yeah I think it sounds really good as a change of pace/direct contradiction of "All of the Lights"... but it still gets boring like halfway thru, sadly

did I just hear that
my god I love this

i think "monster" is great despite a few super awkward lines

oh my god
Am I really hearing Nicki Minaj... making sense and not being entirely punchable?
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:37 (thirteen years ago) link
holy fucking shit that was a great great verse
and I fucking DETEST her with every fiber of my being, or at least I did before hearing that

me a little while ago tbh

haha I can just imagine in the studio "now, take us home, Bon Iver!"
oh man was this yr first time hearing that song? yeah, it is a really good Nicki Minaj verse dude
― underplayed junior boys remixes I have forgotten were on my comp (bernard snowy), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I have been hearing every bad song she's done because oh my GOD that was fucking TIGHT
lol I can tell already "So Appalled" is going to be one of those songs that I will fall in love with for absolutely no reason
okay maybe not after that "Prada"/"ta-da!" couplet

The awesomeness of Minaj's bit= closest thing to consensus.

lol Jay-Z
"all y'all can suck my BALLZ through my DRAWAZ"
oh ha this is the verse that got him in trouble with Hammer, isn't it
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
that line is jay-z's lowest low point imo

so, you know what this shit is?
that's right, it's FUCKIN RIDICULOUS (just in case you weren't sure)

probably shouldn't be taking lyrical stylistic cues from Fatboy Slim
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link
all right I think I want to punch "Devil In A New Dress" directly in the face
think i've listened to that rick ross verse more than the rest of the album combined
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:47 (thirteen years ago) link
now I KNOW I do
this is basically the Kanye production aesthetic that is entertaining when you first hear it and then becomes the most aggravating thing on earth unless it happens to be "All Falls Down"

lol more sad guitar
couldn't he spring for a theremin
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
FUCK there are 2 minutes left in this song
yeah pretty bad song but I do like "don't leave while you're hot, that's how mase screwed up!"
― underplayed junior boys remixes I have forgotten were on my comp (bernard snowy), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
okay Rick Ross sounds way way better on this
deeper voice against all that aggravating treble = more balanced overall sound
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
"Runaway" musically is also pretty dope until the autotune nonsense
the way it builds is just great
also lol for all time at Kanye sending girls pictures of his dick and then writing it in a song and then the pictures turning up on the internet
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
like for real, I think the chorus to this song is fucking fantastic
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
i still love this album and the pitchfork score just reinforces how surreal and logic defying its appeal is
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
djp u are enjoying this record in all the right ways imo
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:54 (thirteen years ago) link
like that highly reverbed hit that substitutes in for a snare hit on the second half of the chorus is a tiny detail but one that adds momentum to the beat and pulls it forward into awesome
of course things start getting incredibly self-indulgent around 3:30 but for some reason I'm not mad about it, maybe because the string chords that pull in shortly before 4:00 really fill out that sound
there's some really effective heart-on-sleeve warmth all through this beat in terms of the selection of that analogue bass synth and the tinny reverb on the Penderecki-esque piano bit
and yes, it should stop at 5:50, I do agree with that
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
actually this extended coda would have been okay without the autotune over it
as it stands it's just kind of like "dude I know you love this song and it's incredibly dope but now your just rubbing it raw"
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link
grr "you're"
okay I was a little disappointed that "Hell of a Life" wasn't full-on 6/8 but the 3-against-2 is actually kind of hot
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
ha, so it's like "how can I make this song more awesome to DJP after piling it full of polyrhythms.... oh I know, I'll put in an a capella break"
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:05 (thirteen years ago) link
why the hell don't I have any John Legend albums, is what I want to know right now
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link
what makes this album fascinating/enjoyable to me is its imperfection
this is true -- my prob is that this is true for every single kanye album, & of course by proxy kanye himself -- and 'my dark twisted fantasy' is not his best/10.0 album
― J0rdan S., Monday, 22 November 2010 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link
i would've love to have seen a 10 given to the xx album since it's kind of a perfect album & they came in w/ such a fully formed sound & aesthetic -- but i understand being wary of saddling a debut indie album w/ a 10.0
― J0rdan S., Monday, 22 November 2010 20:08 (thirteen years ago) link
oh my fucking god
this fucking song
just got to the speaker-panning section
fucking yes
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:09 (thirteen years ago) link
also yeah I would have heartily cosigned a 10.0 for The XX
wait how are there 3.5 minutes left in this song
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Now you're approaching the boring part of the album.
― look at it, pwn3d, made u look at my peen/vadge (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean albums can really never be like special effects-driven movies where you really can feel or see or hear the budget in the final product in any meaningful way.
this really isn't true - admittedly you have to sort of be a geek or have spent a lot of time with super-audio-geeks, but giant-budget albums pretty much announce themselves from their opening moments as clearly as big blockbuster movies announce themselves before the opening credits are done rolling

I was saying this in response to someone basically saying that Kanye is the only rapper in the world who has the money to make this album, like it's Avatar or a Pixar movie or something where it costs millions just to produce technology that's used in every single frame, so you're either missing the point of what I was saying or taking it in some complete other direction. do you really thing MBDTF or really any album works on the same level? like, ooh, Elton John and a choir and some nice drum machine programming, that definitely cost millions.

also hindsight is 20/20 but maybe when ppl gave you a nickname that sounded like "Yeasty" you should have said "hold up, no"

okay was not really expecting "Lost in the World" to do that
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:15 (thirteen years ago) link
I guess he got enough feedback about "Pinocchio Story" that he was not going to do that again
