Agree with the Hov part.

Your dead wrong on 50 though. His first album and even the first group album takes a shit from the 4th story window on some of the garbage that gets props on here. Bronson, Schoolboy, Riff Raff etc etc

my only real problem with Cole is on every verse he sounds like he's trying so hard to win. I don't care for that Vegeta rap shit. I'm at that vicious capitalist stage of my life and I'm not tryna hear some dude mumble about a come up. id rather listen to broke boy swag rap than that shit.

id rather listen to macklemore, even his tracks have more punch.

Krit falls into that trap of repeating theme too. Southern boy chasing his dream, Candy paint, no respect for me, its my time, I gotta succeed, I'm underground!

I dig Krits production way more than Coles though, that's about all that keeps me checking him out.

ya I'm curious about how much ye will move. I'm not sure what his single will be this time around or how much leftover WTT steam will power that engine. Seems like he's trying to make a statement with this album, and that's a double edged sword.

Q-Tip at the Redbull Music Academy. He plays his own version of Mama's Boyfriend, Preemo's original version of Memory Lane for Illmatic and generally kicks a bunch of knowledge. About 3/4 through it and I love it as much as the other hip-hop related episodes they've put out. Close to the end he goes through how he makes a beat.

guys i think i'm gonna dive into this macklemore album. I got myself ready by making a nice turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and mayo and pouring myself a glass of juice (it has all the nutrients). I figure i'll probably need to change into some sperries, a polo, and some khakis in a minute. Possibly a backward facing hat. I can't be sure.

Wish me luck

If you're honest with yourself, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Also, you're talking greasy about turkey sammiches like they're not delicious. Stop hating my culture, bro.

Don't forget the side of Ruffles with sour cream and onion dip. Desert needs to be a nice slice of carrot cake.

Also, Macklemore is an alcoholic smoker. Doesn't scream too healthy. So, you should smoke a couple of menthols, so people know you got a lil hood in you

menthols are great, and so far this album is solid but i cant shake the feeling like there's matchbox 20 playing in the background somewhere in my house and i cant turn it off

good production though, refreshingly different

I said surprising. Not GOAT.

I really, really like most of the album though for real. Balances humor, introspection and wit with some absolutely perfect production. He's charismatic, his flow could use work, but he has something to say and nobody is going to say his perspective in rap isn't fairly unique. If I had discovered it last year, it would've been top 5 for me, probably behind GKMC, HnC, Control Systems, Heist, Cruel Summer. Roughly.

This happened in a supermarket I worked in before. Guy I worked with thought it was okay to put Hit Em Up on the PA.

WTT had Niggas in Paradise bumping everywhere. Yeezus doesn't have any radio presence, I doubt that will result in similar big numbers. Plus Cruel Summer had a huge single and still didn't sell crazy for its first week.

Kanye isn't as big as advertised (pause) IMO. I could be proven horribly wrong lol, but I'm sticking with him barely getting by 300k, then a 60% sales drop the following week.

Okay so I listened to the Heist all the way through. I can see why this sells so much. Ryan Lewis is a pretty talented guy actually. He has a lot of good looks that could work for guys like Lupe or even a guy like Pitbull maybe. He's pretty versatile, and so is Macklemore. This album reminds me heavy of being in high school and actually enjoying shit like Atmosphere(scust) so it resonated with me decent in a self loathing way. That being said, this shit aint me. This is that John Lennon rap. There are some seriously hilarious ass make a difference lets be friends raps on here that are so corny it makes my heart want to implode and just die on the spot. Especially this gay marriage/love song Same Love, it's just so naive, cutesy, and panderingly liberal it's almost nauseating. This shit is different, but it isnt necessarily good. I just don't like Macklemore very much. There are times on this album i dont feel like I'm listening to hip hop, but I am at the same time. Actually, he reminds me of Neo Kanye in that regard. There's also WAY too much wimpy sing songy shit on here for my tastes. I like the hyper cuts like Can't Hold Us, but the rest.... ehhh

6.5/10

tl;dr its a shame that Macklemore is the face of this album and resulting singles because Ryan Lewis is the star.

You saying Ryan Lewis production comes across like Ant production?

You got that from my review?

They are nothing alike. Ant is white boy strumming on your porch with an acoustic guitar and some shit that sounds like it belongs on that stage of a stomp! concert for drums. Ryan Lewis actually has layered shit and works samples well together.

I just caught the tail end talking about Ryan Lewis. I haven't heard much of the album aside from the singles so I was genuinely asking not being sarcastic.

I honestly agree with PD when it comes to sells of Yeezus. I don't see it doing 400k. I have a hard time imagining 300k really....but I could see the 2nd week or so picking up more sales once people get news of his album
