I disagree with you about Yeezus, but I agree with you about TLOP and understand that in three years someone might say the same thing about TLOP and "Hypothetical Kanye Album 8". So good point.

The Ray J line would have at least just been petty if it came anytime in the four years since Ray J "fired the first shots". Coming in 2016, it just feels like he had nothing to write about and had to reach back to old drama. (I Love Kanye would also benefit from him spitting it like, at a concert in 2009, instead of…

I've done it with. the earliest track lists do have a little more cohesion than the bloat of the final one. the skits in particular, which are funny but interrupt the flow of an already-erratic album, don't help the final tracklist's case. but Ultra Light Beam needs to be the opener in any incarnation. Famous doesn't…

Ten thoughts i have had about The Life Of Pablo after listening to nothing much but this album since the Tidal livestream aired:

As a kanye fan it was obviously self aware which is all you can ask from kanye. it was funny! kyle mooney was amazing in it i really began to believe he could conceivably have his own soundcloud (i don't know dude's comedy backstory). Thought it was kind of uncanny valley how we couldn't see kanye's face tho that took…

a lot of it is the fashion… not only the show but his whole line… he just tweeted about it to increase the drama he just has that much debt when you take into account his mortgage and stuff… i assure you he's not on the edge of bankrupcy… if he was it woulda been The College Dropout Two and he would have had one of…

communication, man. gotta feel what hank's trying to do with his Original Flavor Emojis. if we could all just understand each other, what we're really trying to say. and not get caught up in our differences. man or woman. french or Minnesotan. absurdist or… Minnesotan. would all this have been avoided? who can say.…

*takes notes furiously* yes, yes. and how do bruce campbell's reagan and the reverse vampires fit into this?

i'm not sure if i 100% love hanzee as tripoli or think it's kinda too clever, but i love how hyped it gets mcclarnon, and how eager he is to help fienberg flesh out the easter egg.

oh, of all the television i have poured my time into eagerly consuming, few scenes have ever, weirdly enough, made me feel as tense and ravenous as hank's slow explanation of his universal language. i don't think i loved this episode as much as some previously, but that scene was some juggernaut shit. hank, betsy and…

bear being killed because of the ufo's distraction was the perfect visual counterpoint to the miller's crossing-aping visual shots when he took s*mone to Long Term Parking. that right there alone would have "earned it" for me, as a device, something about surveillance and exposure symbolically. what was definitely…
