You know, the dude got famous on this idea. He writes awesome songs, don’t get me wrong, but how many articles were written on the premise that he was working on this insane project? Certainly, his record ended up in the hands of a few more DJs and a lot more consumers because of it, so perhaps he shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the idea that’s given him the creative freedom to mess around with weird multimedia projects.
