We're both hip-hop nerds. We're fascinated by that Big Pun "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It (Remix)". We're brothers in hype. It was only natural that RefinedHype linked up with The Hypemen (a.k.a. the good folks behind ItsTheReal and Jensen Karp) to become the official download source for their dope podcast series. Following last week's fascinating show Hannibal Buress, we pick up with episode fifteen.....

EPISODE 15: In this special all-Kanye episode, David Cho, Ye enthusiast and publisher of The Awl, joins the Hype Men to discuss My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy + Nicki Minaj's intro + Kanye the person vs. Kanye the artist + Kanye's impact on Jay-Z + Runaway: the film + how Kanye's albums rank + whether G.O.O.D. Fridays were successful + what songs we'd be okay with never hearing again + more!

uglylovely	on the subject of best kanye album... i would have to say late registration

I think the album is one of the first to fully blend a slick, forward thinking pop record with hip hop. Sorry, N*E*R*D.

My biggest problem with it is the few moments of self-indulgence or just lack of focus. The Chris Rock skit, the 3 minutes of overdriven autotune at the end of Runaway, and Nicki's intro just didn't need to be there. I could have done with a few less guest verses too.

But that said, there's not a single low point as far as the songs go. Great production, hooks, etc.

Nathan S.	Just dropped my review on DJBooth, but I have to almost completely agree with CR. It's not perfect, nothing is, but it's more than an album, it's a cultural event.
