>>107 Just read your post on Ye and I agree with some of the things you say about the formula he has. It's a good one. It's also interesting to read the more intimate details within the blog, I feel like fame amplifies that which is our flaws, and the strengths can be taken for granted when it comes to consuming media and thinking someone is greater than what is expected. I didn't think to consider that his fans also have this expectation and may be frozen in 2007. I happen to like Yeezus and I think some of his current formula lends from that, now he's bedding in his style. A great musician can't keep up the hype, even though people expect greatness all the time, you need time to let yourself hear the new stuff enough to find it out. Seems he's an album maker, so it makes sense to let it pass the course of time. I doubt he's fully fallen off when it comes to his output, but I think when you're familiar with something or someone, it's a nice comfort to have their new music nod to their old stuff too. Changes do come sometimes to style and output, but ultimately, when we are fans, we can give a pass to the formula eventually when the album stands by itself after the critics voices calm down and they move onto something else. I feel like I'm blabbering now, so I'll stop.
