One hand in the air, like you don't really care; two hands in the air like you don't really care; it's like that sometimes, man, ridiculous; it's like that sometimes, ridiculous.
I'm sorry, but that's not hot.
Neither is that "blank and religious is all I need" track or the "Iran" sample (yes I know "Iran" took it from the same place Kanye took it, but everybody heard "Iran"...how are you gonna use it too). I'm just trying to keep this discussion balanced. Not everybody likes this record.
And I don't see this as growth. Most of these tracks you could have thrown on Graduation or 808's and nobody would say they stood out like they didn't belong. A lot of the production is just low-budget for Kanye, like he really put the songs together in 1 week for G.O.O.D. Friday, with a few exceptions of course. I'm not going to act like I don't think Power, Runaway, Monster, and All of the Lights are fire. But on a real Kanye album, there would be songs better than those. I just hope his next record is worth the acclaim it will probably get no matter what the quality is.
