Kanye West - Dark Twisted Fantasy

i just didn't have the extra scrilla, man. what'd the deluxe have?

the "Runaway" video on DVD

btw what is this first track doing

I looked long and hard at the deluxe version before going "you know what? no"

hope you actually said this out loud to some guy just passing you down the aisle

buying hotly awaited new albums at a record store pre-2004 > buying a hotly awaited new album at target in 2010

okay this song ("Dark Fantasy") is an ongoing lol

you probably shouldn't talk about how you're just a nigga with a nice flow and then go on to do what he does on the rest of that song, like rhyming "seance" with "parents"

wait did this just stop and then restart

I probably should not be listening to this on my shitty work headphones as I think I'm missing half of the backing track for "Gorgeous"

kanye should've let dan do the commentary track

btw if ppl are annoyed by me liveblogging my first impressions of the album, I'll move to another thread

also "Gorgeous" will eventually grow on me but it feels very static on first listen

omg the "roach"/"coach" bit, lol @ u Kanye

are you joking, yr liveblog is the best thing that could have happened to this thread

loooooool all those ppl who forgot about Kanye's black balls should go check whatever hip-hop site that was that had his dickpic

no, your reactions are likely to be more entertaining than the album actually

xp yeah yeah yeah

... why is there a mournful guitar solo in this song

a few more embellishments and I'd be like "Santana? Is that you?"

all those ppl who forgot about Kanye's black balls

pretty sure this is the album's dedication

also for the record: the opening of "Power" is still incredibly bad-ass

(kind of can't believe how a stark megalomaniacal performance with hot dancers changed my mind on this song so quickly)

(tho I do stand by my original assertion that a d&b beat would have been cooler on it) (lol I should skip to the Aphex song)

if yer gonna use "21st century schizoid man" as a sting cue you better follow it up with some banging shit but I got left hanging

is the Fergie rap before or after 3:20? that's my favorite part.

This one, meanwhile, is just a chore to listen to.

This is how I feel about "All of The Lights" generally

I hate that he says "obamination" instead of "abomination"

if fripp will license that shit to you then go for the gusto man

although it's funny that the mournful guitar solo actually makes sense in this song

in all the songs, this album's pretty emo

lol piano and violin

this sounds kind of like a Tori Amos instrumental outtake

hoppin' on board yr liveblogtrain for my second listen, hope u don't mind

well I was not expecting that

haha yeah it's kind of a cool moment

part of me keeps thinking that Kanye heard Bjork's "Wanderlust" and was like "if I slightly screw that it would be DOPE"

also I don't know who it was who told Rihanna that it was possible to not bray every note like a sexy donkey while singing but I would like to shake that vocal coach's hand

lmao

oh shit, "Monster" is starting very very well

I want to bounce bounce bounce to this

yeah I think it sounds really good as a change of pace/direct contradiction of "All of the Lights"... but it still gets boring like halfway thru, sadly

"she just won a swallowship"

did I just hear that

my god I love this

i think "monster" is great despite a few super awkward lines

Jay-Z, your Achillies heel is your startling lack of cardio

oh my god

Am I really hearing Nicki Minaj... making sense and not being entirely punchable?

holy fucking shit that was a great great verse

and I fucking DETEST her with every fiber of my being, or at least I did before hearing that

buying a hotly awaited new album at target in 2010

me a little while ago tbh

haha I can just imagine in the studio "now, take us home, Bon Iver!"

oh man was this yr first time hearing that song? yeah, it is a really good Nicki Minaj verse dude

I think I have been hearing every bad song she's done because oh my GOD that was fucking TIGHT

lol I can tell already "So Appalled" is going to be one of those songs that I will fall in love with for absolutely no reason

okay maybe not after that "Prada"/"ta-da!" couplet

The awesomeness of Minaj's bit= closest thing to consensus.

lol Jay-Z

"all y'all can suck my BALLZ through my DRAWAZ"

oh ha this is the verse that got him in trouble with Hammer, isn't it

that line is jay-z's lowest low point imo

so, you know what this shit is?

that's right, it's FUCKIN RIDICULOUS (just in case you weren't sure)
