but kanye…
don get me wrong i like the man but his adlibs were kinda clumsy and lazy, so he just settled with refraining the lyric over and over again(for example love lockdown) and the reason for the autotune is that he actually cant sing.. his inability to hit the right notes especially in love lockdown was agonising..
the egotrippin, chris brown and OJ/MJ so amazing comments make it also look like that kanye runs out of good things to sing/talk about and starts to blurb out these little ideas of his that he hasn’t propably thinked thru.. it only makes it sound like he’s also like this michael jackson type of a character who’s out of touch wit reality..
actually the interesting part was in the beginning and good life when he just talked about stuff and was not trying too hard.
its an ok performance, but i hope he doesn’t have to make another performance where he pulls off more of these non -premeditated comments and adlibs.
