[Gareth Bale]

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.

Funnily enough, that's the part of the song I actually do like.

 

[enzo_gt]

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's pretty much the opposite of a Soulja Boy song. Probably the high point of the album too.

The beat is fucking bonkers, and the rhymes go hard.

If anything it's some of the most based cooking music ever.

That shit cra-

 

[Diablos54]

Just about to listen to this, haven't been too hyped since H.A.M so let's see what it's like.

I fucking love the beat :lol

 

[Acid08]

Not a huge fan of Lift Off, it's a pretty good radio themed song but it has no fucking bite or anything to it.

Yeah I get it Beyonce, YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE STARS

 

[Gareth Bale]

I fucking love the beat :lol

 

[OG Kush]

listen on niggas in paris while rolling the street in your car.. i dare you not to not your head

 

[Sai-kun]

Too easy ;P

Avatar quote right back at you.

 

[Appleman]

First listen is fairly positive, but like HAM and Otis I'm sure it will have to grow on me.

 

[TheOddOne]

Put me in the group that says "Ni**as in Paris" beat is straight garbage.

 

[SolidEyeSystem]

We're gonna skate to one song, one song only.

 

[TheOddOne]

We're gonna skate to one song, one song only.

Then put me on suicide watch.

 

[spindashing]

Then put me on suicide watch.

THAT SHIT CRA'

 

[MisterRueler]

Niggas is Paris is such a stupid song, but I love it!

"Prince Williams ain't do it right, if you aaaask me, if i was him, I woulda MAARIED KATE n AAAASHLEY"

baha such a good stupid lyric.

Also I laughed out loud at that dialogue sample.

[Mr Solo Dolo]

Why I Love You So <3

Should of used Skream's remix though

[spindashing]

Did anyone notice that Kid Cudi's at the end of Illest Motherfucker Alive? I just now noticed...

Edit: Fuck me, HAM's playing.

But it doesn't make sense though. There is no Ashley... it's Pippa

What's with Kanye taking Andre 3000's "she said alive" at the beginning of Welcome to the Jungle? Biting like crazy. Also, I don't know what relationship Kanye has with Swizz but that shit needs to end.

 

[Ashhong]

I said this earlier in the thread and got ignored.

haha I caught it too. but then enzo went and took credit and repeated it and i thought he said it the first time too

 

[nns3d]

Is No Church in the Wild the only weak Frank Ocean feature? Either I haven't listened to a Frank Ocean track in ages or he's sounding dull here.

 

[Acid08]

Beat drop at the beginning of Who Gon Stop Me, fuck yes.

 

[Sai-kun]

that shit craaaaa'!

lmao. This is starting to crack me up :lol

Nah, Frank hasn't done anything noteworthy since Nostalgia Ultra. He's not even good on WTT.

Haven't heard anything he's done post-Nostalgia outside of She (Goblin), but that's disappointing

Gets me hype!

Jay kills it on Murder to Excellence.

Why I Love You So <3

Why I Love You So is fucking incredible, and I'm glad they got Hudson to go over it, sounds much better imo.

[Saren is Bad]

Why in fuck is Illest M'f Alive 8 minutes long with a 3 minute silence?

 

[gimmmick]

Loving the album, alsmot done with the first listen through. Favorite track is "who gon stop me".

 

[Wanda/Wander]

Why in fuck is Illest M'f Alive 8 minutes long with a 3 minute silence?

Hidden track.

 

[Zoramon089]

"WHY I LOVE YOU" IS SOOO GOOD

 

[hoos30]

Just bought tix to the DC show in Nov. What the over/under on how late the show will start.

Last Jay-Z show I saw started a hour and a half late.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

The entire album is trash minus the auto tune on Lift Off.

One Minute Read Review
for what its worth. 4 listens in.


-

Album bumps. Although not perfect like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

-Best tracks IMO:

No Church In The Wild
&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;s In Paris
Lift Off*****
Otis
Thats My Bitch
Murder To Excellence
Why I Love You
*Primetime

-Lift Off would have been normal in the list if it wasn't for it feeling so unfinished. I feel like the album cut is one of many different verse cuts Kanye had planned, and it just felt empty. Beat and hook is incredible, yet trips on it self during the verses a bit.

Worst Track?
-Who Gon Stop Me.
Feels so forced. Someone said lets kill it on a dubstep song and Kanye and Jay both were hot headed enough to think they are so good it'll sound good. The beat is straight generic cliche dubstep. Would have better if it was a creative original dubstep beat or just some dubstep drum influence.

Album is GREAT! (THAT SHIT CRAY)
8.5/10

 

[Jacobi]

How often does " black cards, black cars" appear in the album?

 

[kingocfs]

The last part of "Who Gon' Stop Me" is some badass shit. Pretty good album.

Gotta disagree about the dubstep. Cliche dubstep? I don't know about that. It's very mild dubstep which I think was done very well. It's not so much that it overpowers the song and turns it into some wack dubstep, but its enough to make it different from other hip hop songs out right now. It's as you wanted, some dubstep drum influence.
