Probably. It might be one of the reasons they don't do 10.0's anymore. You have to remember, they shafted Funeral of a 10.0, and I'm sure they regret it.

Nicki Minaj on "Monster," Pusha T on "Runaway," and Raekwon on "Gorgeous" are my favorites.

I can't say it enough, but at least check out his first two albums. They're really amazing in a very different way.

I've heard that some people really hate Jay on "Monster." Kanye and Minaj dwarf him, but damn, I didn't think it was bad at all.

I had never even seen a shooting star before.

"Power" is definitely up there. Shit sounds huge.

I think with "Monster" Minaj gets the recognition she deserves, but Kanye's verse on that is probably his best on the album.

I was trying to predict the grade. I thought a 9.4 for sure because they need an album of the year (look at the other 9.0+'s, no way). Then I saw the BNM, of course. I clicked on it. I was so spooked by the score that I immediately clicked out of the tab. Then apparently I was vocal enough in my surprise to have

Along with some shit that most people probably don't know about (or that I can't remember)…

Favorite song on here?
Honestly, you could choose any of these songs, but what's your favorite?

I wouldn't give it a 10.0 either, but I'm actually kind of glad they finally did it. They chose a pretty damn good album to finally give it to, so I guess I'm satisfied.

It's about tied with The ArchAndroid for my very favorite of the year so far. I don't know if I like it more than The College Dropout or Late Registration, but man. It's definitely close.

10.0
10.0

Buy Body Talk, download the first two. I still like the way the first two flow a lot, especially with those acoustic numbers, which I actually sort of miss here.

I really wish "Cry When You Get Older" was on here, but oh well.

It is stronger over fifteen songs than Pt. 1 or Pt. 2 are over eight, and those were both solid as HECK.

Gen, I was gonna chew you out if you didn't GO FOR IT on this one.
Great call. Well-deserved A. This album is phenomenal.

god
