 More drivel from this prep-school "dropout" September 13, 2007

Boring, boring, boring. Is this really the best that the well-regarded "dropout" can do? Leave this snoozer of an album on the shelf, and go get some real music--NWA, Biggie, Tupac, Dre, Eminem in his thug days.

If you think hip-hop is only about some good beats and lackluster lyrics then go ahead and buy this album. Honestly some of the songs do make you wanna dance. Of course those songs are played on the radio ad-nauseum so why buy the cd for that reason. Big Brother is probably the only song that can be considered good based on it's CONCEPT but it's STYLE is irritating to me. I should have saved my money on this one.
 Pfffft, whatever get some real hiphop instead September 13, 2007

Its aight, some of it is really lame and pop techno BS, some of it is tight, all of it is "not that great" It is a shame that he is selling so many albums while so many real hip hop artists with more talent don't sell anywhere near this; go out and buy the new Pharoahe Monch album!

Pretty much only good with Chris Martin who actually has musical talent. Nice try Kanye, you should take some tips from real producers like Dre of Timbaland.
No, I don't think so September 10, 2007

I just really get irritated listening to this cat throw down the rhymes. Stronger has one of the best beats this side of Public Enemy, but the rhymes are dumb and don't make any sense. Referencing Prince and OJ in the same set of rhymes? Come on now, that is silly. It's more versatile than most garbage in the game today, but still kind of lame. I would love to see rappers like Kool G Rap and Paris be more relevant today. They were good rappers that wrote about things that made sense to me. I've liked rap for years and front my own rap group called Frisbee Frank and the cranky gerbils. We do a lot of covers of the people mentioned above plus covers of BDP, EPMD and the Fat Boys. We also write our own stuff like "Gimme some club crackers you crazy woman". It's the biggest hit in rural Nebraska right now.
Kanye is that bad which is pretty good but worse than the best that isn't too bad. He makes you dance some and think a minute or two about where your gas money is going. At the end of the day, he is average. I just booted average into the upper corner for another game winning goal.
