I'll never understand how Kanye West has been lauded as a "genius" for so long. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad people connect with his music. Music matters, and people deserve to find stuff that they love, I'm not trying to rag on anyone's tastes. I just personally don't get it. I feel like there are some amazingly talented and creative rappers out there who don't get that level of acclaim. I've listened to a lot of his stuff, and none of it really strikes me as anything special. In fact, songs like "Bound 2" feel insultingly bad to me, but people like it, so idk. 🤷♂️
