    Kanye's at the forefront of this album. Little to no features, and whoever is featured is just added as a sonic texture. On MBDTF there's too many features that take away from Kanye's lyrics and his persona.

    On Yeezus Kanye is his angriest, most upfront and blatant, holding nothing back. No melodrama, just really hard sounds up front in your face, distortion on everything.

    The production of Yeezus still to this day hasn't been replicated in the same way. Kanye took these industrial producers and made an album that sounds like the precursor to all this Soundcloud rap we hear today.

    I think Yeezus is more influential than MBDTF because now any bedroom producer can make these hard distorted beats but don't have the sort of epic production and string arrangements we saw on MBDTF. The production on Yeezus is so much more raw.

    I know people say 808's is the precursor of modern Rnb which is true, so I think Yeezus is the precursor to modern rap/hiphop.

    Yeezus influenced the SoundCloud aesthetic more than the music imo

    Yeezus is wayyyy more sophisticated and based in More Euro electronic subgenres

    counter argument: he uses and implements these features into his world so they share his vision and don't sound out of place

    being angry, upfront and blatant isn't a positive thing or negative.
    yeezus production was a thing before the album came out, therefore any influence in music nowadays can't be solely credited because of yeezus.
    and yeezus production is just OK

    I see what you mean. Like the sentiment of Yeezus carried over more than the actual detailed/ experimental production.

    Kanye was a vessel for popularizing that more experimental sound though. Ofc he didn't invent it.
