Yeezus isn't good but overrated.
MBDTF is still better.
On a more serious note, I'm not a big Kanye fan to begin with, but I've failed to see the appeal of the album after multiple listens. Probably like 4 good songs in total if I want to include Hold My Liquor, and that shit gets annoying sometimes.

Yeezus is sort of like Eminem's Relapse. It's a great record for separating the fans from the stans. No regular fan of music would find Yeezus a good album of music they enjoy listening to. It's an album for stans to cluster around, shouting at everybody else that they "just don't get it." It's a shit record from a great artist and people often have trouble dealing when their idols produce shit.

Ye has been garbage since after the really good Late Registration. After that everything is either mediocre, an overproduced mess, or in the case of MBDTF an album with like 3 good track with the rest being self indulgent crap.
Dude made two great albums that I'll always like, but the moment he inserted his head further up his own ass his music has suffered.

Relapse and yeezus are nothing alike, relapse actually has a few enjoyable songs. Listening to Yeezus is the sonic equivalent of a metal spike being inserted in your dickhole by an old lady with arthritis, MS, and poor vision.

bless up. fuck taylor swift.
yeezus is relapse? hell no, wanderingwind why you do this?
No idea why you would put Yeezus over MBDTF.
Yeezus is just him being mad, trying to sound mad and talking all kinds of nonsense.
MBDTF at least sounds like someone sat down, created a concept that hits the Zeitgeist on the head and then proceeded to produce an album that goes beyond rap in terms of importance.
Yeezus has some great songs you can listen to in the gym; MBDTF is for the ride home and thinking about life and shit.

This isn't really a hip hop experience...this is something else, but I somewhat like you guys, so this is why I post this shit here.

I'm saying they're both albums for the stans, not for anybody who actually likes, you know, good music. I'm not going to hash out like, sonic metrics or whatever. You could compare it to any album put out past an artist's prime that only the fanniest of fans will defend. Kingdom Come. HHID. Be Here Now. Van Hagar. Etc. For the especially dense, that doesn't mean they sound the same.
Stahp WW no more.

I know, man. It sucks when the realization starts to sink in that you've become a stan. But there is light on the other end of the tunnel. Just keep moving and don't let the dust collect.

I've always unironically enjoyed this. It's so ridiculous it's great.
Especially "AHH HAAAAAAA AHH HAAAAAAAAAAA" lmfao. Like Nas wut r u doin
Proceeds to list the worst song on the album, but alright.
Maybe you didn't listen to it?
I can't come up with one song title from that album
Illmatic>IWW>Lost Tapes>GS>HHID>Stillmatic>IAm>LIG>Street's Disciple's>U>Nastradamus
Nice Beanie gif.

track of the day - Biggie featuring Meth & Red - Rap Phenomenon
what's funny is everyone knows why ether's significant, but it's not even one of the greater songs on the album...you're da man, rewind, 2nd childhood, one mic etc etc
see i respected shinobis on some Wu Forever > 36 (even if i didn't agree) but i was just revisiting IWW last weekend, and...nah, they're not even close. it's a great album but the highs aren't nearly as high, or as frequent. granted illmatic is a short ass album but there's pretty much no fat, where IWW clearly has.
*edit do ya'll really feen for no-body-having white chicks that bad? taylor would not even get noticed in a packed club

The way he almost walks into the wall and has to course correct halfway through the ice grill makes it too amusing to get anxious.
Illmatic was a masterpiece of an album but I've always felt that IWW was a more complete album. Plus 'I Gave You Power' is one of my favorite tracks of all time so I guess I'm biased towards the album because of that.

even esh trying to turn the lyrics into something highly suspect can't take anything from it
so demonic brehs

Yeah, this is the best part of it. I like the way he looks after to re-establish the intimidation, but I bet he knows he fucked it up.
TFW when you only have Eminem albums in which to compare and contrast.

I think Yeezus is one of Ye's strongest conceptual pieces. It's has like one or two holes that seem more glaring because it's a such a concentrated effort. It is Ye's dark horse album that kind of reminds me of a similar departure that Neil Young went for when he made Trans. I think Kanye needs to get out of comfort zone to put out his most interesting works these days.
IWW definitely has grandiose highs and shows a bit more versatility than Illmatic. It's a little more flawed, but it's definitely his second best album no question. People have referred to it as Nas' mafioso album, but it's much more self aware and concerned with the violence it portrays than say OB4CL.

the only thing about it that's concentrated is that the songs are more concise in length/feel than MBTDF(which dragged on needlessly song by song and as an album). in every other respect it's an ADHD smorgasbord of this and that. Might as well listen to Jethro Tull.
