Not excited about the Ye feature. I can't remember the last newer Kanye song I actually legitimately enjoyed

Probably his track with Theophilus

I doubt it would happen but imagine he dropped these pop albums to move units then dropped mixtapes like the ogs for the old fans. Man that'd be awesome.
 
Kiss Land was two years ago. ll we've really gotten from him was features, Often, KotF, and the Drunk in love remix, so I'm sure he's sitting on a ton of music. He could release a cohesive project for us older fans via mixtape, but I'm not getting too fond of that idea right now. Just hope BBTM delivers.

Always wondered how many songs artists had on their laptops that they felt wasnt good enough or were throwaways, but would actually probably be straight bangers to the fans :lol:

Been tough but I haven't listen to any snippets at all, trying to hold out until the release date.
 
For the fans of that Complete Birds Mix. Me and pj04 from KTT made that. My paypal is ready for donations :lol:
 
Good work :smokin. When I wanna hear The Birds I find myself putting your version rather than the OG on more often than not.

Earned it was on the Movie soundtrack. People do songs for soundtracks all the time there is no reason earned it should be on the album. It was written for a movie for the context of that movie. The album is a different thing (or at least thats what we all hope)

No Girls in the 90s. We get often but not KOTF. You can guarantee that Kanye track will be butchered with either a horrible rap verse or some BS auto tune through the whole song. We know the Hills and ICFMF and In the night. Ed Sheeran will not deliver the grime so that song is gonna be mediocre at best.

But if there is one song on there as good as Adaptation, Gone, The Birds, Montreal.... it will all be worth it.

Some you guys need to relax. :lol:

Let the 28th come and just see what happens... How do we know that earned it won't be transitioned into anyway???

Maybe it will be cohesive maybe it won't... We wil find out soon enough... Relax...
 
Ed Sheeran feature is going to be dope. The first track I ever heard from the man was about a heroin addict prostitute.

Remember those 3 snippets from 2014...
First was a little upbeat

Second;"...coke lines, give me head call it four
times..."

Third was him humming/flowing but the best was slow dope

I just really thought Doc would be on here as well. They must have some real differences man...

Idk what happened but there definitely ain't no solving it.

I remember he shouted out Doc on KOTF, saw photos of them in the studio together but then after some time Doc gets on Twitter sub tweeting about the whole situation saying he doesn't wanna sell out.


He probably wanted to take things in a different direction musically than they ended up going, it's a shame though because IMO he still has the best chemistry with Doc and ILLANGELO.

They coulda went so much further into the sound they were creating.


Still not doubting the young king but what could've been.

That KOTF line man.. man I thought they was really byke

I was crushed when Doc started Tweeting out subs about selling out. Damn SHAME
 
Dude said he wanted to be the biggest star on the planet. I guess Doc didn't agree with going in that direction. Can't blame Doc for that. Weeknd built a strong foundation with him and Illangelo. Ultimately, this project will reflect dude's wanting to be a star, rather than the drugged out, never pictured, depressed Canadian guy we all came to appreciate. Departing from that is reflective of someone selling out. The saving grace comes in the fact that Weeknd decided to keep writing his own stuff rather than letting those producers do it for him. It is what it is at this point. I'm going to ride with homie, but I'm not tricking myself believing that this will be reminiscent of the old stuff. We can't have that era back I suppose. Even if we don't agree with the kid, all we can do is respect his decision, support the music, and take it for what it's worth. Whether this project is godly or not, we'll always have four incredible bodies of work to fall back on. If he doesn't deliver, then I'm sure we're all object enough to conclude that as a community. Some won't remain fans, some will. Time'll tell. Regardless of how it goes down, we're 22 days away. :smokin


Happy Thursday, btw.

I will re-word this a bit, I think he has refined the drug content and references but it's still there. The true essence of HOB and the tapes I feel like are gone, perhaps forever (the long lead ins, the long outros of singing about nothing, the tracks without a chorus etc.). That essence of the sound and production made me feel high in itself without being under the influence 

Now we'll have the drug lines over more structured and differently packaged songs. Exhibit ICFMF and The Hills. Still drugs and being f'd up just in a different package.  It is what it is...

Everything else I agree with 100%
