VIMTV Episode #229: Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Jake: Highly Recommended, 95/100

Tom: Recommended, 88/100

Overview: Love him or hate him, Kanye West has created a rap album to behold. With the exception of a few cringeworthy lyrics and some inconsistency as to whether or not Mr. West loves or hates himself, nearly everything about this album is truly brilliant. The beats are fresh sounding without relying on dance-club synths, and a lot of the vocal production pushes rap in a new, progressive direction. And did I mention the guest appearances? They’re amazing. You should definitely listen to this album, regardless of your personal feelings towards Kanye.

    This is probably my favorite Kanye West album. The “softer” tracks like Runaway and Blame Game are stellar tracks. The 2nd track w/ Kid Cudi (if i’m correct) is a great track also.

    As always, Great review!!
