hell to the yes.
One of my favorites for this year.
The only thing that bothers me at times is how she tries to push her voice to a place where she can't deliver properly and that shows at times.

Reading some of the initial reactions to 808s and Heartbreak is pretty fun. There's some people who REALLY didn't like Auto-Tune. I guess it turned me off the album a little bit initially as well, but I really like it now. The album reminds me a little of David Bowie's Low. Street Lights is a fantastic song.
I've got a XPS 15 and it's great. I don't use the webcam at all, though I can see how the placement could suck.
edit: Randomly heard an OutKast song yesterday and remembered that I've wanted to listen to them for a while, what's a good place to start?

I've between listening to it. Very well put together album.
I'm just not a fan of her voice on a lot of these songs. I keep thinking about how much more I would enjoy this if someone like kalela was doing the vocals.
I can definitely see why its such a hihghly regarded album after looking at the reviews & such. I'll keep listening though.

808s is beautiful. I think as a by-product of a traumatic event, it's amazing. It's very evident how much emotion was poured into the record; you actually here grief, pain, loneliness, all these myriad of emotions. It's a really interesting work to look at and just think about, and rivals something like "Blackstar" as great albums born out of trauma. As an album in a vacuum, it's not the best album Kanye's made, but to put Kanye albums in a vacuum is to strip most of the meaning out of them. It's really cool to see how Kanye recognizes his life is so overwhelmingly public and constructs albums to make use of that.
I'd always say go chronologically for any artist you're listening too for the first time. Most of Kast's albums are classics so really regardless of where you start, you're listening to some good stuff.

Yeah Kid Cudi really went in on 808s.
You really can't go wrong with either ATLiens or Aquemini. Both 10/10 timeless albums.
Digs really ain't all that breh

You're likely right, but ever since he got famous off of "Hamilton", I gotta rep him all the way since I liked him before America did.
He's lowkey the 21st century version of Busta Rhymes.
...and ignored. How dare you have an opinion that is contrary to mine?
For what it's worth, I like clipping. Splendour and Misery was...not great, but I really like CLPPNG and even midcity, though midcity's propensity for noisier production is a negative in my book. Daveed can rap the hell out of verses, and "Story 2" is a phenomenal song. I just don't think the band has had widely-accepted "classic" yet, but they definitely have the potential for it.

As in both him and Busta got famous for their ability to rap really fast with different rhyme schemes. Also, Busta weirdly has more filmography credits than I thought. It's not a perfect metaphor, okay?
She definitely doesn't have a super commanding vocal presence and maybe in the context of different production that'd be a problem. But the Soulquarian sound running through the album suits her really well

For me, the hallmark of Busta Rhymes is his gonzo, over the top style. Never got that from Clipping.
Anyway, I think I have enough Kanye West songs I like to make at least a top ten or something. His albums for me have always been mixed overall for me, kind of like Drake. Meh, YMMV.

I want to move to Europe. At least they have better designed cities and don't just fucking sprawl everything.
Fuck national populism. Fuck the pollsters. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Theresa May.
The political elite are / were oblivious to how they have alienated ordinary people over many decades. The chickens have come home to roost but it wasn't supposed to be like this.
Canada looking real sane now.

We need Hip Hip more than ever now. Let's use this music to try making a positive impact on everyone around us.
There's going to be a lot of corny rap the next 4 years tbh
