He definitely needs to come out to Toronto, and probably will. And while he's at it, Drake and J. Cole should cross their tour on the same date and make a megashow.

I actually love the fergie part in AOTL, especially when that bass kicks in heavy

Its grown on me but...

cmon son, the song would've been better without Fergie's raps. The transition to the Rihanna bit makes it worthwhile.

I just heard "That's my Bitch" and it's great. How did that not make the album?

I guess there's not much there in terms of lyrics, but that's not bothering me.

Did rhymefest ghostwrite Kanye's verses on "Gorgeous"? His flow and delivery is so much different than the rest of the album. It almost sounds robotic, as if he was reading the lyrics before rapping them.

edit: Sorry if this has been asked/stated/revealed earlier :lol

Kanye doesn't need rhymefest to ghostwrite his shit :lol


...Kanye has helped both Pusha and Nicki Minaj write their verses. He knows how to switch up his flow, and he knows how to write for different rapping styles.

I had to double check your user name because I thought for sure you were PhoenixDark based on your post.

Would be INSTANTLY better.

25 Best Kanye Verses of 2010

Next year, ‘Ye will release Watch The Throne, a joint LP with Jay-Z. Half a decade ago, critics would have questioned his ability to rap alongside Hov for an entire abum, but ‘Ye has come a long way from pushing miracle whips. There’s no better proof than his musical output this year, where he rapped like a motherfucking monster on every song he was on.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Ye is one of my favourite lyricists. Not the most technically skilled/conscientious/cream of the crop, but one of my favourites.

Power Remix 3rd Verse is too low.
Deuces Remix is too low
Blame Game verse is too low
CDDF, Hell of a Life, Power are top 10, which is good.
Start It Up is too low.

5. So Appalled Verse
4. Devil In A New Dress (2nd Verse)
3. Monster Verse
2. Dark Fantasy (1st Verse)
1. Gorgeous (3rd Verse)

Discuss. In before PhoenixDark.

Double post, but CDQ Final version of Christmas In Harlem is out. Vado verse makes it listening to, as he kills everyone else on the track.

And that's the end of G.O.O.D. Friday tracks I assume.

It bugs me on kanye's verse on so appalled I've seen this lyric misquoted a couple times now:

That's why another goddamn dance track gotta hurt
That's why I rather spit somethin that gotta purp

for this:

That’s why I never gawd damn dance track, gotta hurt
That’s why I rather spit something that gotta perch

the second set don't even make sense. maybe thats nitpicking...

you speak so well
Christmas in Harlem is available on iTunes now, but it's a shortened 4 minute version - only CyHi and Teyana Taylor, no other guests. Odd.

Thanks for the link, I went through the entire thing. It amazes me people still discount Kanye as a lyricist. I don't think his flow is amazing but his lyrics are underrated in my opinion.

RZA thought the same thing when they were recording and Kanye had to correct him.

Different definitions of lyricist I guess. If Ye can evoke emotion and still do some clever wordplay while he's at it, I count him as a good lyricist. He has his downs for all of his ups, but so does every lyricist.

And I would say his flow is pretty amazing on songs like Monster and So Appalled, and even say Blame Game. Shit is, fucking ridiculous.

Can't stop listening to this album. I think Kanye's a good lyricist. His verses don't necessarily have the same complexity (rhymes within rhymes within rhymes etc.) of, for example, an Eminem, but his rhymes are very clever. All IMO, of course.

I find it really weird that he basically just disappeared. Shouldnt an artist promote the album after it releases too? :lol Where the fuck is the next single?
