rapmastermind;1754822 said:1st I'd like to thank the Mods and All Hip Hop for making this a sticky for the last 2 months. I think the thread was a good thread and one the best i've made up here. I decided not to post my written review cause honestly, I didn't say anything that hasn't already been said about the album on the media. But here is a cliff notes version. I have only one complaint. It was a little too Callabo heavy. I understand why KanYe had a lot of callabo's though.
After a horrible year he actually needed some shoulders to cry on and some friends to lean on. The album callabo's remind me of a Dr Dre, Puffy or Timbaland album. Yes KanYe is a producer/rapper like them. But he's actually a real rapper unlike them. So I was surprised when artist like Pusta T, Jay Z and Rick Ross end up on more than one song and the fact KanYe made his own version of "We are the World" by having 10 people on one song. So again KanYe, cut down the callabos on the next album. But that's wasn't enough to hurt the album. But here is my song by song Mic Rating:
Dark Fantasy - 5 MICS (The Nicki intro, the Beat, two solid verses and an amazing sample. Great Track)
Gorgeous - 4.5 MICS (Love the beat, Kudi does a great job on the hook. Chef could of came a little harder but his verse was still good)
Power - 5 MICS (One of the best singles of KanYe's career, it goes with Classics like "Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Diamonds" and "Through the Wire")
All of the Lights Intro - 5 MICS (One Word, Beautiful)
All of The Lights - 5 MICS (It's just an epic song and KanYe showed that people do respect his artistry)
Monster - 4.5 MICS (Everyone came hard, Yes even Nicki, her verse grew on me but I'm still not blown away as many acted when it dropped. But it's a dope posse cut none the less)
So Appalled - 5 MICS (Easily my favorite track of the "G.O.O.D. Friday" leaks. Everyone came tight on this and the beat is so cinematic. Jay and Ye killed it though)
Devil in a New Dress - 5 MICS (Vintage KanYe right here, pounding drums, dope soul sample. Ross added a nice element though I actually like the version with just Ye on it.)
Runaway - 5 MICS (I mean at it's core it's a very basic and simple beat but the music and lyrics are very powerful. Also this gets 5 MICS cause the Video was just amazing and makes the song even more ILL cause you can picture the visuals when you listen to it)
Hell of a Life - 3.5 MICS (This was the weak link of the album to me. I don't know I just didn't feel it like that. Not a horrible or bad song but not a great on either. I do like the hood though)
"Blame Game" - 5 MICS (I just love this song, Chris Rock was funny as hell. )
Lost in the World - 4 MICS (Great sample, had a very "808's" vibe to it, but it's dope)
Who Will Survive In America - 4 MICS (Great way to end the album, love the speech at the end)
#1. College Dropout - 5 MICS
#2. Late Registration - 4.5 MICS
#3. My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy - 4.5 MICS
#4. Graduation - 4 MICS
#5. 808's and Heartbreak - 3.5 MICS
So I have it ranked right after Ye's 1st two. I think it and "Late Registration" could be a toss up, but I give "LR" the slight edge. "CD" is still his best album. Overall, as a Ye' fan and a Hip Hop fan. KanYe made me proud of this genre. I expect they will be talking about this album for years to come. One thing is for sure, NO RAP ALBUM IS 2010 IS BETTER THAN KANYE'S ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite Cover is the Sword and the Crown laying the grass cover, dope:
Let's have a toast.........
8 MONTHS LATER? DO YOU STILL FEEL THE SAME. On the Eve of "Watch For The Throne", I popped this back in to see how I felt about it. certain songs have been on replay for the last 8 months, others have feel to the side. I still fell it was a great album but some songs I would change my mic ratings. I do not think "Runaway" is a 5 MICer, I'd give it a 4 now but the Video is still a Classic to me. "Monster" is more like a 4 also. "Blame Game" is very good but it's far from a 5, I'd give that a 4 now also. Overall I still rank it about 4.5 MICS, 3rd best album behind "College Dropout and Late Registration".

I think it has slighty better replay value than "808's and Graduation" but I agree that it doesn't hold up to KanYe's 1st two as far as replay value. All I know is they played the hell out of "Monster" here in NY, I can't even listen to the song now. But the Video was crazy ILL to me, very artistic:

ROBBED!!!!!!!, I'm not saying he would of beat Adele but he was robbed clearly. How was this NOT album of the year material? Are They kidding? They been hating on Ye since "808's" after the Taylor drama.
