Review: Tate and I sat down to review this album. Here's what we said about it.

Big Beast: (j) Hard hitting, Powerful. (t) Bun b was too calm on his verse. (t) Good
El-P production. I love the cartoonish synths, what I've heard they continue throughout the album.

Untitled: (Tate) Not a good hook (j) Sounds like a foreign instrumental, amazing lyrics (t) lacks something. (j) Ear shredding intro (t) Bad intro to the hook, pretty good lyrics though.

Go!: (j) Questionable production. (j) Stellar rapping. (j) Stellar flow. (t) Good rapping. 
Did Eminem get the idea for rap god from this? (j) Yeah I agree!

Southern Fried: (j) Way too awkward (j) Good production. (t) Bad hook (j) What no I liked the hook. It's good to sing along with. (t) Boring. messy flow. The ending sucked.

Jojo's Chillin: (t) Not that good (j) it's not that bad, good flow. (t) Bad hook. Is the flow edited flow? (j) That's not really a bad thing in my opinion. (t) Weak production. (j) It's ok. I like the story. (t) I don't mind it.

Reagan: (j) Nice intro. (t) it's clearly anti-Reagan (j) first verse was amazing (t) I agree (j) Sick production. Reminds me of Leftield. (t) Yes. (t) That was powerful. Very good production. overall great track. (j) Amazing story.

Don't Die: (j) Nice introduction. It's like video game sounds. (t) Get it? Don't die. Video games. (j) Oh yeah. I really like the instrumental. (j) Deep. I like the way it changes. (t) It's playing off itself.  I like that John Connor line. (j) I don't get it. (t) John Connor? Terminator? (j) Oh I get it now.

Ghetto Gospel: (J) I like the production. (t) I'm gonna agree with The Needle Drop and say the hooks not that good. (j) I didn't mind it. (t) Interesting story (j) Yeah. 
(t) The hook doesn't work for me. (j) I like the choir sample at the end of the verses.

Butane (Champion's Anthem): (j) The intro is awful. (t) Ha, what was that? (j) Oh god, It's his ad-lib, He does it after every verse. (j) I love the production. (j) I don't like the hook. (t) Meh, It's ok. (j) The lyrics are good. (t) It sounds like it should be in the Mafia III soundtrack. 
(j) El-P has a good verse on the track. (t) Yeah. (j) the hook has some really lack lustre lyrics.

(j) The good tracks over weigh the bad tracks on this album. (t) Like "Reagan".

Anywhere But Here: (j) The instrumentals sick. (t) I can't agree more. I don't like the deep tone   in the first verse. (j) The singer doesn't fit at all. (t) yeah. (j) A bit too relaxed? 
(t) Yeah, he's not really enjoying it. (t) This could have been a great song without the singer on the hook. (j) True.

Wilkie Burke Sherwood: (t) Terrible intro. (j) I like the production. (t) Feels like a jigsaw puzzle being put into the wrong places. Just doesn't work. (j) It's ok. I don't like the start of the second verse. The lyrics are good though. (t) Intresting story. (j) It makes me feel for him. However it doesn't really work. 

R.A.P. Music: (j) The intro is deep man. (j) I like the hook. (t) I like this song but I can't explain why. (j) Good story. (t) I like this. (j) Yeah. I do too.

(t) 8/10 For me. (j) Same here

Rating: 8/10

Review:
Overall,in my opinion this album was deep yet it had some very interesting,to say the least,parts. It's flow was consistent and barely never got messy except for Southern Fried. That song had no point in the album. So here is my interview with Jordan the main owner of Those guys who review. Enjoy!

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Review

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Fav Songs: Dark Fantasy, Lost In The World, Monster, Power, Blame Game, Gorgeous, All Of The Lights

Least Fav Songs: Uhhh I guess Devil In A New Dress?

Released: November 22, 2010

Review: Kanye West is an Atlanta, Georgia rapper who a lot of people don't know much about. So today I looked back into his universally acclaimed 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The album is his fifth studio album. The first track Dark Fantasy shows why Kanye is so loved. It's about how people often view celebrity life as "fun and easy" even though it's not. It has amazing production by Kanye West and RZA. Gorgeous featuring Kid Cudi is all about racism in America and how "Jerome gets more time than Brandon". The production is very simple yet powerful. Power is a work of art that features powerful production. At the end of the song he contemplates ending his life while he's at the peak of his career.  All of The Lights has an beautiful but sad interlude performed by Elton John and Chris Chorney with a piano and a cello. All Of The Lights itself is a song about Kanye Wests quarrels with life where he talks about divorces, domestic abuse and other serious topics. The song has generally pop-ish production however it still has very good production. Monster is an energetic song that features performances from Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Pusha T, Rick Ross and Bon Iver. So Appalled is a deep insight into celebrity life and how everyone should just stand up and say, forget everyone and everything! Devil In A New Dress is a song about Kanye West using familiar religions to think all sorts of nasty things about a girl. 
Blame Game featuring John Legend is a beautiful song about Kanye's relationship with a girl/fame. Lost In The World is a powerful track about the two sides of Kanye's relationship. This album in my opinion is one of Kanye's best albums to date, it has twists and it opens up the life of a celebrity.

Rating: 10/10
