illcendiary: Dec 4, 2005; Damn, this is good coffee.

What does "Kanye To The" even mean? I know he used to say it on his early stuff, but never knew what it meant.

He said it in the intro to Through The Wire, his first single, as in "Kanye to the West", "H to the Izzo" (which Kanye produced), etc.

Whenever anything gets released early in stores, it always seems to be in rural as gently caress areas because the 3 people there who want the new Kanye album or whatever buy it and no one really notices.

It's so unlikely it's out early here in Chicago, but I'm still going to run out to the Target on my lunch and see.

I think it's more Mom & Pop shops than chains like Target. Chains have computer systems that prevent you from buying things early, even if it's on the shelf. If you'll get it anywhere, I'd bet on a local shop that either knows you or doesn't care.

Leak confirmed real. KTT forum people migrated to an irc channel and its bananas in there. Apparently the quality is awful though.

I'm going to wait for the release, but it looks like this site had the exclusive to get the CDQ of I am a God.

Don't really know what the gently caress is going on, but I think I like it. I wonder if Ye is alright?

This. "I Am A God" is absolutely brilliant. As is the rest of the album so far. Seriously, I don't care how much of a dick he is, he makes some of the best music out there.

I love this beat on Im In It. Knocks.

Album so far is alright, his bars are kinda subpar in my opinion. 4 tracks to go.

Can he rap about anything besides getting his dick sucked?...

Hmm on my leak the track "Bound" is titled "Bound 2" and in a recent interview with Rick Rubin he said he took out all the R&B elements and made it Suicide-esque. Bound 2 sounds very R&B

quote:

When and why did you join the �Yeezus� project?

Kanye came over to play me what I assumed was going to be the finished album at three weeks before the last possible delivery date. We ended up listening to three hours of partially finished pieces. The raw material was very strong but hadn�t yet come into focus. Many of the vocals hadn�t been recorded yet, and many of those still didn�t have lyrics. From what he played me, it sounded like several months more work had to be done. I joined the project because after discussing what he had played for me, he asked if I would be open to taking all of the raw material on and help him finish it.

How would you describe the new sound he was driving for, and how you did you help him arrive there?

He wanted the music to take a stripped-down minimal direction. He was always examining what we could take out instead of put in. A good example would be the song that became �Bound.� When he first played it for me, it was a more middle of the road R&B song, done in an adult contemporary style. Kanye had the idea of combining that track with a cool sample he had found and liked � I removed all of the R&B elements leaving only a single note baseline in the hook which we processed to have a punk edge in the Suicide tradition.

Can you recall a scene from the sessions that might help people understand his method in the studio?

We were working on a Sunday [the same day West attended a baby shower for girlfriend Kim [Kardashian] and the album was to be turned in two days later. Kanye was planning to go to Milan that night. Five songs still needed vocals and two or three of them still needed lyrics. He said, �Don�t worry, I will score 40 points for you in the fourth quarter.� In the two hours before had to run out to catch the plane, he did exactly that: finished all lyrics and performed them with gusto. A remarkable feat. He had total confidence in his ability to get the job done when push came to shove.

Getting a primal 808s vibe. I'm hearing interesting :tinfoil:

from other forums that the leak has Hold My Liquor on lossy mastering to point to who the leak could have come from; as in they switched up the mastering on each track for each press copy.

On a shallow level it's awful, but it builds on the Kanye persona of not caring and therefore it fits in its own stupid, unique way.
