Thought I'd give it a go for the hell of it.
I think I may like this album without Kanye rapping in it. I've never been impressed with his rap style or lyrics. He totally over-shadows the beats where I feel his rapping absolutely kills it. If anything the instrumentation is the most notable thing in this album. I feel it is a bit inconsistent though. For a while the beats are creative, pushes some boundaries, and follow well together. Then there are the less interesting tedious tunes, the awful shadow bellowing, and electro-distorted voice which sounds more awful. I can't say I've liked any of his previous albums, but at least this one took a different turn.
The lyrics make me cringe so hard, though.
There's my take.
