Kanye West - Dark Twisted Fantasy

idk he was like, hopping around a mic stand on top of a paper mache volcano in front of an Imax movie about the Himalayas, what's so great about it?

you pretty much just answered your own question there

it was very Kanye, altho he should've come off the mountain after like minute 2

dude it's a family show

ew >:o

i'm sure it looked pretty hokey in person, but the fact that they managed to get some of those snow globe shots on the BET awards' shoestring budget (how many rappers mics worked properly? half?) has got to be some sort of success.

also i like to imagine that after the song ended and they wheeled his paper maiche volcano backstage he just stayed up there for the remainder of the show.

i get that everything Kanye does is really about being 'grandiose' or 'forward-thinking' or whatever, but when he uses the same kinds of gestures over and over to that end, it really just comes off kind of anti-climactic and bereft of ideas. i mean, i know Kanye wants people to go HOLY SHIT after a performance like that, i just can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would.

― Opinions are a lot like assholes. You've got LOTS of BOTH of them. (HI DERE)

Actual LOL, thanks to you both.

haha totally

this sounds like crack music. i mean, one of the reasons i was a big 808s defender is because i took it as a momentary diversion, not a future direction, but it still sounded hella fresher than this. and damn dude just can't stay away from austin powers.

haha i thought that perf was kinda endearingly cheapo compared to his usual big deals, i dunno

dude couldve saved a couple extra bucks and seen if the temple from lost was still in storage somewhere imo

xp yeah i imagine this will be a back-to-kanye-basics comfort album, maybe with some gil scott heron type agitatory b.s thrown in

i don't really mind personally - at very least i think it's a well-judged move and exactly what ppl want from him again whether they enjoy that fact or not

what's up with his voice on this rap today, it's kinda drake-y

every time I hear that song, I just want to listen to King Crimson

here's a totally awesome version of Norwegian deathjazz crew Shining doing "21st Century Schizoid Man" that ALSO CAME OUT THIS YEAR which is better than the Kanye version any day of the week

"Is that apple not up to your usual standards, well then here's an ORANGE!"

shut the fuck up, he's always been a bit of an anti-climb Max (jon /via/ chi 2.0)

Seriously dude? Fuck off right back at you then. I take back any nice things I said about you.

shining are boring

"Is that apple not up to your usual standards, well then here's an ORANGE!"

big lol from over here

damn, i was only kidding dude :(

u_u

Gee, hard to believe I might misconstrue "shut the fuck up".

the thing is, when you write mean shit in a deadpan style most people can't actually tell that you're kidding

i pretty much never mean it when i tell somebody to stfu on ilx :/

So much for that 2009 Whiney thread where you declared yourself Mr. Positive for a week or so, amirite?

shut the fuck up, ilxor

this post is otm, 808s as much as i like it at least was a one-off, now he's like "back to saving rap!" and it's his same old same old. and i kept thinking of the song today and getting "Crack Music" stuck in my head instead.

hug it out, dudes

i pretty much never mean it when i tell somebody to stfu on ilx :/

ilxor and jon, i have nothing but love, you don't really have to stfu afaik

stfu

loooooooool I come on this thread expecting nowt but rolling snap and Whiney's only gone and posted a track from my (about as non-snap as it's possible to be) album of the year so far

o_O

also wait does he sample 21CSM?! that's one of my favourite songs ever, must hear this now

Have any of the Madlib-produced Kanye tracks leaked yet?

love the background (although they're really more like foreground) vocals on that kanye track. it reminds me more of the choir on lil wayne's "best rapper alive" than "crack music".

love that early 70s hand drawn album art steez he ripped off for hte single cover but drawing a blank on albums that were inspiration for it

dug 'power' when it came on the radio today but it came on right after 'omg' and I went 'hmm'

'The album is no longer called 'Good Ass Job' I'm bouncing a couple of titles around now'

Almost misread that.

huh

Also, no shoutouts to Perez Hilton anymore plz.

bouncing a couple of titties obv

Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )
about 1 hour ago via web

he performed some songs acapella at the Facebook offices... "chain heavy" and "mama's boyfriend" sound great

Too many shout outs, Mozart

If the new title is indeed Dark Twisted Fantasy, that might actually be worse than Good Ass Job.
