It blends what I love about other art forms like film and literature
But the feeling of the music is what pushes things forward. You can appreciate tracks as individual stories but it still has meaning as a complete body of work. If you can do it all without skits that's a huge accomplishment too. Don't mind if they are done well like in GKMC though, the skits make the album even better and are iconic.

It’s written about his dad death and all the secrets and truths his dad hid, and that he found out after he died.
Pretty good stuff

This. I’m trying to intellectualize it but it’s really just something you have to feel.
Mar 27, 2022·1 replyJonboiThe story of Yeezus. A monster awakens, goes through a dark tunnel, and finds Hope through love at the end. Along the way, battling addiction to sex, liquor, wealth, fame…. The album has a clear narrative arc, climaxing at Blood On The Leaves.
Eh it’s great that dissect made this theory but Ye himself just said he made it as a big f*** you to the industry and that’s pretty much it. Guilt Trip was even supposed to be for WTT.
