And this is the sort of campaigning that Kanye decided to promote last night:




Yea I mean Candace Owens is a braindead self-serving disingenuous power-hungry monster who should be literally pilloried...and I don't think that kanye tweeting her name is about to make her suddenly capable of having any tangible success in pushing her agenda. Like do you really think any less than 95% of people who heard about her from ye (a population that was already small because the internet is an echo chamber and there aren't even that many people really on twitter in the first place) saw her and thought "this woman is stupid as fuck." Show me the waves of people flocking to her because of kanye and I'll recant

That was painful
From graduation to this shit

Where is the magic of tracks like Runaway or Jesus walks?

Maybe they're good things about this album though, it's short and the new neo-nazi will have to defend this turd

There is a difference between saying some shit and doing some shit.

I've always separated art from artists. You have to other wise you couldn't watch sports, turn on the tv or open a book.

For an artist, and even more so singers/rappers, saying some shit is their way of doing shit. You are denying the essence of music, that words have impact and meaning.

Shit is bad, yo.

The songs are just... not good. Not interesting lyrically... sonically... very little redeeming qualities here.

lmao, graduation is worse then this. grad has some good Shit and it captures that era of pop culture and rap quite well, but it's his weakest album and least ambitious rather easily imo

The outro on Ghost Town drags and did not need to be a 1:30+ in length.

I really feel like on repeat listens that's going to drag the song down.

Doesn't matter whether or not you claimed you were or weren't going to listen.

The fact that you listened still benefits a Trump Supporter. We're willing to boycott Bill Cosby and R.Kelly but not Kanye? C'mon son. The dude is foul. He doesn't need people showing up for his work, it just enables him to double down.
Is Kanye a rapist? Or a guy with stupid political views? And are lumping those together now?

yeah I love listening to Kanye's insecurities as a father in disturbing detail, as he describes how his 4 y/o daughter might have sex one day or develop curves.

it's that quality introspection we needed

Sigh.

Yeah, this is definitely his worst album.

It's got some good stuff but man, it's going to have very little replay and I think it will be fairly forgotten within a few weeks.

If you're going to have a seven track album, you better make sure each track destroys. Instead, it ends just as it feels like it's starting to pick up. I hate the seven track crap. I just want a new Kanye album with a standard length that isn't bogged down by editing the thing after it comes out.

Disappointed.

i like I Thought About Killing You, Yikes, Wouldn't Leave, and Violent Crimes. the rest range from ehhhhhhhhh to bad.

it's time for him to transition to producing full-time. get this Nas project out, make another album with Push, and reunite with Jay for one last hurrah. that's the best outcome at this point.

He did a bit more than tweet her name. Candace was one the influencers at his big event (celebrating the art but not the artist, right?) last night which anyone following her or Turning Point USA is now well aware.



That tweet has 23,000 likes. I'm guess at least a few of them are from actually undecided young people who now feel more comfortable with the reactionary right. How many events does Kanye have to use to spotlight people like Owens before this arbitrary art/artist distinction become untenable?

Ghost Town is better than most anything on Yeezus or TLOP, which the rest of the album was like it. I also like I thought about killing you and violent crimes

Let's be real guys. This album (more like an EP) is mediocre at best. It feels like Kanye is pulling out the various production tricks he's learned over the years out of his hat and try and do something. It's too short, and the first half is genuinely bad. Ghost Town is the best track on the record by far. Even still, it's just fine? There's very little going on lyrically on it. It's cool that he has some lyrics about family and stuff on the record, but the general record itself as a whole is meh.

MBDTF was Kanye was writing an opera.

Yeezus was Kanye deciding to go to a rave the following weekend.

TLOP was Kanye coming down from a shitty high after the rave.

ye is Kanye walking the empty streets of the city, getting some fresh air, clearing his thoughts.
