Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Discussion Thread)

[Action!]

It's his best album and time will prove that...until he releases another one.

[R1ZE]

The worst part of this album is Kanye's raps, real talk... personally I think this is a classic. With everything he's doing (runaway, the musicality of it all) I can't see it not having that kind of impact.

I love every song... Gonna have some fun making my own version of the album with the good friday cuts too

Dark Fantasy - 5/5
Gorgeous - 4/5
Power - 5/5
All of the Lights - 4.5/5

fucking fantastic

DOPE album.  Like others, as I've heard alot already, it doesn't hit me like THAT...but imagine if all we'd heard was one single, like back in the day.

Dark Fantasy - 4/5  (crazy sample ,nice beat)
Gorgeous - 4/5 (nice beat, and Yeezy kills it...to the point where Raekwon wasn't necessary)
Power - 5/5 (Incredible song, this one took a while to grow on me)
All of the Lights - 4.5/5 (not loving Fergie or Rihanna on here...this SHOULD have been a 5/5, crazy hook and beat, so many instruments)
Monster - 2/5 (don't really like it at all...its this albums "Barry Bons"...Ye always has at least one out opf place song per album)
So Appalled - 5/5 (beat is WHOA, love RZA at the end...love the whole song)
Devil in a new Dress - 4/5 (the beat switch for ROss part is nice...I just wish it wasn't Ross)
Runaway - 5/5 (amazing beat, nice song...VMA performance was epic...sounded even better live)
Hell of a Life - 4/5 (hook, beat, concept all good)
Blame Game - 5/5 (y favourite song on the album, bout time Kanye got back with John Legend)
Lost in the World - 5/5  (wow...this is some next shit...some will feel it, some won't)

bumpin this album nonstop since friday, like literally nonstop, gorgeous is my fav song on the album. lost in the world grew on me, dark fantasy is dope, a couple of the slowert tracks dont really do that much for me, but pretty sick ass album,.

[MontrealCity's Most]

This album dint come out yet and im super annoyed. Dont get me wrong  i think the work on this record is realy professional innovative.

Honestly tho to me it got annoying real quick. I never thought Kanye was a good rapper. Has clever rhymes but his lazy style annoys the fuck out of me.

Production wise the guy is amazing, creative and probably in top 5 skills in hip hop right now.

[Invincible]

Am I the only one not liking Kanye's direction when it comes to his producing at the moment. For me some of the beats on this album are a mess.

[Invincible]

Listenable tracks are:

Dark Fantasy
Gorgeous
Power
So Appalled

This album is definitely not as good as you are all making out.

This album is considerably better than Graduation

It really isn't. Thats a personal classic for me.

Missed that out.

Maybe, but the rest of Graduation is better than the rest of this album, ecxept Power maybe.

its all down to personal taste. power is the obvious RAP SINGLE whereas most of the album covers new ground for kanye and for a lot of hip-hop listeners.

Lost in this World is one of the best tracks I have heard in a long ass time.

Except not. Power isn't even one of the best songs on the album

Finally a statement I can relate to.
Same with the new Dre songs: hype hype hype.

It might be that people lowered their standards that much, I see posts like 'well better than anything else out right now'.  Or because they praise everything that comes from Kayne/Dre etc...

[Javier]

808s and Heartbreak is evidence that people don't just praise Kanye automatically.  I'm certain that almost every music site/publication will have it as their AOTY or top 5.

Well then it's maybe just me, I think I've grown out of Hip Hop.
