His solo career has lasted only 7 years. Considering all of his albums get good reviews (not to mention great sales) and this one is getting outstanding reviews...I don't see why he wouldn't keep making albums.
Very true. Should have been more clear but what I meant was that while rap isn't my genre of choice I do enjoy some of the genre's masterpieces. By "good" I mean acclaimed, revered, of notable merit.

Damn, I didn't realize Yeezy sold 4 million, 6 million, 6.5 million, and 3.5 million. Still wishful thinking, but I'd LOVE to see this album go diamond.

I just didn't think his mainstream audience had a large enough attention span to listen to the same artist for more than a few years without getting bored of the name Kanye West and moving on to the next big fad.

nah, kanye's different. his audience reaches much further than just the mainstream.
EDIT: toriko beat me to it. he's got the right idea...
I hate Kanye. I think he is one of the most overrated hip-hop (if you can call it that) artists of all time. I will give it a listen, but I'll be very suprised if its any good. What passes for good hip-hop these days is a shame. All about money. *Goes back to listening to R. A. The Rugged Man* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGZsGX3B_BY
Love him, hate him or reside somewhere in between, Kanye makes good music. I knew this album would be good, I'm just surprised that it's quite as good as it is.
[QUOTE="Fuhgeddabouditt"]ever since 808s & Heartbreak, I havent really felt his albums. College Dropout to Graduation were great, this one, its decent. lazerface216
did you like late registration?
Yeah. From College Dropout to Graduation. Should of added Late Registration in the sentence :P

my bad, i misread your post. lol somehow i missed the "to".
Not the hugest fan of Kanye having only heard Graduation and 808's which I thought were ok but I'm honestly blown away by My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. For sure my favorite album of 2010.
Favorite tracks right now are Dark Fantasy, All of The Lights, So Appalled
After listening it couple of times, I can see why people are saying it's his best album. I don't think it's a 10/10 like the Pitchfork review, but again, I can see where they're coming from. Love the album.
That was nice. I never heard of them until now. (can't say I've been keeping up with Death Metal as much I should) I know not a good reason considering Nile has been around for a second.

I actually posted that in the wrong thread, was supposed to be in the thread about (instrumentally) heavy songs. :P
Yeah, so all the "fake" Eminem fans here can get off of their "All rap is garbage except for Eminem" High horses...jeremiah06
A lot of Eminem fans have thought that for the past 10 years despite that fact that there's been a ton of great hip-hop during that time period. Even this album probably won't change their mind either.
(And to the guy two above me: if you're talking about the Grammys then MBDTF isn't eligible for this year's Grammys because they have really stupid cutoff dates.)
