Kanye West - Dark Twisted Fantasy

it sounds only like something that only kanye would think is profound

xp

What a terrible title. And I think 808s and Heatbreak is kinda a great title.

Heartbreak*

I bought the "Power" MP3 today and you can really d-_-b out to all the sounds that are happening. Dude is really on some Reznor flyentology shit these days, esp with that Ross track

also everyone I know who heard the 5 or 6 tracks he's showing around to journalists was saying they are A++++ and totally frantic/crazy/wild

i like the "power" beat a lot, but i think "live fast, die young" is kind of a mess of a production

his rapping is way better on LFDY tho

i'm willing to give kanye tons of preliminary leeway when it comes to his solo stuff, but i'm entirely skeptical of his ability to rap right now in a way that isn't incredibly annoying

i'm really most interested in what he's doing sonically on this album

i think it's the best thing on the Ross album and easily one of my fave songs of the year. But then again I like Ministry and El-P and JG Thirwell and whatev

Yeah, I mean if the new album is 15 tracks of that he can moon june spoon for all I care

i had no interest in watching those a capella facebook hq videos

"dark twisted blonde dykes" vs "dark twisted klondikes"

seriously though, i'm unrealistically psyched for this album too

i really like this new one!

it's nice that it's not OVERBEARINGLY EPIC as "power" or "run this town" but is able to be a bit lighter w/o being totally obnoxious like, idk, "poke her face" or w/e that song is called

Kanye working with boring-ass Lex Luger within a couple months of him starting to have hits is the quickest he's co-opted a southern cat's buzz yet.

xp I thought you had written - and was extremely excited about -

all his new shit is like two minutes long

yeah, i would love that

lol I just remembered "late orchestration" existed. did anyone actually listen to that or

i didn't really even pick up any of lex's style anyway

the drums...

anyway this song is kind of on the wack side tbh, "power" and the "monster" and "all the lights" clips >>>>>>>>

did he just invent the production posse cut

this will reach it's logical conclusion, since it is kanye...I think we could see 4 producers on

the next one

haha definitely

i really dig this!

i hate when ppl all start talking abt something on a thread but no one says what they are talking about

we're talking about producer kanye west

right, but no one has said what song you are all talking about

come on son

Clearly Tape Store is talking about "Pinocchio Story," come on son.

no need to bring tuomas into this, guys

Rev, they are talking about the latest track released from this album, See Me Now (Feat. Beyonce & Charlie Wilson)

It is listenable on Kanye's blog: http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/2010/08/see-me-now-feat-beyonce-charlie-wilson/

The song is alright. It's more album material than singles material. But anyway, I still don't see the need of two singers though. Either one would've been fine, plus really three producers??? However, I'm just not getting excited for this album even though it has all the ingredients for me to get excited like having Madlib, Pete Rock and DJ Premier producing. A guest verse from Nicki Minaj (yes I know, but I like her). But something about this seems so meh. I kinda feel like he should've hung it up as a rapper after 808's and Heartbreaks and just be a producers. However, his new productions though easy on the ears have lost my interests. Hopefully, this album will change my mind.

i dont like this but i cant imagine liking anything he releases

i don't mind this but it's way too long and is kind of a more boring retread of "gone" (which haha is also 6 minutes long but never seemed too long)

kanye's pretty terrible at high culture references :/

i still lol every time i see DARK TWISTED FANTASY btw, i don't think i've yet processed that that's actually gonna be the actual title

was pretty haps to enjoy this on a lazy big boi tip at first (even laughed at chocolatey socrates, sorry) but once he said "i know you thinkin this that yeezy we all love” the jig was rather up. not usual for ye's needyness to draw for outright nostalgia like this - seems he really has been cowed somewhat after recent events.

didn't i start listening to this song about 28 minutes ago? END ALREADY

I can't help but find the name to this hilariously bad like the rest of y'all.

his stuff has ALWAYS had co-producers, and starting on the last couple albums often more than one -- "Good Life" was Kanye/Toomp/Mike Dean/Timbaland, "Coldest Winter" was Kanye/Jeff Bhasker/No I.D., etc.

thank you Prof. Some Dude. i'm talking about the production lineup being part of his "I'M DOING SOMETHING PAY ATTENTION" talking points

I do remember him being like, "and then Timbaland added his drums" I guess that was "Good Life"

this song sucks by the way.

omg the louvre line seems ridiculous even for kanye

For some reason hearing Beyoncé use the n word was kind of shocking to me
