the Bunt posted:808 is like the black sheep of Kanye's discography, though I personally love it. If you want something that sounds more like MBDTF, check out literally any of his other albums. They all have hints of the MBDTF stylings. Seconding 808 as his second best. Also Ebjan, check out Lupe Fiasco's Lasers-I actually slightly prefer it over MBDTF. I think the content of Lupe's lyrics give it the edge; "All Black Everything" is phenomenal.

Otis isn't half as good as H.A.M.  Pretty disappointed. On one hand, this album is getting quite a bit of hype. On the other hand, this first single is pretty lame and H.A.M. has been moved to bonus track status which doesn't make a lot of sense to me since that track is loving massive. The rest of the album better be as great as a lot of people are hoping it will be.

I think the lyrics are alright but not a great choice for a single if they tryna get airplay. It kinda sounds like they put the throwaway track out as the single. Sonically its not the kind of song that is infectious or crowd-pleasing at all, so I'm kind of at a loss. It is different though, so props for that I guess. But I think there going in the opposite way of HAM just for the sake of doing it. HAM = modern rap so I'm guessing they were like "Let's bring it back" but not sure this is how they should've done it... x TOMMYBOY x fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Jul 21, 2011 |

Lift Off is the real single for the album. HAM and OTIS have been more for the internet and hiphop heads who really follow the progress of the album.

bows1 posted:They were also shooting a video on tuesday. Was that lift off? All I know is the video hoes had gigantic bootys This is a derail about a pet peeve of mine: Unless you are calling the women in the video gardening equipment, they are not "hoes." They are "hos." There is no E in it. No E. Remember that. A hoe is what you use to till soil or whatever the gently caress, and a ho is short for "whore." As you will notice, there is no e before the r in "whore." So please, remember this in the future...for the children.

I love how even though Jay Z might be half the rapping on WTT, it's still really a Kanye album. Or at least it still gets discussed in the Kanye thread. I think "Otis" is a better song and has much higher aspirations than "HAM." It's scope is certainly bigger. "HAM" is just more immediately entertaining, which is why it's a Lex Luger piece more so than a Kanye track. If there are more "Otis" tracks than "HAM" tracks then WTT will have much higher replay value. atrus50 fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jul 21, 2011 |

Are you doing the mastering on the album? That's pretty tight if you are. Either way, funny that it isn't done. I tried to order the Deluxe last night on their site - they charged my paypal account but never sent me anything else? I may call someone today/Monday, etc.
