Can't Hold My Liquor is so good. Self-destructive Ye always makes for good tracks.

Man, can you imagine Chieef Keef's version of 808s? Beautiful.

oh man. give him a few years to experience that HURT and he'll hopefully do it.
I mean, I don't condone and will buy the album, but can you resist sneaking a peak at the presents before christmas?
I think El-P nailed it when he said it only sounds interesting if it doesn't sound familiar. And this is marginally unfamiliar because it's Kanye.
true. you can't ignore the mans talent he takes what isn't necessarily new and adds his own flair to it which makes it sound effectively different/new.

he can't spell sober lol.
That's true. I give him props for trying.

I can't take this seriously because of the "I'm In It >> BotL" tweet
No. It's just interesting!
he's saying that the lead up from im in it to botl is godly...look at his next tweet for a reference/clarification. its a bit confusing
I'm In It definitely grows on you. BotL is there from the beginning.
Deserves it more than MBTF imo.dat pitchfork 10 upcoming
the beat at the end sounds pretty great, i wish it made it onto the track. though then again it doesn't really sound that "kanye" and probably would have been out of place on the album. still would have been awesome though.
Ah. That makes more sense. I'm In It has grown on me, the only two tracks I'm not really feeling are Hold My Liquor (it's alright) and Guilt Trip (meh).
too much bloat. this album is quick aggressive and short.
Just curious, which site do you think is the best?
My own opinions
O RLY? do you have a blog I can possibly read?
Hold My Liquor, I Am A God, and Bound 2 are just not growing on me. Black Skinhead and New Slaves are just trying too hard. I don't think they are ever going to click. But On Sight and the second half of the album (6-9) is holding up pretty well. So about half the tracks total. I'll probably turn in later tonight with the album on and see if anything changed between then and now.

I think this is a good opinion for someone who's mixed on the album. no singles, no commercial message aside blk skinhead and new slaves are the most commercially produced songs...I think ye did well to pick them for his "not" promo

Shit, cat
Hold My Liquor really snuck up on me listening to it again in the car. Might be my fav
You know in direct comparison to the SNL version, I'm actually pretty disappointed with the studio Black Skinhead. It's good in it's own way, and I do like it, but the SNL version is even more intense than I remember it. Along with Kanye being way more intense at all times, the production is better too. There's constant screaming in the background and the drums/bass hit a lot harder. And in the build up there's like this rising high pitch sound. I dunno, it just all works. I think I'll keep that version on my iPod as a bonus track, haha
Your buggin, I have a feeling the album wouldn't be nearly as good or carry the same impact without Rubin. The last thing Yez needed on this was some campy RnB. He would have to rework way to much to make it cohesive.
Yessssssssssss I was looking for this earlier.
Can't stop listening to Bound 2. Send help.
