I think I should make a concentrated effort not to complain. I mean, I do, but complaining about things is so natural, so American.
I wanted to talk about Kanye's (very) short film. I enjoyed it. Not immensely, but once I understood the undertones of it, it definitely made me appreciate it more. Artistically, it was beautiful. The colors, the photography, all of it was extremely visually stimulating. I was very tempted to hop onto Tumblr and defend my views of it, but I decided against it. I have to learn not to impulse blog. It really does irk me though when people are quick to harshly criticize creative-minded people.
I'm going in the studio tomorrow and honestly, after watching Runaway, I feel like throwing away both of the verses to the songs that I'm doing. I think I've expressed this on this blog before, but when I do songs with my bruh Nick, I get out of my element. I add a twist to it that isn't really me. I limit myself creatively so I can fit in and what I got out of that 'Ye video was to be who I am creatively and not let the world (my environment) change me.
I sound really dumb right now lol.

Okay, after playing Call of Duty and whatnot, I decided to watch the movie again. It's making more sense, and it's actually pretty sad. Like, literally heartbreaking. I feel like this album has an 808s feel to it, but not as emotional, more hip-hoppy.
I have more to say, but I am lightweight tired, and sort of depressed after watching that. I'll finish up my thoughts tomorrow I guess.
