Vipa Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) I understand a lot of you don't like Kanye, but there are a few that do... I picked this album up yesterday and I gotta say, I was impressed. Different sound, but I really liked it. The instrumentals are amazing, too... "Say You Will", "Welcome To Heartbreak", "Street Lights", "Bad News", "Coldest Winter", "Paranoid"...All great songs, and in my opinion much better than the two singles he's released so far.

Bob Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) I won't. Theater of the Mind is way too awesome to waste time with the vocoding-kanye. Edited November 27, 2008 by Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yes, with all due respect, i listened 2 Kanye's album and i think it's utter crap from all angles. I listened 2 Ludacris' album and liked it so much that that i bought it. Luda has never impressed me that much. I bought his last album cuz i thought half of the songs were good but i bought it used. This album seemed so good that i actually bought. Sure, there are a few trax that aren't great, but i think he's really developing in2 a dope artist.

fan 4ever Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yeah I'm also looking forward to buying the new Ludacris album. Can't say I'm that excited about the new Kanye album... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Kanye knows allot about music. The music, the songs are really good.. but he destroys them. with a nice voice it would have been good. i dig ludas new album too even tho i never realy felt his style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think that if some new artist were over Kanye's current beats, i would accept them becuz they were from "that kinda artist." Kanye is supposed to be Hip-Hop/Rap. His current music doesn't reflect that. I'm expecting a dope beat like "All Falls Down" but i hear this stuff. It's hard for me 2 appriciate the experimental side of this becuz i think it's awful. Born To Reign wasn't my favorite vibe from FP, but even tho' it was still different, i liked it. Kanye's experimenting isn't like that. I personally think it's awful. I think that if a real singer on a totally different vibe were singing, i would accept it. I don't know that i'd like it then, but i'd ignore instead of being insulted. Kanye has never been a performer but have u seen his recent performances, the music reflects how bad his performances and style have gotten. Mash that up with his ego and ignorant statements...i'm just done with him until he does something good. Y'all knock me for being so against commerical rap and not being open minded but i really am, i listen 2 everything. Think about all the times i would talk about Lurdacris from 2001 up until now. I went from liking him on Timbaland's "Fat Rabbit" in 1998(before anyone outside of GA knew who he was) to not being 2 him, 2 knocking him for having the same subject matter on every song and making annoying 2 dementional songs, 2 cleaning his game up on his last album to liking and buying his new album. It's all opinions. Someone says it's ridiculous for loving Kid 'N Play or M.C. Hammer but i still listen 2 them and i don't lose any sleep at night...ha ha. I can say Kanye's album sucks becuz that's what i think, i'm not being negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) so if I tell you you should go out and check the mims album you'd be ready to do it? Edited November 27, 2008 by Turntable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 ive just got it, im on the first song and its making me feel depressed. I'll give my proper feedback when ive heard it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 so if I tell you you should go out and check the mims album you'd be ready to do it? I did listen 2 most of it...i didn't like it. I kinda liked the remix with Junior Reid but that was only becuz of Junior Reid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Lol, thats what I luv about u people, u listen to everything and check everything out. Im going to get that Luda cd and give it a try, a lot of people are giving some good feedbacks about it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg14 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I listened to Kanye's new CD last night and I must admit that I didn't like it all that much. The album felt rushed to me. It felt like he just recorded stuff & didn't really think it through and go back & revise it a bit. It could have been a real good album if he tightened it up some. It's jumbled. There are about 4 or 5 songs I like but the rest is not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 i havent heard the album yet but my friend had it in ihs car and some song was playing and i liked it alot. besides that, coldest winter is an incredible song to me. i listen to it in chunks. like on repeat 10 times each time i click it. but then again i can respect experimentation alot more, at first i was totally against kanyes new album but im starting to lean towards it.

Bob Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Well, my friend bought kanyes new album and he said its pretty good, I will give it a listen and then I will decide by myself. Bob, Im waiting for a review on this one since my boy AJ is bringing the negative side Id like to see what the positive side of the production is.. If you are hoping for me to review 808's and heartbreak, I have to apologize. I doubt I will even give the album a listen. Even as much as I love Luda's new album, I probably won't review that either since I have had zero time recently. All these final exams, projects, and presentations have been looming over my head. Plus I've been swamped getting prepared for my study in France come January. Edited November 30, 2008 by Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
