It was okay. Lots of good ideas but the execution was lacking.
Production is there but I wish he focused more on the lyrics/rapping for the whole album. He used to have quotable for days but now it's more mumbles of filler bars and it's been like that for a minute
Yeah I liked what I heard, it just needs alot of work and songs where he has more of a presence, I swear there was 3 in a row where he was hardly on them but I could be wrong.
People are doing a LIVESTREAM REVIEW. Not the album. And of first listen as well
S*** is going to be one of his best when it drops tonight
I aint know about all that, I thought it was a pretty good album. need Junya out asap though
junya SLAPPED
For me, there is A LOT of promise on this album
That being said, if this is the final product and we don’t get a day one patch, this is easily going to be his worst album for me
His music is missing that final polish that all his earlier albums had, back when he had something to prove
Kendrick is the number one lyricist in the mainstream’s eyes, Drake is the number one star, and Kanye is STILL the number one "artist" with no real challenger in sight
I honestly think Ye’s gonna keep going at 70% of his potential until someone comes along and truly challenges his status as Hip-Hop’s number one "artist" and "celebrity"
He needs creative/cultural competition
It’s mainstream to hate god. People made Kanye is staying true to his beliefs
yall always say this like most mainstream rappers don't have a "praise jesus" bar lol.
WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THIS A CONCEPT ALBUM
Ya the concept is how much mumbling torture can you withstand for 45 minutes
I only listened the first few songs during live stream bc I couldn't stop checking the thread and read people hating and that was ruining it for me. buf I liked how experimental and different it sounded. Exactly what I want from a Ye album at this stage
He makes the rod for his own back by wanting to release albums when they're not finished tho
I liked it but I also liked Pablo when everyone was freaking out about it being bad so
He ruined Hurricane. Other than that i liked what i heard
his verse was kinda mid, otherwise could've been a hit
I liked it but I also liked Pablo when everyone was freaking out about it being bad so
I liked Pablo, Ye and JIK on release.
We just different
A bit more polish and this could be one of his best, even in its current state i'd put above ye and JIK. I really like the sentiment of this one.
