[The Notorious LOL]

pretty fucking ill.

[Kid Presentable]

How ill exactly?

[Mcmac]

has it leaked?

[Kid Presentable]

has it leaked?

Yeah, discharge is often a sign of illness. :cool:

[Mcmac]

...

it was realeased aug 16 but on the site says it will be out aug 30 :confused:

[hotzappa11]

its only 9 tracks but they are all quite long.

[pshabi]

pretty fucking ill.
Speak!

Where can this be had?

[The Notorious LOL]

in your local store on august 30th!!!!!!!!!!


I dunno check the usual download spots. It leaked yesterday so it'll be all over the net in a day or so.

[ms.peachy]

Got a five star review in today's Guardian Friday Review section, and they don't just give those away for nothin'.

[hotzappa11]

It has 13 tracks but the one i downloaded had 9, what a jip. I'll be buying it anyway especially for Diamonds.

[cj hood]

he already has 2 vids out for it.........i think 'college dropout' was the best hiphop album since 'ready to die'........

[adam_f]

I can't stand Jamie Foxx on 'Gold Digger' but I'll still buy the damn thing. 'College Dropout' was the second best album of 04.

[beastieangel01]

someone share with me? :)

[adam_f]

Go find one, Priscilla.

[The Notorious LOL]

now dont get me wrong, I think Kanye West should refer to himself as "The Homosexual MC" and I find him to have one of the most obnoxious personalities of any musician out there...but this is a pretty good record minus having douchebags like The Maroon 5 guy, Jamie Foxx, and Common on it. Needs more Jay, Paul Wall, Game, and Cam'ron.

[CrankItUp!]

Snoop Dogg is the number one player besides Ice T in my book. :cool:

[Extra Cheese]

its just as bad as his first one.

[So Ruff]

Gold Digger is good stuff.

I'm gonna run out and get the new album the day it comes out. Been a while since I've done that.

Does the ODB album come out the same day, or am I mistaken?

[Mr Films]

i just bought Common's "Be" to hold over my Kanye fix til the 30th

i love K West and aint afraid to tell it.

i think he's the best thing that's happened to rap in a long time.

[Gareth]

cam's verse on 'gone' is both stupid and good.

[Sandinista!]

Too bad his newness makes him not worth a fuck.

[adam_f]

It would be nice if he would produce a song without a sample though.

[SobaViolence]

HAHAHAHAH!



yeah, right. like that will happen anytime soon

[mickill]

Other producers that have yet to produce songs without the use of samples:

Marley Marl
Premier
Large Professor
Prince Paul

[pshabi]

It would be nice if he would produce a song without a sample though.
Sampling is the doo doo.

Anyway, on that Nick Cannon wildn out they did a bit where they were cuttin on Kanye and one guy spit a rhyme with something to that effect.

[Dr Deaf]

I can't stand Jamie Foxx on 'Gold Digger' but I'll still buy the damn thing. 'College Dropout' was the second best album of 04.

i think foxx makes this track complete. i really like the sound of it. i'm sure i'll get sick of it in a few weeks.

[roosta]

aye, its a solid lp.

[Brass_Munkey]

"Now all I need is y’all to pronounce my name

This thread actually says Kayne.

Dude you would rather listen to game and Cam'ron of COMMON??? come on now

[adam_f]

I'm guessing you mean "or COMMON." And yes, Common is a much better mc than Kanye. 'Like Water For Chocolate' is a classic.

[roosta]

common is a good mc, but he's kinda boring.

i think kanye is inspired, some of his stuff is pretty inventive

and cam'ron?

he's that crack, son

[Monsieur Decuts]

this album is nothing special.

really.

crack music? come on what's that shit.

how do you colab with mauroon five and then sing about crack.

o that's right its called selling out.

[Gareth]

why would it be good if he made a tune without samples?

[Mr Films]

how is that selling out?

Kanye has been as mainstream as it gets from the start.

That show is pretty hilarious..

The rhyme you were speaking of went something like this...

My hair without a perm is an example

But what you need to do is try to do a song without a sample

[Monsieur Decuts]

Kanye has been as mainstream as it gets from the start.

sure has been.

[So Ruff]

common is a good mc, but he's kinda boring.

agreed. to be honest, I wasn't feeling BE all that much. Corners was maximum false-advertising; the only other track on there that was anything like it was Chi-City. Most of the "soul" tracks were kind of boring to me, but The Food, Love Is, and Faithful were pretty cool.

[laserx54]

this sucks


"gold diggers" was a wise choice for a single, but otherwise this album is feces

[g-mile7]

he's very talented anybody who saids otherwise need there heads checked



and he's a pretty good artist too

[g-mile7]

i think foxx makes this track complete. i really like the sound of it. i'm sure i'll get sick of it in a few weeks.




I think so too, it just makes it that much more soulful

[adam_f]

It probably has something to do with my unexplainable hatred of Jamie Foxx. I just can't stand the guy.

I'll take John Legend over Jamie Foxx any day of the week.

[monkey]

i wish kanye would stick to producing. his voice makes me want to rip out his vocal cords and feed them to cows.

[Auton]

agreed

[g-mile7]

damn people know they picky

[SobaViolence]

'gold digger' is fucking aces.


and yes, he will leave your ass for a white girl...

[Gareth]

oh...by the way, the advance of david banner's new album is floating around

its got case on it.
you know that slow touch me tease me ill na na shit.

[g-mile7]

'gold digger' is fucking aces.


and yes, he will leave your ass for a white girl...


hahahaha

[adam_f]

The 'Diamonds' video still confuses me. Because he ran the car into the jewelry shop that means the kids are set free?

[Auton]

damn people know they picky

what? his voice is annoying

[g-mile7]

what? his voice is annoying


but isnt hip-hop about *in underground nerd/stoner voice* the lyrics man??

[g-mile7]

damn I guess thats what it means then hahahaha I didnt know either. But that makes sense

[monkey]

but isnt hip-hop about *in underground nerd/stoner voice* the lyrics man??

the lyrics can be great, but if the voice is as annoying as kanye's... it's not even worth it. he might as well be reciting the alphabet in russian.

[Auton]

seriously.

[adam_f]

I'd rather listen to Kanye than hear Andre 3000 attempt to sing.

[g-mile7]

true. I just dont find his voice that bad but I can see where y'all could have porblems with it (some songs he sounds nasaly and kind of whinny)

[adam_f]

I'd rather listen to Busta Rhymes sing Gospel than listen to Andre sing 'Prototype.' Terrible singer, great mc.

[Auton]

haha (y) that one was meant just for me wasn't it? West isn't a bad rapper.. i just don't like his voice. I can understand how people wouldn't like 3000's voice, the critics who didn't like the love below disliked it for that reason.

[Mr Films]

hate all you want, but i think K West is the best thing to come along for any music genre in a long time.

6 days, fuckos!

[cj hood]

i stand by my original statement.......but i could see how KW the person could be annoying.....

[Darko]

The guy from Maroon 5 is on one of the songs. And yet, I don't hate him on it. That's a testament to Kanye's talent.

[adam_f]

I did like 'Roses'

[beastieangel01]

I finally scored a copy, and I only gave it a listen over once.

So far, I am only getting in to one song :/

So you're saying it's not that great. Interesting.

[g-mile7]

Im hyped too but what the F' is Paul Wall doin on a track???Surely this cant be real

[Mr Films]

he is the undisputed king of the parking lot.

[beastieangel01]

So you're saying it's not that great. Interesting.

upon my first and only listen thus far... nothing has blown me away.

[So Ruff]

I have no problems with Kanye West's voice. He sounds fine to me. Now Freeway, his voice kinda gets on my nerves. I like how Late Registration has the track with Nas (probably on purpose) right after the Diamonds remix with Jay-Z.

[adam_f]

I can't stand Nas' voice. There, it's said.

[p-branez]

i just listened to college dropout the other day and realized how good it is.

it's kanye, i'm sure this will be good too.

[Mr Films]

Damn, Rolling Stone gave it 5 stars.

oh wait, but wait everyone. before you even say anything, let me fill in the blanks:

"Rolling Stone sucks"

"They don't know shit"

"Kanye West is crap"

anyways, I can't can't can't fucking wait til Tuesday.

[Mcmac]

ive got it....pretty shit..only a few good tracks..not as good as the last one by far

[pshabi]

If you don't wanna wait, you can download it here for $1.53.

http://www.mp3search.ru/album.html?id=32610


On another note, has anyone else heard this:

http://www.mp3search.ru/album.html?id=31030

I got it from the hub yesterday. "Home" is the hot music, the hot music. Some other good tracks too.

[pshabi]

Correction:

You can now download it from my hub file list.

[beastieangel01]

ive got it....pretty shit..only a few good tracks..not as good as the last one by far

I'm glad someone else isn't pissing themselves over it. My bf and I listened and ended up skipping through many of the songs :/

Amen. Gold Digger made me a believer, I'll be damned if this doesn't top College Dropout. And I'm sure it will.

[EN[i]GMA]

After all the fellating, I've decided to download it.

It better not blow.

[Mcmac]

I'm glad someone else isn't pissing themselves over it. My bf and I listened and ended up skipping through many of the songs :/

yeah...everyone is just saying they like it coz they probably expected to like it....diamonds is a dope song but most of the album is filla...more diamonds less all the other shit on that album...oh and the song wack niggaz by him and talib kweli is dope i got that shit off the talib kweli and freinds ep

[adam_f]

I'm going to buy it tomorrow because I'm not cool enough to have it already. It took me awhile to like College Dropout, so I'm not expecting much right away.

[g-mile7]

he is the undisputed king of the parking lot.

hahahhahha (y) (y)

[cerveza]

this is a pretty good record minus having douchebags like Jamie Foxx.


jamie foxx is THE MAN.

[Hello_nasty]

I bought it today, doesn't seem that amazing so far. But it's a lot better than most of the rubbish coming out nowadays...

[Mr_Complex]

I think it's better than The College Dropout.

[Mr Films]

I bought it today, doesn't seem that amazing so far. But it's a lot better than most of the rubbish coming out nowadays...

I actually thought the same thing but the more I listen the better it seems to get.

I think I was surprised to hear how mellow a lot of it is.

however, I think it makes "college dropout" sound like a mixtape.

how so?

[Mr Films]

how so?

this record seems more focused, like there's this definite feeling to the whole album.

whereas "dropout" can go from 'Jesus Walks' to 'Get 'em High' (not back to back, I know)

i just think 'dropout' sounds like a bunch of tracks Kanye assembled randomly and this feels like he made an album .

i love em both either way.

ok thought so, more of a album with the same sounds and what not it's just more concise, cool Im getting it today

[BroomHead]

Other producers that have yet to produce songs without the use of samples:

Marley Marl
Premier
Large Professor
Prince Paul

Hey are you sure about Prince Paul? Have you heard "Politics of The Business"? I'm pretty sure the whole record is straight up and down sampleless. I know there's at least a song on there that doesn't have a sample.

[So Ruff]

Just bought the CD a half hour ago, and I just popped it in the ol' CD player. Track 2, and so far, so good.

[Mary-Kate]

I like Gold Digger and Diamonds, I might think of picking it up.

[adam_f]

It's pretty good. 'Her nickname is Minivan' is the funniest line I've heard in any song in a long time.

And that, is the greatest review ever written, anywhere, ever.

[So Ruff]

I'm listening to it a second time through now. I think it's gonna take me a few more listens for the whole album to really sink in, like with College Dropout.

Nas' verse on We Major is tight. Cam'ron comes nice on Gone.

[pshabi]

The track "Home" off of Freshmen Adjustment is better than any track on the new album.

[Mr Films]

the more i listen, the more this album incinerates college dropout and i fucking love college dropout.

the record is so musically full it's amazing.

kinda makes me think about back when dre called the "upcoming" detox album as being the most musically advanced rap album ever.....or some bullshit like that.

dre will be hard pressed to match late registration's innovation.

[roosta]

dre will be hardpressed to pull his finger from his hole in the next 12 months

then again, he doesn't have to, someone else will produce it for him ;)

God damn!!! Films is on board with the avy and everything!!!! Shit!!!

I was fist in line for College Dropout and I really like it. At 1 1/2 listens to the new shit I'm not crazy yet. It will grow on me, I'm sure.

Gonna play a bit of poker and give it another listen.

[yankeefan21]

Really? I thought TCD was very nice in the way it flowed, like the album really went together, not random song, but more because it flowed from one aspect of Kanye's life to another, quite well I thought.

I am kinda sad it's so mellow, I love the bumpin tracks on this album, so fun...Gold Digger, Touch The Sky, Gone, Diamonds. But the mellow songs are excellent too. Drive Slow is a masterpiece.

[Darko]

Addiction and Roses are some of my favourite tracks on the album. They're much darker, and the production on them is top notch.

[BroomHead]

Drive Slow is a masterpiece.
Except Paul Wall has a verse.

[Mr Films]

"Gone" is my current fav.

the only one I'm not feelin is Common's- almost like it never takes off and isn't even given the chance to.

[pshabi]

2nd listen last night.

Pure gold.

[g-mile7]

Except Paul Wall has a verse.

and that sample has been used before "Shorty Wanna Be a Thug" by 2pac from All Eyez on Me, I'm a fan of both though but I just dont like the same sample (at least when it's notciable) used twice (ie Keisyha cole uses the same sample that Just Blaze used for Song Cry on here new cd)

I thought Paul Wall came tight though...I'm impressed he definately kept his street cred hahaha *You see them 4's crawlin, you see them screens fallin
The disco ball in my mouth insinuates I'm ballin*

damn lol

[g-mile7]

the songs on this lp are like Mr. Films said more moody/darker in tone but we also must remember that Jon Brion also helped so his influnece must have really impacted Kanye. HEard Em Say is a very beautiful song indeed that incorpated both Adam Levine and the instrumental very well. Just Blaze came tight on Touch the Sky as well with the Lupe cat come nice on his verse as well, I like when Kanye story tells bout his struggle to make into the game. Gold Digger has been disccused. The Skits are way better and more funny, and true, on this lp too. Drive Slow is a great track but like I said just sucks that Jonny J, who produced alot of 2pac's music and that song for All Eyez on Me, might not be given credit for using that sample first, but Kanye used it properly though.

My Way Home, like mentioned, wasnt allowed to take off like it could too short but Common kills it.Crack Music was done exceptionally well I love the key changes/breakdown with one of the singers ( either Charlie Wilson or Penfire) singing. Roses was a very soulful track, insightful story telling about his grandmaz, very visual. Even though bring me down was musically one of the best songs on the lp, I just dont like Brandy on the hook, should have put A.Keys but thats just me. Addiction is suprisingly very dark, airy it definately has a "bout to get it on" sound to it. I also like how Kanye switched his style, in terms of rapping, on that song he rides the beat great. Diamonds remix his verse to me is so-so, it just doesnt sound like it works on the remix but Jigga came good up untill he started self-hyping the Roc. Pretty clever, wheter intentional or not, to have Nas/Jay-Z have back to back tracks, but Nas came tight with his verse, speaking on his contrdictions and basically summing up his whole carrer in one verse.

Hey Mama was a good song I just wasnt feeling the beat to this though, but the lyrics are real, I dig that and his singing isnt that bad (he's at least in tone unlike 50).Celebration is very video game sounding, like early Sonic or something, I dont know why but I always loved songs like that, and he comes clever with the lyrics, and John Legend kills it. The fact that alot of instrumentation is live is very impreesive as well. Gone is a strong ending even made Killa Cam sound right, and excellent use of Otis Reddings sample. My favorite track though, so far, is Feel Like which gives me the feeling of just driving round in the late night or something. Most the songs really give you an idea of how the video could look like, which can be contributed to the sample and how he used them

I think with this lp he tried to show that he could advance in terms of production, casue even though his rapping has improved (such lyrical songs as Feel Like, Touch the Sky, Addiction) his musical skills have jumped by leaps and bounds, meaning this doesnt sound like sterotypical Kanye West produced songs . This was more showcasing his musical skills, while TCD was more his rapping. The one thing that sticks out is how not one song really sticks out. When I think TCD, like MR. Films said, theres som songs that dont go and some that do, all the songs on Late Reg. sound like they belong on this lp, even if they dont match lyrically the music matches. And wheter this is a bad or good, there isnt a Jesus Walks, Two Words, Spaceship song that stands out becasue songs like BReathe In Breathe Out, Workout Plan force them up front more. Theres no contrast.

This is a great CD I think, I give him props, they'll be haters and shit but fuck em, this dude CD, musically if anything, is better then the majority of mainstream coming out. Its like them wannabe underground/ture hip-hop heads want, a CD thats unique and diffrent then the norm which it is. Lets see they still attack like the hypocrites they are. This might worthy of the 4 stars out of 4 they given it(when compared to College Dropout and the hype this LP gave Late Reg.), at least 3 1/2 when compared to the other rap lp's coming




just found these 2 tracks off the Japan import, sucks he should have put this on his LP, damn these tracks are fire Commons verse is the same as off of the Corners remix.

[beastieangel01]

basically, with the whole "hating" thing I think some people around here know me well enough that I am not hating, I am just stating what I feel to be fact :p

Anyway, my BIGGEST problem with this album is that he has simply ran out of things to say. There is little energy, there's little to no commentary, and very little to no humor. There are rhymes that literally made me CRINGE on this album. The part about signing t-shirts, and bitch are you smoking reefer? Come on now. Also, about his children or whatever also having his PHD, pretty huge dick... okay, I get it, you have a PHD, moving on....

YES it is generally better than other mainstream hip hop out there right now, but that doesn't mean it's a SOLID album. I'm not one to blow my horn and say I only listen to underground or whatever, because I don't, I listen to things underground and mainstream.

I guess if College Dropout never came out and I heard this album instead, I would think it's generally okay. But as far as being an album from the same guy who did College Dropout? It was a huge disappointment.

[adam_f]

'This week he moppin floors next week it's the fries' Funnier than anything on College Dropout. That's all.

I never anybody spefically was hating, but there are going be people (I meant outside the board) that will just hate because "it kanye" "he sucks" stupid arguements like that. You actaully put some thought into your post to why you didnt like it with valid reason, that right there doesnt make you a hata, least you acknowledge the good and bad, not blinded by one side of thinking

[beastieangel01]

*very little to no humor.

I guess if you are amused by 4th grade humor, sure ;)

Seriously though, he used to have jokes that seemd much more snappy/thought-out before.

And gracias g-mile. I tried my best to explain my problems with it. I really wish it was better, I WISSSSHHHHH!

wish I was a baller...

I sure do and I would call her

[rahntl]

Question....I thought John Mayer was supposed to be on here? Or didn't they produce a track together? Am I missing something?

I agree on the fact that I think it lacks the energy of College Dropout....it is much more mellow and dark. I was expecting the heavy hits and beats like, "Breathe in Breathe out", "Get 'em High", "School Spirit". I was surprised by the large amout of sampling but I am still going to give it a chance. And I do think it is funny. C'mon, the principal is back from College Dropout! the intro alone makes me laugh ("You ain't got nothin'' else to do...you ain't doin nuthin wit your life..." And the "Broke Phi BROKE" )

But I am listening and listening and he hits home to me on many songs. Right now I am digging Hey Mama (Yes, John Legend is the SHIT.), and Touch the Sky. And Celebration with the Otis Redding tracks. But tommorrow I will be digging something different.

[Hello_nasty]

After listening to the album a bit more, I have a few things to add:

1) Diamonds and Gold Digger are considerably better than anything else one the album.

2) Addiction is a good song, but it's too long... for the last minute and half he doesn't really say anything. I have no problem with long songs (We Major) but if you're not saying anything you might as well wrap it up.

3) Why is The Game on Crack Music? He just repeats what Kanye says.

Still, it's a pretty solid album.

2) Addiction is a good song, but it's too long... for the last minute and half he doesn't really say anything. I have no problem with long songs (We Major) but if you're not saying anything you might as well wrap it up.

3) Why is The Game on Crack Music? He just repeats what Kanye says.

Still, it's a pretty solid album.

Game had a verse but rumor is it got removed becasue of conflict issues with Game and his beef with 50 and the possiblity of ruining relationships with 50/Em least on Kanye side.the fact is Game verse was diffrent then Kanyes in temrs of the subject matter while Kanye was comparing rap muisc to crack Game went off on this entire tanget not even keeping with the theme of the song, and what it seems with this LP its all bout keeping it consitent serious the verse was whack I can only hear so much bout who he wants to dig into and whatnot...thats why Kanye didnt put him on the track cuz he didnt want to seem like he's promoting that image which he claims he is not


also I think Addiction is a solid song, I think the space is just a musical break which is great he deosnt have to rap the whole song after all theres no doubt he is a better producer/musician then rapper least so far. My favorite track now its just has sex/erotic all over it(the instrumental/singing)
