COSIGN BOTH

"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.

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

i like this more than kanye's

I'd rank the good friday leaks:

so appalled
monster
lord lord lord
devil in new dress
power remix
good fridays

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

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

or hell, philadelphia freeway, since you bring him up

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

bw's list is pretty much otm

i'd switch the first two and last two

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

^^^^^^^

yeah that post is otm

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

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?

i think he's gone from having a lame pun here & there having verses full of lame puns

really, the only song (of his own) he's put out this year that I've actively disliked is "power" (and its remix)

oh and that beyonce joint that i forgot existed until right this very. bleh.

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

man, fuck a dude making a 7/10 album

huh

joshing

ugh, wtf. i hate that word.
