Dj 86 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 On the whole.....I'm not really digging this new album. A few good tracks....but not something I would listen to more than a week or so. The skits are really stupid to me, and his flow, voice, and lyrics really irratate me for some reason....his over inflated ego maybe? I personally can't listen to him rap for more than a verse or two, but his beats kept me listening. The majority of beats on this sound like "throw-aways" to me. The best tracks are the ones that were released on the radio already. I still can't get over the fact that he used the classic Curtis Mayfield "Move On Up" sample. That beat sounds real good to me. I was really hyped about this album because I was expecting the beats to be on par with "College Drop Out". I was glad he stoped using the chipmonk sped up samples, but let down cause I was expecting more from the self appointed "New Pete Rock".... hahhahahaha what was he thinking?? Looks like he was trying to push the envelope on this album and wound up making it a little too far to the left IMO. I give it a 3 out of 5 rating.. But I'm a certified player hater..so don't take my word for it.
Apollo Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Thanks for the word up, 86. Just one question...how have you heard it??? The album isn't supposed to drop until the 30th.

Krush2k2 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I cant stand Kayne West One thing I hate worse than a rapper who just raps drugs and hos cars and clothes is one who mixes Jesus in it-not to mention his stereotypical near racism lyrics "the white folks dont want us to eat" "Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack And a white man get paid off of all of that" Not to mention his persona outside of music, downing artists who won an award he didnt and constantly whining about this and that. Kayne is probably one of my least fav rappers

Nathan Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Big Bank Kanye, out with a new album already. I won't be copping this -- I can't stand the guy. He has got to be the biggest whiner in hip-hop.

Krush2k2 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Tupac didnt market his music to make money off of Jesus
Krush2k2 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Kayne would be like if a preacher had a sermon released about Jesus and how he saves, then when you attend his church your offered drugs and hoes at the entrance. His lead single was Jesus Walks then the rest of the album, altho nice beats, had substance of drugs, hoes, etc... Tupac didnt put out a Christian single and make money off of it then use that to have people buy his album. Kayne used the God rollercoaster to sell, I just dont like him.
Decipher Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I got the album last friday, its good, but not as WOW as his first. His beats are very solid. the song Roses brought tears to my eyes because i am going through the same thing right now with my Grandmother. The song addiction is my fave. (Common has one of the best verses on the whole album). There is a song with Paul Wall called Drive Slow, K Rocks verse is flawless.(you can fast forward paul walls part, it is pretty worthless, im very suprised he is on the album) Buy it if you are a fan.
