...and if you guys were expecting some radio-ready jams for your hot and heavy summer... well...
It is pretty epic though. Kanye finally said "fuck the radio" and started making the music he wanted to make. It's extremely experimental as far as rap music goes. Nothing mainstream sounds like this right now, but then again nothing mainstream sounded like My Twisted Dark Fantasy, or 808s either until a year or so after it came out, so I don't know what I was expecting. If this is what's on hip-hop radio next year I'm all for it.
Post script: Is it possible for a song to be my favorite and least favorite song on the album simultaneously? Fuck yeah it is when you're talking about Kanye West.
Best songs: Black Skinhead, Hold My Liquor, Blood On The Leaves, Send It Up
Worst songs: Blood on The Leaves, I'm In It Bound 2 (shit quality vocals. It's like bro.. you're worth in excess of $100 million and you can't pay for good quality production? YOU'RE A FUCKING PRODUCER. It sucks because it's such an epic beat. I'm sure he must have thought it made him seem rustic or something...)
1 On Sight: n/a /10
2. Black Skinhead 10/10
3. I Am A God 8/10
4. New Slaves 9/10
5. Hold My Liquor 10/10
6. I'm In It 6/10
7. Blood On The Leaves 7/10
8. Guilt Trip 8/10
9. Send It Up 10/10
10. Bound 2 6/10
