Call me crazy, but I might agree.
Well, at least Yeezus, is more fun to listen to than MBDTF.
I was going to post this yesterday. Didn't get a chance to listen to it yet though :/
10/10 modern classic.
I agree with him. Yeezus was more concise and mixed better, and i liked that it wasn't flooded with vocal features like MBTBDTF. 808s is really only good for the singles, but I think it's influential, you can see a lot of its DNA in Future etc.
Honestly XXX and Hybrid is his best work beyond his previous mixtapes. He found his own identity with those two albums.
I was reading about him online and that was mentioned. His past is pretty interesting.
I still gotta give Hybrid a listen. I'll do that soon.
Indeed. You'll enjoy it. I tried listening to his Detroit State of Mind series and it wasn't that good. It reminds me of Kendrick Lamar's mixtapes when he was K.Dot.
Music For Tu Madre, without a doubt, and then his newest Peter Pan Syndrome to follow
took production courses from the same professor as jzone, he was a bit of a local legend.

That's why I was trying to pimp Paul White in here...
I was on the Paul White train with his performance on Rhythm Roulette.

Dude made the shit look easy.
Hmm i could see that. Especially with 808s.

The new Sprite episodes are shit, it's typical this happens just as I discover the series -_-
Kanye has been (particularly) outspoken about 808's since a little before Yeezus I feel.
There is a whole article on Grantland about Still Tippin. Haven't read it yet.
I agree.
Yeah XXX is fucking dope, such a good album. I really liked Old as well but I consider XXX to be the better album overall.
wonder what tf he's doing now...

damn, when the HQ ver of Doc2 at?
Is it actually any good?
I enjoyed the one listen before the stream was taken down. Production was pretty mellow. Will definitely give it another spin when it's on Spotify in a few days.
Who says it didn't leak lol
808s definitely is (or can be)
Went back and listened to it and holy fuck this man's production is fucking incredible.
Yeezus not so much

Granted I haven't heard the vinyl which may sound better, but MBTBBQ's muddy mixing really hurts it. If it was just a boom bap album I'd be relatively fine with it. But that album has so many instruments and nuances. Imagine if Late Registration sounded that bad. ugh.
Honestly it's pretty baffling how that could happen. I haven't read much on the post-production history of the album but Kanye has such a good ear that I thought he'd catch that. Perhaps it was intentional, who knows.

Yeah :/...hopefully they go back to their roots with the series because the new format is garbage. I knonw they'll make more money from doing the Sprite deal, but even the producers seem comfortable with the shit and that audience. Holy mother of pearl. I'll rather see a personal dingy studio with 10 old midis over that shit.
The Just Blaze episode was dope though. Random fact: he found out about Sean Price passing during the taping of the episode, hence why dude was out of place the whole time. Yet he still manage to cook up a banger.

I can't stand how UK rappers sound - that accent kills any attempt at flow for me, 9 times out of 10. But she sounds great to me. Surprisingly smooth.
Listened to the album and Age 101: Drop 4 thanks to your rapup. She's really dope.
