best album was made. With wide collaboration when EVERYONE WANTED TO WORK WITH YE. We are no longer before Love Everybody era though. Pablo cut and extended versions of songs is so beautiful too. People hated on Pablo spent too much time comparing it to the past rather than accepting the present. Now he has less of those connects because they fear they will be blackballed or because he has broken ties with them during mental episodes that got him to be free from his contract. He doesn't live in Chicago and can't really because he wants to be able to see his kids

he damn near 50 nearly dropping music and people mentioning 20 year old albums saying "we miss this Ye" time after time after time. Like in that time he hasn't lost his mom on the public stage, been treated like a damn near criminal for interrupting a MTV VMA ( that no one watches anymore), Been told he hates black people the moment he put on a hat . The subsequent moments after and his reaction or saying more I get but just when the hat went on all the crimes and thoughts of Trump everyone instantly posited to Ye as well.

Dealing with a kidnapping that clearly changed him being made into content for people to watch on E. Seeing people he once loved sell their soul for constant content with no end in sight.

When look at Biden doing some of the very same things a republican would do. Saying if you don't vote for me you aren't black. While implementing some horrors in terms of immigration, Palestine, perpetual war. Being called so senile that he can't be held accountable for things.

The Kanye you know and love in many ways is still here he has just seen more traumas then when you last used his music to get through your own struggles.

With 0 airplay lmao

Radio f*** you!

If hiphop radio was real they would push it but they rather like rap slowly dying on the charts

haven't liked a ye album this much so soon since LR maybe being away from his music during the buildup and having no expectations has something to do with this lol

pretty sure its not real its edited but that carnival was played before he was even visible

"Crazy, bipolar, antisemite, and I'm still the king"​
