Barry Bonds is great. i think this album is meant to be a little more humorous than his last two. And obviously it went in a different direction, most of if not all of this was recorded in Japan and you can hear that influence in the lyrics and in the songs just as easily. "Bape shit." And that goofy ass japanese dude singing in the background of a couple songs. It's a different album for Kanye, but at least it's not the same old songs with random samples.zach.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13983851918215832896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616678322540755382.post-50911669995949067042007-09-25T14:29:00.000-05:002007-09-25T14:29:00.000-05:00no mention of Drunk and Hot Girls?hukriede i figur...no mention of Drunk and Hot Girls?<BR/>hukriede i figured that'd be your jam.zach.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13983851918215832896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616678322540755382.post-21828228311019717172007-09-20T01:09:00.000-05:002007-09-20T01:09:00.000-05:00The way I see it, an album that is relatively blan...The way I see it, an album that is relatively bland is deserving of a 4 or a 5. Kanye's new album, to me anyway, is only slightly better than that. Stand alone, it's not bad, but compared to other fairly-recent hip-hop albums like Clipse's "Hell Hath No Fury", Lil Wayne's "Dedication 2", anything by Dizzee Rascal, and West's "Late Registration", it really does seem as meek as my score indicates.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486271203019808650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616678322540755382.post-44671701771666569562007-09-20T01:03:00.000-05:002007-09-20T01:03:00.000-05:00yeah at first I wasn't really sure but then I list...yeah at first I wasn't really sure but then I listened to it some more and I liked the songs listed above. And wait you cant hate on Stronger, sweetest song ever. I really like Homecoming though, great track. I would agree it is his worst album but I think 5.8 is a little harsh. I'd go 7 or 7.5 at least. It was decent - fairly solid - but not out of this world.Muskie Mayhem.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15365950362497439291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616678322540755382.post-36998925371896696112007-09-19T17:38:00.000-05:002007-09-19T17:38:00.000-05:00I thought the album was solid, not great.

I thought "Good Morning", "Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Everything I Am", "Homecoming", "Champion" and "Good Life" were all solid tracks. It's definatly better than the vast majority of rap and hip hop albums out right now.KHookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317188733508154569noreply@blogger.com
