All these Kanye doubters. Not surprising, his passion probably scared away a lot of people that wanted the safe Kanye.
Yeezy season will purge these non-believers.
Also one last thing for PD:
Drake Says Kanye West Is ‘The Most Influential Person’ On His Sound

I'm just gonna quote enzo da gawd from a previous thread if y'all really that oblivious to Kanye's impacT
shooting fish in a barrel.
im dying.
PDs switch up and completely off base Ye post made my head hurt. Act like Yeezus wasn't the most interesting hip hop album released that year brehs. Act like Ye ain't carry Jays elderly ass through WTT. And though it was a bit of a mess act like MBDTF didn't have casual hip hop fans and hipsters going nuts like that shit was the new Sgt. pepper. What's the last truly good album Jay released. I honestly can't even remember and might be tempted to say The Black Album. Breh is more devoted to being a black Republican than he is to any artistic craft.
i'm dying
This reads like something your troll account on KTT would post.
these hurt feelings
The Kanye/Jay coattail argument got exposed by Magna Carta, mediocre as it is. Jay and buzz sales went up after splitting from Kanye, and Kanye's went down. It's just the facts. The only people who really fucked with Yeezus are faffy fantano types, and everyone who's not submerged in a blogosphere knows this. MBTDF, might be different.
Either way you're comparing a guy on his sixth studio album to a guy on his twelfth. It's gonna be pretty funny watching y'all drop Kanye as his artistic focus continues to become a more and more cobbled pastiche of pitchforkmined shit.

Action Bronson is the John Belushi of Rap. If you think he is a derivative of Ghost then he's the the Jim Belushi of rap....
Regardless we need to start a campaign for him to dress as yojimbo for halloween

Fantano doesn't like yeezy like dat. You'd probably agree with his views on him.
You on that pop GAF sales age shit and I'm talking from a quality perspective. Also it's weird seeing you equate yourself to "Fantano types," when he hated the album and you liked it. Lolthese hurt feelings

Yeah, I just implicitly compared them from a quality perspective. BTW Jay-Z's 6th album was The Blueprint.
As for me and Yeezus, it's probably on the same level as MBDTF for me now, 6-7/10 range. Once you get past the enjoyable sonic diversity and bombast of it all its badly composed musically, wack lyrically, sonically incoherent etc etc.

99% of those sales better be from his old albums.
Anyway this is probably old news, but go ahead and shut down the year this comes out.

Nah it seems like Each prefers something more understated than the bluntness and abruptness of Kanye. It's why Lese Majesty is his AOTY.

Actually the most interesting and best rap album of 2013 was The Night's Gambit. Acid Rap was also better than Yeezus, admit it.
Production wise Run The Jewels was better.
Production wise Run The Jewels was better.
Yeezus is too loud and noisy, and it reminds him of rap cars. He wants to tell Kanye to get off his lawn while he rests his eyes listening to abstract hip hop lullabies.
I didn't say Yeezus was best, but certainly the most interesting. Nights Gambit wasn't that large of a departure from Grief Pedigree, and thus while being nearly flawless it was a bit predictable.
Like I said, y'all too emotionally attached. You're attached to this idea of Kanye as some sort of progressive artiste. His last original work where he truly made something cohesive was like, 808s?
I've always been this way tbh. Fact is i actually really like the textures and sounds on Yeezus a lot (hence why I'd still call it good), but at the same time I realize the way it's put together is distinctly lacking. It's got some cool parts, but it's ultimately a musical Frankenstein taste-validation piece. And the rapping aspect of it is another half step down. The actual quality of rapping on it is wack sauce. It was less noticeable on MBTDF when he inflated the album full of features from his betters.
Ad hominem is childish but if we're there.. If I've 'become' dusty then I'd contend you've lost the ability to enjoy anything without bombast or the appearance of novelty. You're desensitized, like the sonic equivalent of a man who watches too much porn.
too loud and noisy? I'm gaf-hops only death metal advocate lmao. I've personally recommended you Gorguts, Demilich and several other noise and bombast heavy projects but you tend to prefer the simpler, melodic, more emotional atmospheric black metal.
Face it, y'all hero worship Kanye and you're in your feelings.
Also yeah I do have a fairly traditionalist attitude but let it be known that I'm one of the biggest advocates of drill music here. I told y'all to listen to Migos and Lil Herb ffs.

Ah forgot about our shared Less Majesty love.
Lese Majesty isn't good because it's understated. It's great because the production is smart as fuck, building every track slowly in layers. It's great because the raps are abstract, spoken word but retain some bon mots as well as a sense of humor. It's dope because the tracks weave in and out of each other seamlessly yet distinctly, building off and transitioning nigh perfectly. Do I like the sparse nature of the whole thing? Sure. But that's not the reason why it's my AotY. The reason is because it's been put together so cohesively, and because it has that feel of 'density' any great piece of music does, that you can listen to it like 50+ times and still uncover new aspects of it.
I'm not trying to say you solely enjoyed it due to that. It was just an indicator that there's a clear sonic schism between something like the abrupt break in On Sight and the layered more subtle buildup of Solemn Swears -> Harem Aria, and I just notice you prefer the nature of the latter over the former.
I already discussed my problems with it with Esch a while ago. He made some good points , but I just can't extract the same magic that he can out of it as much as I'd love to. It's just too cerebral or subliminal for me I guess. It's probably why I couldn't love Russian Roulette as much others. Although I think Quelle Chris and Jeremiah kind of hit the same groove, their delivery is ultimately bolder and more surface level than the themes of the aforementioned
Some people liked it, some didn't. I think more people here prefer Black Up.
Definitely not an easy album to get into. The guttural vocals were a challenge even for me when I first heard it. Not because of it being abrasive, but just cause I couldn't take it seriously. Then there's the fact that the guitar work is buried under some very bass heavy to a fault mixing. It covers up (or demands greater listening to see) how smart and actually melodic the material is. Kind of like their predecessors Suffocation.
I just don't care for abrupt interludes man. If it's done a little more deftly then it's cool with me. And like I said there are still some super dope parts on it like Hold My Liquor.
crazy people.
