i'm sure it looked pretty hokey in person, but the fact that they managed to get some of those snow globe shots on the BET awards' shoestring budget (how many rappers mics worked properly? half?) has got to be some sort of success.
also i like to imagine that after the song ended and they wheeled his paper maiche volcano backstage he just stayed up there for the remainder of the show.

i get that everything Kanye does is really about being 'grandiose' or 'forward-thinking' or whatever, but when he uses the same kinds of gestures over and over to that end, it really just comes off kind of anti-climactic and bereft of ideas. i mean, i know Kanye wants people to go HOLY SHIT after a performance like that, i just can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would.

this sounds like crack music. i mean, one of the reasons i was a big 808s defender is because i took it as a momentary diversion, not a future direction, but it still sounded hella fresher than this. and damn dude just can't stay away from austin powers.

xp yeah i imagine this will be a back-to-kanye-basics comfort album, maybe with some gil scott heron type agitatory b.s thrown in
i don't really mind personally - at very least i think it's a well-judged move and exactly what ppl want from him again whether they enjoy that fact or not

every time I hear that song, I just want to listen to King Crimson
here's a totally awesome version of Norwegian deathjazz crew Shining doing "21st Century Schizoid Man" that ALSO CAME OUT THIS YEAR which is better than the Kanye version any day of the week

this post is otm, 808s as much as i like it at least was a one-off, now he's like "back to saving rap!" and it's his same old same old. and i kept thinking of the song today and getting "Crack Music" stuck in my head instead.

love the background (although they're really more like foreground) vocals on that kanye track. it reminds me more of the choir on lil wayne's "best rapper alive" than "crack music".

i've sort of warmed to "power" now that i'm hearing it on the radio more -- the rapping is still pretty abominable but i think it's actually fairly epic
