Nah, had like 3, 4 real good songs. Other than that it's just another pretty good hip hop album. It's the same thing with the Eminem album. Sure, they're rapping about something now but they're doing something that hundreds of underground guys have been doing for 20 years, and not doing it overly well.

Well Em isn't doing it well but there's some great stuff on Kanye's album.

Well just because some shitty magazine in your town says it was doesn't mean anything. There's a whole country out there, and even a world beyond that

i watched runaway and here is a very condensed version of my would-be review

had good cinematography, sick shots of explosions and fireworks and stuff. i liked the animals in it and the bird-girl had amazing eyes. the music was good, i really liked the bon iver sample, probably the only good bon iver sample i have ever heard, and a lot of the other music in it was good

the ballerina scene dragged on forever, and it was just weird. i havent really got a clue what the film was about, the whole thing was weird as hell.

had strong points but IMO that shit was wack.

have you even listened to it? i havent heard much but i liked what i heard, and it has gotten unreal reviews. pitchfork (i know, pitchfork is fucked and pretty shitty) gave it a 10.0, im pretty sure its one of 3 albums to ever get 10.0. rolling stone gave it 5 stars im pretty sure, so theres gotta be something to it.

kanye is the preeminent musical genius of our era.  dark fantasy is for sure the best album of 2010.  hands down.

I haven't heard a second of the album but I can guarantee that it's not the best album of the year kanye is not even close to capable of being able to produce anything requiring that much talent

laughable.  i think you could make a case for every album he has made being the album of that year.  the man is a genius.  say what you will about him as a person (i agree with obama, kanye's a jackass).  but as an artist, he is gold.  gold, jerry, gold.

Seriously. Is everyone else just completely retarded that they can consider this album to be anything more than a pile of dung?

"Let’s have a toast for the douchebags!
Let’s have a toast for the assholes!
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let’s have a toast to the jerkoffs"

"I’ma need to see your fucking hands at the concert"


Please, for those that think this album is good, dunk your head in some cold water and wake the fuck up.

yeah, and the music video to the single is also awesome. kanye's album is really good but i don't really feel like it was the best album of the year for me at least

I disagree with your opinion. It's really good, top 5 all year for sure but not number 1. I'd take Graduation or Late Registration Ye over this Kanye. Songs that are good on here are Gorgeous (3rd verse is amazing), So Appalled, Devil in a New Dress, Hell of Life and Blame Game. I really don't know how people like the other shit like Monster and All of the Lights, which is absolute overkill by the way.

Onto you saying he is a "genius", what the fuck is so genius about the film Runaway. I can take shrooms and make a movie too bro. It's just him doing something different, weird and downright obnoxious and dick riders like you call him a genius for it.

And if you wanna know my opinions on the top albums of the year, Big K.R.I.T's K.R.I.T. Wuz Here or Cudder's Man on the Moon II.

You serious? MBDTF is probably one of the best albums this year. It has some fucking good tracks for sure. I'd rather listen to kanye than some shit quality rappers that invade the airwaves of todays radio. You sir, Are the epitome of ignorance. Judging a book by its cover isn't going to get you far.
