Kanye West discussion

GOOD Fridays is returning?!

The first GOOD Friday release was three months before the release of MBDTF, so...

New track Real Friends is on his website. It's moody and contemplative and very much in line with Only One. I can kind of hear an album starting to form.

And if you let it roll a few seconds longer it becomes A KENDRICK AND MADLB COLLABORATION HOLY FUCK

 

[nielsgov]

I think it's a lot better than Only One.

 

[LemonMelon]

I still can't get over Kanye, Kendrick and Madlib working on a track together. This is way too much, I need a moment.

 

[Salome]

Madlib is incredibly talented.

I like this track. It reminds me a lot of something else I can't quite put my finger on - I'm thinking Andy Stott or Actress in the instrumentation maybe?

Buddhist monks and Captain Crunch cereal. Yes.

 

[Cancer45]

What kanye actually rapping?

Anyway, I've been underwhelmed with basically everything kanye drop this past year but this the first I've been impressed.

 

[nielsgov]

It's been a while since Kanye went that hard on a track. It's refreshing.

 

[cobl04]

It's like him going hard on a dark version of a College Dropout beat, about 30 vintage, classic lines AND rapping laps around KDot. It's a phenomenal track.

I'm more impressed by the lyricism than the flow itself, actually. It sounded like a first or second take to me, you can hear him switch his flow around a number of times, like he's trying to get comfortable with the beat. Considering how quickly he supposedly wrote his verse, that's probably what happened.

I wouldn't be surprised if the final version has a different take, assuming it winds up on the album.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is great. And haha he's now called out the laptop thief on both fucking tracks.

 

[cobl04]

It reminds me quite a bit of Nosetalgia, actually.

 

[iron yuppie]

I wish that Motown-ish intro stuck around longer. I would love to hear him play with those sounds more often, as he does it really well.

 

[DaveC]

^ it's a Madlib beat. But yeah, that intro is real nice.

I really dig this track, been listening to it several times a day at work since it dropped.

I should have known. That dude can't miss.

I don't understand, what has Kanye to do with the Zodiac Killer

 

[PhilsFan]

His handwriting looks like that of a serial killer's, though not specifically the Zodiac Killer's handwriting.

Looking at what we actually have available to us, I'm pretty sure this will be a great album. What's been released from Fade is pretty awful, but No More Parties, Real Friends and Wolves are all top tier Kanye tracks.
