Aug 30, 2021It's such a boring album! That's all, just boring, nothing special. Sorry...
-
Nov 19, 2020Generic music, nothing special, typical Kanye egomania top to bottom, not worth the time.
-
Oct 23, 2020The album brings nothing special, just another attempt to say something original without the power to follow through with it.
-
Oct 2, 2020Unoriginal work, it feels like Kanye was trying to hard but the results did not pay out.
-
Sep 13, 2020This album just doesn't deliver to the promise of the singles. Not even Jay Z can save a Kanye project.

Jul 28, 2020Really bad result from this collaboration, Kanye is bringing the entire result down.

Jun 26, 2013Guy is such a tool it's not even funny.
He has no talent whatsoever.
Seriously people if you think this is music or that this guy is anything more than a hip-hop hack, you're delusional. -
Jun 12, 2013overrated and overhyped. kanye needs to stop focusing so much on himself and more on the music. Jay Z shines here. I was disappointed to see kanye take this direction.

Aug 23, 2011Terrible album. I tried so hard to like it, but I just could not. The only good tracks were No Church In The Wild, Why I Love You So, and New Day. All the other tracks suck. Jay-Z has been sucking as of late, ever since Blueprint came out. Blueprint was his last good album. Kanye West dropped down after one of the greatest albums of all time with MBDTF. Sucks man.

Aug 14, 2011The most disappointing album ever,this album was way over hyped and it didn't live up to its expectations,I'll even go further and say this is the worse Kanye album ever,this album had some much potential but in my opinion Jay-Z ruined it.

MagnetNov 11, 2011They turn out to be pretty good influences on one another. Jay sounds generally reinvigorated: good-humored, full of nimble, intricate wit and atypically emotionally revealing, and if Kanye's rhymes occasionally remain as clumsy and crass as his personal life choices, he drops far fewer boners than usual.

Q MagazineSep 21, 2011Hip hop heavy weights stop squabbling for long enough to justify their star billing. [Oct 2011, p.116]

Sep 12, 2011That Jay and 'Ye have the courtesy to stop rapping about their money and start attacking real issues--black-on-black crime in "Murder to Excellence," raising children on "New Day"--is icing on a very expensive cake.
