Kanye West - Dark Twisted Fantasy

and much more in his recent stuff

there's less actually orchestration than on late registration (easily my fave of his albums), but the arrangements are still pretty dramatic

actual orchestration i mean

ilxor says something stupid that everyone ignores because no one pays any attention to him

Always and forever. <3

I can't believe some of you guys actually clicked on that link, I avoided it like the plague!

"How dare he say that, I must PROVE HIM RIGHT"

looooooooooooool

it wasn't linked originally

Whiney, for the record, 1) I was joking, and, 2) my comment "speaking from exp." was open-ended enough to mean you could be sending *or* receiving said pics. But obviously in linking that photo, you've narrowed it down a bit for us all.

xxxxxxp I actually like the "best i ever had" vid don't get why every1 hates it

BOOBS. IN SLOW MOTION. WHAT IS THERE TO HATE.

"Kanye West’s fifth studio album entitled My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will be in stores on Monday, November 22nd." Not so sure about this. Dark Twisted Fantasy is strong enough title, but is this real one an improvement? Verges on Morrissey territory, but I think it will grow on me. This was always the title though, according to West:

that album title is a little like Morrissey and Beyonce had a baby

Holy hell. It's like he said, "Man, I don't think Dark Twisted Fantasy is a bad enough album title... how can I make that shit worse??"

^^

It's like My Little Pony, but more rapey.

i want him to add more and more to that title.

^^had same thought

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Fantasy

ha

My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted, Terrible, Gay, Homo, Awful, House, Music, Fantasy

would def be the most accurate possible title

i don't know about the album title, but the tracks he's been releasing are amazing. he's the best celebrity we've got, no matter what you think of his personality. he's talented, he's an asshole, he's conflicted, he's got clout with everyone... and his tracks have been the shit. if this album is anything like the "g.o.o.d. friday" stuff he's been releasing, it's gonna be a masterpiece. some of the best hip-hop and, more importantly, some of the best pop i've heard in years. kanye's the biggest fool (court style) and the biggest ego and the biggest genius we've seen in a while. that's not something to ignore. ridicule all you want, but he's a guy they'll be talking about in 20 years. "g.o.o.d. friday" already kicks the shit off of any pop album released this year. if he's smart, he's kept the best shit back. we shall see.

didn't know Good Ass Job was in the running fr title. would've been great imo

what zeitgeist-grabbing guests/producers/samples do you think will be on this one? my predictions are Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon, Nicki Minaj, and Hall & Oates.

And he references "Sex On Fire". So well done

Looool at the cover the label supposedly "banned"

http://twitpic.com/2ykwq0

yeah that's really something

i refuse to even download the album if that's the cover

i can't wait for the pitchfork OMG WTF CRAZY COVER EVERY1 news story

I don't know, part of me just really wants to watch Kanye disappear further down this rabbit hole of crazy.

I like the cover? It's funny as hell, and I like the enormous red border.

kanyewest Kanye West
In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now.

Holy hell that is fantastic.

Like the song. Love the album cover.

I don't understand the hate (and frankly the homophobic jokes) directed to Kanye. I was telling my friends yesterday that Kanye personifies the "awkward black middle class kid." I think that's why I can relate to him to an extent. I like his awkwardness and need to be bombastic/ambitious. So I don't mind his personality because at the end of the day I think his music is good. The majority of the GOOD Friday songs have been interesting synthesis of old school-type productions with Kanye's quirks. Though I do worry if he the album will be of high quality due to the already high quality of the leaks. Will any of these leaks make it to the album? Sometimes I feel like he bites more than he can chew but that suspense is very appreciated (especially directed towards a hip hop artist).

BTW, that album cover is kind of meh to me.

he may well be an asshole, but he's our asshole.

goddamn @ "Take One For the Team"

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((do_ob))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

less said about the rapping the better of course but this production is def a better look than a lot of the more florid shit he's been doing for this project

i hope there's a second disc with all these jams

he said the album version of runaway is going to be 8 minutes long
