I find the production to be incredible. The songwriting is pretentious but what can you expect from Kanye? I still like it though. I respect the opinion also. Any Kanye album you actually like?

Out of curiosity, what is it that you like about the production on MBDTF? |

In regards to MBDTF, from the beginning line 'Can We Get Much Higher' I was hooked.
I think you guys are telling porkies if you are saying it's a forgettable album. Awesome production, and well placed guest slots make each track compelling to me at least. From the up-tempo All Of The Lights with it's accompanying prelude to the r'n'b sing-song hook on 'Blame Game' and who could forget 'I'm a mutha****ing monstaaa' or the over-the-top chanting and echoing in Power. I think some people set out with the intentions of disliking Kanye, or perhaps mainstream music in general. Before I came to MB, I was one of those people who would dismiss music I didn't think I'd like before giving it a chance, honestly, it wouldn't matter to me if a million people said this record was a piece of ****, I know in my mind it's ****ing awesome. |

Janz listen to it all the way through just to be sure. If you don't like the beats your talking down on the likes of RZa, Q-Tip and others
The album has a lot of ranges/colors musically, yet still has a cohesiveness that feels like Kanye(as oppose to say a Lupe album that feels devoid of anything) The first single was a King Crimson flip, pretty distinguishable sound when his contemporaries are pleased to regurgitate monolithic bass with occasional snare. I like Kanye's cadence. I find it amusing when he says "tell peta my mink is draggin on the floor", others find it idiotic. His sound is always original and dramatically different with each release. He is slightly overrated as a producer. All of his beats follow a similar pattern and usually dependent on a blatant vocal sample but still. edit:me and slow groove just said the same thing pretty much |

I like Kanye as I have said, but after around three listens I genuinely can't remember any song on the album other than "All of the lights" which I don't care for.
