His new album is unbelievable. He's a huge douchebag but definitely one of the most talented artists out there.

It seems sometimes you have to be a bit of douchebag to make awesome music, certainly when it comes to rap music.

I have to admit is much, much better than his previous album and some of the **** we had been doing. I don't like all of it, but mostly it is pretty good. I'm glad (Y)

Had listened to some of the songs, but just giving it a go as a total album for the first time. Over halfway through, and I'm pretty ******* blown away. This coming from a non-rap-fan. Bold lyrics, original basslines, good beats - classic Kanye. All of the Lights is very close to a perfect mainstream rapsong.

Oh definitely. Amazing track. And is that Rihanna on the chorus?

I'll preface by saying that I'm not a fan of rap music or any of the related subgenres, other than the occasional song, but I was asked to get this for someone and decided to listen to the entire CD because of the hype, and I have to say that it is just brilliant. There isn't a song on it that I don't like. Kanye can keep being a dick if he wants to, so long as he keeps making music like this.

So Appalled, to name just one song that hasn't been named already and isn't a single, is amazing.

Btw, my file of All of the Lights says Rihanna, Fergie AND Alicia Keys perform in it, although Rihanna is the only one I can remember off the top of my head. Was surprised to see Chris Rock's contribution, can't remember which song though.

Blame Game, I think.

And All of the Lights has even more big names than you mentioned. I can't really pick them out on the song, though.

All of the Lights is the fourth official single from Kanye West's fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It features John Legend, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Elly Carlos*son, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Rihanna and Elton John. [1]

^There was an even worse one (albeit shorter) on one of Ludacris' albums. RE: MBDTF, I really liked Gorgeous w/ Raekwon and Kid Cudi, especially the South Park line.

Ugh, that Chris Rock skit is the worst thing to ever be included on any album ever.

Lol why? It actually cracks me up every time I listen to it but then again I like Chris Rock.

It's not funny and it lasts for what seems like 10 minutes. According to iTunes I have never listened to that song because I don't get to the end of the track. "Yeezy taught me!" "Oh my GOD!" Okay. Not funny.

The first time it was funny, but now I skip it as soon as they start it. It's pretty annoying that it's within the song, because I actually like the song.


Anyway, I think right now Gorgeous is my favorite song, and if they could get rid of Jay Z and Nikki Manaj's verses on Monster, it would be hands down my favorite song in the album.

Yeah, just pinpointed it, it's Blame Game.

I liked it, I think the rhythm of Rock's speech contrasts nicely with the melody or whatever that's called, the underlying music. The female spoken part sounds kind of off, and the 'lyrics' are pretty bad, but the sound of it all put together is good, and I certainly enjoyed Rock's contribution.
