Just finished watching that 40 min video clip of Kanye West on The Breakfast Club

And just thought to myself, something I've had in my mind for a while... Genius' are socially awkward :ohhh:

Meaning like they

talk in spurts, with awkward pauses
talk louder than needed :pachaha:

Say innovative stuff that make people go :wtf:


Nas (Genius songwriter) seems like he's not involved in the conversation when on interviews

Kanye (Genius producer) talks louder than needed, can't seem to convey his thoughts verbally that well

Jay-Z (Genius songwriter and hit-maker) always has awkward facial expressions, that always lead to 30 page long threads on the Coli :russ:


My theory is while everyone is out partying or socializing with other people, the Genius' spend time on their craft, like 10 hrs a day, sometimes staying up till 3am perfecting their art
That leaves them with less opportunities to talk to more people, get acclimated to social norms, etc.


I don't mind it, as long as they keep making that classic music :ohlawd:, i'm good!

See the fact that u see this rap sht as some one dimensional perspective of lyricism is the reason why u make horrible trash music that nikkaz clown

There more to the craft than what u conclude to be "lyricism"

SO instead of talkin sht study from nikkaz like Jay and realize what still makes their music hot after all this time

or keep making trash music that is universally hated :manny:

People that master an art typically spend alot of time alone, away from people and have a greater degree of self awareness, self conciousness about them so while they're there talking to you, they are in another place in their mind and arent able to authentically appear equally engaged in conversations with you because you arent on the same level.

A lot of great actors are.. Robert Deniro used to be notorious for bad interviews in the 80's.. Recently he's come out of his shell but he used to act like a boderline retard/recluse when in public...

Kendrick seems a little "off" at times or maybe he's just shy...
