i feel like since 808s was generally critically well liked (outside of hardhead rap circles), people feel like ye is immune to putting out a bad album, even tho he hasn't been rapping well in like 2 years
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 September 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
i dunno, i feel like most of his verses on these joints are fine. he's always had the (more than occasional clunker) and as far as his recent guest verses go, his guest verses have always sucked.
maybe he can kickstart the whole 90s/boom-bap revivalism w/ modern touch that's bound to happen

seemed apparent was the whole musical tack he was taking here from the time that unfinished version of "so appalled" leaked?
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link
i think he's gone from having a lame pun here & there having verses full of lame puns
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 September 2010 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link
really, the only song (of his own) he's put out this year that I've actively disliked is "power" (and its remix)
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link
oh and that beyonce joint that i forgot existed until right this very. bleh.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 20:52 (thirteen years ago) link
he's good enough as an 'artist' to overcome his current failings as a rapper to the point where none of these songs are 'bad' but i think only one of them is actually 'great'
like i can't imagine that this album is gonna be more than 3.5 out of 5/7 out of 10

I meant in the mainstream, obviously there have always been revivalists/people stuck in "golden age" but obv kanye is a trendsetter in that whatever he does tends to set the stage for the next year or so so if/when Kanye is successful in this whole "bringing it back" sound then other notable people will follow suit maybe

so far most of this new stuff has the same kinda drums as Kanye's stuff 5-10 years ago and that stuff was not boom bap

Kanye's current campaign feels like if HIStory didn't tack a greatest hits disc onto the new weirdass paranoid emotional problems one but was still promoted the same way.

okay this second verse during the "power" performance isn't on the remix either -- it's totally new & seriously way better

holy s--t i didn't realize runaway was (a) kanye west and (b) on a not-yet-released album. i heard it a few days ago, on how-to-dress-well's mixtape on the dis magazine website, and assumed it was cee-lo green (that opening still sounds like cee-lo's voice to me).

it seems really weird to me that he's pushing "runaway" rather than "monster" which people seem to actually like and i've heard bumping out of cars and stuff. seems like the logic is "heartless" is his biggest hit in the past couple years, so put out a song like that? idgi.
― ayo for dayo (The Reverend), Monday, 4 October 2010 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link
um because "Runaway" is a melodic pop rap song and "Monster" is a 6 min posse cut where nobody's favorite verse is Kanye's?

also i don't think "monster" is even on the album
