that second song is crazy good
im afraid to listen to the new stuff. i heard enough from the Gov Ball.
i think it's interesting that the Pusha & Sean features are basically reject status for Yeezus and he's putting them on their albums instead. them joints will probably end up being the best on their albums lmao.

i know, there should be at least 3
Kanye has gotten gold out of Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Paul Wall etc.
I'm sure we'll be fine.

Chief Keef & Bon Iver
Pretty much. I'm okay with one, but two on a fucking Kanye album?
How dare you not have faith in Yeezus?
If Kanye thinks two Chief Keef features is a good idea, IT'S A GOOD FUCKING IDEA!

i hope they autotune the fuck out of chief keef's voice and he slurs his shit. he gave me junior future vibes on his album in a song or two. (that's a good thing)

Damn Daft Punk worked on 4 songs?!
Onsite
I Am A God
Black Skinhead
???
Who else did he mention in that video that worked on it? Arpa? Don't think I heard that right.
Saw that Mike Dean interview earlier. He doesn't say much but the Suge stories are great.

That beat is WICKED hot but what's the connection? Why did you post it?
EDIT: duh. I get it. Beat is wicked hot. I hate the stupid lyrics. Hate the rapping/munchkin voice. Love the beat.
I know! But https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uiHA0bXzMrI
That shit is so dope I can't stand it.
Huh, I thought he was on So Appalled.
From what I gather on KTT, the most logical tracklist ATM is:
Onsite (Prod. Hudson Mohawke & Daft Punk)
Black Skinhead (Prod. Daft Punk)
I Am A God (Prod. Daft Punk)
New Slaves ft. Frank Ocean
Can't Handle My Liquor ft. Chief Keef & Bon Iver (Prod. by Mike Dean)
Unknown
Could've Been Somebody (Prod. by TNGHT/Hudson Mohawke)
Unknown ft. Popcaan & KiD CuDi (Produced by Travi$ Scott)
Send It Up ft. Travi$ Scott, King Louie & someone? (doesn't sound like D'Banj or Don Jazzy to me)
Bound ft. Charlie Wilson
+ 2 or 4 more songs.
Everything executively produced by Kanye West & Rick Rubin.
Popcaan might not be an accredited feature (IIRC Pusha removed the credit after the initial release), might be Travi$ on the second unknown track (even though it clearly sounds like CuDi, and though Travi$ says it's him, I think he's just talking about production).

naw that's Cyhi's boring ass.
Rosenberg says 10.
Retailers say 14.
Kanye played 9 songs, and apparently didn't play everything last night, and left off at least one to two songs.
I don't even know what that is bruh. You got me confused with a guy who is looking to commit blasphemy against out lord and saviour Yeezus Christ.
I must stay clean and pure until the day of our reckoning.
Yeezus is less sprawling than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and maybe more sonically cohesive than 808s & Heartbreak.
Electro. That was the running theme. Whether it was EDM, industrial, Moombahton or 80s-style synths, theres a preponderance of squelching and pulsating here. Interestingly, Kanye prefaced the album by saying he listened to some Joy Division and realized hes not a soul guy anymore, hes New Wave. Id posit hes more darkwave.
9. In a rather sneaky move, the album ends like old Kanye.
The song with the sample-heavy snippet (one of which was Brenda Lee) that was featured on Wests official site closes out the album. Its a wonderful nod to the Kanye of 2004-05, like he wanted to give us a sign that the sample-screwing underdog is still alive under all that Givenchy and leather. But even the way he uses the samples has changed: rather than helping to bolster the hook (this is basically an album with no hooks), here they serve as abrupt breaks in the action to let you gather yourself.
10. Kanyes albums streak is alive and well.
As I said up top, its impossible to evaluate an album after two listens, especially under such strange circumstances. But its clear this is not a dud. It may not be as fun as his old ****, it may not be as epic as his last one, but its harder, faster and stronger. Time will tell if its better.

The album may very well have 10 tracks, but the info in that article is almost definitely coming from Rolling Stone just counting how many songs were played. They're operating under the assumption that Kanye didn't hold any tracks back, it's possible that he may have.
doing what, playing the triangle? i mean i can even pick out Alicia Keys on the "oohhhooohhh" shit on background near the end but i can't hear Drake at all.
Background vocals. Listen to the song reallllllly closely.

Fantastic interview.
This interview is dope as fuck.
I read this shit like a Kanye stan would and am just enamoured at this guy. Ye is so inspirational.
Yup.
Its really easy to say Yeezus is more GAWD sounds, but he really took a step back. Sounds like he "hates" MBDTF, but I know what he means. In my own little way, when I produce a beat I love it- then a year later its just ehh- because you've moved on.
That stuff about minimalism and "reduced by" is so great.
