How so? I've watched producers and songwriters say they are therapists.... In the language of creativity there is A LOT of translating and use of flowery and sometimes confusing language to do so. Thats just the way it is

Yes.

All input is necessary for art...

There is a spectrum of artist(s). On one extreme you have people who are PURE ART (that homeless person who sings like an angel) and on the other is the "BUSINESS MAAAAANN" (someone not as talented but can hack through the game)

All artists fall on this spectrum somewhere... most battle somewhere in the middle.. But our favorites often bend a little towards PURE ART.

How many posts in these forums are on some "When is so and so gonna drop an album again, Why doesnt so and so stick to the shit I like from them" We WANT them to be more "Business MAAAAANNN" but no they are not.

No.. because I know that there are probably trigger words and or shit that Ye has already done that will color their view of the video same as anyone else.
