Kanye West's new 2018 album

Gman - my post about walker was when drunk and I meant drift N here comes the ball, clearly I forgot about the last two. I’m more of a fan of his earlier work and find his new stuff unlistenable but I loved the doc which just made it seem funny to me. I have no place saying or sucks tho it’s just not for me

all of these kanye-produced mini-albums are gross and shit. self-obsessed bad music that fuckheads everywhere are proclaiming the future of rap. gnomic bombast is not innovation, it's the strop of a cunt who fears being irrelevant

Hmmmm...yeah!

imago, if you don't like the Pusha album maybe just stop having opinions on rap

the Pusha album isn't really that different from any other Pusha album, any reading it in to any big Kanye narrative is bullshit

unless you like just started paying attention to someone that's been around for 20 years because of Kanye

and like Nas albums being a hodgepodge of brilliance and demented gross shit is also standard

An' you just can't leave that imago alone
I wonder, have you tried

FP touched down, I'm so grateful

obviously the Pusha album is the least bad of the three - I give it 5/10

really gross cover concept though

anyway, 15 minutes is the new 22 minutes - Whack World is the rap y'all should be paying attention to

unless you like just started paying attention to someone that's been around for 20 years because of Kanye

You know me

I think I wanted it to like Kids See Ghosts when I first heard it so I gave it another shot expecting it to sound entirely boring, but I still like the title track and the Louis Prima thing.

ye >>>>> kids see ghosts

>Daytona>>>Nasir

"Lift Yourself" might be his 2018 stand out.

i think im

daytona > ye >>> nas > kids see ghosts

ye is mostly great if u ignore his verses

"Lift Yourself" >>>>>>>>>>>>> the other stuff

1. it’s called poopity scoop 2. it was funny for a week 3. best songs on any of the albums is better

i was in my friend's car and passed two guys in a convertible playing poopity scoop on max.

the beat on lift yourself before poopity scoop is better than any beat on ye

ye is good ppl

i'll ride for Ghost Town

flopson you repeating it's good does not make me enjoy it as I have listened to it with me own 2 ears I hate it

do you like ‘all mine’ or ‘wouldn’t leave’?

Who me? Well whatever. All Mine: Na. that medullaoblongata part grates. Wouldn't Leave a distant second to Ghost Town. I got a gentle mental.

NY Times piece is interesting: Kanye comes across relatively sympathetically, not that this somehow makes ye a good record or excuses his comments. " just standing up and saying what you feel, and not even doing a lot of research on it" - you are so close and yet so far from understanding what the problem is here.

daytona & KTSE are p good

yea KTSE is great

"Reborn" on Kids See Ghosts sounds good on its own on a playlist.

KSG holds up surprisingly well for me. I didn't even like it that much the first time around, but Freeee and Reborn keep popping into my head. Though in the case of "Freee" my mental version replaces "i don't feel pain anymore" with "i don't wa-bang anymore." no idea why.

never heard a kanye record until now. listening to yeezus for the first time, shit's dope

You should try illmatic

Kanye's strongest album is Liquid Swords imo

Would ride for Death Certificate

oh, you scamps

Even though the hook isn’t great, I’d rank “Wouldn’t Leave” as one of his top songs

I strongly believe pre MBDTF Kanye the really great rap producer >>> Kanye the important troubled "genius"

I don't think it's a coincidence that Daytona and KTSE, the two that seem like him making fairly conventional records in the style of the respective artists are so far and away better than the other half baked junk straining to be "important"

Gotta say, the flip of this is pretty brilliant, (samples are at 1:06 and 1:18):

If nothing else he's still got his ear.

does he do a lot of the production anymore or he like a george lucas type thing now? like his dudes pick out a bunch of stuff and they he just okays it?

i know he made a big deal about "hand producing" Nas's album (which has the worst production of any of these), so I didn't know if it was a Dr. Dre type thing where he's just taking credit for daz or mel man's or whoever's beats

“Troubled genius” era Kanye does have MBDTF and TLOP, two of my least favorite albums of his, but then there’s Yeezus which I love & is maybe the most troubled genius-ish of all. So idk, maybe more hit-and-miss but I’m OK with it.

This is the first album of his I’ve had a “it’s fine” response to, nothing really wrong with it but haven’t come back to it much. Think the beat at the end of the first track is v cool though.

My sense is he pieces together other people’s contributions, although it looked like the Pusha album had a couple tracks where it was just him credited on production. Of course you could say his co-producers maybe aren’t as good on their own, but then you could also say possibly the same’s true of him right now - I don’t know.
