    @Koolo nah i meant this might finally be the fall off

    well i should preface this by saying that this is all conjecture based off of what kanye has said/done this year. but he must have felt an album release was imminent when he did only one, fourfiveseconds, and all day in three months. he must have figured he didn't have enough songs for a good completed album, or that his then-completed album wasn't good enough. since then, it's been too light to inspire any confidence, and every time he speaks in public, he's talking about how slow he's taking it, how he doesn't want to build hype, etc etc.

    look at each of the last three albums: kanye locked himself somewhere (hawaii, hawaii again, paris) for an extended period of time and knocked out the record. it had a specific driving aesthetic. it doesn't seem kanye's done anything resembling that since that weekend in mexico in 2014.

    the guy's expecting a second kid so i'm not begrudging him for staying home instead of holing up in amsterdam to make beats, lol. he doesn't owe us anything, esp not on a schedule. but i worry that he's gonna go in the studio once a month and record one song that's presented to him by travis scott and post malone, and eventually he'll have twelve songs.

    this all could be the most negative view possible, and to be honest i won't be surprised if he puts out another masterpiece. i just have a bad gut feeling, worse than the skepticism i had before 808s or yeezus.

    If auto tune doesn't suit Only One, what type of song would it suit exactly? "Ruined by autotune" lol...this feels like 2008, I thought we were past this

    No idea how All Day is repetitive when it goes from the verses (some of Kanye's most quotable in years) to its totally different Allan Kingdom/Theo hook/bridges to the totally different whistling interlude to the totally different spazzed-out, On Sight-style outro. Could it have been repetitive? Yeah, but that just...clearly isn't the reality

    I'll find it horrible actually.. only liked All Day so far, of course I don't care for new Kanye, so his best album to me has already been made 'College Dropout'
