It's just phenomenal, the production and the raps. But in this album they're unanimously saying that it's a classic and I agree. That's what happened between the critics too. It started with the 808's and heartbreak, either you absolutely loved it or you just really thought it was crap. It's just phenomenal, the When you check the user-reviews, either you find extremely high-ratings or extremely low-rating. When you check the user-reviews, either you find extremely high-ratings or extremely low-rating. Dark Fantasy's package is very appealing, but ultimately it's too much of a ripoff of someone else's musical style for my taste, and more importantly, the sentiment expressed is the same old poor-liittle-me-I'm-so-put-upon public persona that we've all gotten really tired of. Seriously? Get real and get a plot and a clue. Kanye employs a bunch of strange imagery regarding some model that falls to earth, and is physically perfect, but she's a bird, and his friends won't accept her. I must admit I'm a fan of the video, and supposedly he directed it, but it's clear much of the credit needs to go to the director of photography.

True hip hop fans finally get something to chew on here, and while I don't know where it stands in the holy 10 of hip hop classics, I can truly say that it is the best hip hop album of this year and perhaps the past 5. Forget cutesy, this album is mean the kind of beats that make you grimace they're so hard. He's stopped thinking so much about his listeners, and the result is raw, good raw. He's smooth-talking, nasty, and the flows comes much more naturally on this album. This is a reborn rapper, and with him comes a new era of Kanye-ness. If you are looking for any other Kanye album to compare, you're mistaken. West does it completely, convincing audiences to listen closely to his stories and their deep atmospheres. He's smooth-talking, nasty, Few artists could get away with this level of genre-bending, norm-shattering composition and hip-hop artistry.
