45 minutes of TV static?
Relevant KTT thread dissecting these lyrics.
My favourite KTT conspiracy was the elaborate Kanye screwing up movie references on purpose one, and they just caught a bunch of them throughout his career. Shit got progressively hilarious.
This post ending with hence new slaves and that GIF is just making me die of laughter.i think the line following the one you're asking about helps explain it better:
"I never got down with the morals of Martin Luther
I'm just tryna ball, why these niggas want me neutered?"
you can't really "ball" if you're thinking systematically/theoretically a la mlk and martin luther
i'm a pretty big fan/supporter of mlk and martin luther before him but, like kanye said, politics is dead
also, we never really got rid of eunuchs... masters still cut your balls (neutered) by forcing you into their system and not supporting people like ye and travis and nba players (donald sterling... ****) and us fans and dreamers in general
hence new slaves

An Exec Producer (I'm speaking from a Film Background but I'm sure it applies to music as well) can probably be involved as much or as little as they want.
Suge Knight was an executive Producer who probably didn't do shit musically. Compared to Dr. Dre who is a notorious control freak and many artists would make projects while signed to Aftermath that have never seen the light of day.
It's a flexible position.
Lol shiiiit. Rappers need to be more embarrassed about being caught for that shit. Especially since they all know how crooked the music industry is, no need to cheat others at it.
Yeah, Yeezus as we know it today is because Rubin trimmed a lot of that. I'm sure Yeezy would have never released a 2 hour album, since he himself wanted it to be more concise and relatively minimalist compared to his previous efforts.

i appreciate these small blessings in life
I'd guess he did a lot of it during the Yeezus tour's rants.
Bound 2 was originally gonna be more lavish before Rubin stripped it down. dat outro tho.
would love to hear the original version of Yeezus just for comparison's sake.

Executive producer is a mixed term. Sometimes it's a legitimate position that features a very hands on approach. Dr. Dre's fingerprints are all over GKMC even though he didn't produce any of the records; he redid Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe, changed Money Trees, mixed the album, etc. Puffy essentially orchestrated a lot of Ready To Die; he didn't produce jack shit but dictated how certain samples were used (Juicy).
Then you have executive producer cases like Jay with Food & Liquor, where he didn't do much of anything but attach his name as a cosign. Likewise RZA didn't do truly exec produce OB4CL2 - sure he mixed some things and made a beat, but overall his name was attached as a (nostalgia) cosign.
Kanye isn't a passive executive producer - he's not simply going to cosign your project, he's going to take it over. He did that with Pusha T's album and I'd imagine he's done it with other albums on his label.

I think that version would've been better. Bound 2 is the most boring part of Yeezus.
that version is nice until the 2nd part where kanye starts doing a Seal impression
bound grew on me but objectively its a pretty terrible song. the verse-chorus transition is one of the most jarring things ive ever heard lol. wish i had a video of my reaction the first time i heard that shit

Good breakdown here, exactly how I envisioned all those producers/projects got shaped out.
edit: and yeah, Bound 2 is the outlier on Yeezus for me. It just doesn't fit. Every time I listen to the album I usually end right before it (which isn't a bad ending either).
That was my first time watching the video just now... lmaoooooooooo!!! Wtf man...

I didn't know he got an exec producer credit, interesting; it's not listed on wikipedia. If so it's a case of Drake having multiple hands in his pockets. What a "boss" lol. Birdman and Slim are exec producers and they certainly didn't do shit on the album.
No I.D. is also pretty hands on even when he doesn't produce all the tracks (Life Is Good). I think he's exec producing Vince Staples' upcoming album which will be interesting. I feel like Vince is best when he's discussing personal shit beyond "I'm a legit gangsta."
His breakfast club interview is dope checks charlamagne, that dissing Drake is messing with his money. They said J Prince ran up on Drake while on tour when he found out Drake was trying to sign to YM without his involvement. He wasn't listed as exec on Take Care when they were going through that legal shit, but was back on NWTS.
When touring is included, that's usually what people call a 360 deal, as in they get a cut out of every revenue angle your name is attached to.
Labels generally get the most money from album sales, which is why the 360 deal was invented with the advent of declining record sales.
