...are on a different level. I am no longer worried about the album. These songs are on a different level from all of his stuff. They are artsy as hell, yes, but I think...this stuff is just unreal. It is that good. Kanye West isn't a hip-hop artist to me anymore. He just is. He just is Kanye West. I'll say it again, this album will be unreal. I mean this doesn't sound anything like his other stuff...combination of College Dropout and Graduation? I guess...but that stuff seems so distant from this. And lyrically, I don't think he has ever been better. Dark Fantasy in the movie is sick. Kanye did soul beats, then strings, then synth, then he went pop...and I've been thinking, where can he go next? He can go art...I understand the hip-hop lovers longing for old Kanye putting out stuff like CD and Graduation...but I am thrilled with this direction.
Maybe it is just because it is fresh material and I will say oh the old stuff is just as good later...but right now I think these songs are just...this is seriously 5 star material, 9.8+/10 on Pitchfork, Album of the Year. I mean this isn't hip-hop to me anymore. It is just top caliber music by one of the greatest artists of all time.
