Legend Claws Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thoughts? I really like the guys music but am really unsure about this. It is like any generic 'R&B' effort. I need to listen more but on first listen I'm pretty disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I haven't heard this yet, but I hated Love Lockdown when I first heard it. Like you, it sounded like any other generic R&B, which I have no interest in. And then something clicked and I think it's amazing! Kanye is where it's at!

Was good when he was good, though, if you get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Lockdown is a great tune but so far to me the rest of it may as well be some horrible Ne-Yo or Akon effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The College Dropout was his best work. Can listen to the whole cd over and over. Some cracking tunes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I love his other work but this...well it hasn't grown on me over the last week or so. I don't think its built as a major album, more of a "look what I can do, no one else is doing this...im the man dawg!" kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have not listened to the new album yet but I will probably get my sister it for Xmas (she is a massive fan) and then I can stick it on the old Ipod anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig-Section Z Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Listened to the first 4 tracks so far and its awesome. Different from any other Kanye stuff but its brilliant!! Its still about the beats its just stripped down and simplified, i like it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Drago Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 surely the most overrated rap/ hip-hop artist ever? I just dont get the fuss at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durdmeister Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Was never a big Kanye fan , thought 'jesus walks', 'Hey mama', 'Roses, and 'Goldigger' were all top tunes but apart from that I was never a fan. Downloaded this album last week and in my opinion its horrendously bad, The whole voice changer slow R and B thing isnt working for him. To be fair though 'Bad News' seems to be the one good tune. I'll keep giving it a go and see if its a grower though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
