God bless however who told him it wasn't a good idea

"Thank God For D****" was a hard title

this was hard af

you like phil collins

Wish I knew

Loved that title

But it was a good idea

Woulda been amazing

The set design in that skit is impeccable

Wait it isn’t?

actually would have probably helped the albums critical reception.

The key to yeezus is the semi-ironic semi-comedic tone. Outrageous offensive bold bars over offensively hard beats. Yes "put my fist in her like the civil rights sign" and using "free at last" to talk about p**** is wild but it's wild intentionally.

American psycho seems like some crazy ass murder flick at first look but it's really a self-aware comedy, and seeing it as such is key to appreciating it. Maybe naming the album "Black American Psycho" would have meant people picked up on the self-aware ironic tone of Yeezus faster instead of being stupid and going "did you hear he said I am a God wow this f***ing guy"

Fr it’s so weird to think ppl still classify American Psycho as a horror movie when it’s literally the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. I always thought of Yeezus as the soundtrack to American Psycho. The Yeezus character Kanye portrays on the album is sort of like a Patrick Bateman that’s more into s***than killing tbh.

Word that or African American psycho would’ve hit but I still like it. I remember this trailer too but forgot about it till now lol

yeah exactly lol

yeezus to this day gets reactions like "oh but the bars are so offensively bad" like being outrageous isn't the point. The tone flew right over everyone's heads. When everyone was making fun of the Bound 2 video like "oh my god look how campy it is wow" also completely missed the point, like yes, its on purpose lmao

What exactly wasn’t a good idea?

It was a commercial. Good promo. He dropped it and it did what it was supposed to do. It’s not like he was planning a movie and scrapped it. Don’t get what you mean.

would have honestly been insane that trailer is so good lol

black people can’t make camp unless it’s as obvious as black dynamite (not hating that amazing movie)

Terrible acting, good lord.

would love to believe ye directed this bc it’s so good

he was at his creative peak here fr

yeezy season 1 was insane, the music was insane, the live performances was insane

wish i was old enough to experience it more, i was just a chronically online kid who loved the aesthetics of it all but imagine going to the new slaves premiere in ur city or a yeezus tour show

“Whole family getting money thank god for E”

I love Phil Collins

This would be a good video if it wasn’t acted so terribly and over the top

Scott’s voice in it is so annoying

Dude I'm talking about the name
