Glad to hear you say that man. I mean it's one thing for you to not like the album, but it would be tragic if you said "that's it- I no longer like Kanye West, now I'm a hater."
I still think the record will end up growing on you, because you've got a better feel for hot beats than anyone I know. Sometimes I don't even realize a song is good until I hear your take on it. You helped me get over my Kanye "hump" (hating without having really heard everything from the first half of his career), and you've helped me get over the fact that even though I *hate* Drake's bitch ass and about half of his music, the other half is fire, no matter how lame he is.
So i have confidence that you'll come to at least a neutral point with this record.
BUT, Kanye's music aside, I have to admit that even I hung my head in shame when I read this shit:
This is some sad shit.
Yeah, TLOP is the hottest kind of fire (in my always humble opinion), but I think Kanye's severely bipolar, and his name checking of lexapro and psychiatry is real talk. I don't know that he's on coke, but I was almost a neuropsychologist (#TheGradSchoolDropout), and I know quite a bit about the patterns of severe type one BPD. I think Kanye has it. Possibly autism as well. But this is a manic episode if I've ever seen one. In that sense, I think he
is sick.
MUSIC STILL BEST IN THE WORLD THO!
