My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is honestly one of the best albums I've ever heard. God drat.

It's hard to find a favorite song on that masterpiece, but Devil In A New Dress continues to blow me away like nothing else.

I like Runaway more it's just so beautiful and heartbreaking that single piano note intro. And Pusha T's verse just playing the scummiest of scumbags.

I liked hearing Pusha talk about how he was just kinda writing the same old rap verse for it and Kanye kept pushing him in that direction, like "no man, you gotta be scummy, you gotta be the douchebag" and out comes "24/7, 365, pussy stays on my mind"

To Stalins Moustache, that album can be a hell of a gateway drug. Kanye's poo poo pretty much all owns

Its good but overrated. Its too hokey, not hiphop enough.

That's a fair criticism. For me it was kind of a turning point in how i felt about kanye as an individual. I had always thought his music was pretty good but didnt care much for his various outbursts and whatnot. Mostly i think mbdtf gave me some necessary perspective and i came to really respect ye as the uniquely talented individual he is and i look back on everything else he does outside of music much more favorably now :shrug:

Anyway. It is up there on the hype tier so if it didnt resonate with you on some kind of deeper level it makes sense to find it overrated.

MBDTF was a grand hiphop album but I think its too self-indulgent even for Kanye. The endless features and influences made it critical bait. If his budget was 2 million, he probably spent 4. The tracklisting was strong but the overall effect was overwhelming. I've listened to it several times, still listen to it occasionally, and some of it just doesn't hit. What's the point of having all the features if they don't stand out? Nicki stood out more than anyone else and that's the reason why self-indulgent albums are flawed. It doesn't take all that, it just becomes audio mush. To me, hiphop at its best is stripped down rhythm and thoughts and MBDTF the opposite. Not bad but not my ideal. Obviously it was other people's ideal and I disagree with that.

it doesn't really align at all with my usual tastes/tendencies either when it comes to music (ie. i dont generally go for the maximalist poo poo either). to be much more critical of it now: i'll also concede jay-z's verse should have been straight up cut from monster, so appalled i usually skip, i THINK personally I would have liked it better without any of the justin vernon or whatever the bon iver dude is called stuff. it's the standout features from pusha t, nicki minaj, and to a lesser extent rick ross that mostly get talked about. the rest aren't very memorable.

Yeah and Pusha being so blunt, basically you can accept that I'm gonna constantly cheat on you and you can shop or drink your emotional pain away or you can leave and go back to whatever you were before I met you. One of the best guest features on a verse excepting Kendrick on Control.

Any news on Kanye's new album? Truth to the rumour about it being released around same time as release of Apple Music - June 6?

Mbdtf and yeezus sound like albums he didnt want to make while his mom was still alive. I have no idea if its true but the vibe hits me like that.
