COP DAT CUDI

Got this and Cee-Lo's Lady Killer album.

Haven't gotten to Cee-Lo yet. But, I've listen to Cudi's new album all the way through (didn't download the leak). And I like it. It might not be as good as MOTM 1, but it's still solid. It's got about the same amount of songs as the deluxe version of MOTM1, and about the same amount of good and bad songs alike, so I'm not disappointed. The End is maybe my new favorite Cudi song.

Songs I really like: Revofev, Marijuana, Mojo So Dope, Mr. Rager, The End, Ghost!, All Along

Songs That are alright: Scott Mescudi vs. The World, We Aite (really short though), Ashin Kusher, Erase Me, Maniac, The Mood, These Worries

Songs I don't like: Wildin' cuz I'm young, Trapped in my Mind.

Lyrics:

Spoiler

ye tormented souls
My goal is to sit on the globe like North Poles
And that's the top mane, goin hammer like a glock can
All flow and grammAr, no shots strayin'
Im so sober when I speak
I call it catchin' bullets with my teeth
You can feel it in your chest
Like Bruce Lee jumpin' on your vest
But I cant feel yours through my Superman "S"
Yes, I'm Superman'd out, Red Cartier look like Superman house
Inshallah to my plan, hope it super pans out
My life is like Italians doin 100 miles
And the top open like the roofer ran outta tiles
Walked right into Philipes when I ran outta Chows
Next up is Crustacean and fast food Halals
The beef is all the same, its just how they kill the cows
Somebody tell Malcom X that Im tryna steal his style
And tell Cornell West that Im tryna steal his froooo
Go back in time, take the slaves plows, shovels, and the hooooes
Their masters get the "It Was Written" introooo
SLR Ten fo, SLR Ten fo
Soundtrakk let the beat go
Soundtrakk let the beat roam

Chorus:
In this world I'm so alone
In a category all on my own
Cuz I tell the world what I want to
Yea, I tell the world what I want to
Man I feel so alone
They treat like me like an outcast
Cuz I tell the world what I want to
But you can tell me what you gon' do

Cause ***** I dont believe that
Like 9/11 came from Iraq
And Mayweather on the speedbag
Automatic weapons keep the same rhythm he has
That's how the hood sound
Grew up in a hood town
West side ghetto, Windy City, Cook Count(y)
Black skies lookin up, crack pipes lookin down
Accused of not lookin back, blind ***** look around
City on my back, so the CHI go errywhere I'm at
Presence so shiny, Mercedes so matte
Copped that from Platinum, the color of my plaque
I memorize "Colors" off of Yo! MTV Raps
A nightmare walkin in a psychopath's nap
Defeat your purpose like a weed stash in the rehab
Guess who's sneakin' in the weed bags
They be me with my mean ***
Not tryna be anything but free as
Flow is so nuts, the track is gettin' T-Bagged
Just wanna rap nice, that ain't me tagged
If you wanna be mean, then you wanna be me bad
Call it being Pretty Lyrically Swag
Soulja call it Super Lupe Lyrical
You cant understand me nor mimic my miracles
All I see is me and I'm a mother lovin mirror fool
Bein dope is all in the muscle
It's more than just a pause and a chuckle
I bench press elephants, and bowlin ball juggle
So dont be scared to take the Super Lu route
Top 5 alive and I only got 2 out!
School ya on your history, I tell ya what you bout
Fight for all the right things and let the Huey New out
Pharrell what these niggas talkin bout?
2 man Big Pun, a 1 man Slaughterhouse
A 2 album Jay-Z, a 1 ***** Wu-Tang
Young and hungry Mos Def, a conscious rappin Lil Wayne
and I dont care for similarities
Cause Im a pioneer, not a parody
These ain't bars, this is barbarity
SLR......Clarity


(Chorus)


Holy shock and awing cattle prods,
All up in the action where the fraction of the catalogue,
of my peers, I ain't doin' numbers like Ambersal,
but Im here, and I'm revered,
Lyric boy, Based King, Master Chef, All City Chess moves makin ????? CRS fool
Carrera Era, pan Amera, F-Tool, Emperor, Free Chilly *****, FNF RULES!!!
'Ye, what these niggas talkin bout?
A Jesus in the desert walkin Dundee walkabout
A self imposed Exile, learn to let the awesome out
Even if I was homeless I would still have an awesome house
Cause the world is mine, Lupe to the rescue, the world is fine
Words and lines of mine, I feel are better than every rap in the world combined!!
And thats how you do it
Errything flu, errything fluid
Stupid with the raps, but the raps never stupid
Trakk on the music, SLR roofless
And the next whip is that Ferrari car
Game over, body parts

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has leaked. The thing is it's only the clean version. No clue when the explicit version is coming but it should be soon.

Rolling Stone review (5/5 stars):

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/reviews/album/45342/232350/#1/

When Kanye West sings about "jerk-offs that’ll never take work off," you’d best believe he means himself. Being crazy is this guy’s job, and judging from the sound of his music, business is booming. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is his most maniacally inspired music yet, coasting on heroic levels of dementia, pimping on top of Mount Olympus. Yeezy goes for the grandeur of stadium rock, the all-devouring sonics of hip-hop, the erotic gloss of disco, and he goes for all of it, all the time. Nobody halfway sane could have made this album.

Last time, Kanye went minimal for the electro melancholia of 808s & Heartbreak. But on Fantasy, he gets ridiculously maximal, blowing past all the rules of hip-hop and pop, even though, for the past half-decade, he’s been the one inventing the rules. There are hip-hop epics, R&B ballads, alien electronics, prog-rock samples, surprise guests from Bon Iver to Fergie to Chris Rock, even a freaking Elton John piano solo. It’s his best album, but it’s more than that — it’s also a rock-star manifesto for a downsizing world. At a time when we all get hectored about lowering our expectations, surrendering our attention spans, settling for less, West wants us to demand more.

Nobody else is making music this daring and weird, from the spooky space funk of "Gorgeous" to the King Crimson-biting "Power" to the paranoid staccato strings of "Monster." Nearly six minutes into "Runaway," long after the song has already sealed itself in your brain, the sound cuts out and you think it’s over. Then there’s a plinking piano, the feedback of an electric guitar plugging in, some "Strawberry Fields"-style cellos and Yeezy himself singing a poignant Robert Fripp-style solo through his vocoder. There’s no way it should work, but it keeps rolling for three more minutes without breaking the spell.

Coming off a string of much-publicized emotional meltdowns, Yeezy is taking a deeper look inside the dark corners of his twisted psyche. He has sex and romance on his mind, but he comes clean about his male angst like never before. In confessions like "Runaway" and "Blame Game," he honestly struggles to figure out why he has to be such a douchebag. Yet the songs are also his funniest ever, with Kanye showing off lethal wit on the mic: In "Dark Fantasy," he rhymes "mercy, mercy me, that Murcielago" with "diablo," "bravado" and "My chick in that new Phoebe Philo/So much head, I woke up in Sleepy Hollow."

There’s a famous story about Queen making "Bohemian Rhapsody": Whenever the band thought the song was finished, Freddie Mercury would say, "I’ve added a few more ‘Galileos’ here, dear." But nobody can out-Galileo Kanye. With Fantasy, he makes everybody else on the radio sound laughably meek, but he’s also throwing down a challenge to the audience. Kanye West thinks you’re a moron if you settle for artists who don’t push as hard as he does. And that means pretty much everybody.

Not the best written review IMO, but from the songs I've heard so far the album is amazing (not saying much coming from a Ye fan like me, but still...). And yes, a lot of the songs do sound pretty different from the leaks. For example "Devil In A New Dress" has Rick Ross and guitar riffs in it.

I'll post/PM a link whenever the explicit version comes out. If you want the clean version, PM me. Personally I'm gonna wait, because I heard one song that was a clean version and there were too many gaps. Kinda ruined things.

Nope, not yet. Still waiting.

And yeah SLR was dope. I love that beat. Also can't go wrong with about 6 minutes of Lupe.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Man Kanye's album would be so tight if most of the tracks on there weren't on any mixtapes already. Like 8 of the songs on here I've already heard so in reality it's really like a 6 track album.
