from Watching the Throne: A Lyrical Analysis of Kanye West · host New School Critics
As always, Chris and Travis are excited to embark upon yet another Kanye album. But there's a heavy sense of dread that hangs over Season 6, because going line by line through 808s & Heartbreak is no easy task. Pain, loss, heartache, loneliness...none of it can be avoided, and it's going to take 14 episodes to get through it all. In this initial episode, we overview the album narrative and what to expect from our season-long breakdown.
