If you ever wanted to see narcissism personified you should look at Kayne's twitter. It really is something wonderful. We need more people like Kanye West in this world.

All that aside, I absolutely loved Graduation and I'm pumped on this release.

I just liked 808s and Heartbreak because it was an affirmation that Daft Punk's production styles and techniques are the standards by which a "good production" is measured these days. Maybe no one has realized it yet, but their ideas have revolutionized what we consider to be modern, mainstream music. Perhaps there is still hope for the American musical culture...

I've never been more excited to listen to top 40 bullshit radio. ;)

Listen to any of Akon's tracks or "Paranoid" by Kanye West to hear what I'm talking about. Akon completely apes the house norm of sidechaining the beat, creating a really bassy and "pumping"/"choking" sound across the mix, while Kanye uses Auto-Tune+Vocoders (another Daft Punk innovation) as well as analog synths to create the quite unique sound of the album. Did anybody notice the pseudo-Moog Voyager sound across the entire album??

I agree (I guess) but this post just makes you sound like a Daft Punk fanboy.

I never deserted Kanye, new album is gonna be awesome just like all of his other albums. Late Registration > College Dropout > 808s > Graduation. Also I don't think it's called Good-rear end Job anymore but that's liable to change ten more times.

Kanye is an insane douchebag, but he is also the most musically interesting and consistent artist in all of hip hop. I just wish he made a full video for Power instead of his weird teaser clip.

But seriously, I listened to that new track with Beyonce a few nights ago. It was actually weird hearing him without auto tune again after 808s. Wasn't a particularly strong track, but I'm still interested to see how this new album is going to turn out.

Watching that clip of the Power video now. Holy poo poo, he really is insane. And 21st Century Schizoid Man is not at all a track I'd expect Kanye West to sample.

Everyone knows that all dance music originates with Daft Punk, silly.

I am hoping for a lot but not expecting much. 808s was pretty abysmal lyrically and felt very same-ish through the production, hopefully he manages to mix it up a little better this go-around.

"I'm working on a film idea for the movie now that you saw. The 'Power' piece was basically like a trailer or moving poster or moving portrait. It's just a different take on the way to do videos."
"[We're] doing a 40-minute version of it. It's just a piece of moving art. It's made for you to project it on your wall. We're gonna do a DVD package where it will be kids' first piece of actual art that they can buy and have in their home."

Hey guys have you ever heard of Daft Punk? They pioneered sampling, dance music, autotune and vocoders.

Anyway, what has me most pumped about this album is beats coproduced by RZA, Q-Tip, Pete Rock and DJ Premier. A Premo beat getting 'Yeified should be awesome. Also its probably worth mentioning that S1 from Strange Fruit Project produced Power.

I loved 808s and Heartbreak so it's pretty much impossible for me not to like this. Plus from the leaked song titles this could be a hilarious journey of him being pissed at everyone at the beginning of the album and learning to chill the gently caress out by the end.

Power Remix posted:


(Jay-Z)

Is this thing on?
Oh, I thought they silenced us, Ye
Power to the people

You livin in that 31st century,
futuristic fly poo poo.
The Penthouse is the projects
and everybody flies private.
New watch(you know what time it is)
Watch us(You see us)
They can't stop us,
the prophets be-otches.

Rumble, young man, rumble
Life is a trip, so sometimes, we gon' stumble
You gotta go through pain in order to become you
But once the world numbs you, you'll feel like it's only one you
Now you got the power to do anything you want to
Until you ask yourself, "Is this what it's all come to?"
Lookin' at life through sunglasses and a sunroof
You have the power to get out from up under you
gently caress Rollies, labels, gently caress what everybody wants from you
They tryna Axl Rose you, welcome to the jungle
To be continued, we on that Norman Mailer poo poo
In search of the truth, even if it goes through Taylor Swift
Tell her this

......

(Kanye)

Now when I walk in, everybody do the "Power" clap
Clap, clap, clap
Fresh for the club, I just took a half an hour nap
Clap, clap, clap
I seen people go crazy on the whole world, an hour lap
Clap, clap, clap
My socket was out the plug, now it's time to get the power back
Clap, clap
I seen people abuse power, use power, misuse and then lose power
Power to the people at last, it's a new hour
Now we all ain't gon' be American Idols
But you can least grab a camera, shoot a viral
Huh? Take the power in your own hands
I'm a grown man, doin' my grown dance
I don't stop until I see the end, my vision clear, bitch
I'm on my Van Gogh, I don't hear poo poo

No one man should have all that power
The clock's tickin', I just count the hours
Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power
'Til then, gently caress that, the world's ours

And then they
And then they
And then they
And then they
And then they
And then they

Now everything I'm rhymin' on cause a Ramadan
Been a don, prayin' for the families lost in the storm
Bring our troops back from Iraq, keep our troops out of Iran
So the next couple bars, I'ma drop them in Islam
They say asalaamalaikum, wa'salaikum asalaam
That's no Oscar Mayer bacon, you should run and tell your moms
Now the question is, how we gon' stop the next Vietnam?
Keep Flex out of Korea, 'cause you know he drop bombs


......

(Swizz)

Showtime!
Hey, yo, Yeezy, stop playin' with these people, man
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

(Kanye)

What do it mean to be the boss?
It mean second place is the first one who lost
The crucifixion, the being nailed to the cross
Truth or fiction, it's a hell of a cost
Do the dishes
I'm 'bout to hit that Jeff Gordon
Michael Jordan, the only one more important
But I be feelin' like Jordan when I'm recordin'
'Cause every time I record, I duck to slap the boards
I don't know what these rappers gon' do after wars
Prolly spaz like I might do at the awards
Huh, I got the whole crowd goin' crazy
Homie, I should be rewarded
Gettin' money, Yeezy, Yeezy, how you do it, huh?
Eatin' Wheaties, drinkin' Fiji, bein' greedy, huh?
Don't even think you can allude to the rumors
I'm immune to the booze, I'm a prude to you losers
It's all in time, my nigga
See, I dreamed my whole life that I could rhyme with Jigga
Now Jay my big brother and Bey my li'l sister
And excuse me, but, you can't see my li'l sister
Number one sound across the board, hey
Number one now and forevermore, hey
Number one rule is niggas don't hate
Maybe I'll drop the album, nah, all y'all gotta wait
And on the 'Net they showin' pictures of my Cali place
My Maybach in NY, but it still got the Cali plates
All my old girls know that I'm the one that got away
I think about at Christmas, and play some Donny Hathaway
And keep my bulletproof hater coat on
Lookin' at some photos that I'm lookin' crazy dope on
Hand up, talkin' poo poo, yeah, I get my Pope on
And go home wit something to poke on
That's what Dre said, but this what 'Ye said
How 'Ye doin'? Who 'Ye screwin'?
That's for my dick to know, before you get to know 'im
She ain't give you rear end? That pussy fictional
I gotta give her the eviction note
'Tis "Get yo' rear end out, bitch, vamonos"
Five seconds to the song, and we gettin' close
I got the power, ma'fucka, if you didn't know.

If the rest of the album is even close to this quality then this is a great return to form, gently caress

I mean I love me all of kanye's stuff but definitely felt that other than his beats being awesome almost 100% of the time he hasn't gone hard like this in a while
