its def a forced comparison

Yeezus had critics on its side and not a single bad or mixed review from a notable publisher, songs people liked like Skinhead and BOTL, and an unreal cast behind the album, some of who took years to gain more popularity, by which time the sound of the album made much more sense. And 808's had massive hits that never died. The albums were just numbing for a lot of people and threw others off. Kanye's changes each album were MUCH more drastic than a Carti

I get people want to believe this could be some project thats months or years ahead of its time but it has a chance of also just being a project many don't will never like...which is fine.

first half sounds like describing WLR

and working like dying isn't on this

Yeah, I think I’m starting to fall out of love with this genre. Opinions like this can’t be allowed for real.

He’s got a point

Imagine comparing Kanye to garbage

There’s a mike dean sxn!?!?

They’re on multiple songs

U gaslighting me

not to mention this was his 4th project in 4 years coming off of several decade classics and club bangers with WTT and the hits from CS, and obviously MBDTF...it was jarring for audiences to go through the first 3 then see everything drastically change like that a year after making Mercy and Clique...

Yeezus really wasn’t panned like how WLR is rn

bro f1lthy is literally all over this

Yeezus was a great project but let's not pretend Sufjan Stevens wasn't experimenting with those same lush and exuberant sounds on The Age of Adz, 3 years prior.

Justin Vernon also happened to channel that style on 22, A Million on tracks like Deathbreast.

Ye may have brought the sound to a more mainstream audience but the blueprint had been laid years before.

like baella said this is more similar to MAYA when you came off the absolute high kala with top 10 hit and then you drop this experimental noisy rap record talking about topics which were fairly unexplored in hip hop and people only realise the greatness of it recently

artpop also had similar reaction with gaga fans and now people love that record

y’all are SMOKING CRACK comparing Carti to Thug and Kanye bro

Yeezus is full of new sounds and actually a very easy and entertaining to listen, while WLR is just tiring.

I feel like people put WLR up as experimental just because it's so loud and sometimes obnoxious, that they think if they can stomach it enough then it means they've learned a new sound.

I can easily imagine that such musically gifted person as Mike Dean just cringes at these 3 chords beats.

thank you

the age of adz is so good

impossible song

i dont think there's a lot of "new" sounds on yeezus

Yeezus ain't do s*** foh

Your not gonna ask which one is which

He said don’t compare cartis trash ass with YE ever again

working on dying is on a lot of WLR.... look at the credits
