I am The Voice of This Generation

Kanye's new album is that good. I have been listening to it daily for the last few weeks; long enough that I've formulated relatively mature opinions on 808s and Heartbreak.

Haters are always going to hate, so its not worth my time trying to respond to some of the negative vibes that have been coming at this album. Instead, let me describe why I love it so much. Those who know me know that I have been a huge fan of 'Ye since The College Dropout (shit, since "Heart of the City") so I will admit that the following comments come from an unabashed diehard Kanye fan.

First of all, the Autotune is legit. Stop being so serious, and embrace the coming of the blade running matrix cyborg future world where we all speak in ridiculous Autotune. Second of all, you know you liked "Put On." So we all knew this was coming. Get into it.

"Heartless" just came on. Jesus Christ, this song is so good. To understand the artistic evolution that Kanye has completed to get here from "Through the Wire" requires hours of listening and a subtle knowledge of his entire body of work, but those long hours listening to Graduation were all worth it. Ok, the subject matter is a little dark, but the beat is so hot that I just don't care.

The subject matter of the album is yet another one of its many strengths. First we elect a black president, now a rap supserstar puts out a concept album that can't really be defined as hip hop. Things are truly looking up for this country.

Best Tracks:
Heartless
Amazing (feat. Young Jeezy)
Paranoid
Robocop
See You in My Nightmares (feat Lil Wayne)


Anyway, stop being a bitch and get into the new Kanye album. And for those of you who like sped up soul samples more than facemelting synthesizers and tight drums, I do understand how you feel. The next album will have those again, I promise. In the meantime, peep this video. Its not much of a video, but the song really needs no visual.
