I'm just starting to appreciate MBDTF

[dR3]

I've been enjoying it for a week now, don't know why I didn't like it when it came out. It's unique and creative, and I appreciate Kanye for experimenting so boldly, we need more people who are willing to do that.

That's all I had to say lol, peace out.

[EG.]

I've been listening to it all week too. I'm really starting to like and appreciate Kanye as a real artist, before i didnt.

Only kanye I have ever listened to is Dropout (I fail)

I like his music, I just been busy with other rappers. & Stronger was annoying so I steered clear of it

Slighty on topic lol

[momentsgolden]

Well, i've always like Kanye but i've never consistently listened to his new music. While i LOVE MBDTF, its just that its influenced him so greatly that the moans and groans and background noises are coming out in every track he releases now. IT makes listening to the album less unique and awesome.

I love Kanye West, have listened to all of his solo albums and WTT and I will always love him.

What I hate is his fans, rating him like he's the second coming of Jesus or something and always overreacting/overhyping his tracks.

It's sad to see that people call what Kanye does 'great hip-hop shit' and 'that's what hip-hop is supposed to sound' and i'm not referring to MBDTF, i'm referring to his whole discography.
I bet you a million dollars if Gucci released that 'Mercy' song they would have trashed him and made jokes about the song.
SMH

Exactly. Mercy during good Friday would have been groundbreaking in approach. Now its just sounds bland.

can we get much higher?

MBDTF is Kanye's classic tbh.

True that. But ironically, people could say the same for Stans too.

Take off shitty Devil In A New Dress and I'd be happier tbh. I despise that song and it dampens the album for me.

I know everyone else loves it but I really don't.

[Slim Fiasco]

I didn't like it as much at first myself. I think it's because of the expectations you have before listening to a certain album. And when the hype is huge around the release date, it's very easy to get disappointed.

Nah we on the same level with that actually

[I'mShady]

^ Haha, i'm serious man.
Like yeah, Ye had a nice momentum going before 808s. He damn sure proved that he has skills on the mic.
But, it's just hard for me to see people rant other artists for experiencing in music and then call albums like 808's and MBDTF genius and greatness, you know?

And how do you feel about 'Mercy', honestly? Gucci or Wacka whole discography is full of songs like these.
I'm just happy that he's starting to turn into a clown by making songs like 'NIP' & 'Mercy'. I hope this is his new thing and his next album is full of songs like these. Ye never got hated on by his fans so this ought to be fun.

Nah, most of the time, the experiment's results are a good song. I do love experimenting but only when it's good, shit like Kid Cudi and Drake, they added shit to the genre no one ever added before. But on the other hand, when people experiment and the result is shit .. kinda like Oochie Wallie and Eminem's singing in You're Never Over, I just happen to not like it.

Mercy is a great track, it's a great showcase to GOOD's rappers, it lacks heavy-weight lyricists that are Yasiin Bey and Common, because they wouldn't work with this kind of track. It has a great beat that switches creatively in Kanye's verse. Pusha T kills it, Kanye delivered, and Big Sean made a playful verse I considered funny. The only thing that I do not like about this song is 2 Chainz whom I don't think Kanye was in his sober mind when he signed him.

And the first single (Or hype track, like what happened with H.A.M) is a banger, you don't expect the GOOD Music camp to release emo or soulful shit on their whole-label EP, in this case it was a pretty awesome banger with a crazy sample. They know their fans don't want them to create their group album to sound like a bunch of emotional *****, it would be the same "wtf" situation if New Day was released as the first single of Watch The Throne. They're GOOD Music. You should wait for the album before you make a judgement.

Is it confirmed that Mos Def is on the album?

[Almostlity]

Is it confirmed that Mos Def is on the album?

It isn't confirmed officially but he definitely will though, I think the purpose of this album is to shed light on members of the label, so Yasiin Def will definitely have an appearance and that's not even mentioning how important he is to the label, people will be furious if he isn't

Hell, I even think D'banj is gonna have some sort of an appearance tbh.

And hopefully a verse or two and maybe some production from Q-Tip too

*listens to The Renaissance
