he's back!
Man yall are overreacting. YEEZUS was WACK but 
That Wack azz album did the same numbers(if not more) as both Wale's and J cole's albums which were actually decent.
Not to mention Dude had the internet goin nuts for a good month.
Just face it, YE aint goin nowhere anytime soon. He's too big to just fall off like that. He put a weak album out and it still was able to move UNITS.
Dude was just on some experimental ish. (ala 808's & Heartbreaks)

finally somebody gets what this thread is about
Kanye has dropped enough great material to the point where he's allowed a dud. Prince had duds. Pink Floyd had duds. All the legends have duds...You need a reality check if you think a human can create greatness every go 'round.
Its funny how people talk about how dude is wack and they point to YEEZUS as an example of why Ye is garbage but those are really the same cats who said he was garbage when MBDTF dropped and when Graduation dropped. Some folks need to just admit that they cant stand the guy and leave it at that. Me, I dont really care for his antics or how arrogant he is, as long as he give us GOOD music

again, what are you talking about?
go post some story about some random girl you know who gave head to Sadat X
I actually LIKE the new album. Took me about 3 listens but I honestly LIKE it, like, I'll willingly play it (repeatedly)
I just feel he's lost out here without Donda. Guy is making real music though, not staying in the 3 feet, but jumping off the damn diving board

It's all relative, in the sense that he ain't as big as he was say circa Graduation...but nah, I wouldn't classify where he's at now as a downfall...the album wasn't that well received from what was at one point maybe his core fanbase (mainstream rap fans)...but it's still doing good enough numbers and he still has the current crop of people that make up the kanye base calling him a genius and the savior of contemporary black culture or whatever the fukk ole boy Christopher Browns is going on about in this thread 
.... who knows how far the critical fawning over Yeezus will continue, he could sweep year-end lists and get carried all the way to a Grammy AOTY nomination and possibly win it...
I think what we're really seeing right now is him becoming less of a "rap star" and more of just a super mainstream tabloid pop culture staple...i mean, he just had a baby with Kim fukking Khardashian...so core rap fans may not dig him as much, but it ends up not really mattering because he's expanded/shifted his draw...far as the rap side goes, Jay is trending high right now...they release WTT 2 sometime in the near future and the hip hop and mainstream music media will be writing about having transcendent religious experiences and
'ing all over the place at the listening sessions...and the cycle continues

You're a weirdo....You just quoted someone right above my last post who said the same exact thing I said about how every music legend has a dud in their history and u gave them kudos. You're obviously not serious about your own topic.
A lot of hip hop listeners, the ones who are "stuck" with a certain sound, are not going to fukk with yeezus. It's too left field. It pushes too many boundaries, it strays too far from the comfort zone.
Some people enjoy being pushed out of that box by music. They get a thrill out of something that sounds fresh and inventive.
The reality of yeezus is that it melds a lot of ideas that haw been even more left field and even more progressive as packages them together as a sort of more mainstream ready release. It's something that only Kanye and his team have the platform and skills to pull off.
The album was impressive, especially from a production standpoint. Lyrically he can still kill a song, New Slaves/White Dress and some others are proof. I think lyrically Kanye was highly influenced by the trap movement.
What his bars on the album lack in more traditional lyrical standards they attempt to make up for in delivery, presence, structure, repitition, etc.
You might rebel against it, because it's rebelling against you, but hip hop needs albums like Yeezus. Hopefully it'll save us from a few more Magna Carta's and Born Sinners.
