I don't know where it fits into whatever you've got going on here, but Drake has said publicly over and over that Phonte is one of his biggest influences as an MC.Hey Esch, thoughts on 9th Wonder saying Drake told him that Phonte birthed his style?

speaking of Ye's next album, this tweet has me thinking: https://twitter.com/DragonflyJonez/status/523250424904974336
using this line of thought, what if Bound 2 serves as the transition to this new album?

Yes, because Who Will Survive In America is the perfect transition to On Sight.

Bound 2 was supposed to be the opener of Yeezus fyi
srs
I can't remember where I read it but I remember Kanye saying that he opens his albums a certain way or something and that if he had opened Yeezus like he traditionally does then Bound 2 would have been the first song.

so glad it wasn't - you'd kick the doors in with the best track that way, would've made the rest of it kinda fall flat in comparison
lmao gotcha

hey the momentary beat switch up in On Sight is the highlight
less than half joking lol
I just revisited it the other day as well, yeah great fucking album. Back down still makes me want to go smash someone's head in.
To me What Up Gangsta is right up there as strongest introduction along w/ Lord Willin and Its Dark and Hell is Hot.

Great album
Eminem has the strongest guest verse
Many Men is still one of the realest songs
Yeah Patiently Waiting and Don't Push me are goat.

Now if you say my name in your rhyme
You better what, watch what you say
You get carried away, you can get shot and carried away
Now here's a list of MC's that can kill you in eight bars
50, umm Jay-Z and Nas
I'ma say this shit now and never again
We ain't buddies, we ain't partners and we damn sure ain't friends
The games you playin', you get killed like that
Actin' like you all hard, you ain't built like that
See me when you see me nigga, one

I feel like #FactsOnly is a subtle Nas diss, insinuating that Ether was full of fabrications when in reality Rocafella really did die of AIDs, Jay wanted to be on It Was Written, and Eminem did murder him on his own shit.

I liked french montana's album more than mastermind. They were both solid but not great albums
Hey bb, stay posi.
Terrible post.
Infinite Eminem was a shitty Illmatic monkey rhythm rapper flippy cover band. I don't like any era of his, but before he was molded by Iovine he had no song concepts, he was trash with no direction. Like Big L with no swag and none of the gawd-tier punchlines.
Well, Bound 2 might fall in line with how some reports say a lot of the songs Ye is playing right now are a "throwback," which Bound 2 very much is. Still will probably have drums that pump a bit more.speaking of Ye's next album, this tweet has me thinking: https://twitter.com/DragonflyJonez/status/523250424904974336

Ye actually said explicitly, he knew people would fuck with the album more if he opened with that song as a bombastic jam, so he put the most abrasive, left field song first.
Blood On The Leaves is probably the 2nd worst song off of Yeezus after Bound 2 TBH. Kind of appreciate how he added to the original TNGHT beat, but I find the autotune at the end increasingly grating.

Infinite is pretty boring if you have a hip hop IQ but the title track and It's Ok are still my jams.
We're about 10 years away from official hip hop sites naming Infinite the best rap album of 1996. The #shift is coming brehs.

I used to occasionally spark up to Tonite because it's kind of like a fun cheery song about nothing with a bubbly beat, but the rest of Infinite is pretty crap. At least after he got Linkin Park'd he made songs with more passion, better concepts, more distinctive production, etc. Overall it's like a 5-6/10 album though, totally forgettable, might as well listen to Canibus.

yup, ross was very much in his element
beat selection is excellent too
i wouldn't say trash but yes the difference is definitely night and day between pre- and post-Slim Shady EP
there are some gems on Infinite though
too far lol

diggin that, thanks Kastrioti
okay id dig a version with the autotune last minute & a half or whatever cut out for sure (just the beat & nina sample would flow so good) but fuckouttahere with this; Blood is the best track on Yeezus and that grating shit aside reaches a height that MBDTF doesn't quite catch, one of the reasons i kinda dump on that album (plus the coalition of hip hop bloggers that convinced ya'll it was this flawless opus or some shit makes me step up the backlash a la MGS4 on gaming side).
also whenever Infinite is gassed up like it's a real gem i assume it's like Com fans who do that with Can I Borrow A Dollar: i mean, okay, there's some tracks & it deserves a footnote but with stuff like Resurrection/Like Water for Chocolate etc actually showing a refined style, his original shit doesn't age nearly as well so i figure either you don't really dig dude's body of work or just like saying that shit because people safely assume the premier work = best all around
