Were we too harsh on Yeezus?
- Thread starter TI92
- Start date
I mean, he actually went full maga and hung out with alt-right dudes. You a fool for siding with him after that shit.
When a 3 minute song is too difficult for you to understand.
OP

Enjoying the music doesn't mean I side with him or accept him. Also 100% unrelated to the topic at hand.
Yeezus (the album) came out in 2013.
And yeah old heads definitely where too tough on it.
No. It got what it deserved - a fuckton of praise and a fuckton of criticism. It's a blatantly flawed album with mostly bad lyrics, but incredible beats.
The OP is 2 sentences but you had smang that reply button to talk about the alt-right.
Point still stands, Kanye is an asshole.

It's his last great artistic feat.
Lyrics were not great and smug as hell, but the minimalist Haxan Cloak / Death Grips-lite production on the LP won me over.

I'm not as high on the album as lot of people (I think its probably somewhere in the middle of his discography) but I loved everything around the album. The New Slaves projections, SNL, no album cover, and the tour. Especially after the build up to TLOP and Ye...lmao

the beats for new slaves and hold my liquor are so amazing.
Lol fuck off with that shit. That's literally the go-to argument for DCEU fans.
nah it's a masterpiece, and his second best album behind MBDTF. the length is absolute perfection, the beats are incredibly detailed and dynamic, the use of samples is masterful (as is the case with most kanye albums), and it's maybe his darkest album yet (808s is more serene than dark, at least to me).
The outros/beat switches all over this are amazing too. New Slaves with Frank and the Hungarian rock sample, Hold My Liquor's Mike Dean orgasmic guitar stuff, Cudi on Guilt Trip, and of course the "AND BREAAAATTHEEEEEE" stuff on Blood On The Leaves is still chills inducing

who is Kayne?
Who thinks it's awful? It's a highly critically acclaimed and successful album.
You are just full of yourself. Going from claiming that a song is too difficult to understand to now bad comprehension skills. Nice argument.
They really are.
Also - it's an audacious as fuck album. Blood on the Leaves is Kanye's most ambitious concept for a song - combining samples of Strange Fruit and R U Ready to make an epic 70mm depiction of an intimate relationship breakdown.
Oh, I'm sorry, auto-correct issue. Kanye West is an asshole. I corrected it so you can understand. I am sorry.
yep. critically acclaimed by most publications when it comes to reviews and ranking on end of the year lists. it's only polarizing among hip-hop fans, although i think its reputation is getting better as time goes on (at release tho, it was roasted by a lot of the non-music reviewing listening public)
god i wish we got that Blood on the Leaves music video directed by David Lynch, that song deserves more shine
You literally can not discern Yeezus, a character, from Kanye, a person. You also can't see how irrelevant and illogical your perception of an egomaniac is to the quality of a body of work. Then you get offended and draw up some random DC nerd shit that is completely irrelevant to anything being discussed here.
What is there to argue. "I don't like Kanye" isn't even an argument. You literally have not commented on the actual album at all in this thread.
whaaaaaaa
how can anyone hate on an album that has a track as powerful as "it's okay to cry". the whole album is really great but that song is heavenly and single handedly elevates the album to elite status
yeah people were suggesting that sophie is talentless and saying her music sounds like random noise and clanging pots and pans lol
Thread is about the 6th studio album from kanye west titled "Yeezus" (2013).
Yeah fixed. I also put a bear trap underneath the post to catch anyone who's late to correcting me.
I love Sophie, but she cannot sing. Immaterial, on the other hand, is the best track she's ever written.
very unwavy
i listen to Kanye's music despite the MAGA bullshit because the man made my favourite album of all time in MBDTF and i've listened to his music for over half my life; basically grown up on his music. i think it's damn near impossible for me to cut out his music from my life at this point
tbh, for better or worse, i don't think she ever gets the chance to show off her singing chops thanks to the usually overbearing and ear catching production, so it works for me
It's probably his best album. I change my ranking all the time, but this and MBDTF are most constantly in my top 3.
