Favourites right now : No Church In The Wild, New Day, Who Gon Stop Me, Why I Love You, and Murder to Excellence. I'm enjoying HAM a lot more this time around as well. The album lived up to my expectations, and is everything I wanted it to be, the only tracks I skip are Lift Off and Gotta have it. Not sure if I can say I enjoy it more then MDTBF, I'll have to give it a lot more listens before I can make that judgement, but really fun and energetic album to listen to, hype went up 10 points for their concert in November.

A day later, this album has boiled down to No Church In The Wild, Who Gon Stop Me, Murder To Excellence, Welcome To The Jungle, Why I Love You, Illest MFer Alive, and Primetime.
Everything else? Meh.
Everything else? Meh.
Finally giving this my first listen. Whoever said this was better than MBDTF is so, so wrong. It's pretty dang good, but it feels really disjointed. When it's good, it's GOOD. Listening to Why I Love You now. This is really good, and I love the throwback with the higher pitched samples. Murder to Excellence was GREAT, and New Day as well as No Church in the Wild were really, really good too. That guitar riff on No Church... GATDAMN. Who Gon Stop Me was really interesting too, even if Jay seemingly couldn't keep up with the beat, or something.... But like, there are really, really off points too. Made in America's beat is kinda weird and out of place, and Lift Off SHOULD be way, way better than it is. Jay's "verse" (if you can even call it that) in that song is... uh.... yeah.
Murder to Excellence is the highlight so far, by far outside of NCitW. I'm about to start listening to Illest Motherfucker Alive now; the 3 minutes of silence just finished.
...also, is anyone gonna subscribe to Yeezy's life? hahah
HAM will always be shit, btw. ICK.
Edit - Halfway through Illest now. It's what HAM probably should have been. Haha.
Edit 2 - SKIPPED HAM. Primetime is sick too!

Really, all I want is an instrumental for the first section of "who gon stop me". The lyrics are all but forgettable, but damn, that beat could hype me in the gym for hours.

:lol I did the same this morning, I woke up and gave it a listen thinking "maybe I was just super tired last night, maybe it won't be shit" and got half way through before I skipped. We get it Beyonce YOURE HEADED FOR THE FUCKING STARS. I just assume Beyonce told Jay she wouldn't suck his dick for a week if he didn't put it on, the only reason I can see it being there.

Sorry was just listening to Love Lockdown and got carried away. WTT has actually grown on me and not the opposite

How to love is doing well on iTunes and has been on the radio alot (unfortunately). I really have no idea how well it'll do though, it seems like alot of people aren't into him anymore. Should be interesting to see his numbers.
On topic: Why I love Gucci Mane is my favorite track atm. I don't think the ending is abrupt like some of you guys.

Huh? How the hell is that "MUCH" better!? He just plonked a portion of the song at the beginning of a track that has absolutely nothing to do with said sample. That's not much better. That's shit. A least this second time round it's mixed into the beat (too much but whatever) and the sample has some significance to the song it's used within.kamspy said:
Huh? What song you listening to? Cause on my copy the auto tune starts at 1:49 which is before the middle of the track, not the end, it comes between verses and is definitely overbearing. Considering Frank can actually sing it's simply ridiculous that it was used, doesn't sound good at all!wenis said:
