It was so worth the wait - I managed to go on blind, without hearing anything (Not even Otis) and it blew me away. The production is so good, I just realized how bad MBDTF was on the ears sometimes despite the amazing tracks.

Need to listen again to take this in.

Is both WTT and MBDTF in consideration for the grammy's next year?

S1 did his thing on Excellence, he is one of the most underrated producers in the game. Listen to Strange Fruit Project people!!!

we've been talking about how bad MBDTF's mastering was since day 1. the only track that was well-mastered was the violin interlude track.

The mastering on MBDTF is a crime.

Alright, I had my Kanye playlist (243 songs now) on shuffle. After Illest Motherfucker Alive... Street Lights came on from 808s. Street Lights still goes hard but back to watching the throne.

What? Its the truth. I admitted i liked WTT. But honestly, if Cole could trend with just a Mixtape, i would hope a Jay/Kanye album would trend.

How is HAM "not on the album"? Great song. Niggas in Paris has the most replays by far

Lots of Will Ferrel shout-outs. When did Kanye start saying "Sweet Baby Jesus"?

Pretty good album, so much better than all the other new shit out today

Niggas in Paris, Who Gon Stop Me, and Murder to Excellence are my favs.

So far this album is looking hashtag classic and possibly AOTY, but then again the year is only 2/3 done.

HAM was a garbage song, it shouldn't even been on the deluxe album.

I love how people are complaining about the silence in Illest Motherfucker Alive. I'm winning right now with a Foobar DSP to skip silence in songs. #woop #swag

The verses are completely forgettable but the production is good so that makes up for it a bit. This still isn't touching Oneirology for hip-hop AOTY IMO. Top 10 maybe, but it's only first listen and it's only August so....

Good album but me thinks people need to chill, and give it a couple of hours at least.

I predict.....Who gon stop me will be the Next single (or the one after lift off if they actually do a video for lift off which i think they shouldnt)

also...listening to who gon stop me going into murder to excellence is EXCELLENCE....IT perfectly goes right into it

You guys could also use iTunes to get rid of that silence.

I agree that it doesn't touch Oneirology, that album is just on another level in terms of production and lyrics.

I still have Oneriology as my hip-hop AOTY. But WTT is up there. And throw Kendrick Lamar - Section.80 up there too.

Everyone needs to listen to the deluxe version. The regular version is a disservice to the fans. The Joy, Illest Motherfucker, Primetime, and H.A.M. are all dope tracks.

When people are talking about individual songs, I think that says more than much.

Impressive for Cole though, it really is.

This is me right now:

I knew you were gonna cosign that the second I saw the backpack love. Oneirology was great but it got old for me- too one note. WTT has a dog for every mood, and better yet, it slaps like a mother.

Welp, did a quick listen through since I dont have time today. Favorites seem to be

No Church, Ni**as in Paris, Who Gon Stop Me, Murder to Excellence, Why I Love You So. Bonus tracks tomorrow.

Why I Love You So may be my favorite. Shit knocks

Yeah, i admit its more to my taste. But it really is a better album. I agree WTT bangs more, but that doesn't ever enter my mind as criteria for AOTY.
