why is almost all the Questionable section In Bold? Also Why I Think The D6 In I Thought About Killing You Is Just A Sound Effect Coding accidents happen, and it's consistent with his other screams (to my ear, at least). |

My guy, where is the strong AF, sung, interview E2 from my old thread? Also, where are the good ass voice types?? And I'd like to get a timestamp on that Slow Jamz D2, if you don't mind. As far as vocal summaries go, Timi's is still GOATed, so I see no reason not to use his. Other than that, nice thread, keep on being a nice individual and have an awesome day  I'll add the assorted curiosity notes in due course  So are these ever gonna get added or nah? |

The B♭4 in the Blood on the Leaves Later at Jools Holland performance is also hit in the studio version.

Several F#4s here, followed by B4s and a C5. Not sure what song it's from though:

Bold suggestion: This strong C3 from Ghost Town. I might be biased because this song is so emotional for me, but I think this is one of his best low notes. He even hits it again earlier in the verse. |

Dropping in from the abyss to say that this thread is also up for adoption as I haven't notewatched in quite some time. Here are the copy-pasted rough beginnings of a vocal analysis, and some bold suggestions if anyone wants to finish this one up. Hope you're all keeping well {Vocal Summary ideas}On "The College Dropout" rapped mostly in the third octave. Sounded very solid melodically down to A2 in the lead vocals, as well as occasional sung melodies in the lower fourth octave. "Last Call" had some lead vocals around G2/G♯2, but sounded thinner than his other low lead vocals. He also had some surprisingly strong overdubbed vocals down to D2, albeit with a more affected tone, such as in "The New Workout Plan". His high vocals were very limited on the first album, with high melodies topping at E♭4, but showing some control over spontaneous ad libs in his register.
On "Late Registration" focused his vocals more on the rap side of things, with melodies coming from more often from his high-profile guest features, such as CeeLo Green and Brandy. His lower register continued to sound solid in the upper 2nd octave/lower 3rd octave, and had little in the way of higher vocals, aside from a breathy, ascending passage in "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", touching B4s and C5s, though evidently out of his comfort zone, and the now-iconic, giddy exclamation in "Hey Mama". Explored more of a mixed voice sound on "Celebration" reaching some smooth A4s.
"Graduation" marked the transition from "the old Kanye", introducing more prominent use of sythesizers and production techniques borrowed from electronic music. Delegated more of his melodic hooks to guest features, with very little melodic singing from himself. No high lead melodies at all.
808s sees Kanye's first exploration of his natural singing voice, singing melodies in the mid-fourth octave much more regularly, and sounding comfortable down to G2 in lead vocal melodies. Agility down to Gsharp2 in "Street Lights". This was also the beginning of Kanye using autotune on his vocals, giving them an electronic quality. Also took his ad-libbed howls into the 6th octave, showing more control over them than on previous records. Natural, Frank Ocean-esque agile tenor in the mid-fourth octave.
Fewer melodic vocals on "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" again, with more vocals outsourced to guest features. "Runaway", however, showcased an agile and emotive use of his belting register, skillfully handling melodies centred around Gsharp4 in what is often seen as his greatest vocal take, if not his most accomplished track in general.
Better controlled screams on "Yeezus" than on previous albums, even sounding a tad Patton-ish in the second half of "I Am a God". An impressive passage of melodic singing up to Csharp5 on "New Slaves". Emotive singing and better displays of sustain in both his lower and higher registers in "Blood on the Leaves".
"Life of Pablo" had some good agile singing down to G2 on "30 Hours".
The Ye album had a lot less singing, or even rapping, with long spoken-word passages. "Ghost Town", however, featured some organic, unprocessed singing from C3-G4.
Mike Patton-esque noise vocals on "Kids See Ghosts" eponymous album. "Cudi Montage" had one of Ye's strongest low passages, solid down to Fsharp2.
One of his most soulful singing displays on "God Is" from "Jesus Is King", sounded like he was getting a bit raspy and hoarse at the end.
Donda. Good agility on melodies centred around Gsharp4 on "Jail" and "New Again". Good agile melismas through his registers on "Remote Control" and "Lord I Need You". More percussive Pattonesque noise singing on "Heaven and Hell". "Come to Life" perhaps Ye's most technical vocal performance of all, making light work of agile melodies up to Bb4. {bold contenders}

I'd like to do something with this once I'm finished with my higher-priority claims, though if anyone else feels really strongly about adopting this rather than me, I don't mind. Just let me know so I don't get too far into work. :)
