Can you elaborate please?

I haven't heard the album, and I'm on the fence about buying it.

But if it's going to be similar to MBDTF where Kanye continually drops devil/satan references and/or continually dismisses Jesus/Christianity out of sheer arrogance, then I'll just pass.

I'm not a religious nut, and I don't want to come off as one, but I do have beliefs.

MBDTF was an album I really wanted to like (and easily could have, production was amazing imo) but it was just a real turn off to hear lines like "make a nun cum" and "satan, satan, etc" all over the album.

I'd hate for this album to be a repeat of that.

I love the "make a nun cum" line...

Anyway, why not just take a listen on youtube? Frank Ocean repeats "We made it in America...sweet baby Jesus" on that track. Haven't had enough time to really listen to the lyrics but it doesn't seem very satanical.

“Hello, hello, hello, White America, assassinate my character
Money matrimony, yeah, they tryna break the marriage up
Who gon’ act phonier? Who gon’ try to embarrass ya?
I’ma need a day off, I think I’ll call Ferris up”
— Kanye West

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I don't dislike Lift Off as much as I did yesterday. It's growing on me.

 

[Swag]

I love the "make a nun

One of the best songs of last year, top 3 of the album.

Seriously? If anything it's the complete opposite of that.

Always need one radio joint on every album; it's not THAT bad.

 

[JackEtc]

You know it's a great album when nobody gets angry over three minutes of silence... Who else could pull that off?

I don't agree with the "great" album part, put I just went into Audacity and got rid of the silence, lol.

 

[Kaizer]

SMH

you mothafuckas could at least wait a few weeks to see how songs wear on you before proclaiming such things. seems like people are mistaking "newer and fresher" for "artistically better".

As much as that's probably true, I didn't really enjoy MBDTF from Day One of its' release and after months of listening to it, it still doesn't impress me. I just couldn't get with the vibe of that album at all. Only real songs that impressed me were Gorgeous, All of the Lights & Lost in the World, but it's still "Meh" overall. So for me to immediately like Watch The Throne puts it higher than MBDTF in my eyes.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Finally listened from front to back, I like it a lot. I can listen to HAM now.

[Ashhong]

It's pictures like that where you can really appreciate the amount of work he must do. Goddamn.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

and yet with all that technology, they still tend to fucking fail at mastering with all sounds and volume blown out for no reason at all.

someone explain that shit.

 

[q_q]

No Church in the Wild probably has the simplest yet most badass beat I've heard this year.

 

[DominoKid]

did somebody else master the 4 bonus tracks. they sound like they're going to rip through my speakers

the regular album tracks sound delicious.

 

[Ashhong]

did somebody else master the 4 bonus tracks. they sound like they're going to rip through my speakers

I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Cousteau]

Very early impression is that it's a little over produced for my tastes.Some of the changes do nothing for the songs.

 

[enzo_gt]

Kanye's latest Rant. Well, it's not a rant really at all. But the STFU at the end is funny.

I swear Kanyes an idiot.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Fucking auto tune on the first song.........

 

[dustytruly]

I swear Kanyes an idiot.

an idiot for getting PUBLICITYYYYY??? nah this man is playing everyone

 

[Recon]

No, this isn't even gonna get him much publicity. He always goes on rants saying dumb shit.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Did no one else notice the Xbox?

 

[dustytruly]

No, this isn't even gonna get him much publicity. He always goes on rants saying dumb shit.

meh... he doesn't always say he's like hitler. i think this is kind of intentional, on the wake of watch the throne... but you're right, it's hard to tell if he's really just a dumbass

 

[Recon]

meh... he doesn't always say he's like hitler. i think this is kind of intentional, on the wake of watch the throne... but you're right, it's hard to tell if he's really just a dumbass

Im sure the hitler line was for publicity, but really, like i said before, he does this shit all the time. It sounds really damn corny too.

 

[SUPREME1]

DJ HERO

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

When is MC-gaf going to go on these beats?


I am now waiting on "Gaf Presents: Wash The Throne"

someone explain that shit.

It's not the technology's fault...it's guys like this:

Vlado Meller

who fuck it up in the end.

 

[Knux-Future]

This is a fun album.

Just have fun guys.

Some of you are so serious.

 

[SUPREME1]

BLACK COPS

"...cause your wins low"

Great eye

 

[zychi]

Fucking auto tune on the first song.........

kanye has been using autotune since college dropout. he and t-pain made it cool to use in rap.

 

[SephCast]

Did no one else notice the Xbox?

Kanye plays Blops confirmed.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Fucking auto tune on the first song.........

Nothing's wrong with it if it's used in moderation.

 

[Bishman]

Worth the Wait....soo good.

The song in the background is H.A.M.

Kanye's latest Rant. Well, it's not a rant really at all. But the STFU at the end is funny.

lol what a moron. He's great at whining but that's a given with the whiney sound of his voice.

 

[Acid08]

THAT'S MY BITCH

omg this fucking song

 

[Sai-kun]

THAT'S MY BITCH

omg this fucking song

song of forever

 

[enzo_gt]

THAT'S MY BITCH

omg this fucking song

I liked the leaked version better because it had two of the full choruses and went on longer ;_;

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Kanye's latest Rant. Well, it's not a rant really at all. But the STFU at the end is funny.

He had an especially annoying one when I saw him at the glow in the dark tour.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Same. Even though it was pretty rough leak, the levels seemed better.

 

[Korey]

I liked the leaked version better because it had two of the full choruses and went on longer ;_;

Same, the final one seems weaker for some reason. I guess that could be said about the whole album...blah.

I enjoyed Lift Off yesterday but I can't even see that taking off as a radio hit. It's not really about anything and not that interesting, I don't see it staying alive very long

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Really liking this album now that iTunes has seen fit to give it to me.

No Church in the Wild, Ni**as in Paris (why are the titles censored on explicit copies?), Otis, Murder to Excellence and Why I Love You are my favorites so far, with Why I Love You topping that list. It soars.

 

[Knux-Future]

Ye has a great verse on Primetime.

His verse on Murder to Excellence is also really great too.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Why does everyone love Ni**as in Paris so much? And please don't say that beat. It sounds like something out of a Soulja Boy song.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Anyone here have an invite to waffles.fm or what.cd?

when did they start accepting webrips?!?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Why does everyone love Ni**as in Paris so much? And please don't say that beat. It sounds like something out of a Soulja Boy song.

The beat, especially when it changes towards the end.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Why does everyone love Ni**as in Paris so much? And please don't say that beat. It sounds like something out of a Soulja Boy song.

I don't get it either. I dislike Otis, HAM, and Lift Off more, but still. Ni**as In Paris is on some 2003 crunk sound.

 

[Korey]

Why does everyone love Ni**as in Paris so much? And please don't say that beat. It sounds like something out of a Soulja Boy song.

The beat is horrible.

 

[Knux-Future]

Why does everyone love Ni**as in Paris so much? And please don't say that beat. It sounds like something out of a Soulja Boy song.

It just knocks. It's not supposed to be an indepth song. It just makes you hype.

 

[Uno Venova]

Why does everyone love Ni**as in Paris so much? And please don't say that beat. It sounds like something out of a Soulja Boy song.

After listening to it more and more the beat is starting to wear on me, except for the change up at the end, it's beautiful.
