In Monster & So Appalled, two very different posse cuts each verse is filled to the brim with less introspectivity and more lines about themselves, in a good light.Īnd god some guest verses are just unforgettable. This album is also all sorts of bragadocious. He brings on Cudi for a great hook and Raekwon for the last, killer verse. Kanye takes on issues in songs likr Goregous, talking about how everyone views him as a black man and just as himself. This somewhat mix of Graduation & 808s (especially present in songs likr Runaway or Lost In The World) is grand.
not his best, but his most important in what its done. Kanye West's somewhat magnum opus, and as I do enjoy stuff like TCD more, you have to admit that this is Kanye's most important album. I have heard this one before so I was prepared for another listen. What's a black Beatle worth? A perfect score. Every song is single-worthy, and every song should be blared through the speakers. Take away all the great records he's made and Kanye would still be an American hero for the incident that led to the creation of MBDTF: interrupting Taylor Swift on stage accepting best music video award or whatever. What a profound accomplishment of an album. Beautifully ominous, Kanye, using the fiery poetry of Gil Scott-Heron, lobs a slow-fuse black bomb as the concluding statement of the album: a quick'n'dirty recap of the besieging of black America - bombs America has constructed and armed that are beginning to detonate again. Endlessly fascinated with the compelling closer Who Will Survive In America. Lost In the World is one of the greatest closers ever, bar none, but its uplifting perfectly sets up the second phase of our close. The goofy Chris Rock skit at the end of Blame Game grows on me as the years go by. A decade of semi-conscious resentful alienation finally bubbled to the surface seeing how infuriatingly, heartbreakingly effortless normality and functionality were to my peers. Listened to it and MBDTF in general a lot back then. Runaway chorus put an excellent soundtrack to my state of mind dropping out of college back in 2014-15. Looking at my wrist, it turn your ass to stone Cyhi's "She found about April so she chose to march" section is in my personal pantheon of bars Moral victories is for minor league coaches, indeed Jay The day that you play me, would be the same day MTV play videos (another excellently aging line) So Appalled always has me cruising around NY with the boys in slow motion, looking disdainfully at people and throwing money at shit Invariably think of the sarcophagus line whenever the word comes up All of the Lights bridge is an all-timer The SNL line ages better and better as SNL gets less and less funny. Kanye and the boys, both on the tracks and in the all-star production team assembled in Hawaii for this masterpiece, are firing on all cylinders for 75 minutes. Peeved I missed the reveal on this one! (Was stalled pouring over the classic Halo 3 soundtrack.) Re-listening for the generator: MBDTF is an absolute joy to listen to. Es triste la persona en la que se ha convertido con el tiempo pero nadie puede negar que dentro de el siempre ha habido un artista con todas sus letras. hueva tu canción dirigida a tu ex con referencias que solo tu entiendes pero incluso en ese caso musicalmente no tengo queja alguna, es especialmente oscura y meticulosa en su sonido. El único traspié, a mi gusto, es la letra de Blame Game, porque la verdad. Canciones como Power o Monster son básicamente perfectas y espesas en todas sus capas tan cuidadas. Es la mejor muestra de lo que era capaz de lograr cuando lograba canalizar sus obsesiones a algo productivo. Un disco que mezcla invitados desde Jay Z hasta Elton John pasando por un skit de Chris Rock, con mezclas que incluyen pop de sonido africano, King Crimson, Black Sabbath y Aphex Twins.
Las letras siento nunca han sido su fuerte pero incluso aquí hay atisbos muy interesantes tanto de su personalidad, lo que siente de la fama y, con retrospectiva de 20/20, una mirada a lo que en un futuro terminaría en cosas tan tristes como episodios psicóticos de paranoia a medio concierto. Todo el disco es musicalmente irrepetible, tiene una producción estúpidamente pulida y creativa. Kanye West es un genio musical, un genio musical con demasiados problemas mentales y que con el pasar de los años ha bajado tanto en calidad e interés artístico como en cordura pero la cantidad de genio y talento que tiene no se puede negar y en este disco en particular está en su mayor momento. Ahora, en 24 horas lo he escuchado 5 veces completo. Hace un par de meses me dieron ganas de escuchar este disco de nueva cuenta después de varios años y lo escuche durante una semana completa.
