Don't forget that he's also a gay fish :v:

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.

Here's the studio version of the song from the VMAs: http://www.inflexwetrust.com/2010/09/13/kanye-west-runaway/

Not the strongest we've heard, but it's... uh... interesting.

I thought it was just as good as Power :shobon:

It's got me even more excited for the new album now.

Kanye West Springs A Leak
Tuesday, November 09, 2010 2:47 PM

Kanye West’s new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, has hit the internet in a way that the rapper probably isn’t pleased with.

The version of the opus in circulation is a clean version with no profanity.

http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2010/11/09/22476499.aspx

Looks like I'll be waiting til retail to hear this in its entirety, despite how much I want to listen to it now.

Well I was attempting to avoid the Chris Rock ending spoiler if anyone was saving themselves til the actual album came out.

I honestly like the outro after a couple listens. It's like a skit from CD or LR except well executed.

He was on the album's Wiki on the list of collaborators when I checked yesterday. Although I just checked, and that list has been removed :(

There was somebody else that I remember being surprised to see on there, but I can't remember who and I can't check it now.

Blame Game is much better on the album than the minute or two long preview I heard of it a few weeks ago on YouTube. That's to be expected, but still. When I heard that the song sampled Aphex Twin and featured John Legend, I had high hopes for it. Then that preview didn't sound great, but this is totally restoring my faith in it.

edit: Woah, Lost In The World is blowing me away too. drat. Every track on this album is massive.

Otis isn't half as good as H.A.M. :( Pretty disappointed. On one hand, this album is getting quite a bit of hype. On the other hand, this first single is pretty lame and H.A.M. has been moved to bonus track status which doesn't make a lot of sense to me since that track is loving massive. The rest of the album better be as great as a lot of people are hoping it will be.

Listening to it now (just got done Illest Motherfucker Alive and just started Why I Love You), and I'm really enjoying it. It doesn't sound like it'll be as replayable as My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but a lot of the verses are ridiculous and I dig the flow.

I was just giving you a hard time; "guest star" is typically TV vocabulary for an actor not normally on the show and it sounded a bit weird. "Features" or simply "guests" would be most appropriate for rap :)

Those visuals are loving crazy. Reminds me of when Shoshanna projects herself in the movie theater at the end of Inglorious Basterds. I'd probably be freaked the gently caress out if I was just walking by a building and saw that come on.

That one easily surpasses some of the stuff on MBDTF.

And New Slaves sounds way better than it did projected on a building wall. The bass is nuts and the visuals are crazy for this as well.

Interesting...

So is the actual CD case gonna look like that? All scratched up and torn? And will the outline of the CD actually be the outline of the CD, and the gold foil is just that shape on top of the CD and not actually a full album art insert? Or is all of that just the art insert and the case/CD are going to look different?

Either way, it's badass. I like the rebellious style he seems to be going with on this one.
