From the Ben Affleck hosted SNL earlier this year, so the language is OK. Once again, Kanye puts out one of my favorite albums of the year.

As with yesterday, this isn't my usual cup of tea, but I can definitely appreciate all the energy Kanye brings to the performance.
I don't know how I've missed it, but this may be the first time I've heard this song in its entirety. Nice pull.
I didn't hear a ton of singles off of his album this time around. His previous one, I did, and enjoyed them. I should check more of this year's out, I suppose.
There were supposed to be no singles, but then he/label decided to release a radio edit for this to stations, now a video for Bound 2.
Other highlights: Blood On the Leaves, Bound 2, New Slaves, On Sight (I might prefer the instrumental, the lyrics are bad).
If I have time for tomorrow's FMD column, I may put more thoughts there.
This is probably my second favorite Kanye album (I'm one of those weirdos who adores 808s and Heartbreak), I recommend it highly. It's not a terribly fun listen, though.
I think 808s is my favorite too. This may just lose out to College Dropout for #2 due to nostalgia tinting my view.
I have never listened to Kanye beyond what I hear on other people's radio and such. This was much better than I expected, I liked it.
