    I’ll never stop listening to pre-Pablo Ye but this beautiful reimagining is (while so listenable) a funerary tome for someone who used to speak for those in pain. I’ll never excuse or continue to purchase from him but I will always be in mourning for the anti es😮tablishment ye that still makes us weep a bit when we hear it

    Kanye should do a show in a small venue with just him and this guy on stage. It would be legendary.
