You can compare them and their varying tempos all you want while feasting on foie gras, but is the direct comparison a fair way to assess "Chain Heavy"?Icesickle wrote:LOL, but.
There's nothing soft about that beat. Those drums are epic, bro.
Are we supposed to only compare beats with the same tempo now? They were done for the same artist; I don't see what the big deal is.

No you don't have an ear for drums at all.Icesickle wrote:I must have alien ear drums or something, cause the beat for "My Chain Heavy" sounds like ass to me and is nowhere near as dope as the beat on something like "All of the Lights," which sounds like you could stage a Space Shuttle launch to it.
The piano stabs sound reminscent of EWS, but I don't know if it was a direct sample.Comedy Quaddafi wrote:Also, am I bugging or did he sample the piano from Eyes Wide Shut on Runaway? Ice diggy?
I need to do a Revisiting thread in CYE about EWS. Saw it again last weekend. I would kill to see that on Blu Ray. That movie is sooooo fucking underrated.

Yeah, good eye. We're derailing this thread, though, take it up in CYE before Ardamods shows up.Icesickle wrote:ICE EDIT to underrated?
Seeing it in the theater was a mixed experience cause I got visibly umad when 3/4 of the people in the theater were bitching about it sucking while walking out because they were disappointed it wasn't Basic Instinct 2 or some shit...
Music.
Judging it on its own merits, I think the beat for "My Chain Heavy" doesn't fit the subject matter at all and the Ed Wood sound effects are annoying. I was expecting a lot more from the song after hearing Kanye spit his verses to it acappella:
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/exNOyZ220jg?fs ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/exNOyZ220jg?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
The beat doesn't compliment, or live up to, the quality of Kanye's verses, which are some of the best he's ever spit.

Like someone (I think it was Comedy) said if you don't like this album you just don't like Kanye because Kanye's rapping is on par with anything he's ever done, especially on tracks like "Gorgeous."
