Support NeoGAF

[Dartastic]

I haven't been digging much hip hop/rap/whatever lately and I've been waiting for Kanye for a while. However... I'm digging the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis album. Not lying. It's really good. o.o

Cole is the perfect example of a good mixtape rapper.

This is exactly what I've been saying in GAFHop. It's why most of his mixtapes are so solid.

 

[Dereck]

Random J. Cole hate? Sounds more like J. Cole disappointment.

Yup, if I was him I'd focus on production and guest spots when it comes to albums.

 

[Ashhong]

Let nas down is embarrassing. I'm sure Nasir is embarrassed by it.


He just can't carry an album by himself. In his defense, most rap artists can't though. This is why Kanye albums are riddled with features and over produced beats. If it was just Kanye it'd be understandably boring, like cole. Cole has redundant subject matter, and his beats aren't amazing enough to distract from that. Not only that but he insists on not having any notable features besides on his single songs which unsurprisingly aren't as boring to me.

808s was mostly just Kanye. Not boring at all!

Did you gloss over my point regarding production? 808s is a very well crafted album production wise.

 

[DominoKid]

808s was mostly just Kanye. Not boring at all!

Cudi & Jeff Bhasker were also very involved in that album though. I'm not sure to what extent for Bhasker but his name is heavy in the credits.

i don't see how you can be disappointed when you shouldn't have high expectations anyways

Spoiler

i like j cole kinda

Well, I'm not disappointed, I was just talking about GAF-HOP in general. I haven't heard the album yet.

 

[Fjordson]

It's not that bad

"Let Nas Down" that is. Not sure what the random J Cole hate is about. I thought GAF loved him

Not even really hate, he's just boring. Nothing offensive about him, but it's hard for me to imagine a scenario where I'd ever listen to him of my own accord.

just replace the CD pic with a vinyl pic

holy shit at the Last of Us review scores. I forgot that the embargo was up a few days ago

Yeezus is probably done. Mixed already, either mastering is done too or is finishing up.

Mike Dean might be hinting at WTT2 too?

EDIT: Obvious graffiti marketing begins too:

[solarus]

I'm more hyped for this album than I was for MBDTF, must be the lack of promotion compared to last time- leaves me thirstier. Both black skinhead and new slaves are straight fire.

 

[PBY]

TOMORROW

 

[Fry]

TOMORROW

WHAT ABOUT IT?

 

[jobber]

of course it's mastered now


but I don't think this will be the only Kanye project that will be released this year

winter.

 

[grkazan12]

WHAT ABOUT IT?

Governors Ball Kanye performance? New song? New Snippet? New Rant?. Hopefully something.

Same, pretty hyped that we're this close and have no clue what most of it will sound like. With MBDTF, a good portion of the songs had either leaked or been released in earlier versions on G.O.O.D. Fridays.

 

[PBY]

Ohh! Fuck yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

I'll try and record videos if he does new stuff

 

[Fry]

My man!!

 

[My Name Is Luke]

Fuckkkkkkkkkk, I remember when Governor's Ball tix were first on sale a few of my friends and I spent a whole day deciding on whether or not to go purely because Kanye would be performing around his birthday and that it would be one of the first times we could hear anything new. I'm still pissed about it hahaha

Sucks that their won't be a stream for Governors Ball. I def wanted to catch that Ye performance.

Prepare for more shaky, 15 second Vine videos.

 

[turbosnail]

This album is going to be so fucking amazing. I'm talking twisted fantasy level. I am glad he is not spoiling the album like he did with cruel summer which was nothing short of a disappointment

Download link for !llmind's !BFKW (Beats for Kanye West). Romeo & Juliet, Rolling Stone, He's Against Me, Rapture, Jokers & Shine are all straight fire, goddamn.

EDIT: Wrong thread but still relevant I guess.

Kanye's set just started at the Governor's Ball:

Did Black Skinhead and New Slaves thus far.

LOLWTF

 

[goodfella]

Love how rather than bucking the trend of hard club beats and trap, he is taking it to the extreme.

Why get Young Chop to produce when you can get a real producer like TNGHT (HudMo)?

Trap has evolved a lot since it came into prominence in Hip Hop, this album seems like it has the potential to help rap catch up to some of the amazing electronic production that has happened in the past couple of years.

lol at "real producer". smh at the pretentiousness and disrespect dripping from this post. you realize they probably collaborated right? Chop doing his drum thing. TNGHT doing their obnoxious synths.

HudMo used to be way better than this anyway.

TBH I Am A God seems like a clusterfuck of sounds and styles. Everything I've heard from it sounds so varied. Maybe even too varied.

 

[Fjordson]

Sounds awful. Is that Kanye singing? Getting some T-Pain vibes.
