Might be best to wait until it comes out on ITunes, says he needs to fix Wolves, which is true because Vic and Sia should've never have gone

You don't have to be so obsessively loyal to him, it doesn't make you some sort of incredible fan. In fact, a better fan would be willing to accept when he's been at his weakest. Kanye's been massive in shaping my music taste ever since I first listened to The College Dropout....but saying 808s and Heartbreak shaped modern rap is absolutely ridiculous and narrow minded. I dislike it but it's his favourite album, it means a lot to him, it has a lot of fans and it at least has cohesion.

i don't think me liking every one of his albums is me trying to make myself his number one fan; i like what i like, and he hasn't put out a bad album. yeezus is probably my least favourite; it dips massively in the middle and guilt trip, hold my liquor and i'm in it are all pretty much the same, but when it's bad it's still good and that's a testament to his quality as an artist.

808's inspired a wave of musicians; drake, james blake, the weeknd, frank ocean, etc. etc. etc.; pretty much everyone started using autotune more regularly after 808s dropped when previously it was slated, 808s was years ahead of its time and it is by no means his worst album, i definitely think at the time people didn't 'get' it, but it's incredible.

did 808s really inspire james blake tho

[WithLoveAndSqualor]

After a good few listens I can say that I'm a bit disappointed with TLOP. Unlike most Kanye albums it lacks good cohesion and a central theme to tie everything together. The album rushes by in a blur with few standout tracks and not much had stuck with me; hardly surprising given how much Kanye has chopped and changed the album since first announcing its release. ULB, Famous, Real Friends and No More Parties in LA are all great but a lot of the other tracks aren't particularly memorable at all which is a shame.

that doesnt make your opinion about an album relevant when you havent listened to it

for the record i think its a poor album so dont try and claim im being a stan :^)

Not really a rap album though, has a few rap features but that's it. I wasn't fully convinced on it.

[andymck]

As expected, the new Kendrick is great.

[WithLoveAndSqualor]

i want to like it but i'm not sure on it; though that was pretty much the same feeling i had with TPAB

untitled 06 is a highlight tho

[Kesskuron]

Damn
