This conversation reminds me of Jimmy James explaining poker to Lisa.

What about extraterrestrial radio plays?

I don't even think it's the "hip-hop is terrible" argument so much as the "All I know of Kanye is that he's a celebrity and I want to show Deep I am by rejecting him" argument

No shit. The best thing you can say about a person who says that is that they need to stop paying so much attention to celebrity gossip and pop culture news.

I still don't think he's ever topped "Vandross / pants off".

Kanye is one of my favorite working artists today and when I see someone (or a group of people) who can't see past his celebrity to the music he makes— especially when he's being abrasive and challenging, like Yeezus— I have to laugh, because all they're doing is showing that they're just as vapid as what they claim…

There's so much gold there:

I thought this was in response to it.

He was so polite! Audiences loved that!

EDIT: Oh, I already mentioned the high-hat thing. It's from Alan Sepinwall's review, not his interview with Yost. Boyd says it.

Yeah… that's the disappointment with where the AV Club has gone in a nutshell: They can get just as many clicks, if not more, with grabby headlines and thinkpieces on faulty premises as they can with well-reasoned analysis, so that's where they've gone with the site.

The delivery of "masturbated himself to death" was pretty great.

It was the episode more than any from that season, I think, where the concept said "This could be a classic Community," but the execution demonstrated a complete failure to understand the characters.
