It's a good album. To call this shyt "flawless" is laughable.

Absolutely. I've been rockin with Ye forever, I really appreciate and vale his progressive approach to music. Yeezus isn't a hip hop record. There aren't really lyrics to me, just texture. The writing approach was like he just took a single emotion and sort of personified that on the track. Lust, regret, guilt, anger, attitude, whatever. The production is next level. A bit rushed but overall a great album.

I remember your long post on here. It was a good depiction of why he's a hypocrit, but as I said in that thread, we've known that since album 1 and it only makes him a more interesting artist.

An album like that is meant to ruffle feathers. The Coli would hate it, it's only right, the same dude waiting on the new Alchemist album is posting on here is not going to want it. They wanna rock with something familiar. They don't want to be surprised like I do. That's how I get my thrills with this music shyt.

:childplease:

I don't mind being surprised, just don't surprise me with shytty music/raps.

Anyway...I kinda side-eyed the whole "best of the decade" shyt til I realized we just now starting off, and 2k10's haven't really been all that great. I like the album on first listen, don't LOVE it but then again I haven't really given it much of a front to back spin, I've been skipping around and getting stuck on my favorite tracksk and i'm content with that until the festivities/activities die down and I can really sit back and smoke to this.

If this can knock A.E. out of rotation it's official, we'll see. I'm not seeing this "lyrically garbage" shyt that people are saying, but he's definitely coasting somewhat, which is what some of these beats call for. You can only get so intricate over some of this production.

Find a glaring hole

Album has several holes but it doesn't even make sense for me to point them out to you because you're obviously delusional. No way would any objective avid hip hop listener calls this album "flawless".
