Agreed,just got the new wu-tang album 8 diagrams this is the realness.
To be honest not their best album.Maybe it wasn't a good idea to let RZA loose on this album.
Not as good as wu forever and 36 chambers but after a few listens it's really grown on me,tracks like rushing elephants and life changes are class imo.
Yeah agree with the tracks.But i was looking forward to this after many delays.Just a bit disapointed.Hopefully next time they will release a Wu Tang album rather than a RZA production.
Well I got it, the first 6 tracks + Homecoming are class, the rest though is a bit shit if I'm honest, maybe it'll grow on me, we'll see....
I won't hate on Kanye West, but tbh he doesnt count to the best rappers for me. Lyrically he surely got some skills but I dont like his flow and his attitude.
His old-school beats also dont sound really good to me, but still he got some real good music as well.

Flashing Lights is a great song
I've listened to it a bit more, and I think I was a bit harsh calling some of it shit. I stick to my original statement that the first 6 tracks + Homecoming are the best songs by far, but the rest isn't shit, it just isn't as good as the 7 tracks I've mentioned. On the whole it's a good album.
Kinell, this album has just grown and grown one me!
fecking love it now!!
fecking love it now!!
Not too long to go for "808's & Heartbreak"
Just heard 'Robocop' - am really feeling it...defo worth checking out.

When I first heard it, I hated it. Really wasn't impressed.
On the second listen I changed my mind, and now can't stop listening to it. Absoloutly love it. Quality stuff once again from Kanye.
Kanye sucks cock.
exactly the same...
Don't know about that. But for sure he's quite unlistenable.
His new album has leaked.
I like it. "Streets lights" is a very relaxing tune.

Gone downhillll since Late Registration. Will give this a listen though.
Just got round to buying the new one and its absolute quality for me, a different yet pretty unique style from him and an album that is definately amongst the top 10 for 08!
I agree, love this album.
Do you have a favourite track from it?
Usually i can always pick out a favourite from an album, but I could say any of the first 8 could be a favourite! thats rare from any album thesedays with me!
Paranoid, Heartless, Coldest Winter, RoboCop and Welcome To Heartbreak are all great songs. Theres not a bad one on the album, Street Lights is good too.
the best track didnt make the album as it didnt fit in with the theme look for kanye west feat N.A.S.A, Santogold and Lykee Li - Gifted reminds me of when he actually rapped properly
and if you want to hear good kanye look for 'keep the receipt' ft. ODB

Graduation. Although admitidly I could be talking about ANY one of his albums. They're all brilliant.
SouljaBoy - YOUUUUU!
SouljaBoy - YOUUUUU!
Kanye = Gay Fish
808 is interesting, but Graduation is probably his best.
Yeah, got to love his tune with Sean Kingston also.
808 is amazing. Totally different from his usual stuff.
SouljaBoy didn't strike me as your kind of music Simon.
College Dropout - Brilliant but raw, original but relevant, hits all avenues and styles, Classic album, 5/5
Late Registration - Finding a comfort zone, some flaws, beautiful production, good mood, 4/5
Graduation - Classic album, perfect on all aspects and the final product of Kanye, 5/5
808's - An evolution in writing, sound, uniqueness, quality, and creativity... hit/miss, but enjoyable, 4/5
Kanye so far imo

Quite different indeed.
Urm. I like all sorts of music really.
In a similar vein, the new Dizzee Rascal song (holiday), imo, is utter shite.
Agree with all this, although I really like 808.
Still.
I don't know if there's an album I can remember that grew so much... upon first listen it was "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and turn it off... now, I can safely say I dig more tunes on this album then Late Registration.
Yep.
If anyone manages to watch this vid of Kanye all the way through they have my full respect. This has to be the most butt-clenchingly, embarrassingly shite live effort ever...
That video doesn't sound bad at all.
I think everything he does is class. Power is a great song.
I can't wait for is new album, he's got alot to say and people to adress
The best part:
'They say I was the obamanation of Obama’s nation
Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation'
