kanye west graduation

uh, cause Nike owns that song, not Kanye?

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.

"good life" is my favorite because it reminds me of aspirational 'spaceship'-type kanye

because its a kanye track i heard this year that i was feeling more than 80% of this shitty album?

good life is unbelievable garbage

Good Life >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stronger >>> Can't Tell Me Nothin

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

the glory>>good life

for real i was not dying to hear t-pain over a off key slum village b-side

The last third of this doesn't please meh. : (

(xps) Okay, this is where I get all deej and go zzzz.

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

"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.

cant tell me nothin is dope, period

the beat is at any rate

alex in baltimore otm
wtf sounds slum village about toomp beat

i like t-pain on it too

"X sounds like a y b-side" is becoming has done been a dull criticism.

i dont give blanket approval to every toomp beat, good life just sounds like trash to me

xp AIGHT THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE A REGULAR ALBUM CUT SLUM VILLAGE DILLA THROWAWAY WITH PITCHED UP DROWNED OUT WEIRD DRUMS CUT-UP BULLSHIT

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).

good life consensus makes me feel like im taking crazy pills... i havent been able to get through a full listen of it yet

cant tell me nothin wouldve been better if like p$c was on it but whatever

cant tell me nothin wouldve been better if like p$c was on it but whatever

^ True.

"Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Barry Bonds", & "Drunk & Hot Girls" form this nice, dark, weird little core of the album, though.

lol 'played a role in chicago like queen latifah'

i forgot, 'barry bonds' prob has the best beat

The giant fuzz-bass that drops on the title = fuck yeah.

barry bonds is boring

nottz is my favorite producer tho that snoop/kells beat was the shit

That was some pleasure cruise pimpin' shit, foreal.

ok im feeling "everything i am" despite serious thugz mansion vibes

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.

its weird that no one can agree on album standouts

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

if genocide had a sound it would sound like i wonder

i hate that it even exists

"I Wonder" is fuckin great.

:(

its weird that no one can agree on album standouts

That's generally a good sign.

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

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"

I realize that. The point still stands.

lol @ the good life video ripping off the cartoony letters from the d.a.n.c.e. video

everything i am sounds like a mediocre college dropout song.

'divisive'

t/s ys vs. graduation

ys?

LOCK THREAD.

Oh, I'm slow. I thought ys was an abbreviation for something. I have no interest in hearing Ys. That was not an endorsement.

ys >>>>>>> graduation, i realize that ethan will call me gay, but its true

i realize that ethaneveryone will call me gay, but its true
