What people gotta understand is this theme for the album wasn't meant for The Throne to spit like lyrical geniuses. They kept to the theme..."Who #%@+#@# with us?" haha

This was kinda where I was going with my previous post...Ye' raps' just don't have that same soulful feel to it...
I see myself skipping some of these songs in the coming weeks too, the replay value just isn't there for me. MBDTF has plenty of replay value for me, but this...it's just missing some of that good ol' "Soul" that Ye' usually delivers...
When I listen to it, I get a sense that these guys are bigger then life..and in a way they are...but I mean, how many people can relate to that at every moment? It's cool to see the way Ye' has progressed though, from the College Dropout to this..but it's a bittersweet feelin..no pun intended...

"I'm going to be in the minority on this, but here goes..."
And that's exactly it.
People here mad that Jay/Ye ain't sound like Lupe on this album
Even LUPE HIMSELF is learning that when it comes to the mainstream, lyricism takes you so far - if your music sounds like trash to them, they ain't coppin.
IMO, There's plenty of meaningful introspection, wordplay, rhyming/flow (particularly from Jay) on WTT, and it's over nice production that's experimental instead of formulaic.
And that's exactly it.

QTF. Exactly my point. I mean, do I REALLY want to hear about how much better your life is than mine? Do I really want to hear about your black card, and where you vacationed last week? Do I really need to hear about the class of women that come your way?
And that's cool, but where's the wordplay? Where's the wit? Somehow, when it comes to Jay (Not really Jay, he was pretty good on this album) and Kanye, that gets lost. Sounded like average rappers to me, but then again, what do I know?

A quick listen and wow. This is something else.

First listen: Done.
9/10 for me off that listen. Only 2 tracks I'd skip in the foreseeable future (Lift Off and The Joy [only cause I listened to this song so many times when it first dropped]). The production is the best I've heard in a long, long time. Favorite songs right now are No Church in the Wild, N in Paris, and New Day.
Ugh, this album's gonna take up so much of my time for the next week or so.

I know it was The Dream on the first track! And
at Jay/Ye didn't spit like Lupe. Yeah cause you got all of Lupe's lines first listen. Read the booklet with the rhymes while listening than talk to me
