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 should also add that I didn't totally lose faith until I heard his verse on "Erase Me", which is an astonishing bar-lowering moment in the history of bad rapping)

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.

Seems that Kanye covering "I Yam What I Yam" makes perfect sense, so.

if that's real, all is forgiven
