Yeah Waves is truly euphoric and necessary before the come down of FML/Real Friends/Wolves

He's never been shy about trusting collaborators. Even though he's an egomaniac, he's still level headed enough to understand perspective

Collaboration is crucial. Even a musical savant like Prince knew this

However he crafted his opus entirely single-handedly

Toilet Tisha is so damn good. Such an interesting track but also really exemplifies the theatrical feeling of the album. Same with Red Velvet. S*** is really a rap opera.

And of course you love Stanklove haha so aggressively psych.

And Kanye produced his opus 99% single handedly

If you wanna hear euphoria, i have been playing this fan edit a lot recently that mashes up/recreates older drafts of Waves and the album version, and it is perfection

That super long angelic intro with Theo and Post's crooning > beat drop & "STEP UP IN THIS B**** LIKE" works so damn well

Dont be fooled by the "LEAKED VERSION" title, this is most definitely a fan edit. But it's extremely well done.

Im ngl I hate most of the 2015-2019 era fan edits where they just throw as much s*** at a wall and make it as over the top as possible because they think MBDTF is the only blueprint for making a Kanye song. And that one is no exception they're just doing too much

Don't get me started on the goddamn "Law of Attraction/Use This Gospel" fan edits with 45 vocal layers, 2 guitar solos, 6 different verses, and that damn Kenny G solo tacked on with no cohesion whatsoever. None of these fan edit producers actually know how to make a song, they just overproduce the s*** out of demos and call it a day. Mbdtf is not a replicable product and it's less over-produced than people claim it to be imo

The last point was kinda off topic I just hate when mbdtf gets criticized because of musicality bombast and gets dismissed as over-produced

Which opus in particular? Or are you referring to his magnum opus

Debut. And yes i meant Magnum opus, to me

I know what you mean but i didnt think this one was over produced at all tbh. I mean the post and theo stuff and the "Return to Innocence" sample is unchanged from the leaked Swish era, just mixed very well into the fan edit.

Only thing that was really heavily altered was a recreation of the old version's outro to turn it into that long intro music.

It's the only kind of fan made Kanye thing i've heard that i liked since the stuff created by MR. TROUBLESOME on the OG KTT. (His "Family Business" homage was one of my favorite things ever and i can no longer find it anywhere 😭😭)

Thanks woolfmon

Thanks ray-z

Yep rip homie

Have a great bday @Elric

thanks brother

was a gnarly day doing orientation at yet another Vancouver port today, this one where they do coal. looked like Mordor;

gramps is getting old old

usually have alot more hair but buzzed it off with my sister when she started he chemo treatments

I know VB contacted his sister and the thread found out that way. Dude always had his problems but yeah, damn.

incorrect

No? Well either way RIP

yeah but i clicked on his twitter account that was linked to his LB account. Decided to look up his name with potential obituaries in Atlanta and found out that way I only looked it up cause I had a suspicion that something was wrong. it had been over a year since we saw him itt

Oh ok. Well I was out of touch for a while obviously but I do know that Very Based talked to his sis at one point.

Yeah VB is a good mon for reaching out. I think he stayed in contact with her for a little bit just to check in on her

Still haunts me that he might've purposefully done a Jeff Buckley
