I totally agree, and that’s one of the reasons he was such a breakout artist.

You might have me here. Very good song.

That’s a fair point but All Of the Lights was the main single/ hit from the album, so you would expect it to be played more in general. You can have mainstream success and be critically good- Jay, Kendrick, the Beatles, etc... And for as much as Kanye injects himself into culture, you can imagine he’s always wanted…

Kanye has always been more of a gatherer than a creator- more Duke Ellington than Miles Davis. Neither one is bad, but they knew how to play to their strengths.
