DJ Envy for one isn’t interested in partaking in the love fest and won’t even listen to the album as he’s soured on Kanye West in recent years going so far as to call him a “circus clown with the stupid jacket and big shoes.” But his The Breakfast Club co-hosts Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God have taken in the album in its entirety and while they do like the project, The God called it “lackluster” and like many of us they felt it was a tad bit too long. “I think if you scale the project down to like 12, 13 records, it can be a great ...
