8/19/2005 11:28:46 AM

im not a fan of kanye

but i cant hate on soulful beats with john legend on the hook

but dont get me started on that diamonds from sierra leone nonsense

8/19/2005 11:28:53 AM

love the gold digga track

[Edited on August 19, 2005 at 11:30 AM. Reason : yeah - when I heard the Diamonds are forever I thought the soph. album was gonna suck]

8/19/2005 11:29:31 AM

and here's the conflict...

8/19/2005 11:32:09 AM

^^ nah, i liked the song

when it was originally about The Roc

but when hes fake ass tried to get concious


i said fuck that hypocritical ass dude

tho Jay's verse is fire

8/19/2005 11:34:41 AM

i love that he did a track with nas

8/19/2005 11:35:00 AM

everyone is a hypocrite

8/19/2005 11:36:06 AM

i think its more of the fact that the dude a grown ass man

and just learned about conflict diamonds, when I knew about the shit when I was in middle school

and is trying to preach about the situation

while rockin diamond incrusted chains/pieces

that could feed the entire country of sierra leone


If he gives proceeds of the album/single to the country, then i'll give him a pass

8/19/2005 11:42:57 AM

i like it alot and im only on track 3


i didnt like gold digger all that much...i got it a few weeks ago floatin around on a file sharing thing

i just think ive heard better from him, thats all

8/19/2005 11:43:11 AM

you already know my favorite track

is "Gone" with KILLA Cam

8/19/2005 11:45:32 AM

haha

8/19/2005 11:47:08 AM

bout to give it a listen

8/19/2005 12:08:31 PM

This album is hot. Lots of people aren't gonna like it...seems like some grown ass hit, IMO, that people aren't gonna be feelin'.

Kanye West + John Brion on production = BEST DECISION EVAR

8/19/2005 12:12:42 PM

hahahaha holy shit

john brion of eternal sunshine of the spotless mind?

8/19/2005 12:15:33 PM

^^ yea, definately dosent have the commercial appeal as last one did, and thats what I like

Kaynes at his best when he's still producing like he did when no one knew who he was, definately has an orchestra/church organ vibe to the beats

I still don't think he's outdone the pure illness that was "Guess Whos Back" when he first came out

[Edited on August 19, 2005 at 12:53 PM. Reason : shit was too goddamn raw]

8/19/2005 12:53:37 PM

after listening to the whole album

teh second track (first track after the opener) is my favorite

that piano sample is very pleasing to my ears

8/19/2005 12:54:36 PM

Kanye first got put onto John Brion when he heard Fiona Apple's work (Tidal and When the Pawn...). I think it's a great marriage...

Anyone else see the MTV special on Kanye last night? Y'all need to check it out.

And lastly, "Golddigger" trips me out.

[Edited on August 19, 2005 at 1:00 PM. Reason : I'm all late.]

8/19/2005 12:57:29 PM

you can read the interview on mtvnews.com

8/19/2005 1:04:33 PM

saw the interview, it was gay.

8/19/2005 1:09:47 PM

i tell you what tho

i dont normally watch that nick cannon show

but when dude said "try making a song without a sample"

i damn near shat myself

8/19/2005 1:21:24 PM

i wish "My Way Home" was longer...

"we Major," "Touch the Sky," and "Celebration" are nice

8/19/2005 1:23:46 PM

^^ i prefered the orlando jones one where they say they arent surprised he got fired at 7-up cuz they all drinkin sprite.

but those are the only two episodes ive seen of wildin out....



i swear.....seriously....ok i saw drumline too

I have a problem with the whole "Jesus walks" then the kanye workout plan being on the same album

i'm out for the night on that one

[Edited on August 19, 2005 at 7:49 PM. Reason : a]

8/19/2005 7:49:25 PM

my favorite track is the one with lupe fiasco, soley for the curtis mayfield flip. woo.

8/20/2005 9:55:09 AM

coppin it right now, we'll see if this is the typical mediocre sophomore album

Although I thought Kanye was kinda overrated in the first place. Then again, I'm always suspicious of any rapper that's hyped as the next big thing.

8/20/2005 10:14:12 AM

downloading now, thanks for posting those!

is this an advance or final?

thnx

haha that is true. the whole conflict diamonds thing has been publicly known for years. but i agree about john legend hooks w/kanye. i<3 the combo. i really want this cd, and if my computer isn't fixed before it's released retail, i'll buy it.

8/20/2005 1:51:58 PM

if you really want it you should buy it even if your computer is fixed.

8/20/2005 2:39:03 PM

i know but i have more important things i should probably be spending my money on.

8/20/2005 3:48:35 PM

eh.. i'm not really feeling it.

8/21/2005 1:15:13 PM

i had listened to the "advance" of college dropout and still bought it the day it was released.

this time. . . not so much.

8/21/2005 8:34:27 PM

i dunno -

i'm definitely feeling those tracks

i think this album is quality -

i've only listened to it all the way through 1.5 times or so,

but i'm sayin, i'm not huge into the mainstream end of hip hop,

but kanye's kinda tha fuckin' man

-ZiP!-

8/21/2005 8:38:26 PM

I like it. I will admit, though, that I am a little disappointed. Kanye West is the best in the game and is capable of putting out an album full of nothing but hit songs. This one has about five or six.

It's no sophomore slump, but it's short of amazing.

8/21/2005 10:35:29 PM

I love it, love every bit of it except it is weak on #11 i believe other than that its pretty solid from start to finish. he def. mixed the style up but kept the album fairly consistent throughout.

your rap card is now revoked. thanks.

^i think you mean revoked?

-ZiP!-

8/22/2005 12:47:13 AM

HAHA

PROVOKED

8/22/2005 12:53:31 AM

^^^Name someone better.

8/22/2005 2:17:04 AM

the paul wall collabo grew on me

and the cam'ron track has jumped up to be my favorite on the CD

8/22/2005 10:30:08 AM

^^ Um, Nas.

And I don't care if my hip-hop pass is revoked...I love Paul Wall.

8/22/2005 10:38:51 AM

whadditdo

8/22/2005 10:40:36 AM

^^Nas is close, but doesn't have the producing and mix talents of Kanye.
