Love Lockdown had just come across as really rough, and it was a completely unanticipated deviation from 'normal' Kanye.
And to be honest, I just wasn't expecting another album so quickly. HA.
But the more songs that were released, the more I liked the album.
And then I read an article about how Kanye's album was released so quickly because he had absolutely no one to talk to about anything. He felt isolated. Within a week of his fiance breaking up with him (again ....), his mother passed. It's been rumored that he tried to get back in contact with her, but she refused. Needless to say, he poured all of his soul into his music. All of his pain, his turmoil, his questioned insanity - into his music. You can almost hear the pain.
Which leads me to believe that he chose to 'sing' on this album as it would be too hard to force rhymes to convey how you felt. Just 'singing' lets it all come out in its own way. Not all people can rap or rhyme how they feel and have everyone understand, but every single person has the capability to sing what they're feeling.
And that's why I like it.
Maybe it's 'bad' that I can connect to an album that has grief-twinged lyrics, or with a person who's forced to come across as completely unfeeling.
Even glancing at photos of him lately shows that he's in pain.
He looks like a robot.
And my head keeps spinning, can't stop having these visions ...
It's almost like a vocalized journal from Kanye.
Not to mention my boyfriend is on the album. :)
YAR

This just made 808s make a shitload more sense to me. You're right about recent pics of him, he does look a mess.
I love it though. I wasn't hesitant about getting it.
Okay, so that does make sense I guess. You know how people are though, I just really like it when he's happy, and actually sounds like it in his music. Although, every artist have their down times I guess too. It kinda reminds me a little of The Cool, and how Lupe was going through a lot around that time too. I really want him to get back on his feet though, you know - the old Kanye feel. Btw, anybody have any clue when Lup'End is coming out?
Yea it makes more sense to me too . I mean I thought Ol' Kanye went crazy, but I know I understand every song fully !
