I really think Pfork handled the headline all wrong too. It was too sensational. If you read what he said y'know?
I got mad love and respect for Quik. Dude is genuinely a fan of music. He is a guy that is always about thinking about making something unique and different. I love that.
I felt he was talking as a fan. He admires Kanye. I feel like his thought was that Pablo isn't forward thinking. And I agree in a sense. It is a great album. But it's not pushing any boundaries. When College Dropout came out - everyone started doing the Kanye chipmunk soul shit. When "Goldigger" dropped people realized you could do big budget samples w/o copying the song wholesale like Puff. When Graduation dropped, it was suddenly cool to dig straight techno tracks. 808's pretty much launched a sub-genre. And so on.
So I don't think there was malice there. I think it was a fan saying - ok, good album but I wish it was on some next shit.
It's all good.
