    This album is amazing.
    Seriously, I draw upon Kanye West and Justin Timberlake as influences.
    They are both enormously talented and have redefined style and suave-ness.
    Though many people hate the auto-sync voice West uses on the whole album, I think it gives it a smooth and neo-modern feel to it.

    His ego and his ability to act with everyone elses thoughts as minor detail make him fascinating to me..

    What are you thoughts on West, and his album too?

    auto-sync is the worst thing to ever happen to music...but that's just my opinion...it gives rise to crappy singers like Rhianna making money despite the extreme lack of talent...

    In other news, I also don't like Kanye West because he is a giant prick with an ego the size of Jupiter

    Not only that, but he uses a lot of samples in his songs too and then calls it his own. Quite unoriginal.

    Yeah, I was originally very adverse to the whole sampling thing...and I still generally don't like it...but it's sometimes pretty cool, although often just ends up butchering a good oldie by putting it into a new song
