It's my favorite album by him at this point, which says a lot considering how much I love Black On Both Sides. But I really think that The Ecstatic captures who Yasiin really is more than any of his other works. His global perspective, his freewheeling spirit while still being focused

@joelanderson.bsky.social yeah, he's intentionally taken it off of DSPs. He spoke about it this last year too IIRC, in an interview with Cutting Room Floor (same interview where he had the controversial Drake comments). Paraphrasing, "certain stuff I'll put on DSPs, but that one is too dear to me"

I've been in this industry for 20 years, and the experience is consistently, "I would love that job...oh wait, that job doesn't exist anymore."

Attention is his currency more than anything. Laughing at him and laughing with him are functionally the same thing
