i enjoy songs from both too but it didn't even feel like a natural progression for him. two bumps in the road. when did you start to lose hope? or did you ever lose hope?
I never lost hope with Wiz, he releases so much material a downfall was bound to happen with the popularity he had. But when he released Khalifa with that G easy rip-off track I lost interest for a while. Just need another Wiz x Curren$y project like 2009
Edit: That G-Eazy rip-off track was def his washed moment for me
The fact that the revisionist history and d*** sucking on this polarizing release has gone so far that y’all think not praising it is trolling is laughable
Still a great album but as a fan since Graduation it was a very clear decline and was obvious where things were going (less focus on music, less perfectionism)
Ok CLB man
Many Men and the song w thug some of his best songs ever
Brand new draco and snitches and rats some of his worst
cringe that people went to a theater for that instead of spamming smilies on ktt with the rest of us
That’s the thing, I went to the cinema to watch it
i could see someone saying the sloppiness of TLOP release would be troublesome, or just Ye overall
but not yeezus
JiK? and the trump d***sucking era? yeah washed vibes
Yeezus was the first rushed album, not as sloppy as TLOP but the raps and ye’s performance overall is as last minute and weak
TLOP.
Dont care what you d***riders say or excuses, and no, it isnt "just bad for kanye". Its a mediocre album period.
Most of it is decent to just bad with only a few great things & overall just messy.
The exact start of the Kanye twilight years in music.
I see yeezus as the last normal Kanye era. He was still on his perfectionist s*** with that album and it was still cohesive, just very stripped back compared to previous work. TLOP was the beginning of that weird, last minute, manic phase-induced drops of material that doesn’t really feel fleshed out
I used to think TLOP's rollout was intentionally chaotic. I remember the rumor that Khaled had known the initials were TLOP since Fall 2015 (meaning he wasn't changing the name from swish to waves to tlop in the span of a few weeks like it seemed) and the comparisons to Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. I'd thought it was all supposed to mean something. Then the rest of the year came and went, he ended up at UCLA hospitalized. Came out with bleached hair and went MAGA and every album since has felt rushed so I guess it really was just a clusterfuck and has been a downward spiral ever since
first time he came off as a bitter old head.
scratch that, "30 something" was the first.
I'm still here (yeah) still here like Mike
Gotta stop playin' with these children (chea)
honestly though the yandhi leaks and ksg prove ye could still make amazing music if he wanted to but his focus is elsewhere so when he does drop it's just mediocre at best
Brand new draco and snitches and rats some of his worst
They aren’t great, I’ll give you that. I’ve got a soft spot for snitches and rats though because I was so taken aback by that Morgan Freeman skit on my first listen
i talked to @GreedyFatApe about this before because i believe he's a big fan of it too. although it had a few highlights i thought it was disjointed, aimless, and like cam was reaching for a younger audience instead of just staying true to his artistry. i hate when artists pander to a crowd that couldn't give two s***s about them.
with that being said, this aged wayyyyyyy better than i thought it would.
