However, Plagenhoef viewed West as "an entertainer and a perfectionist- a bang-for-your-buck guy" and wrote: "Those at this taping presumably got their money's worth." Track listing Club wrote that West "seems to violate the entire spirit of Storytellers" and expressed the viewpoint that "the rambling semi-stories here are disappointingly dull," while Rabin praised West as sounding "tight, accomplished, and polished to a blinding sheen" during performances of some tracks. In a highly positive review, Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly viewed West as rarely boring and wrote that he "doesn't so much tell stories as pour his id onto the stage in rambling, free-form fragments." Greenblatt continued, describing West's singing and speaking as being done "with a sort of messy, testifying fervor." Writing for PopMatters, Ross Langager branded West's performances on the album as "often-exciting" and opined that "the main appeal of this episode of VH1 Storytellers lies in West's idiosyncratic take on the vaunted 'storytelling' portion of the show."

Watch it, then download the mixtape I have also provided all the audio from the show (which isn't in original broadcast order). This is further evident by his VH1 Storytellers episode that aired this past Saturday, which I went ahead and posted in order of broadcast below. My point is, stop hating on this guy because, like it or not, he is styling on all of us. He makes sure his videos are never average or stereotypical, his image is daring, especially as far as rap goes, and he is one of the most honest lyricists working today. Yes, he has stupid beef with Thom Yorke right now, but he puts on amazing live shows to share his vast collection of hit songs while still trying to make interesting art.
