aren't they all up on Kanye's site still?

 

[Underload]

Yeah, but the tagging is inconsistent and it's a pain to download and tag them all

 

[T3h Albino]

Quoted for agreedness.

Didn't expect you guys to unanimously like it. I may have to give it a listen.

You weren't going to anyway?
....seriously Matador?

OMFG Guys... this was just posted on my wall and is absolutely amazing.

This was really witty though, I liked it =]

Aight so Nicki's album...is probably the first Time I have ever added every song from a females album to my ipod

i mean every track wasn't great...but they weren't bad either

in-fact Nov 22 was a good day for CD's

I added
Kanye's Album, Nicki's Album, and Ne-yo's album

You's best not be trollin TK, I'm bout to download it right now...

OH ****!

*Goes to Itunes n get Nicki's album*

I don't keep up with when CD's come out.

Edit: And Neyo's.

Edit: And Banks's/Loso's

Helll yea? Fab is mainstream but he's great at what he does. SHOEICIDE anyone? I'll def be checking Loso's Way 2.

Same for Banks.

I think MBDTF is pretty great, if you haven't noticed

If you guys want, I can put up a Mediafire link to all the G.O.O.D. Friday songs, ordered by release and tagged correctly. They're all available as free downloads on the web, so there's nothing illegal about it.

yessss do it! :D

 

[SOVAman]

Yes @ underload

<333

 

[Underload]

Kk, uploading.

I usually remove the (feat.) section of a song title, so if you REALLY want the other contributing artists in the title / artist field, just take a look at the album art and add 'em in. They're all there.

 

[@TKbreezy]

@Alby

you realize I listen to hella music...so my opinion on rap is usually not too good but even if I'm wrong I don't think you will hate the album.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Pink Friday is not bad. It's growing on me a lil. it's not as amazing as I hoped but it's pretty solid for the most part

 

[o-Serin-o]

Pink Friday is legit as ****. I've mentioned this 4 times iirc.

 

[Underload]

http://www.mediafire.com/?qy8o2i5c4ccvz

That should do it.

 

[~N9NE~]

Appreciate it Underload, listened to a few but if I'm not feeling them I doubt I'll check the album. Some songs are on the album, correct?

Also, Fab is lol. Currently, he's really not impressive but he does make music that's easy to listen to. I think he's overrated. His Desert Storm days were his best.

Two of those songs are on the album (3 if you count Monster which isn't up anymore. So Appalled and Devil in a New Dress). If you're gonna discount the entire actual album based on two tracks (DIAND is also very different on the album) I feel bad for you

 

[~N9NE~]

Nah, I just thought it was more than that. I thought Kanye had released most of the album tracks as part of the GOOD Friday series, guess not.

Edit: Power, Runaway and Gorgeous were circulating a good while before the album too right? That's what I must have been thinking about, add those to the other three and that's quite a lot, nearly half the album. I think even a couple more maybe were out too.

 

[Underload]

Yeah, I'd put Monster up in that folder, but it's not out for free anymore, and I don't feel like taking any risks, even if they're minimal ones.

 

[Hitman JT]

Just comin in here to say...
Kanye's album is apparently getting 4 and 5 star ratings everywhere. So i'm about to check it out and see if they're justified. Until I do I still stand by Sir Lucious Left Foot being hip hop album of the year.

Nicki Minaj is growing on me. Like when she first got popular her voice irritated me to no end and she seemed like just another Lil Kim "ghetto but girly" wannabe. That verse on Monster changed my mind...

Oh and whoever said Joell Ortiz is overrated a buncha pages back is lying @_@

 

[Matador]

Nah, Joell Ortiz is good for awhile when you're first getting to hear him.

It takes a year or so before you realize he's the largest one-trick pony to ever pick up a microphone.

 

[~N9NE~]

Joell thinks he's better than he is.

Ayo, Premier and Royce are going to be in London next week.

CAN I GET A YAOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?!?!

 

[T3h Albino]

Lol, how's he a one trick pony?

 

[~N9NE~]

The Brick was Joell's best project to date. 125 Grams 1-4 are great songs. But after that, nothing is THAT good.

A large majority of his content is about how good he is, and when he repeats that subject matter on practically every song it gets repetitive, there's only so many times you can say it on a track and I won't get bored. Other regular topics are getting his mother out of the hood. Fair enough on one song but he mentions it so much. Add the fact that he has some really corny lines on a regular basis and it gets old. I know it's a criticism you can direct at a lot of others but Joell is a classic example. He does it very well at times, I like the recent Battle Cry and when he strays from such matters I often like it. But he doesn't consistently drop something that really grabs my attention for a long time.

Cover The Classics was an original idea but it got old quick and could have been executed better. Roadkill was average. I like his work with Novel at times.

His rhymes are really basic at times, he really isn't the elite MC he thinks he is.

More importantly, I just realised I'm going to see the greatest producer of all time live. LOL.

 

[MBlaze]

I just wanna listen to pink friday, not download it because if I do I'm not buying it.. lol I bought enough this week nothin against Nicki.

EDIT: God****, is it me or it got much harder to download an album? Seems like they crackin down on this **** now.

 

[Niko45]

Joell is the stand out in Slaughterhouse imo. He's not 100% there yet but he has the potential to be big.

 

[rhan]

Pink Friday is a pop album.

I haven't gotten to hear ever single song from Neyo's album yet though.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Nah, I just thought it was more than that. I thought Kanye had released most of the album tracks as part of the GOOD Friday series, guess not.

Edit: Power, Runaway and Gorgeous were circulating a good while before the album too right? That's what I must have been thinking about, add those to the other three and that's quite a lot, nearly half the album. I think even a couple more maybe were out too.

Yeah, and if you saw the Runaway movie that is a peek at most of the songs on the album. Again, most of those tracks are changed up and improved a lot as well.

At this point, I think the only particularly weak track is Gorgeous. It's listenable and has some great lines ("what's a black Beatle anyway, a ****in roach?") but it's just kinda boring compared to everything else.

and as mentioned earlier, Raekwon's verse is like complete nonsense. It sounds cool but I have no clue what the hell he's talking about.

though, I still think the Power remix with Jay is better than the original.

l.

sounding cool is all the matters when your making music.

imo



just in case anyone missed this album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3quWP2-n9E

its pretty good.

 

[S l o X]

Saigon was in a few Entourage episodes.

I liked one of his songs but never gave him a listen.

Whoever recommend the producer music, they know good.

 

[MBlaze]

Well listened to Pink Friday... she got some good stuff on here but songs like Last chance she need to scrap..

Songs I liked most:

Roman's Revenge
Save Me
Moment 4 life (liked the most)

I think I forgot one but oh well. It was average though, wish I could say more.

 

[Y.b.M.]

I like that Fly song with Rihanna on it... those other songs are among my favorites....

 

[Luigitoilet]

I really like Roman's Revenge a lot, minus the kinda lame beat and the occasional corny as hell Em punchline

"I am not Jasmine, I am Aladdin"

that ****'s boss i don't care what you say

 

[rhan]

I don't like Roman's Revenge.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Roman's Revenge had to grow on me. I like it now.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Kanye has already sold more than 500k 3 days in.

Nicki, about 300k to 400k

its pretty good.

didn't like the first few atmosphere tracks I heard so never got into them.

but I'm feelin this.

some more of your faves please

 

[Linguini]

LOL I perfectly understood what raekwon was rapping about in Gorgeous, this thread is surprisingly weak in terms of wu tang fans.

Edit :Been listening to Bank's album a lot. It's pretty sick, banks is always on point with the lyricism and the sound resembles HFM which is good.

So Forgetful, Start It Up, and Unexplainable are my fav tracks on the cd.

 

[Jane]

this thread is surprisingly weak in terms of wu tang fans.

i kno rite

 

[Niko45]

^Yea I had no issue with the Raekwon verse. I was honestly surprised how well it meshed with Kanye's stuff.

Some of my favorite atmosphere tracks:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6-wjxeaTOY&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS_3pED-wJo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekivast3QX0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-9nbwHQPKA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlEQza8I91I

I feel like atmosphere is hit or miss a lot, but when they're on point, it's great.
