People think Kanye is arrogant but it's all an act, I think - he's more or less admitted that he is playing around. Self belief is different to arrogance, and he has a strong sense of self belief as he was rejected so many times before. The best interview I read with Kanye was in Ebony last year - he really let down his guard. I think at a pinch his first album was more compelling but I love how West is not afraid to show his contradictions and I like the idea of self education and self-awareness that he promotes. Bold of him to work with Brion after seeing the movie Eternal Sunshine and wondering who did the music... Common keeps on apologising profusely for Electric Circus in the press - that was just an amazing album! Future classic! Latest Be is good "blue collar" hip-hop, as he says.
