Chicago
Keepin' perfect composure
When I scream at the chauffeur
I ain't mean, I'm just focused
I ain't mean, I'm just focused
Pour the lean out slower
Got us clean out of soda
Before the flood, people judge
They did the same thing to Noah
Everybody wanted Yandhi
Then Jesus Christ did the laundry

This album, land he bought, Sunday chuch thing and promotional tour screams tax fraud and trying to reverse the MAGA stuff.

Best Kanye is when hes upset legitimately or feels slighted for not getting a Grammy or award. The last few albums feel like hes rushed them out, even with delays. It doesnt help that everyone around him are Yes men. None of the people working on the albums since Yeezus have actual careers without Good Music now. Even Nas, Cudi and Pusha have released trash the last few years without Ye's fingerprints on them.

Someone like Jay and 50 need to push this dude into a new era of music.
He's trying. Explains working with 69/lil peep and now this. He's just an old dad now and all the hunger is gone. He used to set trends, but now he's just following them.

Honestly, it's fine that he releases mediocrity. Whatever on that. It's more the Trump stuff that continually just makes me shake my head. How can dude not see it? Maybe he's just too far gone into domesticated Calabasas life now.

It's just sad and a waste of talent. Dude supplied the music and soundtrack to so much of my life (and a lot of ppls lives) and that person is now apparently long gone.

Follow God is pretty good (kinda like MBDTF ye) but why is less than 2min wtf. The mixing is pretty trash.

i keep going back to this part from the pitchfork ye review:

But I can admit that after ye ended unceremoniously the third or fourth time, I put on "Family Business," and I thought about the kid from Chicago who wanted to be the biggest rapper in the world, who now lives in an empty-looking concrete mansion in Calabasas, who has stopped trying.

it's fuckin painful

As someone barely into rap but who appreciates well produced beats...
*skims some YouTube uploads*
...eh, Kanye's done much better before. I'll go back to Tyler, the Creator for now.

tyler's the new fave for sure. his albums have replaced the top class rapper/producer void left by maga ye.

But yeah I'm going to listen to this.

I'll always be a sucker for creative sampling mixed with original production elements (grew up into dance, then extreme techno genres, then extreme metal, and now I'm settled into funeral doom metal). There's something about Tyler and his music that reminds me of art house films, Z-tier horror movie scores and Ed Wood.

This is noticeably better than Ye, lots of hyperbole going on in here, but that's the easy route.

I'm sorry but why are folks giving money to a Trump enabler ? Isn't it hypocrisy to the max ? In fact why are we giving attention to a bigot enabler

Only two songs in at the moment...

Every Hour has a nice melody and the general idea of it is kinda cool. Production is kinda weak though, sounds clipped in spots and doesn't really have a lot of dynamic to it. Not sure if that's intentional or not, the mix just sounds flat.

I will say, Gospel music as it might be interpreted by Philip Glass is one of those things that when I put it into words, like, of course I'm gonna like that.

I can't put my finger on it. but its just something not right with it. like I think its Pusha T (?). His verse in particular sounds like he was a yard too far from the microphone. And like I honestly don't know if like were supposed to hear Kenny G tapping on his sax. I don't know if that's just good music or what? but I find it kind of distracting.
It's an good track. The problem is Kanye's singing.

Anyone saying this is trash (at least sonically) is something else. At the very least, it's decent. Yeezus is still his worst album.

This isn't that bad. I just don't by this devout follower business. But what Christian isn't full of s***?

This isn't BAD, but it's not good. I honestly expected worse, but don't think I'll ever spin this again.

What's the best song? I'll start with that.

Best song as in listenable or best song as in "holy fucking shit this is the stupidest goddamn thing I've exposed my ears to this side of prager u clips from twitter and I genuinely needed to listen to this just so I could believe it's actually real" because the latter is Closed on Sunday

Okay, what the fuck is going on with the lyrics in Closed on Sunday? The down tempo instrumental and backing chants are kinda nice but that Chic-Fil-A lemonade bar is just...

Fuck man 🤨.
