    Truth is i have this on the least revisited kanye albums list..
    I never was into that sound of the album, meanwhile
    everytime i do revisit it i feel like the run from track 1-5
    is the best opening run in kanye's albums.
    The part when i start to wonder why i dont revisit this album more.
    Then Im on to track 6 and and still cant feel the rest of the album..

    Im totaly a split personality on this one. Thoughts?

    I felt that way at one point.
    Now it's one of my played albums, and I love every moment.

    RoboCop is Top 10 Produced Track by Ye. That beat is f---in' iconic as the whole album itself, to be honest. And it is easily the sonically supreme one on that particular project.

    Bad News is one of my favourite tracks on the album. :ohno:


    Honestly, when I first listened to this album I felt the same way for a while.

    Completely agreed, when rap had real beats and not a bunch of snaps and claps trap. But that hook f---ing turns me off from the song.

    the opening stretch is nice but SYW couldve been shortened by like 2 mins

    paranoid and robocop is a nice strong middle.

    the third act is a bit wobbly but still good

    I like all of SYW. I don't want it any shorter. Love the way the beat rides out like that
