"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"

To be honest, it's one of the best albums of all time.

People don't like Kanye because of his ego and because of his world view.  They think that he's a stuck-up asshole that doesn't care about anybody but himself; and that's exactly what he his.  The thing is, he knows that and he doesn't care to change it.  It's who he is, and it's what makes him the great musical talent that we hear today.

Despite what seems to be widespread unpopularity (especially among girls who are unhealthily obsessed with the ever-repetitive Taylor Swift) Kanye is always dropping something that tops the charts, at least for a short while.  His tactics may be unconventional, but Jay Z still hangs out with him, so he can't be that bad.

The MBDTF album is something that we have all heard of before, but really haven't.  It's the album that he secluded himself to write.  He dropped off the face of the earth and went into a self-imposed exile to produce it, and came back with this wonderful work of art that we have today.

I downloaded it, bought the vinyl, and bought a hard copy of this album not because I support Kanye as a person, but because I support his music and I think that the musical talent that he possesses deserves some credit.

MBDTF delves deep into the soul of the man and tells us what he really thinks.  The circumstances under which the album was produced are a testament to how deep the thought process was behind each of the songs that are included on the album.  G.O.O.D. Friday gave us a glimpse of a couple of the songs, and the singles that dropped gave a patchwork design of what the finished product was going to be, but the complete picture is what truly makes this album something for the history books.

Kendrick Lamar.

I don't see it.  People are saying that he's the new king of the West.  Dr. Dre and Snoop have basically anointed him the new king of gangsta rap and have said that he will rule the West when they give up or die.

I mean his new album is good, but is it really THAT good?

I said the same thing about Drake's Take Care album when it first came out, and it took me forever to get it and really start to listen to the songs on it and enjoy them, but now I can't stop listening to it day in and day out.

This Kendrick Lamar album might end up being the same thing and I kind of hope that it is, but who knows.

Also, Kendrick Lamar's last name is Duckworth.  Finding that out made my night.

The Man With the Iron Fists - Soundtrack

I don't know about you, but I've been waiting for this for a long time.  When I first saw the preview for this movie and saw that it was going to be a product of RZA and Tarantino, I nearly jumped out of my seat.

Then I saw that the soundtrack was going to feature some of my favorite artists, and I did jump out of my seat.  I literally stood up in the theater and put my fist in the air.  This is going to be the best movie soundtrack of the year.

The song that I'm most excited about is Kanye's song "White Dress", which he has already released a 60 second preview of, which can be found here (thanks to @Coach_Eli for the link).

In short, I'm stoked, and I've already pre-ordered it on iTunes for $7.99.. It should be well worth your money to BUY it.

Black Sunset Preview

I just got a preview from my buddy @BrewTheTruth from his new mixtape entitled "Black Sunset" which he plans to drop later this month.

The preview that he sent me includes three songs which are entitled "Fam First" "Droptop Dream" and "All We Have."

Follow this kid on Twitter and stay tuned for when he puts the songs on YouTube and his Sound Cloud account later this month.

I can't figure out how to post the songs on here but I will when I find out how.
