808's and Yeezus were both ahead of their time.

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Didn't start appreciating both until recently. Especially Yeezus.

And Yeezus is the type of record you bump when you're successful. You bump this record in a late model vehicles on a parkway or freeway on a friday or saturday night with a bad chick in the passenger seat headed somewhere to live it up. It just sounds under those conditions.

808s had a couple of nice songs but yeezus was asscheeks except for bound 2 and I am a god...and this is coming from a ye´ fan

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Kanye has yet to disappoint

we need another yeezus

powerful music that symbolizes success

So you're saying this song was wack

 

[malbaker86]

808's is that shyt

 

[Lord Piffington]

So you're saying this song was wack

I actually forgot about this one breh.. yea this track is nice

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Half of 808's was skipable, the majority of Yeezus was.

As someone registered on a hiphop forum you guys should be more conscious with your elevation of mediocrity.

 

[mortuus est]

I dont think yeezus was ahead of its time, the production is really what you hear today from all over the world, so no

 

[Harry B]

Yeezus 5 mics should've went triple

808s, 3.5-4 mics, good album creative and all that but not Kanye standard.
The interesting thing with yeezus is that people either love it or hate it, there's very few albums like that.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Yeezus was fukking awful. When will you nikkas stop hyping up this trash?

It really wasn't that bad.

 

[SoulController]

he followed suit on Yeezus, EDM is everywhere its not like Daft Punk were some new guys to try out. they been huge in their realm for over 15 years

the song formats were contrived, the overly emotional parts seemed forced. the good tracks are brilliant, but the rest is pretty bad

 

[Eddie Jordan]

People sayin ye we need another yeezus

 

[J Money]

Cant lie, I hated on Yeezus without giving it a real hard listen. Its been a boring sunday and thought why not...

This tune is a straight up masterpiece, cant lie. New slaves is great as well

Thats it though There was about 2 other songs i liked but didnt feel any of the others tbh. I can see why people feel Yeezus hard though

 

[Will McLean]

Whether or not Yeezus is ahead of its time is up for descussion but to me it's definitely a record like no other nowadays, I don't think that warrants debate

As somebody else pointed out EDM is everywhere and yeah you can argue Ye is just following trends in other genres but name another artist of Kanye's stature in this day and age going on Saturday Night Live and putting on a performance like this:



Regardless of whoever wrote that song that's Ye by his own damn self standing on stage spitting those lyrics, makin em mad



I listen to a lot of electronic music and all I can remember hearing about from last summer was a lot of big name producers and DJ's praising this album for pushing not only hiphop but other genres of music forward, especially into the mainstream

For instance, this song hit number one in the UK using the "Bound 2." sample


Another drum and bass remix



Lyrically I won't lie some songs could have been better from that perspective so from someone who only listens primarily to rap I understand where you're coming from if you didn't enjoy the album.. Could've used more Late Registration era Kanye in that regard it actually sounded like he was trying to rap back then
