Kanye West - Dark Twisted Fantasy

its a rapper requirement

is that antony hegarty on that shit

this would be better as a bon iver song

rick ross

so was that short video for "Power" the full thing or was it just a trailer?

I also just noitced that b. Søderb3rg cited ME in a post on the supposed subversive nature of it under "further reading/viewing" links on his blog

Fucking Blogging.

guessing this is the RZA track... beat is gorgeous, overpowers kanye tho he's kind of zzzz on this

this sounds pretty good

needs to be mastered tho

that joint is bink

yeah that doesnt sound like rza. dope beat, kinda wasted :(

damn nicki went HARD

more rap writing that evokes Foucault:

http://www.villagevoice.com/2003-01-07/news/foucault-s-turntable/

i always remember that stuff because i went to a swamp-trash Florida college that never taught me who Foucault was, tbh

hahaha

i only know about foucault because a kick-ass part-time prof happened to teach at my eastern-shore-of-md school while i was there

the other philosophy staff wouldn't have touched him with a ten foot pole

so i have a bunch of mf texts from classes and others i bought or was given after graduation, most of which i haven't had time to read

man if it wasn't a new rza beat i'd swear that devil in a new dress beat was a leftover from the blueprint

anyway, "kanye is working on his PhD in philosophy," discuss

Shouldn't he get a bach and a masters first?

isn't it a bink beat?

late as fuck obv but "monster" is dope no idea why ppl are hating on jay or kanye's verses both of which kinda remind me why i liked those guys in the first place

I need to hear "Monster" but I can't be bothered, I'll probably wait until the CD comes out then I'll pay $10.99 for it on Amazon and then realize it doesn't even have the track "Monster" on it once Kanye finalizes the track listing and I'll be fucked out of $10.99 and go to YouTube about 4 months after everyone else does.

"remind me why i liked those guys in the first place" is totally wrong. it's more like it provides much more viable paths they could have gone down.

sounds more dropout-era

and i guess it's not rza actually?

also:

is kanye really going to end up calling his album "dark twisted fantasy"?

u_u

I love how jay-z raps about not getting enough love

listing monsters & dreaming of loooove?

tom b's pfork review was otm imo

lol define "viable"

a jay-z concept album where he raps as a different type of monster on every track would be awes obv

especially "ghooooooul"

someone plz make that happen

I have a feeling jay-z would do a great nosferatu

we on that norman mailer shit

i think listing monsters is acceptable on a song called "monster"

i never said its not 'acceptable' its just hokey

everybody wanna know what my achilles heel is

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE

^^ never fails to bring the lols

otm

Yeah that's a terrible moment. Worse than listing the monsters, which I less of a problem with.

Remember when Jay had great moments like in "I Just Wanna Love You" where he sang all off-key I WISH I NEVER MET YOU AT ALL. This is like that but shit. FAIL.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE

Reminds me of this

does rick ross really say 'kanye west samples / here's one for you to sample" ????

"Number None"

oh man, i need to dig my doom patrols out again

so far "devil in a new dress" is prolly my fave circa2010 kanye

"Runaway" is just the best.

^^^

it sounded much better live to me, studio version is a bit flat

great song tho

wish it was autotuned

Also wish it was two minutes shorter like everything else he did this year, but hey. Pusha T kind of sucks on this too, but I still love this track
