I guess I'm crazy but I loved the video. Fits well with the mood of the music. Kind of primitive and raw.

 

[Dereck]

lol

 

[NMFried]

Can I ask what everyone's honest opinion on Graduation is? I'm interested, because I think it's the pinnacle of what he tried to do with his first two albums.

The album is a simple, selfish endeavor. A quintessential celebration of success in album form which is very fitting given the title. It hits high highs and low lows at times, and I see it as the beginning of artsy/bold Kanye.

I just downvoted the first song ever on google music.

Hold my liquor


what a piece of shit song.

Your opinion is wrong, sorry.

Also what is that noise on the last page about Power being a bad song.... you can't be serious:

"I got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault, my childlike creativity, purity and honesty has honestly got me crowded by these grown thoughts,
reality is catching up with me, taking my inner child fighting for him custody, with these responsibilities that they entrust in me, as I look down at my diamond encrusted piece,
thinking NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER"

Like seriously.

Some amazing lyrics in that album.

I guess I'm one of the weird ones but I think Late Registration is the best of old Kanye and MBDTF is at the same level with a new style. College Dropout is great, but i think it's somewhat overrated in an OoT like way.

 

[kehs]

Ive been listening to this album alot more, and I rescind my original opinion, it's pretty great.

Other than hold my liquor...fuck that song. It's a blemish.

Kanye lyrics are kanye lyrics on all his songs...croissants...really?

His style though, It's great, reminds me of saul williams niggytardust and electric circus from common.

I can't help but roll my eyes over any verse where he goes back to his old graduation style bullshit though. gawd. move on dude.

 

[Oozer3993]

Kanye will be performing at the VMAs on August 25th. He will be doing Black Skinhead

Spoiler

presumably because the MTV audience is not worthy of Blood on the Leaves.

 

[Red_Man]

Has there been any announcements or indication of when a Yeezus tour will be?

Why? He's already performed it, that's fucking lame.

 

[Red_Man]

Kanye just showed up at drakes OVOfest in Toronto, I was gonna go but I had to work

 

[EloquentM]

I thought ye and drizzy hated each other.

 

[DominoKid]

idk why folks still think that.

 

[EloquentM]

idk why folks still think that.

I was being sarcastic >___>

 

[Red_Man]

No idea what he's playing, my friend at the show just tweeted that he came out

 

[Oozer3993]

He did New Slaves.

 

[oc]

He did New Slaves.

+ can't tell me nothing

 

[Red_Man]

Would have lost my shit if I was there, really pissed I couldn't make it

 

[Fry]

Is he playing on TCA today?

 

[Mistle]

Can't wait to see Black Skinhead at VMAs.

 

[Cheddahz]

I would like to see Kanye perform Hold My Liquor live

 

[Red_Man]

Blood On The Leaves live please.

 

[chris121580]

This album just keeps getting better and better each time I listen. So ambitious. I love when he gets experimental. Lyrics may not be as strong on this but that has never been Kanye's strong suit anyways. The production is just absolutely stellar

 

[kehs]

Does anyone think the very beginning of black skinhead sounds a lot like beautiful people from marilyn manson

It should since it samples that songs drum pattern.

 

[Mau ®]

I didn't know there was a OT for Yeezus in Community!

Just came in here to say Yeezus is by FAR my fave album of the year. It's just amazing to work out to, while working in the office, while driving. It's just perfect.

Might even be my fave Kanye album :O

 

[kehs]

It should sense it samples that songs drum pattern.

Well, there we go haha.

 

[EloquentM]

^^its my second fave song on this album.

Yeah it use to be in regular OT until it hit like page 90

Is there any Kanye West merch? I've always though owning a Kanye West shirt would be cool

Nothing is worse than I'm in it

 

[Blearth]

Nothing is worse than I'm in it

Best song on the album IMO.

Air Yeezy Horus Shirt/Sweater is the only thing they have.. fairly tastefully done I'd say.

 

[Cheddahz]

Kanye performed Blood on the Leaves and it was beautiful, besides the shitty audio from the mic

I laughed so hard at this (both the actual video and this post)

 

[Oozer3993]

Video with fixed (though still censored) audio.

 

[DominoKid]

MTV should do the world a solid and put up the dirty version.

Yeezus made Chief Keef tolerable so I have faith, can't imagine how this choice in song makes sense though.

Either way, I'm pretty happy at the thought of more music

 

[DominoKid]

Yeezus has never led us wrong. Stay faithful.

Spoiler

Kanye WAT?

Yeah, I have no idea what to think of this. A Yeezus Remix EP sounds awesome. But a Miley feature is... confusing.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

[GoodMorning]

Yeezus & K Dot... AWWW YISS

Who's going?
