From the 48 laws of power: "Pablo Picasso never allowed himself to fade into the background; if his name became too attached to a particular style, he would deliberately upset the public with a new series of paintings that went against all expectations. Better to create something ugly and disturbing, he believed, than to let viewers grow too familiar with his work." ....Thus, The Life of Pablo.
difference is Picasso changed his differing styles by himself. He didn't pay dozens of painters to touch or guide his style into his own works. Kanye is purposely fading into the background, he's a clout chaser
Guys!! I understand that the album sounded very incoherent, I thought the same, but that's why this one guy who I can't remember made a playlist version of the album without the filler and sounds 5 times better than the original and actually has a theme.

+Legend Does Music (Brandon Finley) Not trying to hate, but I still believe the previous one is better. Why? Filler is cut off Ex: (facts, SSI, I love Kanye). And overall the themes matched with the acts in accordance to their songs better but to each their own.
I miss the old deadendhiphop. The straight from the go deadendhiphop. Ken got too old and now he only likes old jazz records. Feefo can actually articulate his thoughts. Myke now likes albums that have wack lyrics. I can't even remember the other guy's name cause he hardly talks. I miss the old deadendhiphop. I still love deadendhiphop. And I love deadendhiphop like Ken loves Purple Polo shirts.
Feefo is too much of a coward to maintain an opinion, I've always found that very annoying in this channel. Whenever he starts speaking his mind, he gets to nervous when the rest don't approve of him, and he quickly changes his mind against the odds of standing by himself. You can say what you want about Myke, whenever he states an opinion he owns it and gives his best arguments.
@@albums8825 I mean he's legit the only one who stands by the fact that he doesn't like doom all that much and he's infamously known for his "do it bump in the whip" so to say he's to cowardly to bring up his true opinions when that quotes become a staple for the channel is crazy to me
@@poppatato4183 Whenever someone disagrees with him he quickly changes his language, he starts to ask for approval before he even begins to talk and he gets nervous all of the sudden, he stops in his tracks and starts asking questions to everyone else. He tries to make ends meet so much, which may be a noble act, but in the end he just looks stupid and takes up time. Yes, he has disagreed with many things in the past, but he takes ages to get there, and always seems like he feels ashamed about it, and puts thousands of conditional, buts and maybes to get everybody to not bash his opinion whenever it is even mildly controversial. I don't know the guy but in regards to his opinion and arguing, I always felt he is a coward. Myke always lives through his opinion and doesn't give a fuck, and says it like it is (or maybe like it ain't, but he owns it). It's all about attitude.
LMFAO Myke literally spoke my mind, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would BUT.......... if someone told me they thought it was awful I wouldn't even try to dispute it. Still doesn't come close to any of his best work.
+DojoMuppet I am 110% sure it being unfinished is not why they skipped it. It is still part of the album and we can not change that. They may have not cared for it or forgot.
Beezy gave the perfect example. On Mbtdf he was rhyming. So why are people giving him a pass on this album saying he just produces good music. Na Kanye can spit when he puts the effort in.
But it depends on what you listen to Kanye for. For me it's always been the aesthetic and production value. I never went to Kanye for bars, mbdtf too. The best parts of mbdtf he's not rapping (second half of runaway)
I just listened to it for the first time today (I was 12 when this released) and I really like it. Its probably my joint favourite Kanye album out of the ones I've heard.
thelankytank Yeah. At first I didn't care for it but the more I listened to it the more I loved the production and vocals, and that album pretty much made me like auto tune.
Nah because it's kind of like how madvillainy has a lot of tracks but they aren't long songs so I don't mind it. The album is still short. (I am not saying this is as good as madvillainy haha never it is not even close) but it is like the length of that.
Freestyle 4 is one of my favs off TLOP. I see it as he's on drugs at this really high-class party & his reality is being distorted so he's just losing it. i love it.
808s & Heartbreak is a fantastic pop album. Definitely his most underrated album IMO. As for TLOP, it feels like a compilation of unreleased and demo tracks. You get the best and worst of Kanye.
You guys got such diverse opinions, that's what makes this channel so dope. Glad to see you guys taking the time to appreciate the music. Don't rush the reviews, take your time to formulate your own thought-out opinions, like Myke pointed out. Kinge getting all salty was hilarious though. Keep grinding.
what I liked most about this other then good music is the comedic lines he dropped. there wasn't a bunch of them but when they happened they were hilarious
what I respect about Kanye the most is he is constantly changing. yeezus sounds nothing like mbdtf, 808's sounds nothing like late registration, graduation different than college dropout etc. every album is a new sound, no one on is level when it comes to creativity
Ali Shuber I just feel that Yeezus did a great job of taking that underground industrial sound and making it very accessible to the mainstream while adding a very hedonistic materialistic spin on it.
This Dick Aint Free true true, you know what come to think about it.. it took me at least 15 listens for me to fully get into death grips.. and these are scattered listens within the 6 months.. so maybe yeezus is that kind of album, ill definitely give it another shot now!
George it is an amazing one though because of its influence it’s influence is still clear all the way a year after you posted this comment that’s why it’s one of the best albums of that generation it’s completely cutting edge and ahead of its time
I feel like people correlate influential with "best." Just because an album is influential doesn't mean it's one of the best. This is also coming from someone who likes a decent amount of 808's. It wasn't even the best project in 2008.
This album has grown on me a lot since the release at first I saw it as messy and not complete but I began to see the beauty behind the madness and I truly began to understand the album. Favorites: Ultralight Beam, Father Stretch My Hands, Famous, Waves, FML, Real Friends, Wolves, 30 Hours, No More Parties In LA & Saint Pablo Worst: Freestyle #4
Kanye sounds like he's biting modern rappers cuz they indirectly bite him. About every rapper on TLOP is a product of Kanye. Not every one, but a lot of em.
808s is a good album but overhyped with the influence. It's more of a cult classic that the stans made it appear to be classic. The album have huge influence directly from T-Pain mixed with his emotions at the time.
I love ya'll man, always got the anticipation building for the reviews, we know we gettin a fully formed opinion and you guys just got that chemistry bwoooi yeeha, thanks lads much love
Myke I could not agree with you more. I hated it at first, was complaining to my friends and telling people not to listen. Eventually it clicked and it has literally been the only thing I've listened to since. I'll listen to it back to back, at least several times a day every day. I've never played an album more right after release than this one. Also, on FML, strong agree, my favorite song on the album (next to Freestyle 4 and Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1). Outro is one of my favorite Kanye moments ever. Incredible.
This was a good episode. Everyone said their thing. I love it when Kinge goes off. The only thing is though, I want you guys to go back to the old format where you all discussed the album at once as a collective, rather than just taking turns. I know it was chaotic at times, but I like DEHH for the group discussions, and with this current format the discussions really gets toned down. Also, it would be a nice change of pace if you guys get more in-depth with these reviews, like discuss it more thoroughly, and you guys can get into things like the themes, meaning, and artistry about the album. There's a lot of things that could've been touched on that that hasn't; e.g. like the outro on FML, the eerie sample "see through the veil, and forget all your cares" and how Kanye followed that with pouring his heart out singing which sounded so raw and emotionally compelling. In any case, just in general getting more elaborate with the reviews would be nice in my opinion. But again, I still enjoyed this review, thanks for making it.
I'm a big Kanye fan. I think that the album is all over the place, but I was never bored listening to it. I enjoyed it. Honestly, I really love the song Fade. I don't know why, but I just do.
I was the same way with yeezus. HATED it at first and now I love it. I hated this album at first but going back it's starting to grow on me more and more.
Kanye doesn't even focus on music right now, his passion is in fashion. Can't force the guy to spend a month in Hawaii with a huge group of people to grind out a GOAT album. Music will never be his #1 focus anymore. TLOP still dope album though
+Kennith Inge ken you GOTTA do a video talking about Kanyes madness from 808s onwards, you touched on it here but I swear you mentioned a few years ago you wanted to do a vid on it, would be dope to hear y'alls opinions on him
I like The Life of Pablo. I'd give it an 8/10. I keep listening to it and the songs are great. The production and features are dope, but there are too many wack lines Kanye throws in there. He needed to sit down and write some better verses. TLOP is not wack, nor is it a classic. I think it's a solid album with some serious lyrical issues.
even if i totally disagree with a few things in your reviews you guys are the best. yall always got me laughing and always point out the important factors. i enjoyed the album and im always entertained by your videos regardless of what my opinion or your opinion might be.. thank you so much
It is all over the place, but I do see a sense of cohesion. The album for me fits into 3 thirds: Ultralight beam-Highlights (High energy, uplifting, funny, the joy/positives of self-indulgence) Freestyle 4-Wolves (the dark side/negatives of self-indulgence, Kanye's self-frustration, mania, struggles with growing up and dealing with others) Silver Surfer-Fade (Bonus tracks, more conventional songs, Kanye's ready to make music again) The original cover that asked "which one?" I think is a reference to his struggle between being Pablo Picasso and Pablo Escobar (a brilliant artist or a megalomaniac billionaire criminal). In reality, he can't approach either of their levels because most of the dialogue about him is about inconsequential tabloid bullshit.
I pretty much had the same experience Myke had when listening to this. Went from "gaaaaa-bage" to "greatness". Oddly enough same thing happen with Yeezus. After revisiting it a few times it just grew on me.
I'm here to share my thoughts: I enjoyed this album. To me, this album brought back the College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus, I found every one of them in this album, vibes, mixed. He revealed his inner world, those talking tracks, gospel vibes, sampled songs, beats, etc. If you are a Kanye fan, you will definitely love it. This is the most Kanye Kanye album.
Jesus I love Myke, I've rarely disagreed with him and he nails it on the head especially on this album. I'm not sure if I love or hate I Love Kanye, but literally I agree with every word you said
I'm actually surprised Myke liked it. I literally had the same experience with the album as you Myke. At first I hated it, but now I really like the album.
30 hours is still probably one of the biggest missed potential songs in hip hop. The beat and Kanye verse are dope if Andre had spat and they didn’t have a 5 hour outro it could’ve been one of the best songs of the year who knows
Guys Kanye just announced a new album this summer, I have a feeling TLOP was just a way to promote his fashion line while getting people to sign up for Tidal. Fingers crossed we get something MBDTF level.
+persona It is going to be watch the throne 2 it has been teased by mike dean the producer. Secondly TLOP isn't finished everybody that bought tickets to go see the listening party in the movies including myself got a message saying the version on tidal was halfway complete (kind of like a demo) and the full project will be out in the coming days but still has not been released.
if you "miss the old Kanye" and want him to make another album he's already made, you don't understand an artist. to quote Jay-Z, "n****s want my old shit, buy my old album." keep progressing and making new sounds, Ye.
+Kanye "Pablo" West its absolutely dope in a different order...PROBLEM IS, why the fuck would I need to do that?? The album should be formatted in a cohesive fashion, and if not, and LEAST do it like in TPAB, where meaningful phrases and wordplay come back into latter songs...
austin Yeah, there's a moment of "fun" when you do order it in the fashion that's great....but I can't help but think 'Ye did that to put "Ultra Light Beam" in front...which works best as a closer track.
Complaining about the lyrics on a Kanye album at this point in his career is like complaining about the acting in Pornography. Good review guys; agree with pretty much everything Myke said.
What no one understands about Kanye at any point in his career is that he was never much of a lyricist or a rapper honestly he is an artist but of course you guys don't understand that.
I think the whole "it grows on you" line is such a fucking cop out. It was so refreshing when my friend said today, "The more you listen to Kanye's new album, the shittier it gets." I died laughing.
I like how myke enjoyed this, cool to see. If u look at the second track list he put out it would've been fairly cohesive and didn't have the bad songs on it. Anyway i feel like the more songs the better so I don't mind having like fade or facts on if
I agree with Ken that everything about this album was all over the place, but the thing he’s not getting is that’s sort of what makes it special. I think the experience is coherent and enjoyable for me and that’s all that matters. But I do understand his frustrations, I LIKE it but it’s not objectively near his earlier stuff. I do think Donda was exactly what he said about Kanye trying to blend in a lot more then this album
I'ma challenge what you guys are saying about this album not being cohesive one. This album moves seamlessly. It feels like waves. "Ultralight beam" maybe a hell of a different song than "father stretch my hands" but that transition is smooth as fuck. The outro and into to those songs have similar tones then add the hook and it picks up. It makes all the sounds make sense together and that continues throughout the whole album with many the exclusion of "I love kanye" but even that song had a purpose in the place it was placed. That was like his little intermission, a little fun break then we get waves which is a perfect transition into the darker side of the album then we have silver surfer to transition us back up with 30 hours. There's a reason why all of these songs are in the order that they are in. This is certainly one of the easiest albums for me to listen to back to back because of how cohesive it actually is. It feels like waves. Him wanting to name his album that is understandable. I first listened to this on tidal where they have this smooth transitional thing where it plays every song in order right after the other, and i found myself listening to this album back to back almost twice without even really noticing. I can see this album doing well being performed live in order.
+otheamazing Agreed. "What the fuck right now? What the fuck right now? What the, what the fuck right now? What if we fuck right now? What if we fucked right in the middle" Seriously, what the fuck was he on when he wrote that shit? One of the most jarring tracks Kanye has ever made, I cringed so hard.
The review I was waiting for the most.
No one cares bout ur opinion
+Hanston Solo about 600k ppl care about his opinion over then yours tho
When's yours coming?
You need to review Kendrick's Grammy performance. Please do it; it'll be greatly appreciated.
+theneedledrop y r u not a DEHH patreon
Myke C Town legit went through in a week what Anthony Fantano went through over like 2 years
Lmao true
If myke says the album is trash on the first listen that mean it's good

Once Kanye went back and fixed the issues on the original release yeah lmao.
How does Ken not like 808's? Man, that album was awesome.
i hated it for a long time but in hindsight i can appreciate it and I actually really like it now. i bet he hasn't revisited it since it dropped

808s is a good album but overhyped with the influence. It's more of a cult classic that the stans made it appear to be classic. The album have huge influence directly from T-Pain mixed with his emotions at the time.
@@shawnorjiakor thank you sir
@@intelligencecycle3523 You're welcome.
@@shawnorjiakor 2 year gap @_@. That's commitment
@@redwarrior118 🤔 What you mean?
I love ya'll man, always got the anticipation building for the reviews, we know we gettin a fully formed opinion and you guys just got that chemistry bwoooi yeeha, thanks lads much love
Myke I could not agree with you more. I hated it at first, was complaining to my friends and telling people not to listen. Eventually it clicked and it has literally been the only thing I've listened to since. I'll listen to it back to back, at least several times a day every day. I've never played an album more right after release than this one. Also, on FML, strong agree, my favorite song on the album (next to Freestyle 4 and Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1). Outro is one of my favorite Kanye moments ever. Incredible.
I’ve been goin thru a Rabbit hole of DEHH reviews. And these videos r still entertaining to watch! Big ups to the whole crew 👏🏾👏🏾
I still think no more parties in LA is one of the best hip hop songs ever recorded.
Shoutout to Madlib for that beat.
Not a Patreon but still get to watch this video yesssss!
+rulzzzzzz How?
+Kennith Inge someone posted the link on reddit earlier today.. the mods there took it down but it took them a few hours
+Dizzee Down I had a feeling it was on a forum somewhere. I was searching for it but couldn't find it. Thanks.
+Kennith Inge Fantano tweeted it.
+rulzzzzzz Yo that's real fucked up that your bragging about that like they don't put in any work
Shouts out to the Patrons!!! DEHH 4 life
That moment when "black publications" panned TLOP more than "white publications"...
This
😂😂
This was a good episode. Everyone said their thing. I love it when Kinge goes off. The only thing is though, I want you guys to go back to the old format where you all discussed the album at once as a collective, rather than just taking turns. I know it was chaotic at times, but I like DEHH for the group discussions, and with this current format the discussions really gets toned down. Also, it would be a nice change of pace if you guys get more in-depth with these reviews, like discuss it more thoroughly, and you guys can get into things like the themes, meaning, and artistry about the album. There's a lot of things that could've been touched on that that hasn't; e.g. like the outro on FML, the eerie sample "see through the veil, and forget all your cares" and how Kanye followed that with pouring his heart out singing which sounded so raw and emotionally compelling. In any case, just in general getting more elaborate with the reviews would be nice in my opinion. But again, I still enjoyed this review, thanks for making it.
+kashstory Thanks for the feedback.
I dont think he's washed up, he just doesn't have that passion in music anymore, it shifted into the fashion
I'm a big Kanye fan. I think that the album is all over the place, but I was never bored listening to it. I enjoyed it. Honestly, I really love the song Fade. I don't know why, but I just do.
According to Kanye Life of Pablo was a reference to Paul the Apostle
5:08
"So it bump in the whip then?"
"yeah, bumps in the whip"
Lmao Feef i don't think you caught that diss boy
Just started the vid and Ken yelling 😂😂😂
808s and heartbreak was a masterpiece
Stop it
@@JEFFMAN90 4 years later i still stand by this opinion
Yall should rank all of Kanye's albums.
808 was lit
metonymontanas true
metonymontanas LOVE 808s
Brendan Allie you’re bugging. This album is his worst but it’s still good.
I was the same way with yeezus. HATED it at first and now I love it. I hated this album at first but going back it's starting to grow on me more and more.
Kanye doesn't even focus on music right now, his passion is in fashion. Can't force the guy to spend a month in Hawaii with a huge group of people to grind out a GOAT album. Music will never be his #1 focus anymore. TLOP still dope album though
The fuck? It's been out 18 hours and I just got the notification
+Soultronics It was available to Patrons that's why.
+Kennith Inge ken you GOTTA do a video talking about Kanyes madness from 808s onwards, you touched on it here but I swear you mentioned a few years ago you wanted to do a vid on it, would be dope to hear y'alls opinions on him
same
same !
808s is dope as hell! you speak to kids nowadays and they say 808s is the best Kanye album. he has something for everyone
808s is fire KEN YOU'RE BUGGIN
Same. At first I wasn't really liking it. Listened to it like five more times and now I can't stop listening to it. I love it
damn no one even mentioned wolves
it was shot that's why
it was shot that's why
+Quinten exactly!!!
I like The Life of Pablo. I'd give it an 8/10. I keep listening to it and the songs are great. The production and features are dope, but there are too many wack lines Kanye throws in there. He needed to sit down and write some better verses. TLOP is not wack, nor is it a classic. I think it's a solid album with some serious lyrical issues.
I love TLOP, it took a lot of listens but with this album has definitely aged amazingly
Remember when Myke said Because the Internet was what Yeezus should've been
even if i totally disagree with a few things in your reviews you guys are the best. yall always got me laughing and always point out the important factors. i enjoyed the album and im always entertained by your videos regardless of what my opinion or your opinion might be.. thank you so much
PREDICTIONS
Ken - He's gonna be on his old nigga shit
Feefo - THIS BUMPS IN THE WHIP
B - "this confuses me, I just don't like it fam"
Myke - RIP Kanye
It is all over the place, but I do see a sense of cohesion.
The album for me fits into 3 thirds:
Ultralight beam-Highlights (High energy, uplifting, funny, the joy/positives of self-indulgence)
Freestyle 4-Wolves (the dark side/negatives of self-indulgence, Kanye's self-frustration, mania, struggles with growing up and dealing with others)
Silver Surfer-Fade (Bonus tracks, more conventional songs, Kanye's ready to make music again)
The original cover that asked "which one?" I think is a reference to his struggle between being Pablo Picasso and Pablo Escobar (a brilliant artist or a megalomaniac billionaire criminal). In reality, he can't approach either of their levels because most of the dialogue about him is about inconsequential tabloid bullshit.
This album has more IDEAS than SONGS
I pretty much had the same experience Myke had when listening to this. Went from "gaaaaa-bage" to "greatness". Oddly enough same thing happen with Yeezus. After revisiting it a few times it just grew on me.
yeezus either makes you a fan or a hater. theres no in between
I'm here to share my thoughts: I enjoyed this album. To me, this album brought back the College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus, I found every one of them in this album, vibes, mixed. He revealed his inner world, those talking tracks, gospel vibes, sampled songs, beats, etc. If you are a Kanye fan, you will definitely love it. This is the most Kanye Kanye album.
Didn't expect that shit from Myke at all.
Right? I was expecting him to tear it apart.
Jesus I love Myke, I've rarely disagreed with him and he nails it on the head especially on this album. I'm not sure if I love or hate I Love Kanye, but literally I agree with every word you said
I'm actually surprised Myke liked it. I literally had the same experience with the album as you Myke. At first I hated it, but now I really like the album.
In Myke we trust.
Wow mykes reaction was surprising, was expecting the same reaction as he had with yeesus.
30 hours is still probably one of the biggest missed potential songs in hip hop. The beat and Kanye verse are dope if Andre had spat and they didn’t have a 5 hour outro it could’ve been one of the best songs of the year who knows
Shoutout to Myke and Feefo
Guys Kanye just announced a new album this summer, I have a feeling TLOP was just a way to promote his fashion line while getting people to sign up for Tidal. Fingers crossed we get something MBDTF level.
+persona praying too but if he fuck up next time, I done with Kanye.
+persona It is going to be watch the throne 2 it has been teased by mike dean the producer. Secondly TLOP isn't finished everybody that bought tickets to go see the listening party in the movies including myself got a message saying the version on tidal was halfway complete (kind of like a demo) and the full project will be out in the coming days but still has not been released.
Psyche
I agree with myke. I didn't know what to think off my first listen, gave it a few days and it's like Jesus hypnotized me into loving this album.
This album just clicked for me.. Especially given recent events and the underlying theme of religion.
As soon as I heard Kinge's rant in the intro I was dying laughing. I remember his rant for Yeezus.
Hah Myke at the beginning "ohhhh you wrong as shit!"
if you "miss the old Kanye" and want him to make another album he's already made, you don't understand an artist. to quote Jay-Z, "n****s want my old shit, buy my old album." keep progressing and making new sounds, Ye.
He ain't progressing though.
I FEEL LIKE PABLO WHEN...
I'm working on my shoes...
I'm working on these videos.
+Modest Media lmao
+Marco Herrera Chico I see me on the news
I was wrong about my prediction of Myke C which is a prime example of how you never know what a person might hear or see.
I put the album in a different order, and its dope
+Kanye "Pablo" West its absolutely dope in a different order...PROBLEM IS, why the fuck would I need to do that?? The album should be formatted in a cohesive fashion, and if not, and LEAST do it like in TPAB, where meaningful phrases and wordplay come back into latter songs...
+UnBR0k3enAngel for fun
austin Yeah, there's a moment of "fun" when you do order it in the fashion that's great....but I can't help but think 'Ye did that to put "Ultra Light Beam" in front...which works best as a closer track.
dope review, suprised a your reactions, gotta love Ken, definitely worth subscribing to Patreon to here early !!!
Complaining about the lyrics on a Kanye album at this point in his career is like complaining about the acting in Pornography.
Good review guys; agree with pretty much everything Myke said.
***** I said "at this point in his career"
@@calebw3353 Ye was awesome Kids see ghosts is one of his best
What no one understands about Kanye at any point in his career is that he was never much of a lyricist or a rapper honestly he is an artist but of course you guys don't understand that.
@@uraldixon9673 I left that comment four years ago, to be fair. I love TLOP and I always have
the music background was from The bully game - Love it.
I think the whole "it grows on you" line is such a fucking cop out. It was so refreshing when my friend said today, "The more you listen to Kanye's new album, the shittier it gets." I died laughing.
💯
+W. Snow yeezus def. i hated it at first, but now its my fave ye album
Some albums do take multiple listens to really enjoy it or have it click. However this one is not one of them for me.
I liked this album first listen.
take this w
I like how myke enjoyed this, cool to see. If u look at the second track list he put out it would've been fairly cohesive and didn't have the bad songs on it. Anyway i feel like the more songs the better so I don't mind having like fade or facts on if
"It's not serious, but it is very artistic"
fucking nailed it
I was feening for this review lol. Had to become a patreon. Now to get some food and watch this.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye stopped making music entirely after this album. It has a very "fuck it" quality to it.
TheGooseinator Yeah same. I think he's run out of ideas.
I agree with Ken that everything about this album was all over the place, but the thing he’s not getting is that’s sort of what makes it special. I think the experience is coherent and enjoyable for me and that’s all that matters. But I do understand his frustrations, I LIKE it but it’s not objectively near his earlier stuff. I do think Donda was exactly what he said about Kanye trying to blend in a lot more then this album
This album Is really good, definitely better than Views and many other albums that came out this year
Dominik Nowaczyk glad I'm not the only Major 🔑 fan.
Crazy looking back that THIS was the last Kanye album Beezy ever reviewed before the Kanye Rant lol...
Ken had me cracking up at 9:36 after Modest Media asked if he liked it or not.
Yo Fr 😂😂
I'ma challenge what you guys are saying about this album not being cohesive one. This album moves seamlessly. It feels like waves. "Ultralight beam" maybe a hell of a different song than "father stretch my hands" but that transition is smooth as fuck. The outro and into to those songs have similar tones then add the hook and it picks up. It makes all the sounds make sense together and that continues throughout the whole album with many the exclusion of "I love kanye" but even that song had a purpose in the place it was placed. That was like his little intermission, a little fun break then we get waves which is a perfect transition into the darker side of the album then we have silver surfer to transition us back up with 30 hours.
There's a reason why all of these songs are in the order that they are in. This is certainly one of the easiest albums for me to listen to back to back because of how cohesive it actually is. It feels like waves. Him wanting to name his album that is understandable. I first listened to this on tidal where they have this smooth transitional thing where it plays every song in order right after the other, and i found myself listening to this album back to back almost twice without even really noticing. I can see this album doing well being performed live in order.
Lets all agree Freestyle 4 is aweful
+otheamazing Agreed.
"What the fuck right now? What the fuck right now? What the, what the fuck right now? What if we fuck right now? What if we fucked right in the middle"
Seriously, what the fuck was he on when he wrote that shit? One of the most jarring tracks Kanye has ever made, I cringed so hard.
+kashstory Probably didn't write it."Freestyle 4" lol.
It's a top tier Kanye song you just don't understand it
+Mozes Beats i think i get it but after hearing i just didnt have a desire to hear it again
+otheamazing if your favorite tracks were real friends or nmpila this just isn't for you
i understand people not liking 808s but you cannot deny how important that album was for hiphop.
had to skip grandpa Ken part he's talking about the good ole days again 😴😴
