Like I said you guys are specialist when it comes to arenas . <| sep |> I wish he ' d just continued making music like you mention here . We could ' ve really seen how talented he is and what great stuff he could make . IMO he put music on the backburner once his fame really reached critical mass . He produced less and less of his work and became more of a hands off manager than anything resembling a musician . His recent music feels so much cheaper to me than his early work . Kanye hasn ' t been writing and putting together beats for many consecutive albums now . You could hear in his early music , the innovative way that he sampled and flowed . It was all him . It was simpler in many ways , not as grandiose . But IMO infinitely better . I can put on Through the Wire or even an old school track like Guess Who ' s Back with Scarface and Jay Z , and listen to it on repeat . But with 90 percent of his newest albums , I can barely make it through the first minute or two . I dunno if you feel the same way about his music , but I totally agree it would ' ve been amazing to see him as a normal dude making great music , cuz I think then we actually could ' ve seen the potential genius that he has . Basically I think he took the path of enormous public eye fame , over the path of music .
