Finally.....some A1 SMART TAKES
🚨 Rory, Mal & Demaris argue Kanye West’s ability to stay relevant with younger fans this deep into his career is almost impossible to replicate
Demaris argues The Life of Pablo was the point where Kanye captured a NEW generation of fans, because the kids who originally grew up on The College Dropout had already become adults.
Rory calls that a great point and says TLOP became the fork in Kanye’s career where he could’ve turned into a legacy act or remained extremely relevant with the younger generation.
He points to the Madison Square Garden listening event, Lil Yachty modeling and Kanye continuing to connect with younger fans without looking like “the old guy at the party” chasing relevance.
Rory ultimately says he thinks Kanye is the only artist who has been able to pull that off in hip hop.
They also argue Jesus Is King deserves more credit for its impact, with the pod praising the production and the Sunday Service era.

HUH?!
🚨 Peter Rosenberg goes IN on Ye for insisting on unveiling the “Dr. Donda West Way” sign himself at the ceremony honoring his own mother
Rosenberg says Ye couldn’t even make it 10 seconds without turning the moment into something about himself:
“You can’t just show up and be fully normal for 10 seconds.”
Then he takes it even further:
“I’m sorry that her son turned out to be so weird and disappointing on so many occasions.”
He says Donda West absolutely deserved the honor but argues Ye interrupting the person leading the ceremony was another example of him needing to make every moment his own.
Ebro pushes back, saying it’s tough to attack Kanye west for wanting to personally unveil a street sign honoring his own mother.
