Yeah, I think this obviously foreshadows a darker/more political album but if you think he's going to put out an hour of himself screaming you are nuts. Totally agree that his albums range from great to amazing (only counting solo albums here) and I'm sure this new one is going to be good too. I think it's pretty obvious he knows what he's doing. Also pretty hilarious to look at the Billboard rap charts right now in comparison to songs with Kanye screaming about slavery and media portrayals of black people. Two Macklemore joints, some Pitbull garbage, some MMG garbage, and two Li'l Wayne tracks. He really is the best commercial rapper if only because he's going to get people excited about weird poo poo instead of cookie-cutter radio bullshit.

Brett824 posted:Quoted because it explains it as well as I'd be able to, in a pretty succinct way. Sorry but that thing you quoted his half baked pseudo intellectual bullshit. Please dont act like you need to approach kanye's lyrics with the analytical prowess of a lit major to understand/enjoy/dismiss them because that is just asinine dude... Kanye makes great music but not everybody is gonna join your circle jerk over his sometimes pretty lame lyrics. Muck and Mire posted:Yeah, I think this obviously foreshadows a darker/more political album but if you think he's going to put out an hour of himself screaming you are nuts. As a huge Kanye fan i have to disagree with this statement. He probably wont, but he could. I mean this is the dude who made 808s following his most commercially success mainstream album... thathonkey fucked around with this message at 18:37 on May 20, 2013 |

Well I guess I was completely wrong. I took 300 (3HUNNA) to be a reference to Chief Keef and Chi Town, and the Romans because of 300AD was when the Roman Empire was in full swing.

What people are gonna be excited to hear this stuff on the radio? Stuff like this is not gonna get played. And I think Macklemore is pretty bad but can you really say his music is "cookie cutter radio bullshit" compared to the rest of that stuff you listed?

Well ignoring the fact that macklemore and flo rida sound nothing alike, no, I haven't heard the song. The only songs of his I've heard on the radio are Thrift Shop and Same Love. I cannot believe I'm defending loving Macklemore. What is this world coming to

Here's the hook. I don't know if I was thinking Flo-Rida, but it sounds exactly like that other hook dude who was on a ton of big radio tracks in the last few years: quote:Here we go back, this is the moment Anyway, enough Macklemore chat, Yeezus is going to own e:

Like you see Sudeikis tap him on the shoulder there and they cut to a different camera and they're laughing together.

Travi$ Scott tweeted a pic of New Slaves in Itunes and the time was a little over 4 minutes, so those might be just placeholders. But yeah I have not been this excited for an album in a real long time. Agreeing with what everyone else has said: the dude just knows how to make these albums that just really hit hard and stick around in the brain. I know this has been said, but it really is like every Kanye album is a film without the visuals.

drat, sorry I don't think on the same astral plane as the true Kanye fans. The King Kong reference made sense to me, which is why I didn't call it out. It's hard for me to tell when Kanye is being real and when he is being ironic, especially when he is putting out so much energy and delivering it with a very unsubtle form of anger.

I'm wondering why everyone is comparing this to Death Grips. This sounds nothing like Death Grips to me. Are we listening to the same Kanye track?

Here's a supposed leaked tracklist: Tracklist: 1) Awake With the Dark 2)New Slaves (feat. Frank Ocean) 3) Lightning 4) Destiny feat. Travis Scott 5)God (Interlude) 6) Chained feat. Jay Electronica, James Blake, and ??? 7) Perfect 8 Burned Out feat. Chief Keef, RZA and Ma$e 9) Black Skinhead 10) The Follower 11) Major Critical (feat. Tyler the Creator) 12) In the Heavens (feat. John Legend) 13) Demise The ??? is pretty hard to read but it looks like it says Lorine Chia. I imagine this is fake but I wouldn't be too surprised if that was the list of features. Maybe a Jay-Z feature is missing.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:What about the Skrillex track?!?!? Even if that is a real tracklist it could always change before the release. Before Watch the Throne came out, We Are Young(the fun. song) was on tracklists and disappeared before the album's actual release. Perfect Bitch was also supposed to be on Cruel Summer and that changed. I'm going to be skeptical of tracklists until I actually own the album.
