What Kanye Wore: Atlantic City edition
We're still trying to figure out what Kanye West is rocking on stage right now. During his show at Revel in Atlantic City, 'Ye is wearing what we will either call an albino Teen Wolf or Abominable Snowman outfit. It also started to snow inside of the arena. Could this have any relation to Cruel Winter?
ABSOLUTELY INACCURATE
Cruel Summer was a compilation album and while Kanye's production work can not be flawed, most of it's failures as an overall piece can be directly attributed to the unwanted and unnecessary presence of Big Sean and Teyana Taylor.
Watch The Throne was a successful both on a critical and commercial level, it helped to establish Kanye, "The Brand" and cement his iconic status in rap. Noted musical critic and lacefront theorist Blue Ivy even wrote a book on the album, granted that was mostly at her father's request but still...
So as you can see Kanye's musical output although admittedly polarising thematically, is still considered high quality. Typical complaints about his music are not that he has 'fallen off' exactly but more that he doesn't sound the way people want him to sound.
Might I put it to you, that the extraneous circumstances that Kanye Omari West currently finds himself in (his
mistakerelationship withThat OneKim Kardashian) may have somewhat negatively coloured your opinion of him and thus I argue you are unable to form a fully objective opinion on the quality of his work?LOL...I need to get some more sleep, clearly
