You've said that about twenty times in this thread.I agree on the first three. The rest are sort of irrelevant to me. Some good songs here and there, and experimental production, but nothing I can actually like very much.
Pitchfork gave him 9/10 ffs.
Jeeze...
The fact that he's such a bad lyricist just can't be stated enough, though.You've said that about twenty times in this thread.
Third rant of the day now - doesn't want white people (aka the mainstream media) to comment on black music anymore. I think he's disappointed by the reviews... bizarrely including Pitchfork giving him a ridiculously generous 9/10.
I feel like replying saying I've never been on Tidal but I've heard it, and it sucks balls.
I'm almost hoping that he's gone a bit crazy/ is taking too many drugs. Would be so shit if all this madness is just a publicity stunt.He complains in order to promote himself. It's all staged nonsense.
People who do rate him too apparently, Pitchfork consistently give him glowing reviews!So people who don't rate him are racist?
Jesus fecking Christ, how anyone can like this twat is beyond me.
But not 30/10 so they're clearly white supremacists.People who do rate him too apparently, Pitchfork consistently give him glowing reviews!
It definitely is, though.I'm almost hoping that he's gone a bit crazy/ is taking too many drugs. Would be so shit if all this madness is just a publicity stunt.
This is the same 'grown ass man' who said his greatest pain is that he'll never get to see himself perform live.So a grown ass man needs to resort to this kind of utter bullshit to earn more publicity?
There's a lot of good stuff on it but right now I could probably cut tracks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13 without losing anything. Not a good sign.On a side note the album definitely gets better with each listen, if it wasn't for the piss poor lyrics it'd be an incredibly strong album - makes his meltdown even more saddening.
Yeah you're right, it definitely drops in quality around the middle. Low Lights (6) and I love Kanye (9), are more interludes than serious tracks though I'd say. Personally Wolves is one of my favourites and the only track I'd skip is 9, which for an 18 track album is quite remarkable.There's a lot of good stuff on it but right now I could probably cut tracks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13 without losing anything.

Musics answer to Mourinho indeed.Hater's gonna hate. Bring it on Kanye!
Actually meant 14, not 13. A lot of those are interludes but they break momentum at a point where the album is already weak with tracks like Feedback, Highlights and Freestyle 4. Even if you cut them out you'd still have a natural dip in the middle with Waves and FML, so having it flatline for 12 minutes before that as well isn't great.Yeah you're right, it definitely drops in quality around the middle.

Never had much of that to begin with. It was his production and willingness to experiment that set him apart. I still don't like him, mind.I'm actually bored of criticising him now, as it's too much of an open goal: can't sing well, can't rap well, best work is in the past, rapidly losing his allegedly decent lyrical ability, increasingly outdated, uses autotune, best parts of his songs are often samples of other people's excellent work, the triumph of publicity over talent etc etc; it's like a list of Rooney's current failings - all "can'ts" and "used to's".
Well said mate.I'm actually bored of criticising him now, as it's too much of an open goal: can't sing well, can't rap well, best work is in the past, rapidly losing his allegedly decent lyrical ability, increasingly outdated, uses autotune, best parts of his songs are often samples of other people's excellent work, the triumph of publicity over talent etc etc; it's like a list of Rooney's current failings - all "can'ts" and "used to's".
Kanye has said some awful stuff but, how could you not like him saying that? "My greatest pain in life is that I'll never be able to see myself perform live" is just a brilliant quote.This is the same 'grown ass man' who said his greatest pain is that he'll never get to see himself perform live.
