I'm looking for ANY sort of reason. I was just scanning thru the Kanye album sticky at the top of the page, and I can't help to feel like I'mmissing something. I mean, dudes were talking about tearing up listening to certain songs, discussing how Kanye is a "true" artist, etc. Why am Inot seeing or hearing any of this? To be fair, I haven't listened to the whole album. I don't like the direction Kanye took, and I have only heard 3songs off the album (Robocop, Heartless, and Love Lockdown). It's not like I don't appreciate artists going in a new direction or experimenting with adifferent sound. I thoroughly enjoyed Common's "Electric Circus," Andre 3K's "The Love Below," and also the Gnarls Barkleyprojects. I really appreciate dudes being eclectic, but why can't I get into "808's and Heartbreak?" I'm not one to FORCE myself tobelieve someone is putting out good music. Honestly, that's the vibe I got from reading a lot of cats posts in the Kanye sticky. So, what am I missinghere? Kanye's other projects LR, Graduation, and CD are all incredible IMO. I remember hearing various cuts off of those albums before they dropped andreally anticipating the full project on the release date. I have no motivation to listen to the rest of his new album. Maybe I can be swayed...whoknows...I'm just curious as to why you enjoy it, and possibly I'll give it another try.
