Kanye West 2nd Ablum thoughts

Right on Doc, It's a hard life when you're selling your time.

yeah, that was crazy....

WOW!!! I read this whole thread and must say that I have heard some increadable stuff!

ALBUM REVIEW:
First off, I REALLY like the album! It's not perfect, but I feel it is honest and refreashing. The tracks are deep and the songs are SONGS! They aren't just loops with someone rhyming. Many of the songs have HEART, and that is what is missing from alot of Hip-Hop albums lately.

REVIEW OF REVIEWS:
Now many hear seem to not like the album and that's cool, but to hate because he has help is ridiculous! The role of producer is not to do everything and play every sound! You would think people into Hip-Hop music (not just rap) would understand this as Hip-Hop music was born from sampling!

TO THE HATERS!
I think many are put off by his arrogance (yes he is arrogant), but what does that matter when listening to the music? Jay-Z is arrogant but he's hot and one of the best MC's of current times. STOP THE HATE!!!

KANYE'S COMMENTS ON TV
And finally about his comments toward the hurrican and Bush. I AGREE COMPLETELY!!! Bush had the nerve to call what happened "a minor disruption!" BIG PROPS TO KANYE FOR HAVING THE HEART AND BALLS TO SAY THIS ON TV! And yes, Bush is a [closet] racist!

though I dont like the album much, I cant deny whats real. Thats real.

Closet racist? I thought he was outta the closet looooooooooooong ago. Dude embodies white corperate america, which is, at it's core, racist beyond argument.

Fuk Bush more than Kanye, that's for sure

I think Kanye should just take one for the team and let Bush beat up his booty(no homo) so he can get all the "minority flowers" outta his system. Ill admit he'd have to let Bush get down for a veeeeeerrrryy long time but Kanye seem passionate about the cause so......

Bush only rapes black women.

kanye was a real man saying what he said on TV, made every other entertainer look like a **** too scared to speak their mind.

what did i stumble upon?

i was just droppin' in to say that after a few listens i don't really care for late registration. i like a song or two but thats about it.

We don't really need to talk about kanye on the mpc forums anymore because it doesn't really sound like he's rockin one that much anymore. Didn't he have other people doin a lot of the music on there? One beat that i actually connected with (touch the sky) w/ that curtis mayfield sample........ checked the liner notes: produced by Just Blaze. WTF kanye, lettin others produce your songs....lazy (even though it's kinda hot)

I did laugh though when Bernie Mack said he looked like a 4th grader w/ that backpack.....on the intro.

So I guess this makes Jay-Z lazy because he never produced on track on any of his albums (Yes I know Jay isn't a producer) or Timbo is lazy because he let Heavy D and J. Nitti produce 2 tracks on Timbaland and Magoo's UCII album....Kanye said it himself, Just Blaze is one of the best producers of all time so why wouldn't he let him to a track on the album....I am not trying to come at you or anything but that statement made no sense!!!!

You could see it from that perspective, yes.

...................

I see we are back on the Kanye subject again.....

Album...4/10

Bush Comment...10/10


END.

Well, there is one thing that is crystal clear. There are an abundance of haterz on this forum. It's funny how people learn a few tricks on the MPC, and now they are the authority on what hip-hop should sound like. Some of the comments I have read in this post are just completely ridiculous.
Someone said that he didn't flip samples enough. Sometimes a sample should not be flipped!! Period. How many times have I heard some trash on this site where some herb tried to chop a loop and it sounded just horrible. If the beat sounds good who cares if he flipped it.
Somebody else said he should have stuck with an MPC and ASR. And someone else is objecting to him using help on his album. There is no one person out there who can do everything. Even the all time greats get help on their projects. That's just the way it is. Yall forget that "Reminsice", arguable one of the best hip-hop songs ever was an assist (from what I hear, the Large Proffesor gave Pete Rock the sample if you did not know). Does this make "Reminisce" any less of a great song? NO!!
This album is tight period, it IS hip-hop at it's purest form. Do you people actually listen to music? I don't believe many of you are. If you did you would see that Kanye gave us an album that is A. tight musically, B. real hiphop music, C. drops some knowledge on a few tracks if you actually listen. I could understand if you are just not feelin his style, but to say that dude has no talent is bull****. I can only sum this up to being hate. It kills yall that many of yall bang on your MPC every night, chop your samples to mince meat, are key-style champion on your forum, and unfortunately for you, you will NEVER attain what Kanye has, or even get a record deal. NEVER (even though you got Jon blaze shit) EVER!!!
