I'm not going to argue with you guys, we aren't ever going to agree. Enjoy what you like, and I'll enjoy what I like.

That's the top response on the Family Feud list of 10 Things Losers Say.

I learned a long time ago that I cant seriously discuss music with you.

[BlackSwan]

At least there is a Family Feud reference in here now.

I think it probably comes down to whether or not you liked Kanye from the beginning. If you were a fan of the CD and LR stuff, you probably didn't like 808's. However I'm sure a lot of people who were never really fans of his music up until that point before really liked 808's because it was so different.

[juloxx]

You mistake utter boringness for subtlety. I find it really doubtful that any track on that completely uninteresting album was more from the heart than Spaceship.

Truth. Though I have only heard the singles from the album 808 (that fruity ass song Heartless & such). Maybe if I copped the album and gave it a proper listen I would feel different.

But... Spaceship = Best song from his first album. Maybe even just his best song.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Hey look, Juloxx is on your team.

[Monklish]

Us coons stick together, white boy.

[juloxx]

[hawkingvsreeve]

Right.


In other related news, it appears that Bad Boys 2 came out on my birthday.

Spaceship is definitely one of his best songs if not THE best. All his other stuff is far more meaningful than 808's. I actually listened to the entire album too, not just the singles, and it just sounded so poorly produced to me. It just didn't feel like Kanye.

Kind of random, but did Swagga Like Us drop after 808's?

Came out a few months before.

[ficklecycle]

I ask because, hearing 808's I figured he was just going down that path and not turning back. Then I heard his drop in Swagga and it blew me away, obviously that fire was still there. Hope he just comes back to it.

Then you may be the chosen one

Ok Hawkingsman I listened to 808s last night and this morning. And this album is incredible. It still doesnt beat the brillance of the team of Jon Brion and Kanye on LR but I now put it ahead of College Dropout.

And Graduation was so damn hit or miss for me. But I wonder is EPIC!!!! And that word is overused but that's the only way to describe it.

this album is supposedly 'Ye doing hip-hop again...i'll try and find some quotes but people that have worked on the album are saying things like best album in the past ten years...

Q-Tip, RZA and Pete Rock??? Sounds like Kanye is finally gonna get off that horrible auto-tune bullshit with this new album. Thank fucking Christ.

I know, right? FINALLY after all these years and all of these albums where he used auto-tune, it comes to an end at last. I didn't think he was ever going to stop with that nonsense.

[FoxeyLady]

Ha, ok maybe I was over-exaggerating, I'm just happy he's going back to what he does best.

[hawkingvsreeve]

OH MY GOD THE AUTOTUNE

[FoxeyLady]

Seriously though. Fuck auto-tune. I can't stand that garbage.

[WhyTheLongFace]

[suprefan]

YES

[superfiction]

while thats cool hopefully they release a studio version to go along with it

[fnmore]

can't imagine 808s without autotune

it is a kanye west production..........like his others

brilliant hip-hop artist

genius
