they announced a show in denver and then cancelled it, no way i am buying this TWICE. I'll cop the deluxe when its out there physically.
I'm on track one right now. hope it lives up to its royal throne.

I had to preview the entire thing on youtube...

* Kanye is definitely the better rapper here.
* Anybody who is gonna be on some "all they talk about is how much money they got and how much better they are than everyone" clearly didn't listen to the album or just came to hate
* What the fuck is Jay-Z thinking with some of these flows?
* The Neptunes track is probably my favorite after my first listen and the first song I went back too, however if I hadn't heard "That's My Bitch" a million times already that probably would have been my favorite.
* I liked the first Frank Ocean chorus, the second one was kinda meh.
* As expected, the Beyonce song is not enjoyable and probably the worst on the album.
* Kanye murders the first half of "Murder".
* The Swizz Beatz joint I was surprised to like. Luckily he ain't yelling over the whole thing.

Not gonna give it a star rating. Can't wait to listen to this on the ride to work tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be playing it for a while, though.

Stans gonna love it. Haters gonna hate. I really enjoyed it though.

Although I'm not sure I would go so far as to say that I "really enjoyed it". the good songs are REALLY good, but the album overall is "whatever"

or anyone else that isn't as top 40 or has a mostly female demographic then everyone would've been digging it. I like the production

besides the beat, beyonce is actually the least wack thing on that song.

kanye? wack
jay-z? even wacker

I really enjoy the end of the track when the beat switches up...wish the song was better overall though

Please...already got inboxed, but that link seems to be broke.

" this nigga Dr. Dre took so long working on DETOX that niggas in his click and niggas that are potentially on his album are dyin of old age, RIP to Nate Dogg tho"

it chases down 'who gon stop me' well.

wasn't really feeling that dub step, but murder to excellence... damn!

The itunes original, the itunes deluxe, and this other one.
What's official? Which do ya'll got?

EDIT: nvm, the 'other' tracklisting was just mistyped it seems.

--

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

man i wish "Gotta Have It" was longer that track bumps. Gotta give it a couple more listens to fully judge but there are def some good joints on this. Illest Motherfucker Alive and Primetime shoulda been on the official tracklisting but oh well. Hova and Ye are game changers regardless. Production outshines the lyrics (they both spittin real shit on New Day though), but imo this was to be expected.

- the Beyonce song doesn't bother me nearly as much as most people, it seems. I don't know if I would have placed it where they did.

- Not feeling the Neptunes joint. Pharrell has been hit and miss for me for a while now, and I've been in a state of denial a bit.

- I don't hear any track jump out at me that says "SMASH HIT!" Now, of course there will be hits on here cuz it's Jay and Ye but something the size of "Empire State of Mind" or even "Stronger" or "Love Lockdown"

- The energy of "Niggas In Paris" is jaw dropping.

- Hov's verse on "New Day" is among the best he's spit in years, but I bet no one else thinks so. I think I most like a different Jay-Z than most people.

- This truly is the star making event for Frank Ocean. I realize it's no longer cool to talk about how ill dude is, but he kills his appearances.

- the beat on "Primetime" is some Blueprint 2/2003 Kanye West mixtape ish. No I.D. got busy.

I feel like if there were to a video to go with it, it would just be a mob of people rioting through the street.

^^mute the video, start playing it when the Will Ferrell clip finishes.

For a track with such a menacing beat, and a pretty aggressive flow from Jay, he kinda spit some half laid back shit. Something like "Put On"-energy would be ill.

This RZA beat is tough. Hov held his own on this Kanye is in rare form.

That's the sort of greatness we all anticipated when we first heard this project announced

Was somewhat expecting to be disappointed due the immense hype and me not liking HAM at all, but this is definitely one of the best releases this year.

And DAT CASSIUS SAMPLE on Why I Love You.

Them niggas tried too hard and failed... it will only sell off their names.

When we revisit this money grab routine 6 months from now u will all have all gotton your heads out of your ass.

It's really sad tho cause Kanye needs to shake Jay's dusty ass off his coattails.... This nigga jay like Shaq past his prime, just stealing money from the industry at this point.

I agree...What are they listening too cause the copy I have is wack damn near all the way thru...LOL

I didn't listen that attentively, but I had to listen to that one twice. So, so far, it's aiight. Murder to Excellence was really dope and a few tracks I wasn't really feeling. I'll have to give it a more focused listen before I develop a real opinion.

No way! You gotta drop opinions like definitive ideas after a half-listen! You know you're online right? Haha..here goes...

No Chuuuch..'Rubbin the wood like Kiki Shepherd'...oh shit...

That leaked 10-minute video had me thinking Lift Off was gonna be the greatest song ever then both cats decided to not even rap on the damn thing. Its like they got caught up and Bey took the song from them..her part IS nice. 'How many niggas with me up in this biatch!?'..who sings that? Kanye..that's who. That's gonna be awesome at a show. Oh, that last 30 seconds is jamming as shit..Jay shoulda rapped over THAT part.

Niggas in Paris..harshly jamming! This is like classic Louisiana music. Its funny how much some cats flow like Master P did on his hardest stuff. What the hell is Wayne gonna do with that Carter 4 if his album's production isn't good like this?

The James Brown throughout so far..smart people involved with the music leads to good things.

I like Otis. Still.

Gotta Have It..even nicer. The whole album is worth it just for this. They KNEW this was jamming. This and Niggas in Paris...these should be the 'its about to be on' songs at the club before they play the more clubby stuff.

I want to go to sleep but shit, New Day is the best song on this thing so far and I was already pleased. 'Me and the RZA connect!' Fuckin right ya'll did. I hear this as the So Appalled replacement. Well X 3. I like RZA's involvement with Kanye's music. It should be happening. Jay is dope..niggas must be crazy.

Kanye is spazzing on this album. I hadn't listened to that's my bitch in forever. Charlie Wilson...ahhhh...its like he went from being on every Good Friday song to being damn near absent on Fantasy.

Ahhh...Swizz..nice.

WHOA @ first half of Who Gon Stop Me! Its wild that Rawse has become damn near necessary for certain songs. Him coming through on the first part of this would've been curtains after the first grunt..haha.

I gotta stop looking at the booklet. I'm jumping ahead on the lyrics..Murder to Excellence..wow..Diamonds 2. Ahh...Prodigy quotery..HNIC fo sho. Folks must be tired of JayZ's dopeness or something because I swear this cat is rapping thick and husky all over this album. He killed Murder multiple times. Nigga flowed with the sound of spraying cologne as the start-up rhyme..sickly.

I feel like Ye prolly wanted to sing all of the Frank Ocean parts. I'm happy he didn't..haha..Ocean did good work on this here. Made in America is nice too.

Why I Love You is like Power 2..Jay spazzed. Kanye knew to let it go after Jay murked another song. A lot of this sounds like Jay's Say Hello flow updated. This is a good enough time to say the music on most of this is fuckin super..like cape on, flying, carrying a random chick, S on the chest super.

So...I'm getting Pootie Pang'd on Illest Motherf**cker Alive right now..straight silence! I can't say silence is jammin! Got me opening iTunes trying to make sure things are good. @ 3 minutes here we go. If they rap over this after having it as a lude that would be too dope. They wouldn't be THAT dope, right? Awww...they should've rapped over that. Ohhh..Go Hard/Ham 2 = Illest Motherfucker Alive. Ye is Rawsing it bigtime, but its still dope.

Overall, the album sounds like:

- 1 part current/Rawse/Wayne/Khalid songs with better/more advanced music..

- 1 part the album that I'd assume folks wanted to hear..New Day (!), Otis, Gotta Have it, Primetime, That's My Bitch..

- 1 part 'epic' interludes and parts where the music sounds 'special'.

I expect for there to be a slew of hate for this when people listen to it and don't grow another ear or feel like they've heard an absolutely new set of sounds...

I'll say these things after one full skip-less listen (no repeats):

- This could have gone REALLY wrong, but the effort was clearly there and I'm happy with the result. I'm honestly surprised at how good the good stuff is. I should realize by now that Kanye is rarely going to make something that I don't end up liking/loving.

- There's a gang of dope rapping on this album from both cats..I'm happy about that. Don't let folks lie to you and tell you otherwise.

- The album got and stayed dark in spots so its not as glossy as some folks are saying. I mean that in subject matter and the fact that there's clearly 'black people' comments and moments throughout.

- New Day..wow. RZA is still the shit. Ye and Jay went the fuck in on that song. I'll be riding to work on that song for 20 minutes.

- Again..some of the production is insane, and I actually expect it to grow on me after some fly-around listens.

Soapbox (with cussing):

Its dope that this thing didn't leak. Yeah, I said it. Every wack no-music loving muthafucka with a internet connection having a cat's album 3 weeks before its supposed drop is some bullshit. Its fucks up everything when a gang of folks already DON'T APPRECIATE SHIT. It makes them worse. It makes them feel even more entitled to spend more energy hating than they did to listen to the damn music in the firs place. Hell, there's always something else to get for free, half-listen to, and casually hate on. Fuck those folks. I'm happy about almost everyone having to wait for a change. I'm happy about waking up, rolling off of the couch at 1 AM, downloading this legit and having the booklet open on one screen and this window open on the other while I listened. Me liking the album prolly helps too.
