wanderlust is a hit if he released it today. it's a damn shame
that track is so good if released today as a single I think it would be a organic hit, KINDA like Blinding Lights
yeah I think Yeezus highs are mind-blowing, like Blood On The Leaves... that track is a masterpiece
I remember hearing yeezus for the first time and thinking the people hating were tone deaf kanye was in the year 2030 straight cooking. Tlop was cool but yeezus was god level b his last great album imo.
In Rap:

i watched his zane lowe interview recently and he said that the album was a curveball so people wasn’t expecting an album that was an extension of trilogy and woulda been expecting an album like bbtm where he moves to pop. makes me mad that it flopped cos i’d love if he went in that direction now
Always felt like this was revisionist 🧢
Feel like no one was expecting him to go pop after Trilogy

when it first leaked in 2013 AND when he officially released it in 2019
Views for sure. People couldn't understand it when it was released but most people have changed their minds on it and love the album now
What exactly was there to understand?
It got a bit better but it’s still his worst album
you really think Thank Me Later is better than Views? 🤔
