The most needy pop stars are past-it pop stars! I'm thinking Geri Halliwell, Robbie Williams et al here, though maybe I'm being harsh cuz I kind of hated them in the first place. And Kanye definitely isn't past it; Graduation is easily my least favourite of his albums but the best stuff on it is as interesting and addictive as before.
It's amazing how quickly Kanye's become a star (of whatever sort); it was only a few years ago he was just some back room hip-hop producer. I think that accelerated star-making process is kind of important here but I'm too tired to really think about why.
