listened to it on my bose ipod dock, then my klipsch system at home, then in my car, then on my ipod out for a jog...on the first three systems - amazing...but this album sounds like pure garbage on my ipod.

I'm convinced that the publications giving this album a perfect, or damn near perfect rating don't give a **** about hip hop.
When you have albums that are considered classics within the hip hop community getting less than perfect ratings by these same magazines then all credibility is out the window.
Goes back to playing BS...

It's not even a Hip Hop thing though. I knew before note 1 dropped from this album that it would be impossible to get an objective opinion from the press on this project.
And the way they were fawning over it before it dropped was ridiculous. Because they all have the same agenda. Driving traffic. Look at how rabid Kanye fans are. It's in their best interests to feed into that to drive traffic.
Even die hard Kanye fans are saying this is his worst album. And I haven't seen too many of them call it "perfect" or "classic".
That should tell you how credible press is when it comes to Kanye West.....

This is some of the dumbest **** I've ever seen. It's almost like Kanye West has turned you into his own personal hand puppet. It sounds like something he would say.
And contrary to what you think, that's not a compliment.
Have I been to those clubs? Yes. Hakkassan has one of, if not the, illest system in the US right now.
And for the record, when you walk in with A-List DJ's who actually produce music that is miles beyond what's on Yeezus, you can wear Nikes. Oh, you didn't know?
Had my Bachelor Party in Amsterdam. Just did my wedding Anniversary in Europe for 10 days last summer. Please, tell me what other credentials I need to appreciate a song.
The fact that you genuinely believe you need to experience all of this to appreciate a piece of music is some of the most idiotic **** I've seen written in a while.
How do you explain all the people who haven't experienced these things who like the song. Get all the way the **** out of here.....
True story.

this album is bad, its right next to 808's in da gutter.
808s is an amazing album the melodies and the flow of the whole album is amazing.

Listend to it a few times and it gets a 7.5/10 from me. Very let down, can't really call it a hip-hop album so hard to rank it. Can't compare to 808's cause least that album had direction, this is just all over the place. Some of the production is great but ruined by the un-need autotune or yelling. Lyrics for the most part are subpar, Kanye has great 1 liners now but didn't really have any standout verses.

@ninjahood and the other guy
First and foremost, Makaveli was an interesting album, far from a masterpiece. And he got dealt with accordingly for recording it so....your point?
Honestly bro's, this album just isn't intended for you. I don't mean that in a good or bad way, just is what it is. If this album was a clothing store, Yeezus would be the Lafayette Gallery in Paris, made high end, **** from all over the world, premium ******edly priced stuff, etc. The **** ya'll are on is the Polo Outlet X House Of Hoops rap. Both fly in their own right, but different. Basically what it boils down to is a measure of life experience. He's making soundtracks for people around the world involved in various things. There's rappers out there that make music about still living with your mother as well. Game needs balance man. Can't be all balling, can't be all broke, roach infested boom bap.
My quick review aka 10 reasons you can't relate
1. On Sight - Have you ever been to a club that doesn't play rap / bachata / reggaetone? Clubs where you can't rock Nikes? Ever been to Europe? Ever been to real clubs with million dollar sound systems that literally take your breath away when the bass comes in? Willing to bet you haven't or you would understand immediately how ill this intro is.
2. Black Skinhead - My least favorite track on the album but like all the other armchair A&R's, I predict this song being huge.
3. I Am A God - Another song that's going to kill in clubs. Message is pure Kanye, beats are on some 2015 ****.
4. New Slaves - Not sure what your occupation or financial standing is in the world but this song speaks volumes for gentlemen like myself, only black in majority white organizations, middle class identity, how blacks all have the same ******ed idea of the image of success, etc. Not to mention, that dope *** bassline, the Quentin Tarantino styled outro, etc.
5. Hold My Liquor - Sounds like speeding home in a droptop 7am after the club, high off life, winning. Song is incredible.
6. I'm In It - One of the supreme architects of the NY sound has moved on music wise (RZA), why can't you? Song is cool, not my fav.
7. Blood On The Leaves - Sounds like 808's on steroids, would be my favorite song if not for "Bound2"
8/9. Guilt Trip / Send It Up - Like these but haven't had time to properly analyze them, keep playing the same 4 songs over and over.
10. Bound2 - Obviously the hottest song on the album, the sample, the bars, everything is flawless. Hood yet still modern with the random Charlie Wilson hook. Honestly at this point with Kanye not even residing in the US, it would sound weird if his entire album had this sound tho.

Bcuz I don't feel none of those albums were hiphop
Lauryn Hill started this in 98 with Miseducation Andre followed suit with Love Below
Then Kanye jumped on the bandwagon and now we have T-pain,Drake,Future,blackeyepeas,and ton of other lames making RnB HipHop influenced fusions
Its not pure hiphop and I think it needs its own genre
