To you maybe, but not to me. I really tried enjoying the album man, but i just can't. Gave it multiple listens.
All for it as long as it's better than Piss On Your Grave

In context I think it's great.
Out of context it's okay.
It;s for sure better than TLOB, although I guess we need context for that one too
But he isn't keeping that as the name anyway so who cares

Paul McCartney has said that his song, Two Fingers, is based on a Picasso Painting.
This very same song is the basis for the beat of All Day.

I doubt it. Doesn't take a genius to figure out where Kanye's going with this one, hell he's already used it in its intended context in at least one of his tracks. Kendrick Lamar's butterfly analogy is far more creative and nuanced.

My favorite album last year and even I agree it's a garbage title. Never understood why he went with that.
His most recent album was great in my opinion. Had it on constant rotation
As not a super big hip hop fan, more of a Kanye fan.
And as only having listened to MDBTF and Yeezus, Yeezus is the one that's dope as fuck for me. I like the former just fine, some great tracks on it. The other rappers bore the shit out of me with the constant features, some of the production is a little ehh for me too. Im mostly a dance music fan and Yeezus def brought that vibe. Plus it's like the perfect length.
But Im coming from a different place than a actual hip hop fan I guess.

Rodeo is fucking great. If TLOP is half as good as that album I'll be happy.

Was pretty worried about this album, but I actually like all the new changes. I dig the new title. I like that NMPILA is no longer on the album as it's totally not an album track, and I dig the snippet of Feedback that I just heard.
Bring on tomorrow!

La Flame x Kanye is such a winning combo, except for Piss On Your Grave (beat is still dope AF tho).
Besides being the muse for Yeezus as a whole (and Ye entrusting Travis with that sound going forwards), I Am A God, Guilt Trip and Sin City are among the best productions in Ye's career.
EDIT: This is actually a pretty dope theory. Picasso would be the bright artist, and Escobar would be the social deviant.

Yeah Rodeo is a fantastically well-rounded album.

I enjoyed it quite a bit more than I thought I would. Favorite track was Flying High with Toro Y Moi
Eh. I love the original songs they are sampled from. I just get a little weary of those classic samples being misused. But I think Kanye will work it.
Hopefully someone else doesn't shit all over it.
The butterfly represents celebrity status, growth, success and artists such as Kendrick at this stage of their careers, and the pimping is referring to how the industry treats and/or exploits, or tries to exploit them. Obviously Kendrick's goal being to use his status to do more good, and to try and break from the mould.
What's the last verse that Jay's delivered that wasn't straight trash?
Why would we want a worse album?

I feel ya on that last part. That's exactly what I am afraid of for two songs. Even though it's not confirmed, the guy that is said to be featured is absolute garbage in my book and I cant stand to listen to that dude's voice. Let's just hope he proves me wrong with an actual verse or just not being incredibly annoying and terrible.
His verses on MBDTF and the pre mix of Monster were great. As were some of his verses on Watch the Throne, especially on Murder to Excellence.

Days Before Rodeo and Rodeo are sore fantastic.
You the donkey of the day. You don't even need a subscription.

That's cool and all but it just feels corny/forced and does a disservice to how brilliant the album is. I always assumed it was just an unclever spin on To Kill a Mockingbird. Much prefer the rumored How Much a Dollar Cost.

Had not heard much of this Travis Scott yet, so I decided to check some out real quick. "oh lord.... Autotune? Really?!" was my first reaction. Never been a huge autotune fan, neither a hater because I really enjoyed 808s, but come on now. Wouldn't surprise if the whole track is in autotune. I'm definitely not changing my expectations of the album, because that's definitely for the better. Several things that could easily ruin the whole thing for me, we'll see.

Non subscribers get HIFI streaming?
I'm in the theater I don't know about that.
No more parties
It was a boring ass song, with a mediocre Kendrick and a try hard Kanye verse.

Fonzworth Bentley, who's worked pretty closely with Kanye on this album, said that it'll be available after the premiere. Now, who knows if it's right after it ends or later that night, but it's pretty much confirmed to not drop before.
