ALLL ABOARD!

edit: Anyone think kanye might gas out of ideas? I hope he don't release a dud.
Ideas, no. But it's gonna be hella hard to top MBDTF. I'm not sure if he can do it so soon, without some shit going on in his life either.

Wut?

Anyways, Kanye West scheduled to perform at CoD XP 2011 in about 10 minutes from now.

Live stream here. Since they've been swearing and shit, and this is CoD, it prob won't be a PG performance either.

I don't think he can dabble too much into WTT without Jay-Z present. but who knows.

Just saw this vid and posted about it in the hip hop thread. I still can't believe Activision got Kanye to do this.

I know... they got em to perform at their COD e3 show when they were pimping black ops. That has to be big money they're throwing around.

I have to see Ye live at least once in my life, while he still has it.

He puts on a fantastic show, but i doubt he will ever top his Glow In The Dark tour, that was fucking crazy.

I would pay so much money to see Common and Kanye just run through Be on stage.
The intro title track to the album specifically.

That beat is fucking GODLIKE, prob my favourite song period off of Be. Ye, you crazy for that one.

Oh I know. It's incredible. Production wise, I'd argue it's Ye's crowning achievement, but I prefer his old style to his new style. Also, I'm now listening to Late Registration, I love Drive Slow.

Did you not know he was performing all of Be at Rock the Bells this year? Because it was amazing.

It's funny how his concept album, which everyone was skeptical about, is the one still replay the most. I'd go like this:
1. 808
2. MBDTF
3. Graduation
4. College Dropout
5. Late Registration

Graduation has great catchy pop production, but man, some of those lyrics are painful, and it feels really shallow next to his other albums. No way I could put it above College Dropout and Late Registration.

Good Morning, Champion, Stronger, Good Life, Flashing Lights, The Glory, and Homecoming are just too good. But I agree, it was shallow lyrically.
 
Damn what a weird ranking college dropout near the bottom? son....

1. College Dropout
2. Late Registration
3. MBDTF
4. 808s
5. Graduation
6. Watch the Throne

It's really fun though, I'll give it that. Especially the songs you listed and Everything I Am.

1. Late Registration
2. College Dropout
3. MBDTF
4. Graduation
5. 808s
I like them all, and 2 and 3 are a bit interchangeable for me atm.

  1. Late Registration
  2. College Dropout
  3. MBTDF
  4. WTT
  5. Graduation
  6. 808's
  7. Dame Dash Presents: The Dream Team

I struggled with placement of MBTDF, I should put it under WTT due to the overproduction, but Kanye was trying something new so I cut it some slack. I think 808's is great, but the others have more memorable songs IMO.

MBDTF = WTT
Graduation = 808s

It's really hard to rate the last 4 for me. MBDTF just felt like such a passionate and heartfilled project, I struggle to put it under WTT, which is sometimes just more fun and awesome to listen to. None of these albums are bad though, which is the real story here. 6 good to classic albums in what, 7 years? amazing.

MBDTF > CD = LR > Graduation > WTT > 808s

I had trouble placing Graduation and WTT; they both have some tracks that I like and some that I hate. MBDTF, CD and LR are all great. 808s is not good at all.
I think I already ranked them in this thread once, but whatever.
