Though I don't claim to know the subtleties of hip-hop, I've listened to a little bit, and wondering what it is about this particular album that makes it special? The Kanye I found on youtube was catchy but typical.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Because people don't like 5 year old orchestras. What's your point? Somebody did record an album of free improvising children (The Tangerine Awkestra, I am 90% certain everything surrounding it is a joke) and it takes a very special kind of person to enjoy that. 


Yeah, a lot of nothing in that post.

No.

I consider Katy Perry's Teenage Dream to be among the top 10 of the year.

Kanye has been close to my top 10 before, but just not with this particular album.

Never mind that. Album of the millenium. Such a talented man.

Yep, we really are in the opposite sides of the spectrum. Here is the best album of 2010 in my humble, subjective and personal opinion:

Nope not really. I just like more styles than you do.

No. I really love "All of the Lights" and "Lost in the World," but a lot of the stuff in the middle is just...meh.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Well I must admit that Kanye West is generally OK, (at least compared to other rappers/hip-hopers well known in public as in the MTV. His music is a bit different by my standards, and his new albums seems nice, (I watched Runaway video clip, at least the clip was great, very aestetique.)
