I'm definitely digging his new stuff. As much as i wasn't feeling 808's when it first came out, i think it brought a whole new side of hip-hop. If you look at all the new people in hip hop coming out right now such as drake, cudi, wiz etc. Their sound has many similarities to Kanye's 808.

How come no one is talking about Monster on here. The Nicki Minaj verse = WOAH.

College Dropout is one of my favorite hip hop albums of the 00's.... maybe it's because it came out when I was starting high school and I have so many memorie attached to it.

Really didn't like Graduation nor 808s ... even though they were more cohesive as opposed to Dropout and explored new stylez (for 808s).

This is the best album I've heard in a long time, believe the hype.

Ex Carter · 2010-11-23, 14:14:51

Nearly finished listening to the album now. Very very impressed.

Digital Glasses · 2010-11-23, 20:53:01

Just embarked on my first listen. First tune is epic. This is good.

conorp · 2010-11-23, 22:35:37

Absolutely incredible.

BillieT · 2010-11-23, 22:42:15

Album of the year?

Digital Glasses Wrote:The songs are maximal, emotive and really bold. But musically the way that all these layers build up is really accomplished. He has a great ear. Stylistically, I'd never usually bite but this is so progressive for a pop album.

Example:

Sums it up more eloquently than I ever could.

'All of the Lights' is just an incredible pop song.

I keep coming back to this. I have issues with a few things (no one cares about the really shitty opening monologue from Nicki?!) but it will probably be my most played album of 2011...

SpunkyBackpack · 2011-01-25, 19:52:33

Still rinsing this album on a nigh on daily basis (feel a bit ill that i used the word 'rinsing' instead of 'listening to', sorry). That guy knows how to do a drum beat that's for sure.

K-Bear · 2011-01-25, 21:42:34

Its actually good IMO

ana · 2011-01-27, 12:48:56

after all the hype and the ''critical acclaim'', im trying to listen to it again-again trying to like it... its really well produced and got some fine moments like ''blame game'', ''devil in a new dress'' etc.. but in overall, its so boring..
p.s. i hate the parts where he sings with the ''robotic'' voice.. :P

auxrevoir · 2011-01-31, 05:12:54

insane album.. thank god his auto tune days were just a phase. hell of a life & monster are my favorites.

sgd · 2011-02-01, 09:06:06

i'm glad i'm not the only one who loves the nikki minaj verse on monster.

Santero · 2011-02-01, 12:57:28

Still makes me chuckle how consistently hip hop ends up in the "non-electronic" forum.

Top album.

Larvi · 2011-02-01, 17:37:32

Some great songs, some total trainwrecks with useless additions (Blame Game outro-sketch, wtf?)

aidan_h · 2011-02-02, 00:48:44

how many people get the chris brown "sketch"?

added pathos with every listen

chris rock :L
that is such a fucking amazing song,
for real.

favourite has got to be Devil In A New Dress,
or else im in L.O.V.E with Blame Game and Jay-Zs verse on "So Appalled" (because i've been studying Jay-Zs history and shit really carefully, so i know exactly what hes talking bout)

WHAT WE TALKIN' BOUT ;)

(btw, i TOTALLY get the sketch, its a really important part of the song tbh, i mean, its obviously meant to be funny, and it is, but it explains a lot of meaning behind the song as well, lol, i sound like a douchebag... LETS GIVE A TOAST TO PEOPLE LIKE ME)

Kakarookee · 2011-02-02, 17:05:54

am I the only person who would gladly throw Kanye West into a pit of lava so he never makes boring pretentious trash like this?

aidan_h · 2011-02-02, 17:26:30

lawl...

sixs · 2011-02-02, 18:28:52

gotta admit i've stopped listening to this album recently. i think i wore it out for myself

Skelefunk · 2011-02-02, 18:50:47

Don't really feel it. And I hate Blame Game. Probably something to do with friends calling it the 'album of the decade'...

yeah people properly raved about it like it was going to revolutionise music and change everything ever. just because Kanye believes himself to be the new Bono, doesn't mean you should buy into the hype.

sixs · 2011-02-02, 19:58:10

...eh?
