I'm not surprised or upset in the least. And the musical portion of SNL shows invariably sucks, for many years now, no matter how good the musician might ordinarily be.
But what's with the writer of this article?
"...The guy's music is so intensely good it (almost) justifies his God complex. Every time the rapper gets onstage at some awards show and accepts one statue by claiming he should have won another one, we usually have to agree. West has encouraged us to expect such a superhuman level of perfection from him, it was inevitable he would one day not be able to meet it."
Compared to who?
Kanye is catchy in some of his songs, I'll grant them that much, but that's about it. He's just another Top40 schlocky Pop asshole when it comes down to it, getting rich off suburban white punks trying to be playas, just like his arch enemy 50cent. All that money he is making isn't coming from poor black people in the ghetto, that's for sure.
But it is good if this means his colossal ego gets taken down a notch or two.
