Kanye West "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"

[RPS]

Kanye West's new album is coming out in 2 weeks and just leaked to the internet. Some of the songs have been floating around, but now we've got the full album on the internet. Having heard the album, it's incredibly good and hopefully will stand alongside his earlier work. The three singles available - Power, Monster and Runaway - are 3 of the best Kanye songs.

[Pesci]

I haven't heard Monster but I loved Power and Runaway. Think I'll go hunt this down now...

I'm waiting for the dirty leak (before I actually buy it). I've been waiting for this album forever so I'm ready.

The dirty leak dropped yesterday. And this album is amazing, I've been listening to it nonstop since Tuesday

[ROZAY]

It's a pretty decent album. I don't like "Hell Of A Life" at all or "All Of The Lights" very much and he definitely could have replaced "So Appalled" with another G.O.O.D Friday track, but for the most part it's a very complete album. Certainly not his best, but it's a much better effort than 808's & Heartbreak. "Runaway" also goes on way longer then it should, but that's really my only complaint about it. I still like Late Registration, College Dropout and possibly Graduation more, but the production on this one is phenomenal and might just exceed all of his previous albums in terms of that.

Favorite tracks: "Blame Game" (love that song), "Devil In A New Dress" and "Power".

Album of the year. Maybe people will recognize to actually stop hating Kanye. Seriously man, the Eminem fans in my college are getting annoying. Chatting all this crap about how Kanye West isn't good.

[Pesci]

Eh, I thought the 2nd half dropped off a little. Good album on the whole but the first half was particularly awesome. And yes, the 4 minutes at the end of Runaway are pretty pointless.

[tristy]

I guess I'm the only one that loves Runaway being that long, I think it's pretty perfect as is. It's a fucked up mess in the beginning and end parts, and I really love it that way. It's a badass song, too.

I know I'll get called out on this, but whatever, it's MY opinion: best rap album of the year, for me, personally. I love everything he's put out this year. I really liked the Runaway short film, as well, but could have done without Kanye's acting. That was horrible.

[StevenRichardsRules]

I was really digging Monster until the Nicki Manaj part. Hate her with the blinding passion of a thousand suns. She is a terrible rapper. And I would have been able to tolerate it if it had been short but it was like two minutes. There needs to be a version without her.

[Pesci]

I quite like Nicki Minaj. I don't know why. I think it's her tits.

[StevenRichardsRules]

It certainly isn't her rapping.

[Pesci]

Yeah, probably the tits.

[LittleDaniel]

Pesci wants her pussy on his sideburns.

[StevenRichardsRules]

He Say Nicki "Don't Stop, You The Bestest"

And She Just Be Coming Off The Top, As-bestos.

[PH4E]

Nicki Minaj honestly probably has the best verse on Monster.

Anyway, I think the album is an absolute classic. I've listened to it something like seven times already and I think it competes with College Dropout as Kanye's best piece of work.

[StevenRichardsRules]

I dug the first part, thought it dropped off a bit when Jay-Z started up and then Nicki Manaj...

Digging the album thus far (have listened to the whole thing this morning). Only one song I don't like (Ridiculous) but I wouldn't say it's my favourite. I still think College Dropout's been the best so far, but this is a close second.

I have to agree, It was a pretty sick verse.

Downloading this now , I'll probably buy it next week

I wasn't much of a fan of Nicki until hearing Monster for the first time a few weeks back. My opinion on her was always "Lil' Kim did Lil' Kim better" but Monster really showed a solid side of her.

Check it Out was a pretty wicked song, I've not really heard a bad song from her

[RPS]

Yeah anyone who hates on that verse Nicki Minaj did on Monster is insane. Especially if you are gonna not mention how Jay Z sounds like an old geezer on the track.
