He's a hyper deliberate dude and he gave us exactly what he wanted to of these songs. He didn't keep blowing past concrete release dates to just finally say f***it and release it before it was exactly what he wanted.

He could've retired after MBDTF and been the goat tbh... every album after that has just been a victory lap icing on the cake etc and I am grateful he's still making albums at all let alone s*** that moves me like this

Ok I'm not that fond of the kenny g moment tbh. Literal any other sort of Kanye style instrumental bridge would've been cooler.

You think "Follow God" sounds finished? Or "Closed on Sunday". Or "Everything We Need". The way he presents these songs would make me think there was more to go off of but couldn't think of anything and said f*** it I'll release it anyway.

Compare that to a short song like FSMH1, Feedback or Freestyle 4 and the difference is night and day.

yes I think they sound finished (besides the s***ty production)

just because they are short or more sparse than his past albums doesn't mean they aren't finished or sound any worse

i don't see why you have to compare it to those songs? might as well compare it to Lil Jimmy (Skit)

Comparing it to skits is not even in the same ballpark you weirdo.

rvi

5y

why compare it to the other songs? how does that make it sound different?

and why Freestyle 4 of all songs??? to me, that seems as "unfinished" and vignette like as JIK by your standards, just in a banger format

Galaxy

5y

I compared it to freestyle 4 because it is equally short as most jik songs duh.

Freestyle 4 actually sounds like it b was meant to be that way. Imo a few of the songs on jik do not do that.

We never gonna agree on this so stop pressing me. I've explained what I've meant already

Galaxy

I've always wanted an album to be the opposite of MBDTF from Kanye. 15 to 20 vignettes that flow as smooth as butter from one track to the next. Kinda like Madvillainy or XXX. I suppose TLOP was close to that in a way

rvi

5y

you just say it "sounds like it was mean to be that way" cuz you like it more

Galaxy

You're just projecting now though but ok. Freestyle 4 has a great buildup before going absolutely manic and wild and ending with that propulsive beat. The only thing that sound unfinished on F4 is the transition at the end. It would be perfect transitioning to Waves instead of I Love Kanye.

As an example of a short song on JiK that sounds complete, I'll use On God. Gets his point across and the music feels like it effectively drove the song to where it needed to me.

The way Closed on Sunday is constructed makes me feel like I didn't get the whole thing. It has a nice beat change and a few nice lines but it stops before it can go to some really insane levels of pathos.

rvi

5y

i see what you're saying but tbh i'm surprised you think On God sounds finished

did you ever listen to any of the leaks/yandhi s***? i havent but was gonna check em out

rvi

5y

agree. but i do appreciate the uniqueness factor, and i like the song otherwise.

it made me laugh first listen. its f***ing weird

Galaxy

5y

Yea i did listen to the leaks. A few nice ideas. Slave Name could've been a banger. New Body trash

Galaxy

beats on ye sound pretty lifeless though, they were specifically made as the backup rushed version of the original album
