Rabelais Himself Couldn't Have Written A Better Character...
Kanye West represents the best kind of self-aware excess and self-conscious American Braggadocio. He's an epicurean genius, and this is the best snapshot-profile of him that I've read.
Glad to see Kanye back to rapping. No one in pop music can touch him today. In fact, no one else even matters (well, maybe Eminem). But that's about it.
The video is spectacular. How can you have everything that sucess brings and still doubt your sucess.

ReplyDeleteEminem is really good. His Recovery CD is excellent.
ReplyDeleteBut, you're right: Kanye's the best right now. Certainly the most interesting.
At least until Andre and Big Boi get back together again.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I wasn't that impressed with 'Speakerboxx and the Love Below'
ReplyDeleteI think Outcast may have run their course.
