I never said he was some deep misunderstood genius... I said he was wrestling to express ideas already touched in multiple books. What he is trying to express isn't new and he is barely scratching the surface or understanding the nuances of the subject matter.

Ye was never the best producer, best rapper, best business man or best stylist... best reader.. He might be one of the best curators of ideas though.

And really he is the KING of pulling the USB out at 65% upload and be like this is enough lets go.. Like a human beta test

End of the day... all the shit we say we hate now existed in that same interview you did in 03
