if theres room for dude from coldplay and mos def singing his lil heart out for 4 minutes over vanessa carlton pianos you can fit a rakim verse on this bitch

only good morning, stronger, cant tell me nothin & the steely dan joint actually please meh

uh, cause Nike owns that song, not Kanye?
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link
i mean seriously "Classic" is cool but there was never any indication it would be on Kanye's album, why not whine about a hundred other collabs and freestyles that aren't on rappers' albums.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link
"good life" is my favorite because it reminds me of aspirational 'spaceship'-type kanye
― deej, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link
because its a kanye track i heard this year that i was feeling more than 80% of this shitty album?
― and what, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link
good life is unbelievable garbage
Good Life >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stronger >>> Can't Tell Me Nothin
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link
good life is a mess
stronger would be dope as an album cut, underwhelming as attempt at stadium rap single
cant tell me nothin is dope, period

for real i was not dying to hear t-pain over a off key slum village b-side
― and what, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:58 (sixteen years ago) link
The last third of this doesn't please meh. : (
(xps) Okay, this is where I get all deej and go zzzz.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
this record is making me reconsider saying that producers need to flip the beat more... all these gay lil beatless violin/piano breaks in the middle of a joint make me wanna listen to nothing but south bronx all day
― and what, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:00 (sixteen years ago) link
"Good Life" would actually be better w/o T-Pain. Like, if they removed his vocals and left everything else exactly the same, that would be better. Kanye's asides in the first verse crack me up.

― deej, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link

"X sounds like a y b-side" is becoming has done been a dull criticism.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link
i dont give blanket approval to every toomp beat, good life just sounds like trash to me
― and what, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link
xp AIGHT THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE A REGULAR ALBUM CUT SLUM VILLAGE DILLA THROWAWAY WITH PITCHED UP DROWNED OUT WEIRD DRUMS CUT-UP BULLSHIT
― and what, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't give blanket approval to every Toomp beat, "Can't Tell Me Nothin" just sounds like trash to me. Different strokes, I guess.

"The Glory" is an inferior "Never Change" (Jay-Z).

cant tell me nothin wouldve been better if like p$c was on it but whatever
― and what, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:10 (sixteen years ago) link
^ True.
"Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Barry Bonds", & "Drunk & Hot Girls" form this nice, dark, weird little core of the album, though.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
lol 'played a role in chicago like queen latifah'
― and what, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:19 (sixteen years ago) link
i forgot, 'barry bonds' prob has the best beat
― deej, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
The giant fuzz-bass that drops on the title = fuck yeah.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link
barry bonds is boring
nottz is my favorite producer tho that snoop/kells beat was the shit

its also the only track i dont wish had non-kanye rappers on it

ARGH @ packaging. Okay, yes, the cartoons are cute, but this is going to be scratched all to hell in no time.

fwiw i like all of the songs discussed above except i wonder which its fucking terrible

except its not like "oh theyre all i good but i couldnt possibly choose which one i love the most!" its like "these ones are great and those ones suck"

kanye has a better voice for rapping than p diddy!

you know i hate "i wonder" but i think "everything i am" sucks even worse

I realize that. The point still stands.
