To some degree, Kanye West used to embody the Zeitgeist. His new track "Power" is weak sauce. Oh, how good things fade away. The beats are 2005 hand claps and some guitar fuzz from King Crimson. References to Austin Powers, loneliness, and drunk driving further the unspiration. But wow, Kanye, no one has ever sampled "21st Century Schizoid Man." At least your samples are still fresh. Oh wait, Ozzy is covering the whole song on his new album? Hawt.
One other thing. Kanye has not made any strides in terms of personal awareness. The definition of schizoid: of or pertaining to a personality disorder marked by dissociation, passivity, withdrawal, inability to form warm social relationships, and indifference to praise or criticism.
