Kanye dropped an album and everyone is either furious or enlightened. Crazy how art is able to do that to people collectively.
I've been caught up in a bit of a whirlwind the last week and a half. COE guessed Kanye's Album Title and I cant really talk about much but, we got to see the fashion show live and hang out at the MSG aux cord party for a bit and it was really special. For most of the people involved in COE, Kanye is very important, so this moment was one we will hold real close for a long time.
I have so many feelings towards the negativity towards art that has been spreading like wildfire for the past few weeks but I really don't know how to verbalize it. I've tried and failed a few times and honestly I'm running out of energy.
Basically. . . start talking about things that you actually like more often than you talk about things you hate or are offended by. Promote more shit. Everything an artists makes is a reflection of an emotion within them. To hear someones emotion and rip it to pieces is not fair and makes no sense. We can argue who deserves awards, or whats better than what in your personal opinion, but I will not discuss what is bad and what is good. That's not how this works.
We all got way too comfortable on the internet and started to think that when someone liked a song/movie/performance that we didn't like, we had to let them know. That isn't true. The truth is nobody cares about what you have to say when it involves sentiments like "she looks like a whore" or "hes an idiot" or "this is so fucking bad why do you like this." Nobody really even cares when you are saying nice things either, but I think we can agree that sharing your positive opinions doesn't make the world a miserable place and god knows we need to be heard somehow.
Here are some tunes I like this week. If you don't like them, write it down on a piece of paper and send it nowhere because I do not fucking care, ok? I'm on an Ultralight Beam and you negative people are all really hurting my soul.
