MBTDF would be perfect if it wasn't for all the goddamn...

[Fa-Q]

....CUNTY ASS FEAUTURES. They ruin most of the songs and definitely didn't contribute. His previous albums, all the features added to the album or maybe he had one out of place feature. Look at this tracklist.

Dark Fantasy - Would have been fine starting with "can we get much higher?"

2 Gorgeous - Cudi is great on here even though he would have been fine doing his own hook. Raekwon has an okay verse but its just another Raekwon verse; it doesn't fit the song at all.
3 Power

4 All Of the Lights

5 All Of the Lights - Not sure why Cudi is on the bridge but it seems out of place, along with Rihanna's interlude at the end.

6 Monster - No problems here

7 So Appalled This is where it gets ridiculous, no pun....yeah it was intended. Anyway, this is basically the culmination of all of his shitty artists on GOOD. Cyhi and Pusha T, okay MCs but definitely didn't deserve this spot. This would have been thousands of times better with just him and Jay.

8 Devil In A New Dress - Do I even need to say which rapper made a shitty verse that didn't pertain and nearly ruined this song.

9 Runaway - Pusha T definitely ruined the middle of this. I actually would have preferred a version with him and Pusha, and then the long version with just Kanye. Just none of the GOOD artists write verses that don't pertain at all.

10 Hell Of A Life - The Blame game exitlude would have been more fitting at the end of this...sidebar I love this song

11 Blame Game - Legend is great on this, but the Chris Rock....why does it even go there? Look at the meaning and what he was trying to say in the song and then put it at the end of this??

12 Lost In The World - Good
13 Who Will Survive In America - Good
14 See Me Now - Good, didnt I don't like Beyonce's voice that well though


What do you guys think?

[Trimss]

I agree with a lot of this, except..

Blame Game
Dark Fantasy
and Runaway

[Almostlity]

I guess Ye was really feelin Pusha back then (no homo). I remember reading somewhere that Ye made pusha rewrite his verse because it wasn't ''douchey enough" lol

I think you're crazy. The features were all top notch.. especially Ross on Devil In A New Dress.

Tell me...what is his verse about? Does it even pertain?

[Solace]

I only wish Runaway was a solo Kanye song, same length.

[Fa-Q]

Lol I like your posts but I have to say this here

OP is a faggot

Well, kind sir, fuck you

[Fiftys_Advocate]

Rick Ross was absolutely horrible on Monster, but really good on Devil in a New Dress

[SliK]

No, it's perfect as it is.

[Manly Moose]

No, it's perfect as it is.

You gotta admit Devil in a New Dress would be better without Ross' attempt (and success) of making a verse of nothing but vomit inducing cliches. That verse embodies everything that Ye condemns on So Appalled. Other things that could be improved on are the guy screaming at end of So Appalled, the Nicki intro to Dark Fantasy, and some cringe worthy lines from Ye " Baby I'm magic, tada" and some other nitpicks I dont feel like talking about.

Great album tho, definitely Kanyes best.

[SliK]

Honestly I rate the album a perfect 10 and I wouldn't change anything about it.

[I'mShady]

Pusha T had one of the best verses of that year on Runaway.
If nothing else his verse was one of the best on the whole album.

It absolutely does.

There are multiple verses on this album that seem out of place if you just listen to this album as background music and don't truly pay attention. Pusha's verse on Runaway, the others on So Appalled, Raekwon on Gorgeous, and of course Ross on Devil In A New Dress.

They don't repeat the same content, because why should they? Has that not been done before? Kanye creatively created foil verses. They add more depth and deliver a different perspective, opposite of what Kanye is mentioning to compliment the wide entities of the subject matters.

Kanye criticizes the female subject of this song, but he seems to leave out that she isn't the only person with a materialized lifestyle. Which is where Ross comes in. If Ross came in and gave the exact same content as Kanye, that would take away from this album and that foil verse is gone. I always found those verses to be brilliantly planned by Kanye and it adds so much to this near flawless album.

This.

The album is perfect with the features. Removing them just ruins it.

I hate Rick Ross as much as anyone, but his verse on DIAND is fantastic. The only feature I think doesn't fit well is Pusha's verse on Runaway.... I never understood how that ended up on there.
