I love how Kanye is so wildly, declaratively ambitious and inventive and pioneering and forward-thinking and broad-minded and in the end what he cares most about is winning more Grammys. That’d be like some self-professed great chef aspiring to get a sandwich on the McDonald’s menu.

From Anne Carson’s “Red Doc>”

                               You

know the Carthaginians

liked to use oxen for night

fighting. I’m talking about

Hannibal I’m talking about

the battle of Ager Falernus

217 BC. Like tanks but

more frightening. They’d

tie lit torches to the horns

and stampede them toward

the enemy. The Romans

panicked some ran into the

herd some got knocked off

the path to the crags below

others tried to retreat and

were lost in the tundra

never seen again. But what

about I’m asking what

happens when the torches

burn down to the horn to

the hair to the head to the

bone beneath. So much

human cruelty is simply

incidental is simply

brainless. Simply no

common sense. You could

take the entirety of the

common sense of humans

and put it in the palm of

your hand and still have

room for your dick

The last record I can remember — and I’m going to name records that you’ll think are cheesy — but like, J-Kwon, “Tipsy.” People would think that’s like a lower-quality, less intellectual form of hip-hop, but that’s always my No. 1. There’s no opera sounds on this new album, you know what I mean? It’s just like, super low-bit. I’m still, like, slightly a snob, but I completely removed my snob heaven songs; I just removed them altogether.

“Snob Heaven Songs” sounds like something i would be v interested in though
