Dropped out the first day of school, cause ninjas got cocaine to move.

 

[Sai-kun]

Blood on the Leaves is killer.

Only songs I don't like so far on this first listen are Hold My Liqour, and I'm In It. I'm In It is okay but eh. Maybe a second listen will sway me.

 

[Gorillaz]

glad this shit leaked on a friday because there are some bangers

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Also leave it to Kanye to put Keef to a great use.

 

[YoYo Switch]

Just finished the album

Bound 2>>>

one of his best songs in a while god damn. for all the classic kanye lovers out there, Bound 2 seems like it'd be right at home on Late Registration.


Overall, It's quality. I'd have to give it some more listens before I get into any knaye album ranking war

CAN YOU GET MY BENZ IN THE CLUB?
IF NOT PARK YOUR FRIENDS LIKE MY BENZ IN THE LOT TILL THE EVENING END.

*puts on On Sight*

What the fuck am I listening to.

 

[MThanded]

$2k bag with no cash in your purse

 

[HiResDes]

Evian Christ helped with I'm in It!!!

 

[skynidas]

This album is AMAZING, the only way to listen to it is with the volume at max.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Yup. Keef is great on this album.

 

[Collegeguy46]

I'm really enjoying this so far

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Probably.

His quality control is insane these days. I'd rather we got 10 great tracks than stuff like School Spirit on CD.

Yep. Can't argue with that. Was just wondering if it was incomplete.


bout to go on a 3hr roadtrip and doing a last minute playlist. hype!

 

[EloquentM]

Lol I relate with bound sadly.

 

[Jitters]

New Slaves outro is so good.

Yeezus 4 times in a row.

 

[rosarkar]

On Sight = God Tier / 10
Black Skinhead = God Tier / 10
I Am A God = 7 / 10 (FLOP)
New Slaves = LAWDDDDDDDDDDDD / 10
Hold My Drink = Keef / 10
I'm In It = 7 / 10
Blood On The Leaves = SOTY / 10
Guilt Trip = 8.5 / 10
Send It Up = 9 / 10
Bound 2 = God Tier / 10

Overall, I'll give it a Ryan Dombal / 10. SHIT BANGS SO HARD AFTER THE FIRST LISTEN. bamasweat:

 

[jacobs34]

Just finished the album and enjoyed it, but nothing stood out as much as "Power", "Runaway" or "Monster" did from MBDTF. We'll see how it holds up to multiple listenings.

dat James Murphy avi

 

[Jitters]

This is some all time great production.

 

[EloquentM]

That's why I'm in and I can't get out.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Second half of the album is much better than the first. Upon one complete listen, this is one of his worst albums. I didn't care for 808s much, so the first half felt like that album gone wrong. A couple songs on the second half sounds almost like a mix of Late and Freshman Adjustment as far as tone and mood. Blood on the Leaves, Send It Up and Bound 2 are the only songs I like so far. I'm In It is passable. PEACE.

 

[imBask]

on my second listen, it's not as "deep" and theatrical as MBDTF, it's really raw and clearly influenced by stuff like death grips, I LOVE IT

I don't think it'll ever take over MBDTF as the best yeezy album, but at this point nothing he'll ever produced will be able to accomplish that

making an outstanding/unforgettable album can kinda hurt you, since people will always compare everything to that one no matter how good your new album is...

Runaway was ass you can't be serious.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Blood on the Leaves is straight up weird. In a great way, mind you. It's a weird zenith of every Kanye trope: autotune singing, soul samples, high melodrama (dem Hudmo horns), introspective lyrics, mean lyrics.

 

[Syph Medwes]

FIRE

Spoiler

im one song in haha

 

[Jitters]

Runaway was a great track.

 

[imBask]

Runaway was ass you can't be serious.

Runaway was an amazing track

subjectivity.

 

[rosarkar]

Runaway was ass you can't be serious.

pusha's verse on that song was the highlight of the entire album. runaway is easily one of the best songs i've ever heard... and I listen to a lot of music.


PUSHA USED "ICHABOD CRANE" AS A VERB, 2nxtlvl4u.

Must.

Not.

Start.

The.

Cycle.

 

[kingocfs]

When I go to work she gotta call it in/she can't go to work same clothes again

 

[Soler]

Break out the lists lol

 

[victreeb3l]

easily the best thing kanye has made since 808s. a helluva lot better than MBDTF

 

[enzo_gt]

Runaway is a great song, just not the 9 minute version or whatever.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

I keep it 300 like the Romans......

Yeezy on his Weezy type of shit.

 

[Stat Flow]

People really saying Chief Keef was good on that song? Wut.

 

[Fjordson]

I love Send It Up. Especially that Shaggy sounding mother fucker at the end :lol or maybe it's Sizzla!

Okay I'm in the wrong place.

nah, I'm with you Des. Though I'm pretty one sided when it comes to MBDTF. Everything about that album sucked ass imo.

 

[HiResDes]

I keep it 300 like the Romans......

Yeezy on his Weezy type of shit.

You're about five years late homie.

And yeah Keef was not good, though I love this album, I can admit that.

 

[jacobs34]

Runaway was ass you can't be serious.

I enjoyed that song and thought it was an important track for the albums theme.

 

[KingKong]

nice I found a stream

 

[XANDER CAGE]

People really saying Chief Keef was good on that song? Wut.

He didn't say "bang bang," and even sung a hook that's mindly reflective! For Keef that's pretty hot fiya.

 

[double jump]

on my 6th listen now to blood on the leaf.

I just don't get the love.

 

[MThanded]

on my 6th listen now to blood on the leaf.

I just don't get the love.

You must have gotten the kevin spacey pictures instead.

 

[Walshy]

Can we start the cycle yet?

 

[spindashing]

Okay I'm in the wrong place.

LOL yo chill

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I also think this album is pretty coherent and cohesive, at least sonically. It's sort of a darkness death-spiral, with Bound as the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[Syph Medwes]

Just about to listen to the Keef song for the first time. I'm not ready.
And this album is definitely unlike anything I've heard before. Different but interesting.
