Mercy is up on iTunes.

 

[Ashhong]

Mercy is up on iTunes.

Wow, they are seriously on time with this "Good Friday" track. I remember waiting until Saturday/Sunday for the Good Friday track. I guess it's different with this since its a real single release.

Well, this time it ain't free.

G.O.O.D Music - Mercy (Radio Rip)

I've rarely been more proud to be Scottish than hearing this!

Represent!

Ya dobbers!

What happened to the time when Kanye West produced songs that were good?

 

[rozay]

This is kinda mediocre, but I only like 2/4 artists on the song from the start so not unexpecte

 

[cacophony]

What happened to the time when Kanye West produced songs that were good?

you realize neither mercy or theraflu were produced by kanye?

 

[Discotheque]

Mehh, I liked MBTDF and some tracks on Watch the Throne.

But these two songs are kinda wack as fuck.

Aiight I like the beat on the last 2 minutes of Mercy. That's about all I can say on this shit. They weren't even trying.

 

[cacophony]

damn no one here can appreciate a good banger. not everything has fucking groundbreaking

 

[BobDylan]

Mercy is pretty hot after a few listens. Pretty raw feeling on the beat for the most part, similar to WTT. I dont know if any album will ever give me the same feeling as when I listen to MBDTF. Album was unreal

 

[Horse Detective]

I can never seem to get into Kanye's newer stuff, or whatever he seems to be involved in.
His style changes a lot. :/

 

[njean777]

What happened to the time when Kanye West produced songs that were good?

He never stopped, mercy and theraflu were not produced by him.

 

[Ashhong]

I can understand the confusion though. His musical style overall, whether it be what he produces or what he raps over, has changed dramatically.

It seems like every style has had a theme thus far though, right?

Graduation-electronic
808's- Autotune/electronic
Dark Twisted- Gritty/rock

Throne-?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

don't like it.

 

[DominoKid]

damn Mercy is the swag anthem now that i'm listening to it in my workout.

Maybe, but it's not just the beat imo. His whole style has changed with WTT and now GOOD Album. He's become this badass rapper dude who brags about everything. I'm ok with it, just pointing it out. I did prefer his lighter music though.

 

[Westlo]

Really miss the soul samples/chipmunk era of Kanye... man Kanye/Just Blaze/Heatmakers... that was an era to remember.

The whole industry (at least, mainstream) is moving away from samples partly because copywright law is horrible fucking swamp now. You can delay your album just clear them, and when it does ship, you'll still get sued.

 

[Bill Squabber]

Sean's verse was much worst.




Corny as fuck

Kanye had the worst verse for sure. That's saying something..

 

[overcast]

Definitely not. Big Sean.. holy shit.. so bad.

That was quite a problem back in the day as well... I remember hearing one Dipset track by Heatmakers that sampled a theme from "Coming to America", was hype.. than the album came out and the sample didn't clear and the interpolation was nowhere near as good. So many good tracks were left on the shelf because of these issues.. Freeway's best song by far in Night Shuft which was done by Just Blaze.. and so many others.

So yeah I can see why they made the shift... but damn I miss those days.. Kanye and Just Blaze (he still alive? lol) as well haven't been anywhere near as good since.

 

[Ashhong]

I still want to hear Kanye's beats sampling Popular and that Living So Italian song.

 

[overcast]

I want to hear Living So Italian so damn badly. I hate everything.

 

[cacophony]

Just Blaze (he still alive? lol) as well haven't been anywhere near as good since.

just blaze still kills

self-made? lord knows? i love my bitches & exhibit c

 

[DominoKid]

aw goddamnit why did yall have to bring up Living So Italian.

ugh.

 

[Bill Squabber]

Definitely not. Big Sean.. holy shit.. so bad.

Please give another listen to Kanye's verse, that shit was new era lil wayne bad. Big sean's verse wasn't very good but it was better than Ye's.

 

[JAVK]

.

 

[staticneuron]

Not feeling Mercy at all. Digging Theraflu thou.

Agreed. I am going to pretend I just didn't hear that and wait for his next single.

 

[Ken Masters]

ahh that came out wrong. I like the song, but

yknow what just fuck 2 chainz, thats all

2chaaaaaainz was better then big Sean on the track

 

[MThanded]

SWERVE

Dat sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWhCgE6ZkSk&feature=player_embedded

 

[LightOfTruth]

Theraflu is awesome, but Mercy is a disappointment.

 

[Gazzawa]

Diggin Mercy. Definitely vibes from 808s (dark theme wise) but with dat MBDF flair.

 

[louis89]

you realize neither mercy or theraflu were produced by kanye?

I'm glad to hear that. Because Kanye is such a talented producer it would disappoint the hell out of me if this is what he had become.

Both of these songs suck.

 

[Miggytronz]

Damn Mercy is great, besides Kanye's verse and beat change. wtf.

 

[enzo_gt]

Damn Mercy is great, besides Kanye's verse and beat change. wtf.

I'm not a fan of the beat change either.

I know Ye really fucks with those switch ups and stuff, but it's so out of place, unlike on WTT IMO.

I can see why people would dislike both Theraflu and Mercy though, Mercy especially is different from Kanye, moreso than just a new style.

 

[MightyHealthy]

yknow what just fuck 2 chainz, thats all

No.

[Ashhong]

Thats the best part, wtf?

 

[rozay]

Thats the best part, wtf?

I didn't care for the beat switch up at all, at least with regards to the vibe of the rest of the song.

 

[Miggytronz]

I didn't care for the beat switch up at all, at least with regards to the vibe of the rest of the song.

yeah this.

 

[Ashhong]

You guys cray. Love that switch up

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Theraflu is awesome, but Mercy is a disappointment.

+1

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Fuck 2Chainz

 

[Princess Carl]

I'm really having trouble liking the direction he seems to be sticking with.

I don't know if the term is overproduced but I really wish we had some pre-808's (Not hating 808s) Kanye production/lyrics in the future.

It's bumming me out.


Edit: Didn't realize he didn't produce them, please disregard ha.
