Kanye West discussion

[BoMac]

I really, really, really like that.

 

[Cancer45]

Eh it was alright

 

[cobl04]

I think I loved the image of a pack of black men with flamethrowers more than the actual song. It's an exciting time to be a hip-hop fan. I listened to Tetsuo & Youth the other day, quite good, and it too is very politically-charged.

 

[DaveC]

I'm listening to Yeezus from start to finish for the first time right now.

It's really really good.

 

[nielsgov]

It is.

That song he performed at the Brits also gives me hope for the new album. More of that please.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't have the slightest idea what this album is going to sound like, but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[DaveC]

Holy sweet shit, that really is as good as they say. One of the most creative works of art of the decade, to be sure. Wow.

 

[DaveC]

Now I'm conflicted. I heard Morning Phase and Yeezus both for the first time today.

I feel like I need to pick a side here.

 

[nielsgov]

Have you heard Twisted Fantasy?

[BoMac]

I still listen to Yeezus at least once a week.

 

[LemonMelon]

Twisted Fantasy is the best album of the decade. Anyone who hasn't heard it needs to, even if they don't like hip hop.

 

[DaveC]

The last Kanye West album I heard from front to back was Late Registration.

I'll check out Twisted Fantasy next.

 

[BoMac]

By the way, he apologized to Beck on Twitter yesterday and, strangely, to Bruno Mars as well.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't know what he did to Bruno Mars, but I know he wants him for the hook on an upcoming single.

 

[bono_212]

Now I'm conflicted. I heard Morning Phase and Yeezus both for the first time today.

I feel like I need to pick a side here.

That would be Beyonce and Morning Phase you'd need to pick between .

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I still listen to Yeezus at least once a week.

That's weird.

 

[BoMac]

That's weird.

Why? I rotate it as part of my workout music, not that I need to justify why I frequently listen to an album I enjoy.

he was just being GAF. I still listen to it frequently as well.

MBDTF is it, tho

 

[Mofo]

well this is nice, http://www.loser.com

 

[LemonMelon]

That's pretty funny, actually.

Wonder why it doesn't link to either of these:

studio version of All Day. can't say I'm a big fan, honestly.

that's Macca whistling at the end, too.

 

[LemonMelon]

It's not as good as the live version, but he's such a great performer. We were just spoiled is all.

Really fun song. Killer beat, very 90s techno mixed with Chicago drill. The synthesizers sound great.

 

[bono_212]

I mostly really like it. Some minor complaints that I'll forget about by the third time I've heard it.

 

[BoMac]

He also spoke at Oxford, of all places:

[Cancer45]

I'm just going to wait until the album comes out. So far with the songs he has released they have been underwhelming for me so as of now I'm waiting for kendrick to release his album.

 

[LemonMelon]

Kendrick's album will probably be superior, or at least more focused. GKMC was better than (the still great) Yeezus, so it's not like it's never happened before.

But Ye's album will still be cutting edge and superior to 99% of hip hop out there.

 

[cobl04]

I absolutely expect Kendrick's album to be better but everything Kanye does is an event.
