I know there's a handful of review videos out there already, I just like the way this person has reviewed previous albums from several artists.
He just posted it, haven't even watched it myself so we'll see if I agree with him.
dunno if I agree with the score.

It's in the same light as not being able to objectively give an opinion that is slightly not in favor with the majority. It's one of the best rap albums this year, what does that mean? Is that hard to do in this day and age? You put 2 legends on a compact disc....it better be one of the best rap albums this year.Originally Posted by Rolaholic

How is it that Jay can put out The Black Album, and Ye can put out Late Registration, yet when they join together they made a Teflon Don meets Adventures of Bobby Ray hybrid album?
But w/e it's Jay and Ye....and they can do no wrong on anything they put out, and everything is a classic so
btw I do enjoy the album...just pointing out that, the hype is suffocating.

,you're joking right?
And of course this album isn't perfect but it's one of the best rap albums this year.
The same way some people already made up their mind that they were gonna love the album before it even came out,other people made up their mind that they weren't gonna like it.at both

Cosign on this review. Joint was SUPER on point, though I'd definitely rate WTT higher than a 5 out of 10. I'd say a 7 or 8 out of 10.

Brilliant take. Truthfully the greatest marketing scheme in hip hop history was The Black Album, the way Jay repetitively beat it into our heads that he is the best, and it worked like a charm. It created this "Jay can do no wrong". And now with this album and the way 'Ye has been rapping for the last 2-3 years, Ye is following that same path. And I honestly do not blame these guys, they now have that untouchable status and will forever be shipped platinum no matter what. And are able to charge concert tickets at no less than $120 a piece (BTW Chicago heads I will be attending the concert with a bottle of Henney stashed away, come holler at me.)

No problem, hope that helped.
