It would be so funny if she stopped doing the age album title thing and just came out with a record titled something like VOLCANIC BIRD ENEMY AND THE VOICED CONCERN
You're right, I should've taken into consideration the fame level of his wife before making my comment. Wtf was I thinking. Please tell me about all the rich and famous people who I should like regardless of their actions, etc. God I wish this show was still on the air then it would be super easy to figure out with is "worth" paying attention to ... https://youtu.be/C4N9OA6MYYM
"Among many other things, Donda stands as proof that cancel culture does not exist."
and this is because why?
ariel pink announced a new album and not a peep but the ye posts keep coming and will likely never stop until?.... I honestly dont give a shit either way, it's funny to me... but I find the picking and choosing in terms of whats "CANCELED" has a lot more to do with the mouthpieces than the mouths. You can't be canceled If you're worth the clicks, baby. Let's just stop being cute about it
I don't think they included those John scher observations because they agreed with him/them. I think they wanted to point out what an absolute monster he was/is
I still had many issues with the doc, that being said. You're right about bill Simmons monoculture stamp of approval being all over this. Greg saunier made the important takeaways more clearly in his short essay than they did in 2 hours
i never really considered how incredibly stupid (in a good way) the lyrics to "where is my mind" are
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
Bump into me, swear he's
Tryin' a talk to me, say wait wait
lol
I honestly think this might be the least essential LP ever made. it can't be assessed in terms of good v bad - it's very existence on every level (genesis, execution, final product) is a shitty joke that would have come off as shitty if it was just a 30-second gag in an SNL skit. So I reject that this is a thing which even exists and suggest everyone else does the same.
I agree with you somewhat here... they are clearly leaning into it as performance art piece NOW and you're exactly right about what the idea behind it is, but I'm not fully sold that it's been that way from the VERY beginning, which is kind of the most intriguing part of the whole "mystery" (its origins)
He clearly wants people to know NOW because it's... a) good for business? or, b) he's genuinely inspired by the idea? or, he simply sees how obsessed people are about it on boards etc and wants to expound on in it for reasons A or B?
Your comment below about the Nelson Article is intriguing because that does seem to be the holy grail in a sense, insomuch as it's the 1 of (if not he very) first google hits, and if you read that once, you kind of know as much as anyone else who spent the time finding all of the info it sourced from, either before or after.
IDK it's all so cloudy and dumb that i get when/why (A LOT OF) people just see the whole schtick and give it a hard pass. (although to be fair, i genuinely think the music is good and interesting in its own right, which – not surprisingly ! – often gets lost in the shuffle) ... To me, this is the kind of cloudy/dumb that is secretly genius perhaps, but what the hell do i know
These music videos feel like he is leaning harder into the mythos in a way that he hasn't before. In the past it was just his "media persona" (for the most part) that was dabbling in this weirdness, be it real or constructed. Now the art seems to be embodying it as well. Very interesting
