(first impression album review)

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

by Kanye West

 

Rating 9/10, (maybe even a higher rating, I got to listen to it more) 🙂

 

Quite Classic Hip Hop Album…Loved it…

Kanye put in the quality production, instrumental additions and gave off a very passionate feel and personal touch.  The song layout is quite smoothing into each other.

 

He starts of Crazy and Dark, then moves in to Instrumental and classic Hip Hop, then into Lyrical Mastery with his guest features, then gets very personal and Insightful, then into Comical and Funky, then ends off Powerful and Strong…

 

My Favorite tracks are:

“Gorgeous” (featuring Kid Cudi & Raekwon),  <—(Kid Cudi is the Effin Dude)

“Hell of a Life”   <—-(this sh*t is so dope, the beat is CRAZY!!!)

“Blame Game” (featuring John Legend) <—-(quite comical, feats. CHRIS ROCK)

 

and of course you not messing with these BANGERS

“All of the Lights” / “Monster” / “So Appalled”
