When the hell is Birds in the Trap gon' drop? That's what I wanna know.

Also: have you by any chance revisited Pablo since agreeing to do so?


If not (or if so, whatever) make sure you listen to that shit in these two essential environments:
1. In the car with a decent system and the audio settings tweaked to bring out the bass but with the mid and treble still quite high.
2. On headphones ... I didn't listen to the "final" mix on headphones until fairly recently, and there's a whole lot of shit going on that's easy to miss if you listen any other way. For instance, I didn't realize until, like, the day before yesterday, that "Famous" contains a recurring sample of Nina Simone's "I've loved you better than you're own kin did... I just wanted you to know" playing on loop throughout pretty much the entire song. It's extremely soft and subtle and actually damn near impossible to notice unless you're paying attention, but it really has a powerful overall effect. Throughout the bam-bam section, Nina's singing away in a ghost whisper loop at the very bottom of the track, and it's almost revelatory when you notice it. It's like it puts a sheen on the song, and keeps the whole thing grounded despite its fragmented parts.

I don't think this effect was in the early versions. But it's there, mark my words. And it's glorious.

Wow, that's saying something. You got it man. I'll put it on first chance I get. I've been meaning to find some rap treasures to fall in love with again. But I feel no desire to play any Wu (for SOME reason).

I shall listen and get back to you. I expect to be absolutely disgusted.

I never heard that Nina Simone sample in my car or in my game room. Damn. I only listen on headphones when I'm at the supermarket, and that's usually jazz haha.

When I first heard it I thought someone was singing the song, like, right next to me in a really low voice... I was blasting "Famous" on my headphones and I thought someone was fucking with me for a second. Then I stopped what I was doing and really listened, and I was kind of blown away. That song has always just really appealed to me, and I think that loop may have been kind of affecting me on a subliminal level. Once I actually heard it, I just thought it was beautiful.

TLOP is not really the sloppy mess Kanye wants it to be. It's a deceptively intricate album.

This album still doesn't do much for me, sorry. Some great moments here and there, but overall.. no. The mixing didn't make much difference. At least I tried.

Great project. "Girls @" with Chance is actually the weakest song.

Well, thanks for trying. Glad you at least appreciate some parts of it that you didn't before.

Still my hands down album of the year though.

True. Famous finally hit me and I can agree with y'all that it's an amazing song (especially due to the production). Probably the best on the album.

That's understandable. I get why other people love it so much, it's just my personal opinion.

Speaking of OutKast, I listened to Aquemini today, and I remembered louder saying that Bey's "All Night" sampled "SpottieOttieDopaliscious."

I'm, like 100% certain that the two horn parts are not the same. Straight up. Partly because of the major key changes in the "All Night" that just a aren't there in the reggae-derived horn loop in "Spottie..." (See the chorus at 2:30-2:40, and you'll hear notes and phrasing that aren't in "Spottie" at all).

So I just wanted to throw that out there. I DO know that people from both Bey and OutKast camps noticed the similarities between the horn parts, and that OutKast was given a post-release songwriting credit that appears on all pressings of the album except for the first.

But... It's not a direct sample of the song. It has a very similar sound, but the key is different, and the recording of the horns is very obviously of a higher quality on "All Night."

Anyway, not trying to be a dick, but that's my verdict and I stand by it after listening to the songs back to back a few times. I thought it sounded odd that the horns came from Spottie, but I held my tongue cause y'all tend to know more about this shit than I do.

Both excellent songs, though.

Yeah "Famous" has pretty much been my pick since the streaming event. It made my jaw drop. But "Fade" has really, really, really grown on me. It's like the most powerful 3 minutes of music I've ever heard. It sounds fucking electromagnetic. Like the pressure and building tension are just going to shut the world off. It kicks fucking ass.

Yeah I initially assumed they were sampled, but they weren't, they just happened to be like, really similar.

Sorry, I didn't mean to go off like I was calling you out or something. I assumed you were right. I just happened to listen to the song and went "wait a tick!"

Still, they're similar enough for Bey to make sure OutKast had a writing credit, to avoid any legal bumfuckery. That was pretty cool on her part. Not that OutKast would have made a big thing out of it... It was just courteous.

BTW "All Night" is still one of my favorite songs of the year, and def. my fav on Lemonade. Just sayin'
