People think the album is entirely serious in its blown-out egoism but stuff like Bound 2's last lines r like tiny winks where ye's sayin that the entire album was made in complete self conciousness regarding his public perception. He's like acknowledging just how ridiculous the amount of praise he receives is while also just saying "fuck you, i'm gonna take it in anyways because i earned it"

and then the album is just like "in fact, im gonna make something so different from what i've done before that it'll amaze you when people love it anyways"

its genius

its rly the last album he made wit a super thought out and actually complete commentary under all of the music

deadass album of the decade suck my d*** ktt

blood on the leaves blassic

This been known from the moment we saw the album cover.

If Yeezus didn't come off the tails of MBDTF, and had maximalist production instead of minimal it would be great.

Subtext in the Bound video alone is goat level

So if it wasn't Yeezus

my sister was singing blood on the leaves i remember when i was picking her up from college so you know that s*** is fire

I'm convinced that Rick Rubin ruined this album.

Sad s*** is amazing

it was a needed natural progression in terms of the aesthetic and narrative timeline, and SHMG would've been even better than Yeezus hands down anyways

he wanted something to contrast with the warm, fuzzy velvet curtain that is MBDTF, and what better than the single razor sharp, cold laser against a white background that is yeezus

Yeezus was the perfect follow up to MBDTF.

Like following up Grad with 808s

Yeezus is one of the best albums of all time, period

It really is the perfect follow up

we r basically gonna have all of SHMG by like 2022 so we can ascertain that that s*** was blassic level

you have no clue, ma friend

Nah s*** was gonna be mid these leaks always make me glad he scrapped stuff.

Think of MBDTF and Yeezus mixed together.

I prefer them to be different

It makes sense for them to be different. But in an alternate timeline, Yeezus is maximalist.

u trippin bro the production was gonna be insane when u lined everything

Wolves
Can U Be
Black Bruce Wayne
Only One
All Day
God Level
All Your Fault OG
The Mind Is Powerful
Angels
Piss On Your Grave
FourFiveSeconds
FML
3500 OG
Fade
I Feel Like That
Mula
45

great tracks from the era imagine what the tracks we haven't heard sound like

The One I love could’ve been GOAT if he finished it

i hope we get that alternate extended yeezus rick rubin was talking about post-yeezus

he said they set up an OG version that exists, it's up to ye to release

Yeah the production but the album itself woulda sounded messy and unfocused.

Same as TLOP

Kanye really needs to put out a collection of unreleased s*** one day. I don't want to have to wait for him to die first

he owns his masters now so there will be a time when he releases his vault hopefully

lets just hope it's not posthumous
