Not sure how I feel about this new style, Black Skinheads though, can't wait to bump that while doing some reckless shit.
 
I'm sorry, this guy is not artist I fell in love with. This EmoKanye character thing has gone on for way too long. I miss the guy that made tracks like Goldigger, Champion, Touch the Sky, and New Workout Plan, where the music was witty, hilarious, and just flat out fun.

I know losing his mom and tasting the good life has changed him to some degree, but I think this will be the first Kanye album I skip. This stuff just wanna makes you jump off a bridge, not unlike the effect that movie "Precious" had on me. Dude needs to smell the roses, he's a millionaire connected to one of the most beautiful women in the world who's carrying his first child. As a father-to-be myself, I haven't been happier, and Yeezus isn't going to kill my vibe.

Come home Kanye, come home... :-/

Sounds like Radiohead.

New Slave sounds like ass. Black skinhead is dope though.

Gotta say I'm worried Black Skinhead's CDQ won't be as intense as his live performance. When he debuts music live, it often sounds better than the studio version, and with something so raw I can't help but feel this'll be the case again. I hope I'm wrong though.

Still can't believe what he did to Home. The mixtape version was fucking perfect. The whaling woman in the sample added to the whole message and mood of the song. Then for the album he's got some wack beat with a lame as hell chorus. Why add the stupid chorus? Why change the beat? It was raw and powerful then he changed it to tempered and formulaic.

??

The two songs sound nothing alike.

Part I has more in common with Blk Skn Head than Part II and even then it's not close.

The bullhorn effect used on his voice and the rhythm of his delivery.

Sample didn't clear.

Pre-order the new album now, appearantly:

EDIT: A fan mirrored the album art and it looks like a face screaming up. This might not be the intention of the album art, just something cool that COULD be the intention of the album art.

EDIT: Supposedly this was put up early by accident, and now Def Jam has taken the pre-order link down. But the site to order the album was legit, and that does seem to be the album art (which coincides with the picture that Kim K tweeted yesterday).

The hell am I looking at?

Well, album art looks to be a picture of Kanye's face in gold being ripped into something else. Then when you mirror it - it makes a face screaming up. The second picture was just done by a fan though - so that might not be the intention. I should note that in my post.

The first picture is said to be the official album art. It was done by Condo (same guy that did MBDTF).

EDIT: Might not be Kanye (look at the hair). But point is, still a picture of a man's face being ripped apart.
 
Where is dat vinyl release


Def Jam already fucked up the Cruel Summer vinyl release (announcing it but never actually releasing it lol)

I see that. I just don't see what the mirrored image is suppose to show.

The mirroring was just done by a fan. But I believe what it shows is, an under view of the face screaming. So the neck comes together (that is the thin part) - and now the face is whole (vs a side angle) and he's screaming up. Just ignore the mirrored image. Might not even be the attention of the album art - just something a fan saw.

EDIT: Basically, the album art if half the face, with the other half being ripped apart. But when you mirror the image, it brings the face back together. That's all that second image was (sorry, I'm kind of bad at explaining things).

Did it ever get a US release or just a Japanese release?

I don't believe it ever got a release. I just know Def Jam put up pre-orders for the vinyl version, then like a week before it was supposed to come out, we all got emails saying the vinyl edition had been canceled.

I also with 808&heatbreaks wasn't such a rare vinyl
 
Just saw the two SNL videos can't wait for this album. It sounds like he channeled Bad Brains, Saul Williams, Mos Def and a bit of NIN.

Was gunna say, I've only heard negative shit about him when it comes to autographs. That's cool tho.

I'm not feeling either song TBH, something's off with him doing songs with an angry persona. Still like his soul-sampling songs much better.

Well, I don't think Ye really wants to be at those kind of things. Especially when they do them right in the middle of heavy marketing/promotion. Often he'll do a signing right after doing a talk show for instance - so he hasn't slept in a day. In general, he seems pretty detached from the business side of things, and really just wants to make music, and play it.

Not that I'm excusing him. I mean, he shouldn't be doing signings if he really has no interest in them. But when I happened to meet him, he was pretty cool. He talked, and at least did a good job pretending he was interested lmao.

But I wouldn't be surprised if others had bad experiences with meeting him. I guess I just got lucky.
