Sometimes he’s more subtle: 2002’s God’s Son, released exactly a year after he telegraphed a return to form on Stillmatic, feigns the same sort of legacy burnishing but is really an album about his mother’s death. At his most overt (he called an album Hip Hop Is Dead in 2006 and tried to call another Nigger two years later), the iconic Queens rapper will trace one idea from a dozen different angles, writing high-concept Fox News disses or rapping like a 1920s bootlegger.

'But 28 songs with all the part twos, an hour 48 minutes, it's too long and it drags to me.

However, Charlamagne added that if Kanye removed at least 12 songs on the album, it would have been 'a great album.' So, like Kanye West, it can be exhausting.' 'Upon first listen, it was lackluster for me upon first listen,' he said.
