perhaps i'm more excited about the album than i should be. the production is gonna be incredible though, now it's all up to Hov himself. although great rappers like Nas, Jay, Ghost, etc.. never really fall off. they go through wack periods then bounce back strong. |
i just finished listening to the Black Album and put on Blueprint for the first time in a while. feels so good.

Can you believe all this hating? It's like: Fuck Kanye because he's cocky and has a style that's.. Like... Not what I'm used to" Since when did being cocky become the seventh deadly sin of rapping? In case no one noticed, cockiness is perhaps the only feature that all rappers share, regardless of cadence (one more time... If I hear that word one more time my head will implode), delivery, or style? Name a humble rapper. Kanye is actually extremely humble at times, and incredibly down to earth and genuine more often than anyone would think. Though he does seem to be going a bit militant right now. Whatever, fuck it, new Kanye, new day to blast it into my brain. Good times. |
yeah i saw people going like "the new Kanye SUCKS. this shit ain't music, it's just NOISE. fuck it, i'm gonna listen to the new Statik Selektah EP, now there's REAL HIP-HOP". only makes me like it more, honestly. :D

Speaking up ups and downs, Jay hasn't had a "down" since Vol. 2, and even that was 50% badass. I don't think we really need to worry. Though the fact that he's catering to such a specific retailer, and essentially joining in the fight against Apple by branding his shit, does not exactly please me. Samsung is awful. |

It is pretty goddamn noisy though. I imagine it's fairly close to what Fear of a Black Planet would sound like, if released in the Facebook era. |
you'd expect Bound 2 to be Kanye's typical apologetic song after hearing the soul sampled hook. but this joint is actually hard as fuck. "i wanna fuck you hard on the sink" - i laughed. perfect album ending. Kanye absolutely gives no fucks at all on this album.

i'm not hating on that fact that you don't like it, i'm hating on how misguided you are. this album is about the music and it's probably his worst lyrically so when you give it accolades for its lyrics then put down the music it doesn't really make much sense in context. and... east coast styles? what has that got to do with kanye? what the hell are you talking about? you're full of shit and have always been full of shit. stop being so narrow minded. |
Quote:
 Always full of shit now? So this went from being about Kanye to just being shit talking on me? You're hilarious homie, keep speaking the real, its impressive to see you let your nutz hang like this ;) |
have you guys already noticed how dope is King L's verse on Send It Up? i wish it wasn't so fucking short.

downloading now.

"Yeezus" is bangin, not as perfect, or epic, or as beautiful as "Twisted Fantasy," but a quick blast ox experimental tinged industrialist bombast. His boldest statement thus far, and in my opinion works much better than his other out of nowhere album "808 and Heartbreak."
Really diggin this Denino Farrar as well http://www.factmag.com/2013/06/18/do...-patriarch-ii/ |

Nobody's talking shit about you. I was sincerely replying to your "what's so great about this guy" question. I thought-- perhaps because your comments sounded so eerily familiar I had to convince myself that an old quote of mine wasn't being re-earthed to show my hip hop flip floppery-- that.. (thank you ;) ) ... that maybe we shared some basic sensibilities about the difference between good-ok and "Great" music. |

Truth be told I agree about the lyrics. He's taking a page from the Trent Reznor book of blunt and obvious angry guy lyrics, set against complex and intricate music and production. It was a little weird at first, especially since Kanye's always had such a knack for simile... But, as it usually did for Trent, it fuckin' works. I actually think NIN, Aphex Twin, and Mouse on Mars come closer to sounding like contemporaries of Yeezus than any hip hop artist I can think of. But yes- as great as this album is (and yeah, it's god my balls right now; I lost 'em, Yeezy took 'em), it's a great lyrical departure from Kanye as we've known him. I think it's musically explosive, though, and extremely raw and unnerving. I respect the hell out of him for this one. |
^Funny. I had always compared Dark Twisted to Downward Spiral. :\
|
Oh, and I picked up the *last* copy of the Yeezus at my go-to record store- place that generally reserved shelf space for post punk, noise, jazz, and shoe gaze- after work today. (Really doing the no cover whatsoever thing, huh? Ok!)
This is a good sign. It means that the people who buy great music are making lunch break runs to pick up this album. So... Not sure how he's fairing at Best Buy, but I also don't give a shit. |
