"devil in a new dress" is good but it's really disappointing to see kanye retracing his own footsteps like that. i'd pretty much rather see him do something that was bad but unquestionably new than retreating into familiarity. like, as much as i don't really like 808s, i'm glad he wasn't contenting himself to do the same thing twice.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't agree that "devil in a new dress" is a retread for him -- even tho both ye & bink are obv big soul sample dudes, i think they use samples in totally different ways, generally speaking -- "devil in a new dress" (and shit that bink as done for freeway i.e.) is way denser & more florid than the way ye usually treats soul samples i think -- much heavier on the vocal sample & the maudlin qualities of the vocal sample

it's too bad that the power remix has such shit verses cuz the 'the power' sample was a great idea & was super fun to hear
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 September 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
haha, as if florid and maudlin aren't adjectives that could describe kanye to a t. sure, it leans more heavily on a simple loop than a kanye production probably would, but it is pretty much 95% like a pre-dropout kanye beat. shit wouldn't have sounded remotely out of place on like, the blueprint 2. xps

i agree with this, except for the part about "devil" being good, imo that's probably the worst of these new songs

there are plenty of artists i've cared about and actively followed for years and years but man i really just can't give a damn about Kanye anymore, haven't even heard half those songs. i feel like he's this new Bob Dylan-level critical sacred cow and this album will be hailed as a classic even if down the road people realize oh it's whatever.

i can see that
people going apeshit over "lost in the world" and I'm kind of like "eh...."
i'm more interested in the aftermath of this album, 808s is kind of responsible for Kid Cudi/Drake/et al.

Kanye has Jay working with Madlib & Pete Rock, Nas w/ RZA, etc. so maybe he can kickstart the whole 90s/boom-bap revivalism w/ modern touch that's bound to happen

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.

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
