it seems at this point like this album almost has to be a double CD, unless they leave a lot of these leaks off the album or only have them on a 'deluxe edition'

I like how the homepage had the article title w/ the NSFW in it, yet right above it there was a cropped picture of the album cover where you could still see a lot of the stuff that makes the cover NSFW-worthy

that's actually not as funny as i was expecting -- it didn't even have a capitalized internet abbreviation in the subhead a la the weezer stories

when Breihan wrote a PF news thing about the "Power" single cover being sooo crazy i taunted him about it a bit on Twitter because, seriously, stuff like that (and most of the other artwork/videos/TV appearances involved in this album so far) just looks to me like "yeah, that's definitely what Kanye stuff looks like these days, big fuckin deal." i mean the College Dropout cover was vaguely ballsy and WTF at the time because it wasn't really clear yet what level he was operating on and how much he'd conform to expectations, but now it's all just like yeah yeah Kanye being cuh-razy, whatever.
― underrated bobos I have honked (some dude), Monday, 18 October 2010 18:10 (thirteen years ago) link
well circa college dropout he also had more on his mind than the failure of pussy buffets to fill the mom-shaped hole in his heart

hmmm....album cover looks like some third tier SST band cover from like 89

it's a cover that longs to be in a dollar bin, it's just got that feel

so fuckin extra boring how everyone automatically spazzes out over the big minimal abrasive track every predictable time... cut out and keep this handy guide you lames

when you have to stop in the middle of song to announce "we got good music in the house" it is not really a good sign imho

oh damn I'm pretty slow. yeah I guess that makes it... a little better.
as for the song: I mean the beat's... not intolerable... but hardly great either. still haven't heard anything to dispel my suspicions that this whole thing is on some self-indulgent coked-out-rockstar bullshit (astonishing new heights of egomania, 6-minute-long trainwrecks, keyboard solos)

like his news-cycle moments tend to annoy me but once he's expressing that shit musically it tends to get the damn job done

he really should not be rapping at this point -- feel like he should just be doing 'concepts' and productions & picking random collaborators
― truly blunted rhyme fiend (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
or he should get rhymefest to ghostwrite again
yeah, that's fairly otm
― straight outta furnace (The Reverend), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I dunno y'all I just don't find the songs compelling (or even listenable) -- it's like he's writing for an imaginary audience that has approximately zero overlap with anything people in the real world enjoy about music

i feel the same way except trust me there are millions upon millions of people who either worship everything Kanye does and treat every new song like an unprecedented masterpiece or are just so into the whole aesthetic he's been building the last few years that this stuff really does sound amazing to them. funny thing is my favorite album of his is Late Registration, which some people disliked for the same reasons (bloated, overproduced, random, etc.), but to me Kanye was rapping as well as he ever has on that album and was still writing songs about actual topics instead of just grandstanding/pop culture reference/pun Kanye mad libs.

but i guess it must be true. i always forget that i really liked 808s
i wish any of these good friday leaks were even BAD enough to be interesting - when kanye's actual output is just boringly adequate it makes it a lot harder to care about what crazy thing he's done on twitter today
also people need to stop retweeting him! seriously!

― underrated bobos I have honked (some dude), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 19:33 (thirteen years ago) link
but yeah i don't know if you guys are seriously doubting me or what, but trust me, Kanye's fanbase is HUGE right now, probably bigger than it's ever been
