11. "are the kanye picks THAT unthinkable?" In response to In response to 0
pitchfork is a hipster/ alt rock magazine. that means they either like stuff that is super minstrelsy or super "artistic."
kanye is able to hit both of those marks. plus he's an auteur... which rock publications dig.
and not only that, MBDTF is a great album. yeezus is either great or terrible or mediocre or intentionally bad... but the fact that nobody can really decide makes it qualify as art, i guess.
do ppl dislike the pick because kanye didn't do it all by himself in the studio? that's pretty rockist.
do ppl dislike the pick because kanye can't rap? that's a fair point... but he's not being praised for being a god teir emcee.
he's being praised for making great albums. which he has done at least once or maybe twice in the past 5 years.
