Recent reviews
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.
This album is undoubtably the most iconic collaboration in hip hop history, supplying decade defining bangers and signifying the passing of the torch from one G.O.A.T to another.
