    If Kanye cut this album down to 14 songs.
    This would be an undisputed classic.

    The streaming sales rules is killing albums. At least not every song is 2 mins like most albums now.

    100%

    Kanye->DaBaby->Jay-Z verses would flow fine, imo
    Keep the additional Marilyn vocals on the chorus

    Honestly just replace and/or merge all of the originals with the Part 2s (excluding the Ty$ verse...Junya didn't need that at all).

    and if it was lil baby that doesnt mean him hating gays will change anything. Just the curiosity running wild on me and not wild enough for me to google

    The fact that Kanye’s original idea was to physically move his actual childhood home to the stadium for LP3, and then burn it to the ground while Come to Life played is gut wrenching.

    the baffling thing for me its that I still see the talent, but he f---s up in the most obvious ways that it is hard to believe. This is happening since TLOP.

    It is very easy to see that the album is TOO LONG, some songs too, that censoring is bs, that the God talk needs to end (he improved here tho) and that you need to have a finished product, you cant just throw "Part 2s" like this. If he said this is a "playlist" (coff Drake) then I would get it more.

    Never seen an album this good becoming this bad due to the absurd unneeded length of it

    I still think its a magnificent album if you remove 50% of it

    this is kanyes encore

    The streams for this are impressive af though. Dude literally broke records on Spotify back to back. I don't even think Kendrick will do these streaming numbers when he has his comeback. Ye's relevant as both a celebrity and music artist even while dropping an okay project. d---.

    Yeah, with the sheer amount of publicity this album's rollout has received, it'll get a high initial turnout. But is this album interesting enough for people to stick around?

    I can't speak for the entire general population but I've spun this thing front-to-back four times already with no intention of stopping, soon.

    Even when I inevitably stop listening to the entire thing, I'm thinking there'll be 5-7 tracks that stay in rotation for a looong time.

    You can obviously tell that this isn't for everybody, and that's ok, but I think the people that want to enjoy it can easily do so.
