I never had a hip hop song make me cry. Violent Crimes puts me in tears so easily. Its really surprising me. I don't even have children, let alone a daughter... Its so emotionally bittersweet. Definitely a proper to successor to Runaway.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WAS WONDERIN IF WE'D EVER HEAR THAT SHIT
I think the final song is superior because it's more concise, but I don't hate the original either
I just assumed people didn't like it. The lyrics are fun imo
how do yall feel about the fact that this album was probably written in between listening to jordan peterson lectures and dave rubin vids
The lyrics on this album are worse because it obviously attempts to be serious for the most part. TLOP was a ride from beginning to end which is why I mostly forgive it.
I imagine it will, but honestly I hope not cause what we got now was just raw.
I'm bipolar and it reminds me of being in the art room at the mental hospital. Like he's just doodling with a bunch of broken mis-matched crayons and dried-out markers. If his albums were those drawings of cats that chart the slow and inevitable progression of a degenerative mental illness, Ye would be the drawing all the way on the right that is more scribbled fractal than cat. Sure it's fascinating, but more as a depressing record of decline than some kind of artistic triumph. If this is a wonderful meditation on mental illness then so is Charlie Sheen's tiger blood interview. Everything is a giant red flag with Kanye lately. God help you if Ye is your summer jam.
first listen and the only thing that was ok was No Mistakes and even that felt like the style was much better in his first 3 albums
absolutely hated TLOP and think Yeezus is his best though so idk how popular my opinions are

Kanye out here producing for everyone. Pusha gets 7. Ye gets 7. Cudi gets 7. Teyana Taylor gets 7. Nas gets 7.
The bonus tracks on TLOP are so much better than the original ones it's not even funny, kinda hard to rate it bc of that. The original tracks are easily my least favorite of his though
Yeah, I know. But almost every single album he's done has been fantastic start to finish, with maybe Graduation and TLOP having a couple misses. And with this being, I'd say his weakest album yet, 7 tracks just makes it really disappointing.
Lift Yourself is terrible.
The first four songs on this album are nowhere near that.
Honestly there's not really been a hip-hop album this year I'd put higher than a 7 and I'm feeling bummed out tbh.
Pusha's album fits that description for me other than the length.
Going to have to listen to this sometime, worse than TLOP is still a really good album.
I didn't like it for years, but came around on it like three years ago. Only song I dont care for on it is Pinnochio Story, and really that is only because it is live and not as mastered as well as the rest of the album.
Alright, I gave it the car speaker test.
ITAKY has a spoken work part that goes on for way too long. Once the beat kicks in, but it just kind of ends before it feels like it's about to get good.
I really like the production on Yikes. It's also has one of the best hooks on the album. Lyrics are trash, but the song is a bop.
All Mine is alright. Another one where I really like the production. I don't care for the nasel sounding hook at all though
Wouldn't Leave is super forgettable. Like I wouldn't call it bad, but I have trouble even remembering what it sounds like.
No Mistakes is solid. I really good sample and it, again, has fantastic production (Notice the trend here)
Ghost Town is the standout. Just an awesome song all around with the highlight being the 070 Shake part.
Violent Crimes is also really good, but it doesn't quite hit the same highs as Ghost Town.
Overall I would give it a 3/5. It's not a bad album at all, but if you're only going to have 7 tracks, all those tracks better be great and these weren't. It's the only album that Kanye has released that I've come away thinking it was middling, and that's disappointing

Saturation III just missed the cut, Sister/Nation is honestly one of my favorite hip-hop tracks in a long long long time.
Maybe, I usually like music more on re-listens.
Ah yes, we're in that part of the album cycle where the backlash to the backlash has gotten so intense that people are saying it's better than MBDTF.
I'm just a crazy dude and while MBDTF is undeniably a better album this hits me more
I'll try and message you in a year's time to see if you still think this.
MBDTF is literally my favourite album of all fucking time. it's flawless to me
Production on point, which was never in any doubt. Everything else though.... Not too sure. Still salty about his Sacramento concert meltdown so I didn't give any coins. Sorry not sorry
Welp, looks like I'm editing my TLOP album again.
I appreciate that Kanye made a choose your own adventure album with TLOP
regardless of what people say in their obnoxious self-righteous sanctimonious internet hate bubble, this record is sparking really important conversations in the real world. i was talking to one of my friends, who isn't even a big kanye fan, and he just listened to the record. we had a very real conversation about bipolar and how it's impacted both of our lives, where i didn't even know it was something he had gone through before and vice versa. it was a very cathartic experience, and it's a conversation we just wouldn't have had without this record. it's a significant album. let the holier-than-thou sneering begin
