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.
