‘kanye west stands alone’ by frannie kelley.
‘there are ideas in ‘new slaves’ and ‘black skinhead’ that are echoed in the editorial pages of the new york times, but kanye’s songs give them volume and heart. they are a reminder of what music can do — and the isolation artists feel when they say things we don’t want to hear. people need to stop saying hip-hop is dead. there are brave people making it, and we should be proud.’
‘everything we do is usually very sensual in its aural quality. like saying, ‘okay, you listen with your skin.’ in some sense, this record has no samples, just the last track with the sample from this australian rock band. so this is basically a record without samples, and yet this record is so much influenced by sampling. it’s almost like projecting ourselves back into a certain time. but as if you had seen the future with the evolution of where it was going to go, the technology, and what would happen in the following thirty years. what would be the good thing to come out of it and the bad? so it was almost a back to the future thing.’ —thomas bangalter
