You don't like Diamonds? Or even Touch the Sky?

see

I think he was saying that those songs are good, but he doesn't like them. I'm going to assume he likes the songs he didn't list. If he didn't like Gone I'm going to flip my switch.

Right. All the ones besides those I listed are at least 8-9/10 songs. And Gone, Diamonds, Gold Digger, Touch the Sky and Drive Slow are all 9-10/10

Oh, I read that wrong.

Well, I could be biased. LR was the first Kanye album that I listened to in its entirety so I kinda put it on a pedestal. ￣ｰ￣

My first Ye album was CD. Only recently surpassed by MBDTF (I can't help it. I fucking love MBDTF. It's one of my top 10 albums PERIOD. All genres.)

 

[Stat Flow]

Don't care enough to listen to this album, but I can't believe people would say MBDTF is better than LR or CD. Those two are obviously Kanye's best albums.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

uhhh...

But... there are pictures of the album in stores/boxes, no?

 

[Represent.]

hiyyaaa then a muthaafuckaa .. hiiiyya then a muthaafuckka

so good.

MA$E >>>>>>

 

[RBelong2Us]

I can see people not all that enamored with hip hop putting shiet like MBDTF and 808s over those two albums.

 

[Ashhong]

On that note, what songs on WTT are 9-10/10?

 

[RBelong2Us]

'gotta have it'.... Thats it

 

[DeadFalling]

I don't want to turn this into a MBDTF thread but for those of you hating on it...

Listen to it this way:

Dark Fantasy (Lacrimosa Movie Edit)
Gorgeous
Power
Good Friday
All of the Lights (Interlude)
All of the Lights
Monster
So Appalled (Manfred Mann Edit)
Christian Dior Denim Flow
Looking For Trouble
Devil In a New Dress
Don't Look Down
Runaway
Hell of a Life
Blame Game (Avril 14th Edit)
Lost In The World
Take One for the Team
See Me Now



Looking at it now, I can see my preference for MBDTF over all other Ye albums might be a bit biased because I'm adding in the GOOD Friday songs and a couple fan edits.

On that note, what songs on WTT are 9-10/10?

No Church, Otis, Gotta Have It, That's My Bitch, Murder to Excellence and Welcome to the Jungle. Maybe Who Gon Stop Me as well.

smh

That's My Bitch

Basically WTT's New God Flow

 

[HiResDes]

The LR placement is also really really odd to me, just really low.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

To The World I think is the best song on the album.

That said...

Is still the best album of the year.

That album doesn't have anything on:

Which makes sense though; no other 2012 album has.

Both Channel Orange and LFTU underwhelmed me as big fans of nostalgia/ULTRA and Return of 4Eva/4eva N A Day,

 

[SteeloDMZ]

What, really? I love KRIT's tapes, but LFTU is a masterpiece.

I still got my sub, ho!

 

[Kaizer]

The Morning and Higher are pretty good. Rae killed that verse.

 

[RBelong2Us]

smh

SMH

 

[Net_Wrecker]

What, really? I love KRIT's tapes, but LFTU is a masterpiece.

I still got my sub, ho!

Nahhhhhh, LFTU is solid, good even, but it's no masterpiece. Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music is probably still the best hip-hop album this year.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

I have listened to Killer Mike's album more than a couple times, and it still doesn't completely click with me. It's good stuff, but it doesn't feel as cohesive and can't touch the highs of LFTU. I think I have bumped KRIT's album over 200 times and it still sounds fresh, no joke.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Nahhhhhh, LFTU is solid, good even, but it's no masterpiece. Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music is probably still the best hip-hop album this year.

I think we can all just agree that it's been a pretty awesome year for rap so far. R.A.P, Cancer 4 Cure, Live From The Underground, G.O.O.D...

also lol no.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

also lol no.

Oh yeah, this is the AOTY, and it isn't even out yet:

BTW, honorable mention to Attack the Block from Talib Kweli x Z-Trip. This is what I'm bumping right now and it's great.

 

[DominoKid]

CORRECT!

 

[ProtoCents]

Mitt Romney don't pay no tak

 

[CRS]

uhhh...

Not believing any of that shit. It's going to be just like the The World Ends With You announcement.

 

[Fjordson]

Oh, I read that wrong.

Well, I could be biased. LR was the first Kanye album that I listened to in its entirety so I kinda put it on a pedestal. ￣ｰ￣

I heard CD before LR, but I'm with you. I honestly think LR is his best. Those first two albums are so far above anything he's done after for me.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Yeah, LR is the best Kanye record to me. He could actually rap about interesting subjects in songs like Diamonds FSL Remix, Dear Mama, etc.

Now it's all bragging, horrible guest verses and pretentious overproduction.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, Late Registration is fucking classic.

Also, as much as I love that Kreayshawn album cover, we all know Ghostface's "Twelve Reasons to Die" is going to outshine every other hip-hop release this year.

 

[Mr Solo Dolo]

Not just saying this because I love Cudi, but damn I love Creepers.

 

[T Dollarz]

Not just saying this because I love Cudi, but damn I love Creepers.

Yeah, I don't see how people don't like that. Sounds like a vintage Cudi track.

 

[enzo_gt]

Damn my memory sucks, what did he do with MBDTF?

When MBDTF leaked, Kanye got pissed and re-did all the songs to sound different. He added all that deep Darkseid voice stuff to Lost In The World, added more vocals and that little end bit to Dark Fantasy, etc.

damn. didnt know that. that album sounded great. im loking forward to buying the physical copy of this one.

 

[HiResDes]

I still got my sub, ho!

It is not a masterpiece, and is probably his worse project.

 

[Baby Milo]

this album sucks

Hope Hudson got payed well for Bliss

 

[enzo_gt]

And don't think the back to back Ghost & Rae verses was an accident

@plainpat

 

[LightOfTruth]

I need to give LR another listen.

 

[Kaizer]

And don't think the back to back Ghost & Rae verses was an accident

@plainpat

Wu-Tang is pretty much extended G.O.O.D. Music family at this point, with RZA on MBDTF & producing on WTT. Rae on MBDTF & Cruel Summer and Ghost also on Cruel Summer.

Meth next plz.

Spoiler

U-GOD-FLOW FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE

 

[Syracuse022]

Honestly, other than the songs we'd heard already (Clique, Mercy, etc.), this album is boring as fuck. I wish Ye hadn't wasted time with this process and had just gotten to work on his solo stuff.

 

[Black Republican]

cant stop listening to Ghostface's verse, so fucking good.

 

[enzo_gt]

Any word on filming videos for the next two singles or otherwise? They need another one ASAP.

 

[Diprosalic]

i rank it above WTT and below all Kanye albums.

 

[Jitters]

This is a really entertaining album. Never gets boring and clocks in at a great time. The production sounds amazing ,and makes up for any verse I didn't like. Probably one of the more enjoyable things I've heard this year.


I'm surprised by some of the unfavorable opinions.

 

[Ragus]

New God Flow, fuck everything else

True, true.

 

[Zoramon089]

True, true.

Song of the year. Well that and Cherry Wine

Hmm why can't I remember that. Surely I was there in the thread when this happened. Was it confirmed that he actually went and changed it because of the leak or was he still working on changes anyway?

I remembered listening to the leaked version of All of the Lights with just drake on the hook (I Think, Can't find it other than the remix version) and Lost In The World. And when that leaked, Kanye got mad and tweeted he's postponing good fridays. Then he went and added all those artists on All of the Lights. But I'm not sure if that's how it went down cause I don't even see it mentioned on the wiki page.

Anyways, Cruel Summer is a solid album. Probably would of been better if I didn't listen to the singles, But the production is what really makes it for me. Now what I don't like is that they place I don't like as the last song. I always saw it as a bonus track.

Yes, I remember, this would have been so much better than what we actually got. Shame.

More or less. Except I don't think he added the guests on AOTL just because his shit was leaking. He stopped GOOD fridays because of that, that's punishment enough for us sinners

 

[enzo_gt]

Pretty sure Ye let out a tweet or something saying he switched everything up so he's gonna give us something fresh. He only changed some tracks, not all of them. So Appalled had like a bridge or something removed from the G.O.O.D. Fridays version, Gorgeous was untouched.

This was closer to the album release than G.O.O.D. Fridays and the original AOTL leaked (that was WAY before even G.O.O.D. Fridays). Remember when the first few songs leaked in really bad quality? I remember Hell of a Life and Dark Fantasy and Lost In The World leaked, and part of Blame Game. First time we ever heard any of these tracks, pre-Runaway too I think.

Regardless, there's no time for that now unless we're talking iTunes bonus tracks.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Clique is awful. So is Colder or whatever the song is called.

First song with R. Kelly is great. So is The morning and Creeper.
