i think of the album less in terms of sides than in terms of 'starts well and ends well, with a trough in the middle'

yup.
I've heard "Send It Up" at clubs a couple times (once in the middle of a bunch of dancehall and bass music, once in the middle of a bunch of rap) and heard a dj start a set with "New Slaves" but those are the only tracks I've heard out.

I wish he'd done a more normal singles campaign for this album once it was out, feels like a little of a cop out to make a 'challenging your audience' album and then not try to reach that audience through some of the same radio/media channels that he's always reached a huge number of people through

Radio 1 interview at the moment is something else.

does nu-kanye get a diff voice
it is very weird, maybe the gold teeth are part of the issue.
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:48 (twelve years ago)
i kinda assume that's how he actually talks and his 'rapper voice' is more of a contrivance tbh
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:52 (twelve years ago)
wow his voice is making me feel like i'm on hallucinogens

i don't quite know whether i love kanye's ridiculous persona or not. on the one hand it really stops me taking him seriously because it works against what potentially should be taken seriously (cf mariah whose ridiculousness enhances my ability to take her seriously). and i kinda want to take him seriously. but his ridiculousness doesn't quite work on an "embrace it, stupidity and all, in a kind of camp appreciation way" in the way i appreciate britney's persona, for example. all in all it makes me continue to be interested in him but at arm's length.

Dive in. I laughed loud and often. He makes some good points too (or at least half-points), amid the bullshit.
