OFFICIAL Ye fka "kanYe West" x G.O.O.D. Music Thread - ¥$ (AKA YE X TY DOLLA SIGN) - VULTURES (NOW AVAILABLE WOWWWW)

[shotsrangout]

This thread is horrible.

I keep reading the same stuff over and over again. If you don't like the album, cool. I don't have to explain why I like the album. Just listen to what you like.

 

[bluedeniro]

ye is turning into nas after it was written, the idea is there but its poorly excuted for the third album in a row

 

[nako xl]

I do find it interesting how some of the same dudes in the Jay-Z thread praising MCHG were in here saying they hated WTT and MBDTF...  I mean there's only one constant variable there.

 

[meek meals]

The last verse of "I'm in it" is great... until he ends it with that STUPID line about swaghilli.... lol. It baffles me.

Time to take it too far now
Uh, Michael Douglas out the car now
Uh, got the kids and the wife life
Uh, but can't wake up from the night life
Uh, I'm so scared of my demons
Uh, I go to sleep with a nightlight
Uh, my mind move like a Tron bike
Uh, pop a wheelie on the Zeitgeist
Uh, I'm finna start a new movement
Uh, being led by the drums
Uh, I'm a rap-lic priest
Uh, getting head by the nuns
Uh, they don't play what I'm playin'
Uh, they don't see what I'm sayin'
Uh, they be balling in the D-League
Uh, I be speaking Swaghili

This is GREAT? For really real?
If J. Cole said this same verse would it be great to you?
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say Hellllllllllll No!

"I let you feel like you the ****, but boy you can't out-fart me"

But in terms of solo efforts I am >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nastradamus

 

[EddieDoyers]

LOL @ you guys thinking Yeezus was gonna be some real deep lyrical ****. Please. This has been the same Kanye West since 808s. Maybe the lyrics are dumbed down a bit, but the main point of the album was for the production, and it somewhat succeeded. It wasn't perfect, but the **** does bang in the whip. As blasphemous as his god complex is and a few of the Lil Wayne esqe lines, its not hard to like this album, I don't love it though.

[DVMNXK]

Love this album but still don't rock with "Black Skinhead", "Send It Up" or " Guilt Trip"...had to have 3 hotter joints in the stash.

"Hold My Liquor" is my song of the summer.

I feel yeezus is 'yes nastradamus. I just hope he can bounce back from this

NO! EXPLAIN NOW!>:

ye is turning into nas after it was written, the idea is there but its poorly excuted for the third album in a row

Wasn't It Was Written Nas' 2nd album though? he's redeemed himself multiple times since then. This is Kanye's 6th album. This is where he stands, unfortunately.

 

[quik1987]

Didn't Kanye spit a majority of the lyrics in the last 3 days? That's not lazy? Is it really a mystery why there's an obvious lack of substance?

Didn't Rick Rubin hear 3 hours of material and say wtf is all this ****, copy and paste everything together and tone it down just to make it somewhat cohesive? That's not lazy?

Yeezus is like the equivalent kids in high school who have months to do assignment, whip up **** the night before and ******** a complex explanation of why it's genius rather than doo doo.

 

[ihust1e]

Can we just let this fail thread fade to obscurity

Already? Jay-Z & J.cole got better work up da block.

I mean....if you didnt keep bumping the thread to say how much of a weedplate this is to you, it would have already faded away lol

Kanye West is an egomanic.  Let’s be honest Lex Luger seems like Taylor Swift in comparison to Ye’.  He’s a narsassist’s narsassist.  Kanye clearly has an exaggerated sense of importance.

Mr. West is a prisoner of not only his own success but his stunts that constantly propel his name into the limelight.  In a sense his aggravation with media and paparazzi is self-inflicted.  Its almost comical to watch a person crave for so much attention and yet reject it once it comes his way.

This Yeezus project is nothing more than a soundtrack for Kanye and his “cult of me”.  It’s a public toast to self-indulgence from a man high off power, status, and wealth.  Ironically, the attention and fame that he has worked so hard for and longed for as a young artist now aggravates him.

If his last album was titled My Dark Twisted Fantasy then this should’ve been labeled My Dark Twisted Reality.  From the marketing, visuals, and lyrics or lack there of Kanye has sent a message.  Kanye believes Kanye doesn’t have to provide his fans with a music video or even a single for the radio.  Kanye can just sell a clear CD case with red tape, he doesn’t need album art.  In this digital age Kanye and his team believe that marketing and promotion are beneath them.   The message is basically “Hey,if you don’t know about Yeezus dropping you don’t matter anyway.”  Some might label this marketing strategy as an heroic attempt at challenging the music industry’s standards of practice.  I disagee.  Kanye’s not “changing the game” or “breaking the mold” He’s just being an ***, while his big brother Jay-Z and Samsung are in fact changing the game.

Not only did Kanye skip out on promotion, marketing, and visuals on this project he failed to deliver in the lyrics department also.  No matter how huge an icon or superstar Kanye has becomes he has always been an respected lyricist.  From his debut College Dropout to the recent Watch The Throne, Kanye has always put forth equal effort in lyricism and the production of his albums.

The new guy rapping on Yeezus wasn’t the soulful artist of substance delivering verses with amazing views on American culture and witty humor.  The messages and pictures painted on this album were scattered and shallow.  It’s soulless.  Real recognize real and Yeezus ain’t looking familiar.  With all the ridiculous rumors of Illuminati association this album is definitely more fuel for those crazy conspiracy theorist out there.  At times I found myself thinking “What the $%&@ is this guy talking about?”  Where’s the guy that made Watch the Throne?  Where are you Yeezy?

Song after song is filled with explicit, misogynistic sexual imagery.  Over and over we are pelted with angry demands of menages and croissants.  We know you’re rich and have access to beautiful women.  We get it.  Now if you can actually stomach the lyrical content Kanye and his friend Chief Keef attempt to sing…..sing with autotune.   Wasn’t just a phase Kanye?  Didn’t we put that to rest with 808′s and Heartbreaks?

This album credits 17 producers the most ever for a Kanye album and has no rap features.  Kanye isn’t Nas and this wasn’t illmatic.  I wouldn’t have minded a verse from Jay-Z or any artist to offer a change of pace. While the production was experimental it was the highlight of this album.  Sounds of dance hall to punk rock are integrated to create some amazing, progressive beats.  Yeezus gave us a different Kanye and that was to be expected since he is an ever evolving artist.  Too bad this time change wasn’t for the better.

My favorite two songs from the 12 track album are Blood on the Leaves and Bound 2.  Both songs remind me of a Kanye West I once knew and hope comes back soon.  The production on both songs is simply amazing and lyrically he shows up as well.

Is this album horrible?  No.  But I expect more from a self proclaimed musical genius.  Maybe I’m wrong.  Maybe we should just run out and buy anything and everything Kanye decides to bless us with.  I mean he is a God right?

There’s no doubt that Kanye is a trend setter and  his influences have pushed pop culture and mainly the hip-hop genre into new directions.  This project just didn’t deliver.

A.  Like the people in the earlier pages of this thread, dude doesn't understand what co-producers are.

B.  Last I checked there were 5 major features on this album... Did the writer even listen to it or just read other people's opinions?

 

[illphillip]

This thread is horrible.

I keep reading the same stuff over and over again. If you don't like the album, cool. I don't have to explain why I like the album. Just listen to what you like.

Doesn't that go both ways? Some like it. Some don't. The guys that like it are in here as much as the guys that don't.

Or is this not a discussion? Is it just a place to worship at the alter of Kanye West?

In fact, this SAME **** has been said in there repeatedly. So you ain't really doin' much either.

 

[00david00]

Honestly after listening to it for the last couple weeks it's not as bad as when I first heard it. I've come to appreciate it for what it is. I won't be playing it a whole lot. I can't just put it on and vibe with it like I can with MCHG for example, but when I actually feel like listening to it I enjoy it a lot.

Intro is tight, black skinhead is meh still, I am a God had potential, I like the flow on the first verse, but after that I gotta skip it can't sit through the screaming and all that. New slaves and can't hold my liquor back to back two of my favorite songs on here, still skipping guilt trip and I'm in it. Blood on the leaves is the only song that I like less compared to the first time I heard the album. Send it up and bound 2

Both this and MCHG have grown on me a lot. Born sinner got deleted, but to be fair I was never a big J Cole fan, just thought I'd give it a shot.

I'll be honest, if somebody else released this I wouldn't even have kept it this long. At this same time though, this is the type of stuff I expect from Ye at this point, he's got to be the one making weird boundary pushing albums like this because that's where he's at in his career. Not many others are in that place yet. I look forward to the traditional stuff from dudes like kendrick n them.

 

[foamhead93]

As much as I like this album, I don't understand how critics are praising this so highly
I thought everyone hated Kanye.
This album for me has a lot of replay value.
Favorite track is still On Sight
Kanye and Daft Punk had to have been listening to Mr. Fingers for inspiration

 

[guzzy]

Really hate this album.

I enjoy trap and edm so when I heard Daft Punk was producing I was geeked.

This ishhh sounds like dubstep.

Dont care if theres alot of bass and it bangs in the whip. No dam, rythym. Random sounds. 

Why have Cheif Keef sing??? 

Then put autotune on it. 

Shouldve had him just rap the chorus.

Only mess with New Slaves and Black Skinhead.

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't dubstep a sub-genre of EDM?

About Chief Keef, when I heard he was on the album I was kinda like wtf, but I actually really enjoy his part.

 

[tigerintherain]

I

'ed at him calling Lex Luthor "Lex Luger" and ignored the rest of the review

1. Lex Luger was a wrestler nicknamed the Narcissist .....so before you

  you should be

on google if you didn't know.

2. Everybody knows what co-producers are...but it is a fact that this is the most producer credits on any Kanye album.  Its a fact.

3. The review says no rap features....not features in general

 

[angels47]

Is King Louie not a rapper?

 

[$tacy]

chief keef singing tho 

 I have to really be in a certain mood to listen to this album. Like this aint one of those roll the windows down, ride thru my hood type joints, more of the im trynna clean my house n i need to wake u type joints lol. It grew on me more than the first listen but still... Ye is better than this.
