Trevor and I sometimes just sit around and talk about how this is the best album ever.
Regardless of how I feel about the Grammys, I am glad that I live in a world where My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is now officially recognized as the best rap album released last year (mid-2010 to mid-2011).
I mean, I agree with Touré. It obviously should have been nominated for/won Best Album, but I’m looking for the silver lining here…
For the record, Kanye won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album. Basically, he dominated the Rap categories. Only one win was televised.
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I’m alone
And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong
And dreaming when they’re gone

REGARDING “ALL FALLS DOWN,” ONE OF MANY MASTERPIECES BY ‘YESUS
Me: ”All Falls Down” is quintessential race relation philosophy for me - I want to teach that song in class
Stacy: there are so many dissertations that should be written about that song.
Me: SO MANY
Me: ALL OF THEM
Me: ALL OF THE LIGHTS PhDs
I gotta testify, come up in the spot lookin' extra fly...
