On a side note:

Am I the only person who is struggling to understand this sudden hype for the 070 Shake person?

Everywhere I go, people are like "Yo, 070 Shake murdered the end of Ghost Town", "This is like Nicki's verse on Monster, she's got next" etc.

I don't fukkin' get it.

After hearing Bobby Brown-jawed Cudi slur through his shyt she comes on and I'm tryna hear what everyone else is hearing but I can't.

Shake is dope to me, been dope, forgot she was even signed to Kante.

She kinda has the early Weeknd/junkie vibe but not as potent.

This is growing on me. Wouldn't Leave and Violent Crimes stay on rotation. Grown man shyt.
Same breh.
I openly shyt on this album on Friday but it kinda clicked for me tonight on my way home from work it reminds me of how much I hated dark fantasy at first and is now one of my fav albums ever. I came in expecting old Kanye (hyped from Daytona classic) and thought it was terrible but about 3 spins later I actually think it's raw as fukk. Just crazy bi polar Kanye putting it all out there and not giving a fukk:yeshrug:very catchy album too plus the short duration makes it more tolerable I would HATE a 30 min plus album of this but this kind of does the trick.

37 year old here too so definitely grown and more open to this type of rawness

After giving it some spins, it's clear to me that Kanye is still a fantastic producer with an incredible ear for music, but he's regressed so badly as a rapper that it's hard to listen to any of his shyt. And being bipolar shouldn't be an excuse for his garbage singing/rapping/moaning/ranting intro's and outro's, Azealia Banks is bipolar too and she has never let anything stand in her way of making some good ass music.

I agree that Kanye’s skills as a rapper has declined but comparing his recent stuff to any of that crazy broads music is going to far, doesn’t she make vouge music? :dame:

Yeah. Even before the MAGA drama, I've been losing interest in his solo work. He's just not the same on the mic. Production is solid though. I'm looking forward to the Nas album.
