Yeezus is great. This isn't.This album was just... okay.
But seeing how there is a large contingent on this forum that thinks Yeezus was anything but a landfill on wax, I'm not surprised about the KTT-esque aura of this thread.
Maybe no one attempted it because it's hard to make 5 great albums in a short amount of time. It's a cool gimmick, but not really impressive since some of these songs sound like demos/rough drafts.Listen man, the dude released 7 full length albums before this.
I have no problem with him trying something new/experimental with this release roll out. Releasing 5 albums in the span of five weeks with some of the biggest names in rap with your name attached to them is nothing short of a huge feat. Who else attempted something like this? No one.
That's why it's interesting.
Thank god..
Would rather hear about his mental health issues, would probably explain his political views.
Mod title edit is trash, I don't think it's necessarily worse than TLOP.
Daytona and Ye plays actually pretty well back to back.For me even if it's amazing, 20 odd minutes of new music isn't enough. It's like half of a meal. Give me at least 40 minutes. I want new albums to feel like an event.
Is it? With that big ass warning at the top of the OP and your opinion on the album in the title? (or maybe someone else's opinion, IDK)
too true :'(Hahaha, it's fine. I only posted that becuase I looked up how long along Stan (the song) released.

Sounds like they did it in one take. It could be a great song if it's re-recorded.The "yikes" beat is tough af. "Yikes" and "No Mistakes" are my favorites by far. I really don't understand the "Ghost Town" love here. Some of those vocals are real uneasy on the ears

I guess I didn't see it like that. That bar said something like imagine how it would feel if they caught him on a wild day so wouldn't that mean he was aware/levelheaded when he was on TMZ?
This is a reasonable perspectives too, it could just be him expressing self-righteousness.I don't think he is though? He contextualizes his comments in relation to his mental disorder, but still almost feels like he embraces that type of behavior while acknowledging the consequences it may have. I don't sense a regretful tone, especially with the George Jetson/Jefferson line right after that: he still believes in his BS, but his ways of expressing them get questioned.
The more I sit on it, the more I enjoy the album.
Back half is stronger than the front half, with All Mine and Ghost Town being the standouts. I liked it, even though it felt like a watered down 808s.
My rankings are:
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Late Registration
808s & Heartbreak
The College Dropout
Ye
Yeezus
Graduation
The Life of Pablo

Dead to me. I can't do this garbage.

On "Wouldn't Leave," Kanye repeats his claim that slavery was "a choice" and alludes to the fallout from comments like this. But he never clarifies his line of thinking, essentially skirting complex discussion about politics altogether. Coming from the same artist who made such bold statements about race with "Blood on the Leaves" and "New Slaves" two albums ago, ye leaves something to be desired on this particular front.
Huh? I love those albums and hate this. Actually, the more I listen to it, the more I hate it lol
I'm... not sure I follow your post outside of frustration directed at me.
Allow me to be a super contrarian and say:
Yeezus
MBDTF
YE
TLOP
808's
And nothing more
