damn that’s a good point about WWSIA

From white devil sophistry site rapgenius:

While there is applause at the end of this beautiful and powerful poem, there seems to be only a few people who respond. This suggests that the speech is being delivered to an auditorium that is empty except for a few people. This implies that no one in America is willing to listen to a message diagnosing the problems of American culture. People refuse to believe that there is anything wrong with America and the ways they have been living.

Also, the quiet reaction echoes the statement at the beginning of the speech — that no one cares about revolution, or making positive change in America. They are all too busy striving for fame, money, s***to even listen to or recognize the dangerous problems that need to be addressed and fixed in order to avoid a cultural self-implosion.

This is also a fitting ending to the album as it fits the theme of a fantasy. The clapping could mean that we have reached the end of the fantasy. Everything said in the album, including Gil Scott-Heron’s speech, was a fantasy. The clapping shows the listener that this was made in a studio as the clapping is echoing as like in a small room, rather than a large concert. Only a few people are present like the amount of people that would be present during a recording. Similar to albums ending in static or the pulling of a microphone.

It’s a chilling end to a tumultuous, masterful album, as the question of “who will survive in America?” reverberates in listeners' minds without any concrete answer.

good point

this is a disgusting ass ranking, they should all be ashamed of themselves and i'm pretty sure they didn't even listen to any of these songs at all

@Antidote would you post that mega link again

Let me look it up again

I hate when people who don’t understand subtext write reviews

I was going through an old external hard drive and found all the Good Fridays and multiples of each artwork

He misspelled Swizz Beatz on the first Power Remix artwork I forgot about that

Some differing Monster covers with the artists in a different order

Looking For Trouble has an artwork without Kanye's name and one with

And a bunch of small minor changes of text positioning on a lot of other cover arts

Found it on page 112
Thanks again boss man

link me those og files pls

Gotta organize the collection a little, but I promised I'll have the artwork and mp3s uploaded tomorrow

All original and untouched

I'll post quote you tomorrow to let ya know

“I wanted a guitar solo for the outro, but I couldn’t play guitar. So I just used my voice.” icon

When he changes the names of the models in Christian Dior denim flow to names of people in the Bible

They really put the joy last

Gorgeous is such a incredible song. The way he rides the beat

Also feels amazing to have an album with pretty much all the songs at least 5 minutes long - makes such a difference

On every song he let the beat ride for a little too its so fire

After I saw devil in a new dress in the 20s I couldn't bear to look at the rest

They put Runaway Love at 27 too, that was one of my favourites

Even the all of the lights interlude is next level beautiful to listen to... And I'm not usually a fan of that type of thing

Sets the tempo for the song incredibly well

jesus christ the ringer really is whiter than P4k

this is the worst article I've ever read in my life. these guys should seriously be ashamed of these opinions.

DIAND being one of Kanye's worst songs period? Kanye's rapping is mediocre on POWER? wtf

thanks so much
