of course you don’t like my favorite Kanye album

Yeezus is literally the only Kanye album i regularly spin

i love that project so much

nigga said TMS on a good day TMS clears Yeezus’ prod without a sweat bro im sorry to say it

Album gives me these vibes

"Anti-System"

Are we purely talking about production here, or the albums as a whole. Because I think Yeezus is a better album as a whole

yall be so mad when people have an opinion lol

Honestly that drop doesn't hit as hard as I remember

Astroworld for sure

Absolute classic

Real friends > Astroworld

2 each their own i guess

Kanye is a rich narcissistic religious a****** and when he's trying to portray himself as anything other than that, save for his mourning of the loss of his mother on 808s, he just sounds like he's full of s***, either when he's trying to be a cuddly dropout bear or some edgelord adult version of a Tumblr kid who just found out what EBM and Hood By Air was

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 would smash

how is this supposed to be a put down

kiss my tip

The entire point of Yeezus is to demonstrate the wrongness of this take. Maybe there's some irony to that

i thought we meant solely prod, i wouldn’t be mad if someone said Yeezus was better as a whole tbh

mind elaborating? because ngl outside of say Black Skinhead and New Slaves the writing is either borderline satirical or just average on that project lol

New Slaves gotta be one of my favorite songs ever made, s*** is an industrial rap masterpiece

I’m sorry man

I guess the way I interpreted the question is just focusing on beats alone as opposed to the finished song/with vocals added; I think Feedback and Freestyle 4 are pretty basic beats that are, in their finished form, much more interesting. (which is fine since the actual song is what is important).

by contrast with tracks 1-4 and 10-the end, I think the beats are much more grandiose/maximalist/epic-sounding, which works better for me

highlights is closer to that but I never liked the beat as much

anyway it's a great album, just nitpicking at the top really

I think Yeezus is about how narcissism and ego are used (poorly) to mask trauma. This is also why the Yeezus Tour is organized the way it is IMO.

I don't think this is some super secret hidden meaning, it's actually very obviously the subject matter of the emotional core of the album (Guilt Trip, HML, BOTL).

Also why IAAG ends with the breakdown / heavy breathing thing.

would you say WLR kind of fits this descriptor too?

i always kind of felt like it was strange that people called that project punk rap when Carti is sorta corporate/big-time

but i guess that would depend on what is even considered punk at this point

Its okay

Have a lovely night

just bc a beat is minimal/simple doesn't mean it's any less good.

a beat is only as good as the final product. if the barebones nature of feedback let kanye rlly spazz on the track, then it means feedback is a good ass beat
