Homecoming was always my favorite song from Graduation and now it means so much more as this had made me think of how I relate to my home 🇵🇷every time i return and write about something different. thank you 🧸
Love the analysis of the uncanny here. Such a rich concept, so useful for describing that subtle psychic discomfort we all go through at times. As it happens my last post went through a bunch of Ye albums too (here if you're interested: https://smalldarklight.substack.com/p/culture-club-7-my-2021-in-music). I'm a recent convert rather than someone who's been living with him over the years. Absorbing the work of great hip hop artists "from the outside", as someone who knows very little about the genre or culture, and seeing how it impacts me is a fascinating process.
I had never heard uncanny defined with that element of "once held dear." This was such a beautiful essay on so many levels.
Thank you so much!
Love love love how you perfectly put into words everything I feel when I'm back in Philly 💕 this is my favorite track so far!
Thank you for reading Lauren!
