i say this all the time. If he would of stuck to this formula breh would of been michael jackson status by now. Instead this nikka wants to be boy George
Tbh that Good Life sound > w/e was on yeezus (although on sight was a progressive step forward, and bound 2 was just classic sampling from Ye)

man, i absolutely love the song "flashing lights". from very openin' line of "she don't believe in shootin' stars but she believe in shoes and cars"
then the beat, it's smooth and laid back and yet somewhere out of space or the early mornin' sunlight feel along with dwele who was perfect for singin' on the hook because he doesn't sing over the beat or behind it and then the video had muthafukkin' rita g in it walkin' in slow motion with a bikini on

808's nor yeezus comes close to graduation and i like both 808s and yeezus but neither of those albums compare to graduation
Its honestly one of the most ground-breaking songs in the genre.man, i absolutely love the song "flashing lights". from very openin' line of "she don't believe in shootin' stars but she believe in shoes and cars"
NOTHING like that had been done before.
Yeezus is gonna get so much love in a few years. I already feel it.@Yoda what abou yeezus?

i KNEW it was gonna be that.
Set the album off perfectly.When it came out, it was literally like the first song to truly try something different. It was a complete gamble.
We're not talking andre 3000 level where he was more funk based, this was purely like a revolution in sonics because of how it was mixed and the production on it. It was like a mix of current dance music, electronica, and that classic hip-hop sound. Its hard to describe if you're younger since this is all many of you know nowadays
There was NOTHING Like it when it came out.
Even the synths weren't something that were being used yet. That low-fi sound you hear now thats been popularized? Not popular at the time. I doubt anyone in the mainstream was doing it.
It was like the precursor to all that moody music you hear on soundcloud but it wasn't like that 90s chill wave jazz hip-hop...this was something fresh
Heres the thing, when everyone heard it, they INSTANTLY knew it was unique. It was damn near the moment when people realized that Kanye had basically created something unique.
Flashing Lights (Kanye West song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many music publications rated it one of the best songs of the decade in ANY genre, and certainly among the best in the year it came out.
It was such a huge song he did THREE videos for it:
