Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Album of the Year?!

[QUOTE="go_mets"][QUOTE="jeremiah06"]Yeah, so all the "fake" Eminem fans here can get off of their "All rap is garbage except for Eminem" High horses...muffincakes87

I can't wait to see what Kanye does at the Grammy's. Last time he performed with Daft Punk so he's definitely gonna try to top it.

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

if you can call it that? what would you call it? rugged man is no more hip hop than kanye. just because kanye doesn't sound like jedi mind tricks or a wannabe mobb deep/wu-tang circa 1996 doesn't mean he's any less hip hop than anyone you listen to. there are many different s.tyles of hip hop. but you go on ahead and go back to listening to your monotonous, fenced in version of what you think it should be.

LOL @ kanye being all about money. you obviously don't listen, why am i even trying....

:lol: For real. If Kanye was all about the money he wouldn't experiment as much as he does...he could've made a "safe" album instead of making 808s and Heartbreak if he was all about the money.

Hell even making this album was risky because of how different it is.

that's why i love him. as far as mainstream hip hop, nobody takes more chances. hell, even underground most of the time...

yet people judge him based on his public persona before even listening to the music, but i guess he has no one to blame but himself for that.

I love the album but I cant stand the song "So Appalled". The way the guy says rediculous is so annoying. He pronounces it "redik-uh-lis" and says it like 50 times in the song:x

This thread has just reminded me that I need to go order it on Amazon along with Pink Friday. *disappears*

I haven't listened to much of it yet (I will), but I did not like monster. Thankfully, I heard that was the worst song on the album. Also, Rolling Stone is crap. Lastly, Pitchfork spent more time in their review talking about the connections between michael jackson and Kanye than they did on the album...

Mr_Anderson1817

Yeah "Monster" and "So Appalled" are my least favorite on the album. Like 10 'featuring' ppl just trying to be hardcore. "Hell of a life" is another bad one, just annoying autotune..

Really? You'd nominate an album for album of the year, even though you don't like at least three of the songs on it? That's a depressing statement about the present state of music and the present state of music consumerism. My faith in humanity is now even further in the negative.

The problem is that you people are such brain-dead drones when it comes to music, you don't even know what "risky" or "experimental" mean. Nothing Kanye West has created has ever been anything more than fomulaic, sample-filled, mindless noise. It's ALL "safe," and the music industry is absolutely LOVING the fact that it can release cheap, quick, easy nothingness, and people like you are so perfectly conditioned to it that you will actually think it's good. Wake up.

as far as mainstream music, he's pretty creative. i mean, he's no lou reed or anything but who is?

From what I've heard so far it's a really solid album.

[QUOTE="BIG-BOSSMAN"]Too many people are stickriding kanye to be cool.Luxen90

It's not bad. It will probably win albulm of the year (personally i would rather see Katy Perry's new album). Nevertheless its good to see Kanye's personal life isn't interfering with the quality of music.huytttr

I bought this the first day it came out at Best Buy and all I can say is "WOW" best album of the year for sure! This better get multiple Grammys!!!

Plus I never buy albums but I just had to support this pure genius work! With all that mainstream garbage out there I'm glad Kanye West being a mainstream artist and all came out with this instant classic masterpiece! The Michael Jackson's Thriller of our generation!! Everyone do yourself a favor and buy this masterpiece and prepare for multiple eargasms!!

My Favourite track is Dark Fantasy but...Devil in a new dress is a close second...I also like Lost in the World..Heck I like every single track on this album!

"CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER!??"

Is it really that good ? I was kinda dissapointed with 808s but I really loved the college dropout.whoopy2008

808s is one of his best.

I haven't heard MBDTF yet so my list goes as follows:

#1 - Late Registration

#2 - 808s and a Heartbreak

#3 - College Dropout

#4 - Graduation

Auto-Tune was around during the start of hip-hop. Funk and Disco were fused in the beginning to make hip-hop. It's not all about Gangster Rap or MC battles. DJ-ing, mixing, and Production play a big part of hip-hop. Kanye West started off as a producer for Jay-Z before blowing up on his first album "College Dropout" which in my eyes is a ****c(like each one of his albums). HE is hip-hop.

The artist he's put on: Lupe Fiasco, Common, Kid Cudi, John Legend... all of them contributed to hip-hop in one way, shape, or form. For Kanye to do a whole album using auto-tune like 808s was a project he wanted to do and because he had the talent to do so. Not alot of hip-hop artist can experiment the way Kanye does because they don't have the talent to do so. Lil Wayne is another one of these artist, he came out with "Rebirth" which was a rock-orientated album. Just because the music isn't the general/generic rap you're used to doesn't mean it's hip-hop. Run DMC did rock themed songs and that was hip-hop. Do not say using auto-tune is against hip-hop. Nelly did songs with country artist, that doesn't make him less of an hip-hop artist.

Stop trying to put a label on the movement, because that's what hip-hop is: A Movement. Rap is the genre under the Hip-Hop umbrella. You can be a country hip-hop artist, you can be a rock hip-hop artist. Hip-Hop is an artform & lifesty/le. It's about freedom of speech through your lyrics and speaking about what means most to you and happiness.

nobody here is talking about lil wayne or drake though, and who the hell considers lil wayne top 5? one of your buddies?

i find it funny that kanye never used auto tune until his 808's album yet people act like he's been doing it forever. college dropout, late registration and graduation, arguably his three best albums, barely used any autotune if any at all. yet you seem to think that's all he's about. makes me wonder if you have ever even really listened to any of his music extensively, or at all for that matter.

very little autotune on the new record btw, find out for yourself.

don't get me wrong, i love independent and underground hip hop but i'm not going to dismiss an artist just because he's commercially successful. there is good mainstream hip hop out there, kanye, the roots and outkast prove that. it's just that it's very, very few and far between.
