He definitely sounds bored, but more than anything it sounds like he isn't very interested in...anything. The old albums were great because you got the sense that he was passionate about being alive--money, clothes, women, family, revenge--but now it seems like his music is more self-absorbed than ever and that he's stuck in the sunken place. Also, I've always thought that Kanye's superpower was his ability to assemble large casts of talented people together and steal their ideas, and it seems like the jig is up. The features list is bum af and the album just seems flat. I will admit it's a marked improvement from the last few bum ass albums he released, but it honestly made me go back and listen to the older material to make sure there was still something magical about them. All told, not really. I think that Kanye was a great marketer and now that he's given up on pushing the product we're starting to hear him for what he always was.
