172419, Uggghhhhh total mixed feelings. Also, here's my alt tracklist Posted by dro, Mon Feb-15-16 06:15 PM
No surprise, we're all talking about the Kanye album. I've always been a Kanye fan (.../defender...) but he makes it pretty hard here. But, there are still moments that are great. Is this what it feels like to be in an abusive relationship? Some bullet notes:
-Most misogynist thing he's done. Like, over the top. It's not usually a big consideration for me, I can look past the occasional quip, but some of this is ridiculous. Especially when you think "He has a beautiful wife! He has 2 kids!"
-Some of it sounds like "Kanye visits the trap." Or otherwise, not fresh. Young Thug doesn't need to be on here.
-How does he outshine Kendrick Lamar!!!
-The production is great
-It's bloated. A lot of unnecessary elements to songs (I love Frank Ocean, but Wolves doesn't need his outro), and some tracks are not carrying weight. Here's the playlist I put together and I'm enjoying it a lot more.
WAVES Producers: Kanye West and Dro
1. Ultralight Beam 2. Pt. 2 3. No More Parties in LA 4. Famous 5. I love Kanye 6. Real Friends 7. Wolves 8. All Day (Yes, an addition... I consider it part of the TLOP suite) 9. Silver Surfer Intermission 10. Waves 11. 30 Hours (Bonus Track) 12. Fade (Bonus Track)
This way its a more focused statement. +/- 45 mins. Try it.
