I'll never understand what is good rock music, unless it is blues influenced rock music. It all sounds bad to me. Pretty much why I don't love MBDTF because it is barely a rap album.

Yeah, I mean my favorite Kanye album has always been Late Registration not MBDTF but every year I go back to it and College Dropout they seem to hold up less and less somehow (probably because I've just listened to them too much/nostalgia). I agree with people who feel Graduation wasn't super essential if only because it kind of feels like the Kanye album that drifted by me without much impact.
As long as he actually raps for most of this new album I'll be satisfied.


edit: also I feel like everytime someone brought up Spark Master Tape there'd be some dude going "Pshhh, he's just an inferior version of X" but I don't remember exactly what. Can anyone fill for X, because I'm going through withdrawal with this mystery man mystery disappeared and no sign of Silhouette of a Sunkken City any time soon.

He's kinda a ugly mane/captain murphy hybrid imo. Has lyrics and delivery and part of the old memphis style in his stuff, with the song structure and sampling that was on captain murphy. Fwiw I don't think he's exactly inferior, just different.

I like Twin Peugots from Blue Chips 2 enough that I don't skip his verse. I don't know that I'd necessarily listen to that lil ty song ever again.

You know Kanye is quality when the general consensus "worst album" features Stronger (overplayed but tight at the time), Good Life, Can't Tell Me Nothin, Everything I am, The Glory, Big Brother, Homecoming and Flashing Lights. Personally i really enjoyed Barry Bonds, but I'm not sure how good the song actually is. There isn't a Kanye West album i don't like a goodly amount, even 808's.


I would also say that for me College Dropout will always be his best album because the themes resonate with me. It is also interesting to hear the dichotomy between the way Kanye West envisioned himself dealing with fame and how he has actually done so. CD and Yeezus as bookend albums are really intriguing glimpses into his psyche

Flashing Lights is one of my favorite Kanye beats with some of my least favorite Kanye verses but it's still great.

The R Kelly remix of Flashing Lights is arguably better than the original. In fact every time I hear the original, when it starts up, I have to fill in "AND NOW WE IN THE CLUB LIKE" and "OH WOAHHHHH OHHHHH OHHHHH" out of habit.

Jadakiss was probably begging to be on that kids song, probably didn't even request his usual $800 for a verse

It's A LOT more pathetic from Jada's standpoint than it is the kids
