‘if i ever instigated, im sorry’ – Kanye West, The Life Of Pablo [2016]

A pandemonium that somehow seems to stick together.

His raison d’etre, throughout the length of the album, keeps varying. Yeezus, to some, was a concept album, with Kanye trying to come to terms with the fact, that he isn’t infallible, finally accepting ‘I know he the most high, but I am a close high’. Yet, he proceeds to rap ‘I am a God’, painting a vividly detailed idea of the podium he places himself on. David Hammons was an influential Black artist, who went on to berate the world and the audience that had celebrated him, calling them out as ‘overly sophisticated’. To Kanye, he was nothing short of an inspiration. Yeezus was no more a mortal man, he wasn’t creating art to please his mortal audience. Even though he was a Man of God, he was nothing short of the latter, himself.

Yeezus has to descend from the throne he sits on, to be a father. A husband. A speaker for his community. The throne was too far up to be heard from. Yeezus walks down the platform, glancing at his past aura – would he be able to retrace his steps back from his life of excess, women, recklessness – would he be able to survive, and more importantly, not die?

The moment the steps end & the podium evades his mindscape, Yeezus transcends into Pablo. He is no more a God, a mortal man, surrounded by mortal men.

The album art clearly depicts a dichotomy. An agonizing difference between his new world and the habits that he often finds himself embedded in. Pablo, after all, isn’t all that different from Yeezus. Moreover, what differentiates him from the latter, is his desire to turn into Pablo. Regardless, he fails to. This idea of swinging from one persona of his to the other, fledges over the record. It’s a begrimed scenario for our protagonist – one who doesn’t know who he is.

As the continuous dizzying dilemma folds out, he seems to accept Pablo the way he is. ‘Saint Pablo’ is not without his flaws. However, from this juxtaposition, Pablo can’t help but reach one obnoxious conclusion, which he brings on Abel to declare: ‘cant let them get to me, and even though I always fuck my life up, only I can mention me’, and on the same track, he cries out 'dont stop the loving, they dont wanna see me love you'.

The Resurgence of Milan(?)

Over the entirety of this season, we saw that there was the rise of Inter Milan and AC Milan. While the years rolled back, they absolutely dominated Serie A. However, now, with Inter Milan on a fire sale and AC being unable to hold on to their manager and some key players like Hakimi, will Juventus, again come roaring back? Or can we see the resilience of Milan stand strong?
