I am listening to the album. It's refreshing.
And I like the cover. nikka put his family and seems happy. Maturity is coming.
I am 30+ and tired of the daytona/bling cover. If you're close to 40 and still rapp about drigs and hoes, you're retarded.

The Coli will hate this album but it's like Jay 4.44. People grow ups.

This shyt is trash the only thing redeemable about it is the production.

I don’t know how y’all can co-sign this bs just cuz he speaks about his mental illness when his flow is horrible and the message is drowned out with all of the other dumb outlandish shyt he says on here.

This is nothing but a condensed tlop

Kanye is surviving off of image and his influence.

The music ain't there and hasn't been for years IMO.

Nothing in her is even better than Real Friends :mjcry:

That's what happens when you piss off your best ghostwriters and believe you're a genius. Also a result of having a bunch of yes CACs and a pimped out wife with the brain of a 2 year old.

May Koonye career never recover. I'm happy black folks not checking for this . Some c00ns still listen but we don't want the black community to support this c00n and his plastic wife luxury lifestyle

Its alright but forgetable at the same time. Don't see this album lasting more than a month.

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Ye's never been the strongest lyricist and I think that's become more blatant and problematic as his sound goes more experimental and his mental state gets weirder and he tries to capture these ideas :francis:

The sounds of this album and some of the melodies here are really stunning tho :ahh: there's definitely never a dull moment :ehh:

I'm split so far on this, we'll see which side wins out for me :ld:

Blending the aesthetic of past production styles with trap-isms comes off like an odd appeal to a younger fanbase.

shyt is filled with Quips and no actual substance. Nothing to contextualize his c00n ass rollout or even his mental health issues or new outlook. Something he managed to do on MBDTF when he was being vilified by the media.

He'd be better off with a bunch of guest verses...Because he can't carry this shyt by himself.

It's underwhelming. The production is okay and that's only because we get glimpses of past projects.

Easily his weakest project to date.

I like the album it’s different def not lyrically the best Ye work. It’s not TLOP knee jerk lyrics either. I wish Kanye would tighten up the pen game because it feels like an unfinished project sometimes just filler lines to keep the songs going. Regardless I think it’s gonna be a dope liberating concert experience for Ye.
