Sounds like a joint he collabed with T Swift on after 2009
So that cover...
Didn't he say it would be a photo of the surgeon that performed surgery on his mother?

He's said a lot of stuff, lol. According to Kim he shot the album art right before the listening party with his iPhone.
The surgeon released a thorough letter detailing the medical reasons why he wasn't at fault and he was like. ....okay.
Dude wrote Kanye an open letter and asked to not use his photo. After Kanye's response to the letter I didn't expect it to happen anymore:
from the hip-hop OT:
The most frustrating thing about this album is where you can see the pure talent and experience shining through.
I Thought About Killing You could really be something, but 75% of the song is a dumb monologue. Wouldn't Leave feels like half of an idea to a good song No Mistakes is SO CLOSE to being an anthem, but it just feels unfinished. Ghost Town is the type of fun dumb song that would be awesome as like........ the change of pace song on a great album. But none of it comes together at all.

Didn't really feel this album. At least we got Lift Yourself before this album. That's his best new track in my eyes.
it sounds much better on spotify than the rip from the stream. It's better than life of pablo
I don't really agree with the negative reaction. Not big on Yikes and All Mine but even they have pretty nice production. Totally into the back half. Solid release, probably higher on my list of favorite Kanye albums than it is lower.
Its not his best, but its not his worst either. Its def not as bad as some of yall are making out
Cudi's singing voice can be unbearable sometimes, and I don't know if I like All Mine...
but it's a nice album. Just, real nice. Comfy, gentle.

Oh but it was. Except for three tracks I find the album really really bad. Horrible lyrics, annoying flows. Not good at all man. But to each his own. When I then heard the track Saint Pablo I was like... why Kanye, why couldn't the actual cd be like this?
MBDTF remains my fav.
Even if I went through the effort of separating the art from the artist (something that Kanye has by admission gone against with every post-Dark Fantasy album being all about his self-absorbed persona) this is still the most disposable, forgettable album that he's put out.
Say what you will about TLOP; the novelty of that album wore off for me fast but at least it felt like there was still a method to the madness. This in contrast is him being on autopilot. Most of the instrumentals here aren't anything we haven't heard before. Ghost Town sounds like a pale imitation of a MBDTF track, and while the lyrics on this album don't quite sink to Tentacion levels of shallow, they're nowhere near as provocative as something like Real Friends. Violent Crimes is the only pretty okay track in here.
I dunno, this is just such a mediocre effort. Among the hype that this would be "Fantasy: The Sequel", that the scoopidy-poop track was just Kanye trolling people, that Real Friends was allegedly the inspiration behind the album, what we got is a half-baked mixtape masquerading as an album. I don't know why people let Kanye's personal goon squad get people hyped about his albums. Of course they're going to sing it's praises.

Stayed up all night and listened on stream. I like it, even if it's half the album I wanted.
Listened to it again this morning on the drive to work, still like it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kids See Ghost gonna be too good tho.

This seems pretty good to me
It's definitely a lot of navel-gazey Kanye feeling sorry for himself
also dude needs help

I love how the Stans were hoping for this album to show that Kanye ACTUALLY played 4D-Chest and would completely blow the hinges off of America with a revelatory album that would show all of his statements to be part of his performance, only for this album to be a limp-dick parade of nothing in the vein of Eminem's Revival only that it somehow has even less to say.
Yeah I look forward to Nas too. When is that again? Kid Cudi and Nas is next Friday?
I
Back to Life of Pablo. The album with its highs and lows, ranging from euphoric Highlights to FML, along with everything in between and surrounding shows the albums concept perfectly. Kanye wants to be an artist like Pablo Picasso, but always manages to come across as Pablo Escobar.
No it's fine, Saint Pablo is a standout but I consider everything after Frank's Track as bonus. Yeezus is my fav, but MBDTF is arguably his best and once in a generation type of album.

Gotem!
I like this album. There's some legit classic kanye production on here. Like, a good solid 8 minutes or so. Lol.
Okay album.
Felt like a mix of his previous releases.
Unfortunately nothing was memorable. ITAKY was my favorite.

Good time to be a Pusha stan
Anyways, I really enjoyed backing sample in the opening track. Gave me some Bon Iver or even Caroline Shaw vibes. Curious how that part came to be
Ghost Town best track
DAYTONA out now

Yeah, this is pretty good if judged by nothing else than production alone. People who say otherwise are those that are perpetually stuck on the college years or hating on Kanye for the MAGA stuff, and don't get me wrong I wanted not to like it because of that myself.
I love how the haters were hoping for this album to show that Kanye ACTUALLY is a talentless bipolar hack and would make an album even more embarrassing than his recent quotes or that time Damon Albarn had to become a fucking cartoon character to still be successful, only for this album to be a full on hard thick as a beer can cock parade of greatness in the vein of Enter the Wu-Tang, only that it somehow has even more to say.
