Has the Vh-1 Storytellers special with KanYe West premiered already and because I don’t have television service I missed it?
Anyhoo, here is a clip from that program featuring ‘Ye Tudda performing the joint that Wang guests on.
If you didn’t fuck with ‘808s & Heartbreak’ because you thought it would make your dick shrink or whatever bullshit that the internets had convinced you cowards would happen then you lost.
It’s a masterful album which lets you vent your frustrations without hurting anyone in particular. KanYe already did all the crying for you. All you have to do is listen.
What if ‘808s & Heartbreak’ was the best Hip-Hop album of 2009?
I still need to hear that new DOOM joint, but until then KanYe got this off.
Still won’t let go of that boys nutsack i see.
yo Dallas did u check PUBLIC ENEMY and The Roots on Jimmy Fallon last night? It was crazy….those dudes are over 50 and they still got it. I hope you check it out.
I noticed nobody commented, pro or con, on DP singing ‘Ye at Nostrand & Halsey in New Brooklyn the other day. Some of us appreciated it, however, and I have to agree musically too, especially in a world where absurd internets thugs like Saigon pretend to be ‘the truth’ or whatever.
Rhetorical question for “the real” hip-hop clowns: I wonder how they’d have swung (ll) with Stevie in real time, if they were alive to do so?

jUST CHECK IT OUT
Thanks for the link.
Last nite I was at this concert with ?uestlove, Black Thought and Tuba Gooding performing at Carnegie Hall.
Oh and yeah, Jessye Norman, she did her thing too.
OH and YEAH YEAH, Flav turns 50 this week!
Good album yeah.
Masterful, I don’t know.
Don’t get me wrong, I listen to it but I don’t know if I’ll ever call it masterful. I kinda think Phonte’s We Love the 80’s is just as good as 808.
Ye Bear on Nostrand & Halsey

Zo! & Tigallo “We Love the 80’s” was the joint. Prolly more that 808’s & Heartbreaks. I like em both though.
Zo! & Tigallo “We Love the 80’s” IS the joint! But that is an EP length COVER album.
C’mon fellas, give 808’s its due and stp trying to qualify good music(pun intended)
Let’s move on….Slaughterhouse and done.
I can’t front: lately Kanye gives me the Bjorks.
Looking forward to hearing Slaughterhouse.
I bump 808.
Come on Dallas man that kanye album was rancid and the ‘hipster masters of the universe’ are allowing dude to show up on even american freakin’ idol to shriek and moan and convince us thats its a good song!
I dont care if its coming from the heart coz it sounds like its comin’ from the pooper!!
I can’t co-sign on this one…that 808 was haht gahbij, B! instead of spilling his guts on some way overused vocoder sh*t, he should just straight rhymed his heartbreaks on some real gutter beats. I woulda made for a better album. This dude MURDERS every cat he collabs with, you gotta give him that, tho’.
I’m not so sure about Slaughterhouse either. Joell, Joey, Royce and Crooked-I are the dopest MC’s out there today, but it doesnt necessarily mean there’s gonna be chemistry to create a great album. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud the effort, me being from NJ, I wanna to see Joe Budden go in for the win, but he’s gotta do it on his own first. Same goes for the rest of Slaughterhouse.
Maybe it’s not even Kanye’s fault…I get beat in the head and I kick back. I’m just over it/him. I don’t even listen to the radio and I can’t escape this guy. Or maybe it is his fault: those tracks were not worth that hype. Not hatin’ though, do you…
Now, there is absolutely no chance of Slaughterhouse being overexposed (to me). I’d welcome it actually. I intend to wear that out….and eventually it’ll find a spot in permanent rotation…maybe next to Brand Nubian, Co Flow, Oranized Konfuse or something. Not even saying it’s instant classic, but at this rate, their shit will have a home in my home.
Now if 808’s never gets another spin?…whatever.
but that’s just me.
808s was better than I thought but not what I want from Kanye. He needs to lose the auto-tune and shag and get back to rappenin’ because that’s what’s happenin (c) ODB.
Here’s the link, DP, http://mrworldpremiere.blogspot.com/2009/02/vh1-storytellers-kanye-west.html
Oh dear….DP, if we continue to disagree about this dude then I’m afraid our love affair won’t work out. Sadface. I’m still gonna get you that Len Bias fitted, though. Love U 4 eva.
For the life of me I can’t understand what KanYe did to these folks sensibility that people haven’t embraced this album.
Some of y’all need to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Because being un-HipHop is bad for your health.
Thx Scoob. These little disagreements only make our relationship more compelling, still love u 4 eva.
U r welcome. xo
