That is insulting to the Beatles. This is more like the sort of progressively stranger work that Michael Jackson did after Thriller. Even if they've produced a child, Kanye really seems about as interested in Kim Kardashian as MJ was in his spouses.

Well not sure why hip hop's

Well not sure why hip hop's different from anything else, listened to a lot of Public Enemy & Tackhead & Digital Underground & NWA & LL Cool J & Salt'nPepa & Jungle Brothers & Prodigy and what not. Check out Dub Syndicate/Lee Scratch Perry's Train to Doomsville for some disturbed shit. Can't get enough. (supposedly a Gregorian Chant version) So much for Jamaican good vibes.

Comes to mind, though, that Kim Kardashian is no Yoko Ono.

Really, can't understand what the complaint is about.

One sentence that really helped me understand:

Those who want to call this his “White Album”are free to do so.

He is not in a healthy state

He is not in a healthy state of mind. Alot of people in our society aren't. He needs to realize that and come back after he's himself again.

I think it would be a great signal to people in our society that you can take control of your own mental health.

Just a reminder of what Yeezy sounded like when he was in a better place:

You are right that is pretty sick. That is going after a very narrow group of listeners. The hip hop that gets played here by my grandson is pretty up beat.

In reply to Will check it out, but

I'm not sure - we may come from very different musical worlds. I assumed hip-hop wouldn't be big with this crowd - I post on it because of encouragement from the people here.

Will check it out, but

In reply to You need to listen to the

Will check it out, but Bowie's Low nor The Cure's The Top/Pornography nor early Joy Division nor Tuxedo Moon were terribly sane. You have me curious - I'd gotten bored with these guys - maybe Kanye's finally making music I can relate to. Post-patrum depression?

You need to listen to the album. It is not the work of a sane man.

In reply to A Plea to Kanye West

Hmmm... I thought Lennon's best work was self-absorbed, & Mick Jagger's as well - including that skirt thing while reciting Shelley. Jim Morrison? terminal ego. Patti Smith dressed & acted weird - why Radio Ethiopia rocked. David Byrne? same as it ever was. In Utero? Chuck D & his voice of God lyrics? seems pretty self-absorbed as well. Kid Rock defined himself with "Cocky".

Really, can't understand what the complaint is about.
