nedhepburn: Review: Jay-Z ?Magna Carta Holy Grail" ?Tom Ford?...

?Tom Ford? attempts to make the menswear designer into a chorus? and it doesn?t work in the slightest. Whereas I think ?Yeezus? was made by Kanye for Kanye, ?Magna Carta Holy Grail? was made to impress. What are you more likely to yell with a raised fist at a concert? ?New Slaves? or ?Tom Ford?? One is an artistic statement about race in America, the other a corporate statement about a fashion designer.

Even if Kanye is less likable, at least he?s making art for himself first. Jay seems to be making art for everybody else and forgetting what makes it click for him. The result is an album about as personal and interesting as a corporate Powerpoint presentation.
