There's elements of it like in the How Much A Dollar Cost outro.
But yeah it's a thin comparison anyway. I think Nibel is off the mark here.

Thought he was gonna be on feedback (idk if he was talking about freestyle 4 or feedback since the names switched?) since he was glad ye put it back in
Gospel or not; I hear TPAB elements in that album and I believe he was influenced by it to a certain degree, just as he is influenced by Future and the current trap sound on some songs, just has he is influenced by current pop alá Rihanna, just as Wiz influenced him to change the album title, just as Chance influenced him to delay the album - and I stand by that. Like I said: compare the development of 2014-2015 Ye and where that sound went compared to what you have here
It's not I am critcizing by any means, I appreciate it

Listened to TLOP last night on my Sonos...
Thought it was pretty terrible; like outright boring as fuck.
Like Real Friends, 30 hours.. that's about it. Despite being a big Weeknd fan (seen him live 4 times), thought FML was mediocre as hell.
Kanye is not interesting enough to do minimalist beats.

In a tragic twist all of my earphones broke and I need new ones. Preferably in-ear with remote and cheap. Any recs?
I don't even listen to kanye like that, breh.

I love Kanye.
I just bought some Xiaomi Piston IIIs, they seem like the absolute best value for the ~$20 price range. Sound is great. Do you research and be wary of fakes, though.
Be warned I bought these 4 months ago and they were perfect, but my pair had a defect and it started electrocuting me in my right ear. They were direct from amazon too so they were legit.
I also had Piston II's which imo had better bass.
Mine kind of do this already lol, not a big deal to me though, happens super occasionally. Unless this is a sign of it about to break.
Yeah I remember HRD mentioning the IIs being better for rap, but they're harder to find real ones for a decent price in Canada.
Thugga making SS3 cover look similar to EVOL cover with the dying roses & plants.
Don't pay attention to these guys.
Start with Barter 6 then Slime Season 1 then Slime Season 2 then I'm Up.
Barter 6 and Slime Season 2 is some of the best hip-hop of 2015.

Two AOTY contenders in the second month of 2016.
I copped SS1 and threw it on the phone to listen to while I go grab some last minute V-Day shit for the girl. Will listen to Barter 6 later tonight if I get the chance.
I'm currently using Apple EarPods, the free ones that come with iPhone. Tell me more about these Xiaomi because I'm also in the market for cheap in-ear headphones. I only listen to hip-hop. I was considering those SoundMagic E10S with remote but at £40 it may be a bit much for me.
EDIT: This Hong Kong seller is selling Piston 3's for only £3.79 & free delivery. 6 weeks+ for delivery though.

Fade needs to be a minute longer.
Fans hyping up an unfinished concept in their head, then it gets rebooted with the main themes still intact, released as an Early Access version, and now it will be improved and finished based on fan-feedback partially.

The leaked pics of Kendrick rehearsing for the Grammy's look fucking crazy.
Can't wait.
Can't wait.
Sweet!! There's one ebayer selling a batch of the II's for £16 and he's in my country. He promises, promises, promises that they're genuine. I'm assuming the remote works fine on iPhone?
I crossed checked the packaging with everything available online once I got it too
Everything checked out, still ended up electrocuting me. Just think my unit was defective though.
Mate, its only £3 and from honk kong? Do you really need us to tell u these are fake?!
To be fair II's never did that to me
And the audio quality was immaculate for the 8 months the II's lasted and the 4 the III's lasted. I'm a heavy user though, headphones in 70% of the day and earbuds wear out very fast. Also wore them during gym sessions, and when it would rain (with a hoodie on ofc) but water prolly killed the II's for me.
That SS3 cover is pretty dope lol.
Rest of it isn't terrible imo, but I dunno...doesn't feel like a Kanye album. Just a bunch of demos or half-finished ideas with weird guest spots (Desiigner lol).
Real Friends and 30 Hours are definitely my two favourites. I've played 30 Hours like 20 times already.

Forgot to vent my disappointment with the new Majid Jordan.
Shoulda capped it at 5 tracks again, at most 6, and threw in the instrumentals from OVO Sound ep 4.

Over-ear? I have a pair of HD 598's that sound pretty amazing and are super comfortable. Had them for a year now and would easily recommend them without any reservations. They even look good imo.
Des will probably have more insight into this, though.
Yeah, as a full length it's inconsistent. The highs are pretty nice though, has a great late-night vibe.
Apparently it sold under 5K? OVO as a label seems like sort of a mess for non-Drake artists..
Yeah. If it's too good to be true...it usually is.

Damn that sucks. They shouldnt have kept releasing each track of their album for weeks before the launch. I have been streaming them a lot so hope some of that Spotify $$$ makes its way to them.
The highs are definitely great. "Learn from Each Other", "Day and Night", "Every step every way", and "King City" are solid. The rest are pretty forgettable and brings down the project overall.

Sitting here listening to the original 2000 version of Bubba Sparxxx's "Dark Days, Bright Nights"
Pretty damn good really. Not missing Timbo at all (despite his good work on the official release) and I forgot this redneck could flow

What's with the brand loyalty, the 598s are technically great but the bass is so neutral it's borderline anemic. I'd recommend figuring out a hard line budget, whether you want open or closed headphones and describing what kind of music you mainly listen to to get the best recommendation. Sennheiser makes plenty of mediocre shit too.

I haven't had any reason to upgrade from my 595s but I don't think they're in production anymore
Terrible was my first impression; going to listen in my ride a few times.. but I definitely didn't jump on any of these songs as "amazing" like others did.
The pattern I noticed was: minimilast beats with like a minute to nearly 2 minute buildup to being slightly less minimal...I can handle minimilasm, I can handle songs with buildiup.. but these songs just bored me.
People have been shitting themsleves for ULB for instance since it first streamed... I'm left just thinking "Wut?" The Chance part is... ok.
I had the chance to compare them to my Fidelio X1 and I gotta say while they technically might be a tad cleaner given their near perfect treble the bass on them is so unexciting that I don't think I could ever go back to them.
