I really don't want this thread to become Joe Budden related, but c'mon. Kanye's album is great & I love the overall sound of the album. But lyrically & substance wise, every song I just listed could be better than any song on Kanye's album.

Don't tell me with a straight face he's "outrapping" Joe, his production & the sound he gives us are what draw us into this album.

If that's who you are & you don't need a heavy dose of lyrics to consider something the best Hip Hop album of the year; I'm not going to tell you that you have to.

Back to Kanye, this album gives him four amazing albums.

His first three are personal classics to me. This one is early to judge if this is just "a great album" or a "personal classic"; only time will tell. But regardless, minus "808's" (which wasn't Hip Hop; so you can't even hold it against him), Kanye has been the most consistant artist in the last decade.

Eminem can still outrap most people, but he clearly went on a heavy decline from MMLP, one of the greatest classics, to Encore & Relapse.

50 & Game disappeared from the face of the Hip Hop game.

You get the point.

Kanye, even though his off the mic antics may bother some of you, you cannot deny the man as one of the best rappers in the past ten years.

lmao @ all the hype.

Musical masterpiece?

If this is the best Hip Hop had to offer this year then goodnight...

No.
It's just that beats like dark fantasy are annoying as hell, plus way too much pop. Lyricially not bad, but his voice kills it anyway (yes I'm not a Kanye fan) A few songs are really nice tho.

"blame game" is a standout, like the new version of "devil in a new dress" too.
the album sounds highly polished, but far from perfect for my personal taste.

This.

Production is amazing on this. One of the best produced albums Ive heard in a while. Kanye comes correct with his lyrics only thing I feel he should have done was take off Officer Rick and the bootleg Lil Kim clone and replace them with more Pusha T and maybe Common but hey nothing can be perfect. I can even deal with Kid Corny being on it since they keep him doin his little hooks instead of rapping. All that said Id give the shit a 9.5/10.

finally a dirty copy is out, I'm only at Gorgeous now, but I think imma buy this album

Matty: I didn't like Nicki on Monster at first neither, but her verse is my favorite right now, and the dude on So Appalled is RZA

damn i'm not that familiar with RZA's vocals but he's annoying as hell on here...

[RingMan]

yes, he is, I will cut his part if I could

btw. on All Of The Lights I don't hear John Legend, Ryan Leslie, The-Dream and Elly Jackson

I liked RZA on this. Didnt mind Swizz on it either. And imo Nicki had the best verse on Monster  Opinions eh 


Loving the album apart from the last track Lost in The World.


Dark Fantasy - 5/5
Gorgeous - 4/5
Power - 3.5/5
All Of The Lights - 3/5
Monster - 5/5
So Appalled - 5/5
Devil In A New Dress - 5/5
Runaway - 3/5
Hell Of A Life - 5/5
Blame Game - 5/5
Lost In The World - 1/5

I would take out Runaway and Lost In The World and replace them with The Joy and Lord Lord Lord.

[Meho]

This shit is amazing. A movie. Just one quick listen so I can't say anything for certain yet. But first impression is absolutely fantastic.

BTW Nicki and Ross killed their verses, quit nitpicking.

[Episcop Cruel Cvrle]

The fuck yall trippin, RZA is cool on this.

[Paul]

The fuck yall trippin, RZA is cool on this.

+1

If a verse similar to Nicki Minaj's verse on Monster was done by a respected male rapper, it would have been praised more.
