&gt; One of the best &quot;mainstream&quot; albums in recent times was Kanye&#x27;s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qJae2OpoHeE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qJae2OpoHeE</a> , his latest YT video is basically an ad. And while I tried listening to some of his other melodies I found out that most of them are about his material accomplishments, and that&#x27;s about it. Or maybe this is all a post-modernist thingie where this is a veiled critique about today&#x27;s society, in which case I&#x27;ll pass.<p>For comparison, take this IAM piece: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0uQ_X6nQ8xk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=0uQ_X6nQ8xk</a> , which talks about real people with real problems from the real world. They&#x27;re miles ahead in terms of artistic performance and impact.
