Not really a fan of the club beats and probably some Kanye’s least interesting verses. Even though I don’t love this album there are still some cool moments on it, primarily the samples on Otis, and New Day and Murder to Excellence. I never really go back and listen to this as an album but there’s some decent singles. I also just don’t really resonate with the idea of the album.
