Yeezus

[TheDrop]

Is f'ing amazing,
At first when i listened with my shitty laptop speakers it felt rushed, but after listening it in my car studio/headphones it sounds ridiculously amazing.
He just takes synths, trance, EDM, soul, reggae, conscious rap, the usual bitching, to the extremes. Kinda like MBDTF with some 808s, but way more raw and ridiculous.


Cue hater bitches and hater kids

[Aventus]

Did it drop or did you get a torrent of it?

[TheDrop]

Got it from a torrent on piratebay
It leaked, releases on June 18

[Azilius]

Really didn't like it, gonna give it another go tonight probably. It's mostly rap that takes a long time to grow on me so I'll probably try it 3-4 times before saying I hate it.

[Ganja]

I like his music and his lyrics. Unfortunately he seems like an asshole outside of that though.

[CrimsonNuker]

Too much auto tune, but the 2 tracks I LOVE

Blood on the Leaves
I'm In It

Magna Carta Holy Grail from Jay-Z though, that's one to look out for.

[.curve]

Shitty music, that is all.

[Blindfire]

Shitty music, that is all.

But if you listen to the same music as .curve he's been listening to it way longer and thinks it's cute that you just discovered it.

Something like that.

Deluxe edition rumored (probably confirmed by now) to have 4 bonus tracks and will come out on the 18th.

The instruments and general sound of the album might sound like a big mess but you really grow into them after a few listens. I love how he went full on experimental with this album although still keeping some classic Yeezy (Heavy use of samples, funny lines and his character). I personally love Bound 2(Good old soul Kanye), Hold my Liquor (Keef is decent on hooks) and On Sight (motherfucking Daft Punk). I just wish he had more features on it.

[omier]

Don't like rap.

[Aventus]

I have to say as good as some of the songs are I am super dissapointed by the track with keef on it. I was expecting him to rap on it but nope yeezy had to ruin my dreams.

[*BlackFox]

Meh!

[Aventus]

After watching that magna carta video it seems like edm and hip hop are meshing a lot now a days.

Keef sucks at rapping so having him on the hook is a good move in my book

[Aventus]

Everyone says that but you cant judge all rappers by the same standards. He's good in his own right.

[TheDrop]

yeh the album definitely grows on you. Basically i like all the tracks except i feel like On Sight kinda switches on and off on the beat weirdly (then again the whole albums weird af)
Also the beats on Guilt Trip make me rofl everytime
Lyrics could be better but eehhh the production makes up for it

"Baby girl hes a loner/ late night organ donor/after that he'll disown ya"
"Uh, black girl sippin' white wine
Put my fist in her like a civil rights sign"
"They see a black man with a white woman
At the top floor they gone come to kill King Kong"

[rek]

yeah dude the album is next level production wise imo reminds me of indicud sometimes

the lyrics are weird in a few songs but there are a few really good liners spread out the album :p

and daft punk and skrillex produced on sight

[Aventus]

After some 5 or 6 plays of the album ive decided I like the beats I just dont like the way he had people rap over it plus the autotune killed a lot of the songs blood on the leaves gets so much better after he drops the autotune.

[TheDrop]

The beats are awesome ofc, I know what you are sayin about more rapping and less autotune, but i really doubt Kanyes gonna go back to his older lyrics-based stuff, maybe hopefully in Watch the Throne 2. I can't get over the 2nd part of Hold My liquor with the guitar riff, its ridiculous.

If you guys are into his older stuff with the soul, heres a really nice track from RZA's movie.


Also whenever you are struggling to separate Kanye's douchiness ( ) and his music talent, just watch this;

Stereotypical self-entitled rapper talking about money, drugs, and bitches. Nothing new to see here and it just goes to show that hype is all about the name and not the music these days.

Some. A little EDM, a little rock, a little indie, a little rap. Pretty much anything that just sounds good. I go to Coachella, that's all I have to say.

I listened to the album after my initial post just to make sure I wasn't full of shit. Adding in a bunch of weird sounds and calling it "experimental" doesn't make it good.

It's really nothing new. Like I said, money, drugs, and bitches like every other rapper.

Pretty much, except Eminem and BOB. But those aren't exactly good either.

If you generalise everything like that then how do you listen to music?

[Aventus]

Ignore the hipster, they have no say in music.

...

Man don't act like the production of the album is not on point though.

He's pushing the envelope and I'd love to see you argue that. I mean he never was a lyricist but he knows how to play around with different sounds. Plus at least 3-4 songs is him talking about his fight against corporations and how we're becoming the "new slaves" of modern society.

Generalizations are formed from anecdotal evidence. If I turn on the radio and tune it to whatever the rap station is, 99/100 times I'm going to be hearing about the same thing.

Production wise, it's a lot of weird, out of place sounds that really have no flow to the song. I'm personally not a fan at all.
