Kanye's instincts as a producer are just off-the-charts good these days--I love all these new angles he's pushing and experimenting with; his stuff, compared to a lot of what's out there, feels fresh. And it's difficult to argue with his bravura as a rapper, either. Not as impressed with Jay Z out of this, but: sometimes he just leaves me spluttering, the way he snipes in with a lyrical bomb of awesomeness--such a grand wordsmith. Not their best work individually, but I think there's so much more that can come from this sort of collaboration. As for the "disjointed" criticism, I was very fond of its unpredictable nature, although it does fall down when you hit upon tracks like HAM.

Why does Illest Motherfucker Alive begin with three minutes of silence?
Still LOL'n at this album cuz! Got some good tracks but the lack of consistency is wack. Niggas in Paris for example- experimental beat, Hov does his thing and actually rides it, and then we're met with Kanye's wackness. Keep screaming and stretching them syllables guy. He is an annoying MC and I would have prefered if this album was just Jay-Z solo.
Ya'll won't be playing this album in a month. If I wanted to listen to great dubhoptripsteptrancevoodoo then I would throw on Thievery Corporation or Burial, as these guys do it well. These ziggans Kanye and Jay-Z are too pretentious for their own good and probably are surrounded by yes-men. Would be ok if they actually put in a great effort, this album is just weird lol.

Damn right! The more I listen I would've preferred just Jay too. He murders Kanye on this, *smh* at everyone saying he's tired and Kanye got him beat, when Jay goes in he makes Kanye sound amateur.YoungHav said:
In Paris, Gotta Have It, New Day, Welcome To The Jungle, Who Gon Stop Me, Why I Love You, Jay is killing Kanye on all these tracks absolutely. Jay is the substance of this album, he's the bread where Kanye is a thin spread of butter.
Jay has some lines that make me go "ooh" then Kanye comes in like "huhhhhhhhhhhh" and fucks that shit up

You guys serious about Jay murdering Kanye on tracks? I think you guys just dislike Kanye and want to believe Jay is trying hard...

I love Kanye dude. I'm even a fan of 808's so GTFO with the assumptions.
Listen again to Welcome To The Jungle and get back to me with an example of where Kanye is topping that.......

Kanye brings down many tracks, it sounds disjointed. Perfect example is Niggas in Paris. Risky beat, Jay manages to pull off flowing on it, song sounding good and getting put well together then I gotta hear "can we get married at the MAAAAAAAUUUULL, ...BAAWWWWL... STAAAAWWWLL..."... fucking weak. Sounds wack, nigga you're not from the south, stop with the fake ass drawl, why are you yelling out stupid stretched syllables? Rather than re-record Jay just sat there with a giddy camel smile and said that shit was high tech. Kanye has no restraint as an artist and Jay-Z will dickride anything that is popular. This album doesn't surprise me at all and is what I expected, glimpses of greatness stuffed with plenty of smh moments. Distant Relatives shits on this it's not even funny. So Appalled >>>>> this whole album.Zoramon089 said:

Not much gap in between those and, 808s has really grown on me this past year.
And after listening to WTT over the past few days, I'd say it's good despite its inconsistency, but it's definitely not touching Jay or Ye's best solo work.
As a jay stan let me say there is no way this would have been good with just him on it. He has only a handful of verses that live up to his previous material on all the tracks bonuses included. Nobody murdered anyone on this. Ye and Jay didn't spit anywhere near their best; and there were no guest features to make up for that deficiency like there were on MBTDF and BP3.

I agree with him completely on this review. His Goblin review did suck though.TheOddOne said:

He was relevant before that. That review sucked anyway, so I can't see how he gained subscribers or fans after that.DominoKid said:

CD is totally wack to me. Verse after verse of how great life is at the top. I get it.

this is why comparisons to MBDTF are very short-sighted. it's nowhere near the caliber of artistic creativity, personal experiences or intimacy.jordan0386 said:
edit: if you're talking about "College Dropout" rather than "this CD", ignore my comment. My comment was with regard to WTT.
We must not be listening to the same CD because there's a shitload more of that stuff in every Ye album after that. CD is arguably him at his humblest/most honest, and that's part of why I love it so much. I mean All Falls Down, Spaceship, Jesus Walks are about a great life at the top? whajordan0386 said:

I've been following him enough to know his taste. He won't hate on an album for deliberate attention. He's unpredictable sometimes but he's no Jim Sterling.Ermac said:
