Here's the studio version of the song from the VMAs: http://www.inflexwetrust.com/2010/09/13/kanye-west-runaway/

Not the strongest we've heard, but it's... uh... interesting.

"Banned in the USA!!! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!" sorta nws

what the HELL, kanye

I think he's implying that he wanted this to be the album art.

Yep.

Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!! Ima tweet it in a few...

In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now.

I know that cover just blew yall minds ... I wish yall could see how hard I'm smiling right now!!!

I'm kind of disappointed that basically all of the non-Rihanna singers on All of the Lights have about ten seconds of play. I guess an Elton John hook was too much to ask for :sigh:

I think the aesthetics of it loving rule, it's just a little too minimal for me. Not really down with the long shots of the one girl dancing, though I thought the group dance at the end was cool. The "city shots" were really gorgeous.

TNGHT played Blood on the Leaves tonight during their set at Central Park and it loving slayed. Kanye needs to tour on this album ASAP. If Huson Mohawke Lunice lip syncing can make people lose their minds, Ye actually performing it will be a straight-up apocalyptic sight.

Wow. Can you get a refund if you bought them at 186? I'm going to assume not, take the L, and enjoy myself.

It feels even worse if you bought Madison Square Garden seated tickets for $185 :smithicide:

e: seriously, I even live closer to Barclays than I do to MSG. I have never felt more loving stupid in my life, ugh

Concert went well despite the injury. Everything was awesome except for the 20 minute rant about shoes and Nike that I imagine was because of him breaking ties with them in the last few days.

He did this at MSG too, rants about stupid business bullshit are just part of The Kanye Experience(tm)

I hated Drunk and Hot Girls at first, then I liked it a lot because I liked how weird and out there the production was, then I kind of hated it again when I found out it was pretty much a straight sample of a Can song, and now I like it a whole lot because I realized how loving crazy it is that Kanye built that song around a loving Can sample. Also I like the cheesy strings he added, makes it feel like a weird off-kilter suspense movie soundtrack or something, which is hilarious given the lyrics

setafd posted:

okay the Can sample connection is pretty hot but the lyrics he puts to it are just .......... they needed more time in the oven or something

they are far from the worst lyrics on an album that also includes lines like "Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike/well I'll do anything for a blonde dyke/and she'll do anything for the limelight/and we'll do anything when the time's right"

like, at least Drunk and Hot Girls is a charming lyrical trainwreck, which fits the theme of the song

had a ticket in my cart for that MSG thing but couldn't justify $100 to sit in the upper bowl for an event that seemed composed of "listening to a record and also there will be an art lady"

by comparison upper bowl tickets for the Yeezus Tour were like $110-130 lol

weird messy short album which shouldn't really surprise anyone coming off the back of Yeezus

pitchfork will give it a 7.5, many people will talk about how they don't like it, a few people will still defend it, I'll probably listen to it a bunch. he'll do a massively successful tour off of it even without any successful singles

could see them someday releasing a deluxe version with All Day, No More Parties, and the other singles on it

I'd rather Kanye make weird poo poo that doesn't quite work like this than fall into boring pop-rap like Jay-Z any day though
