Man Kanye tries so hard to be cool, but hey for radio "rap" his songs are usually alright.

1/10 for trolling.

I think the word you're looking for is Pop Rap. And yes he is definitely the best at it.

Yeah, I only prefer hip hop artists, not this cRAP.

 

[amnesiac]

Yeezus Cover

So no gold foil cover or whatever that was?

He's better than most underground rapper too.

 

[soundtrack]

No way in hell am I buying the CD if it's just a case lol. Would've been satisfied with the molten face cover. Any sort of booklet would do honestly.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

So no gold foil cover or whatever that was?

I honestly really like the tin foil one, it looked like a statue being twisted.

 

[DyTonic]

This dude ia corn ball, used to think he was cool.

 

[Kuraudo]

Can't see the CD shipping like that. I imagine there has to be some contractual obligation to include credits in a booklet at least.

There should be, but I wouldn't put it past Ye to work some way around that just for the sake of being different.

There's a tracklist on the back. Maybe it has some really tiny credits.

That one system of a down cd didn't have a booklet.

Did he start selling drugs to all your friends?

 

[DominoKid]

No cover? I absolutely love where kanye is going with this album. This is going to be epic

 

[Acorn]

Reminds me of what the black album was originally meant to be.

No promotion, singles, videos or cover.

 

[dvdjamm]

If he puts out a vinyl edition,what's that going to look like?

 

[enzo_gt]

Yeah I'm sad about the decoy. I liked the art of a king twisting into Kanye, and the possibility that it would twist as you move the artwork around like the IANAHBII cover.

Don't really like this. It's ballsy, but I like me some damn artwork, especially out of DONDA/Ye.

Yep but Hov's a pussy.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

So edgy. Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco are so deep, mang. Look at dem covers (or lack of).

 

[enzo_gt]

Well, Yeezus cover is different because he wants people to make a cover themselves, but yeah. Full PR image:

they obviously do have a deeper meaning. Not sure what the sarcasm is for. It's just as pretentious as any other overly artistic cover.

 

[Kuraudo]

Didn't Lupe say that he'd made the cover all black just to see if the record company would do it?

 

[enzo_gt]

I just hope Yeezus comes with the actual tape and not just those long red stickers we saw in some shots that look ugly as fuck and out of Staples or something.

 

[victreeb3l]

not a big fan of that cover or rather lack of one. will cop digital version instead unless they release an alternate one or whatever.

MBDTF is still one of my favorite album packaging. it was like a work of art

 

[jediyoshi]

But how does it make you feel?

 

[solarus]

The red tape does have meaning, to open the album you will have to "cut the red tape"
cut red tape
(US, idiomatic) To reduce bureaucracy.
Which is in line with lyrics in new slaves. Also I'm 99% sure somebody must have already mentioned this in the thread, just posting it in case anyone is wondering.

Update. Looks like the no artwork/title/etc. are confirmed.

Edit: Yeah, Ye just tweeted, that's the cover art. The gold bust type thing on the black marble was so dope, too.

Teaser on the site might be called "Bound": http://www.kanyewest.com/wp-content/themes/kanyewest/_assets/boundteaser.mp3

Dat song

 

[Fry]

Lame-ish, the previous rumoured (?) one was better.

Not that I care that much, anyway.

 

[soundtrack]

Confirmed

 

[DominoKid]

Dat snippet.

 

[solarus]

Why kanye gotta be such a tease

 

[parasight]

My God that sample teaser. Need that track now.

 

[EloquentM]

Mmmmm samples

 

[Rastafarian42]

Soul samples... ;_;

 

[PG2G]

So excited, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Brinbe]

Glorious... all of it.

 

[cacophony]

so wtf is this then?

was so much better than this dumb 'make your own art' idea. wouldn't it make more sense to have a white booklet than no booklet that way too

 

[EloquentM]

Maybe it's under the cd?

 

[PhoenixDark]

This dude ia corn ball, used to think he was cool.

Too bad I can't dap this post

 

[Kabuto]

are the projection dates/locations on his site going to be "New Slaves" again or something new? One of them is in my city so I might go with some friends.

Probably new slaves.

 

[Byakuya769]

Yep but Hov's a pussy.

And actually written...

Jay is full of shit.

By the way, I was already going to spotify route due to the lame ass name, but definitely see no reason to make a physical purchase now.

 

[Ephemeris]

Looks like I'll be finding my own album art yet again

 

[SeroTyler]

Can't see the CD shipping like that. I imagine there has to be some contractual obligation to include credits in a booklet at least.

He'll probably do what NIN did with [WITH_TEETH] and include a URL to the credits.

 

[Kabuto]

Probably new slaves.

aw; if it's not too out of the way, I'll probably still go just to see Yeezus' face on a skyscraper.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

That "uh huh honey" sample, bah gawd.

Mother of god...dem samples!

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Here Kanye fanboys, I made you a cover for you to use:

Pure art.
