I can’t think of how quickly someone’s professional reputation has been trashed in less than a decade. In 2013, he was on the short list of greatest album artists of all time. Since then his work has pretty much stunk (I didn’t really like Life of Pablo) and I can’t think of any celebrity who has gone so far out there. It’s both sad and disgusting in equal measures.
I can think of a few that have come close but none were near the caliber of Kanye. In 2013 he and Kim K. were well on their way to becoming American royalty (along the lines of Beyoncé and Jay-Z). I think most of this spiral is due to the fact that he has no anchor in his life to keep him from getting swept up in whatever is around him. Dude has mental illness issues and needs a strong presence in his life to keep him on track, he lost that initially when his Mother passed away. He regained it to some extent with Kim but once their marriage effectively ended he has no one left to help him. Everyone around him now is using him as a prop. Eventually the shock value fades and the money dries up and he is gonna be left with next with next to nothing.
Blue Cheese!
Yes, disc 1 both sides.
Yup. The very same.
I tried multiple copies of TVZ this month and got the GZ beginning of side noise on all of them. Gave up. It boggles my mind that they still haven't fixed this.
I threw my Dilla on real quick and pumped the volume up. Disc 2 is clean. Disc 1 both sides have very faint GZ crackle on the run-in, but isn’t audible once the music kicks in.
I think it is a solid album and likely would have been more well regarded had it been released in 94 instead of 99. IMO it’s a bit of a hidden gem. Just a tier below some of the all time Wu classics with the added benefit that I didn’t listen to it a ton when it was initially released so the songs aren’t as overly familiar.
Oh right, I remember reading about this project and how they had to start over. I'll definitely check it out since it's a Wu album.
Of course i just finally grabbed a copy of that Deck album that was out for delivery 2 days ago but is now in “waiting for delivery scan” purgatory.
Hope you didn't pay too much for it.Of course i just finally grabbed a copy of that Deck album that was out for delivery 2 days ago but is now in “waiting for delivery scan” purgatory.
