at least it's better than survival production wise.
Yeah but in a way I'm glad he's not doing anything too 'interesting' because when I first saw the album title and bleached hair I thought 'he's going to pretend to be 23 again and it's going to sound so fake'. He's past his prime so nothing will be terribly interesting. This is why I never want to be so rich that everything becomes extremely sterile. But I'm sure you could write interesting raps about being rich (imagine Yeezus if it wasn't so trashy for 4/5 of the album).
Not surprising at all except I'm impressed just because it's not as bad as his other recent work (which is what I was fully expecting).
