She does?
He obviously didn't make it as she was popular beforehand but he did aid in making her an even bigger name than she already is, I'd argue.

That's like argueing that Chris Brown made Rihanna more famous because of the incident....
I didn't really see much discussion here for the american psycho themed video he used to promo yeezus i mean enzo posted the link but no one really noticed/talked about it. A hq version of it got put up a few days back on monday it's on the site. I think it's great.

sorry, didn't mean to drive by post. I'm serious though. This album is all over the place. Black Skinhead sounds like a Marilyn Manson beat.
Theres a couple decent songs, but after listening to it twice, it just seems like I'm taking a trip into the mind of a schizo, and not in a good way.
He didn't? She was EVEN more talked about afterwards. He was as well.

Not much discussion because it sucks, and that guy playing Patrick's character is cringe worthy to watch
Apparently kanye originally wanted James Franco to be in it, he was smart to refuse
I agree. I don't really get the point of it.
it did.
Eh I think they recreated that scene just fine.

I think it's pretty funny. I don't think any of them are taking it seriously, least of all Disick.
It's okay not to get humor. Like most "creative" arts it's subjective. It wasn't trying to be deep or subtle. It was just a comedy sketch. I think it conveys the albums schizo like complex pretty well.
god, im really so disappointed in yeezus. After "Dark" I thought - NO I believed that he had turned the corner. He was going to pull of the rap epics that Led Zeppelin did for metal, Michael did for Pop etc.
But he gives me this minimalism bullshit. wow. If you were going to that - he should have gone to Japan and continue to learn how it REALLY WORKS (and IT TAKES YEARS TO GET IT RIGHT). He didn't need rick rubin. he's good but in sprits and fits. He needed some DJ Kenn, some Enka, then Daft Punk. Im going like what is this I don't even on half the damn songs!

Didn't like the album at 1st, but I am warming up to it. 10 tracks not counting bonus makes it feel short. Initially I liked about 25% of the album and now I'm up to about 50%.
Still think this is a step back from Twisted Fantasy though.

Not a big rap fan, but I really love this record. 
oh I see what you did there.
no...its that...he wanted to go darkwave which is fine, but their some good darkwave rappers he could have gotten something from.
He doesn't have one song in yeezus that stands out outside of bound and bound is a retread to his graduation days (which is one of the great albums of the last decade and a top ten rap album of all time) Its almost like Daft Punk used Yeezus to make their Album (RAM) better than it had to be. Yeezus needed something in the order of proggy metal to make some sort of impact. Em does it with his samples and he makes it work.

Sorry, I "got" the humor, I've seen the film and like it quite a bit. Actually quite laughable you would insinuate someone doesn't "get" something because they think it was done poorly
Kanye just recreates the scene and his album the the topic with some terrible actor
Maybe you're having trouble getting that if kanye takes a shit and films it, it's not genious

not feeling this after two listens on the computer with Amazon dl.
next listen will be with headphones with Amazon dl or in the car with CD.
kinda liking Guilt Trip a bit. Maybe I got a soft spot for Kid Cudi working with Kanye, since it's the only time I seem to like anything Cudi is doing these days.

No, he tried to get James Franco but got shut down, he was stuck with them
I know I'm a day late on this, but I would argue that the incident made TS a household name in all of America, not just the country fans and pop-singing girls. I knew who she was, only because she was one of my ex's favorite artists at the time.
Right now I bet half of the people in this thread(including me) couldn't name 5 country singers who have released an album in the past year. Kanye's incident just made Taylor more popular with the "only listen to pop radio" crowd.
Lol as you post some shit from your fingertips...

Sorry you are offended, kanyes short film sucks, but keep on thinking its citizen Kane
He's not saying that, ken why are you always so butthurt.
First listen impressions, not really liking it. I do like Black Skinhead, first time hearing that, but the rest of the album isn't really grabbing me. A lot of the songs sound almost too simplistic and repetitive.
Worth noting I love all Kanye's previous albums except 808s which I didn't enjoy at all.
Entirely possible it'll grow on me, gonna wait a bit before another listen

I've gotten to the point where I can enjoy most of the tracks despite Kanye. This is easily his worst album imo

HOW ??
This album shits all over 808s & Heartbreak. I even put it above Graduation.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
This is the first album that has ever made me feel old, it all sounded like random ass super annoying noise.
Not a fan, liked his previous albums tho.

I bought it from Wal Mart with the yellow tape and from what I can tell there isn't any difference.
