I just bought Kanye West's new album and it was a big let down.  Besides a few hot cuts, the overall album had weak production and a dull vibe.

The beats just weren't hitting hard.  Like Sheek Louch would say, it was kinda moist."

Kanye West has mad creativity for his albums no song is the same and that is what we need in hip-hop where everything seems to be formula based.

Kanye has always been screaming booty. Nothing new there and if you're trying to avoid that stay away from Drunk And Hot Girls.

Just listened through it again and Kanye knows he got the game on lock.
Champion was his normal uplifting track and fits into the mode of Touch The Sky. I Wonder was a pretty good track. Barry Bonds was Kanye's spazz out track, only thing against it was I felt Wayne ruined the track. Drunk and Hot Girls was different, it was a track you knew Kanye was gonna include and it was a track that seemed like something Luda would have recorded. Flashing Lights is like Kanye Wests Workout Plan in that it really gets stcuk in your f**king head. Everything I am was the second best track on the album and is truly the evolution of Kanye West. The Glory was just kinda there. Homecoming was another track where you can see Kanye getting experimental but he did his thing.  Best track on the album was Big Brother hands down. Kanye totally made a track I culd relate to with me having a big brother. Of course thats weird since him and Jay aren't brothers and Kanye doesn't have any brothers but he just gets it even if its from a supplemental type of relationship. Its about how you always look up to these people because they are your older brother and they really don't like being your mentor but they make you earn their respect. I'm too much of a man but I felt like I could have cried to that song if I wanted to.

Thanks for the warningWink
OK let me explain my POV, on this thing. I love Pac and DMX...they certainly bragged and talked about sexin' they are grown sexy men....
I can get past that....b/c that is not their only position...
DMX is sensitive, spiritual, connected, and Pac, Black Panther Cub...loved his sister and mama ....right?
 
BUT when an artist str8 couchie'n the entire album, and that's their M.O. ALL the friggin time..OMG.  Everybody is not going to be like Common or Talib totally understadable ,
I'm screamn' go deeper, Damned we all know they having sex with women coz that got signed......But damnit...they gettn' cut from my team.
 
I wish T-Pain would go get a gig working at McDonalds, garbage, Polution, empty!
