Yeah there's multiple versions of the album mastering because it had leaked a couple of times and Kanye kept putting out different versions and poo poo. Very annoying

Since people seem to enjoy reading my first impressions of Kanye Albums, I'll share my brief thoughts on my first listen of Life of Pablo.

I liked it. It was definitely a retreat away from Yeezus's brash, in your face sound and attitude. Very pleasant to listen to. Not as daring as his previous work, though, nor as exciting. It's a fantastic album by normal standards, but I think won't be remembered as a standout when Kanye's catalogue is completed.

The only Kanye solo album I have yet to listen to is Graduation. I think I want to save it for later. I also haven't listened to Watch the Throne, but that's a different beast.

What did you think of the lovely Chris Rock interlude on "Blame Game"?

I always forget about it somehow.

I thought it was hilarious and almost went on too long and then the girl says "Yeezy upholstered my pussy" and I lost it.

Chris Rock also showed up in the other album I listened to today, Nigga, Please by Ol Dirty Bastard

Have you listened to it exclusively on earbuds that have accidentally run through the wash once or twice?

it isnt a mastering issue. it is a static poppy sound kind of like vinyl almost that was added to the mix. it's harder to notice if you havent ever heard earlier versions without it.

I'm the same as HorseRenoir, and have never heard the crackle. Blue squares, like everyone else I find it really interesting reading your first listens of hip hop albums. Also, the post I quoted would be a good nomination for a thread title change.

I've never been bothered by the crackle, as it always seemed intentional to me. On the vinyl you don't even notice :v:

Well, the vinyl pops are obvious there and intentional and stop after four seconds.

Throwback is in the old America's Pub space right? That place had its own issues with dog whistles and controversy.

I live in Westport but I haven't checked out Throwback yet. I've heard it's like Up Down but chiller.

so apparently some dude just opened up on people outside of Throwback last night and hit six including a friend of mine. the gently caress?

yeah afaik he's out of the woods now though obviously still recovering. from what I've heard he should bounce back all the way. bullet went into his back and into his lung, collapsing it. missed his heart by inches. I'm gonna try and go visit with a friend or two soon. I had actually seen him that previous Sunday at the same bar.

between that, the Shawnee Mission Pkwy shooting and that Kylr dude I don't know what the hell is going on in KC.

I hate you guys who are listening to MBDTF for the first time. It's still my favourite album of all time across any genre. Though TLOP is honestly STILL growing even more on me after god knows how many play-throughs. It's messy as gently caress but when it's on, it's so good.
