Has The Pedestal Been Set Too High?
Although i am a fan of both Hov' and Ye, i was somewhat disappointed with this project. Maybe my expectations were too high. I felt as if i were listening to a "Twisted Fantasy" remix album, and don't get me wrong i loved Twisted Fantasy but, when you have two of the dopest artist in the game to collaborate you have high expectations and are going to be a tough critic. I was hoping for great soulful College dropout samples from Ye and Blueprint verses from Hov. As many know i am a hip hop artist and never try to come across with the biased opinion in the room, but i honestly felt that this album may have been rushed, or had too much anticipation so Kanye and Jay felt they could do whatever to please the fans regardless. Then again this was an experimental album and i was not 100 percent disappointed i just wanted more than what i got. The features were great but half of the battle was lost because of the beats selected and used. Flows and verses were acceptable but a great beat calls for an extraordinary verse from these two and the delivery was the same as Blake Griffen when he jumped over the car, very creative and dope but not worth all the hype.
