He's been trash ever since MBDTF. He let the acclaim of that album get to his head and now for some reason he thinks he's the best artist alive. Sorry, but his genius left with that album. Yeezus is the most pretentious, one note, pompous, hip-hop album of all time. When you stop making music about actual issues in life that connect with people (All Falls Down, Heartless, Jesus Walks, etc etc), and start just bragging and talking about how great you are in all your songs, you know you've lost it. All he has now is his big mouth, he's compensating for the trash he's been creating in the studio (minus Real Friends, which is the only heartfelt, sincere, song he's created in half a decade. He just keeps throwing all this trash as us and acting like it's GENIUS. His delusional fans buy it, but I'm glad there's some who see through his deranged words.
What is genius about his clothing? It's basically a more urban version of American Apparel.
What is genius or next level about his music (recently)? He's been stealing ideas from younger artists more than ever recently and all his songs have the same aesthetic ever since Yeezus.
What is genius about what he says? He sounds like he should be in a psych ward 90% of the time.
I think we need to allow for more talented, sane, musicians to have more spotlight and start taking it away from these entitled artists who aren't even doing anything interesting or fresh anymore.
