Well... its true.

Im not saying that everyone who doesn't like Yeezus just "doesn't get it", but if you really think its THAT bad, you definitely dont get it.

Its not for everyone but if you know what he's going for Yeezus is, at worst, a rushed album.

just because i have criticisms about this body of work doesn't mean i don't get it....as a matter of fact...these concepts are simple and easily broken down. there's nothing cryptic or ironic with yeezus. it's a very thin transparent album that even i, a true day one kanye fan, am still shocked about. there's nothing to "get" here. kanye's known for being blatantly talented...he's not an ironic guy. but now he puts a little euro-centric industrialized sounds in hip hop and people who don't want to admit it sucks want to act like it's more than it is. it's flimsy and it sounds bad.

This isn't a hip hop album though thats the thing. Lyricism doesn't really matter as long he brings the energy to match the production.

Punk Rock singers made a whole career out of jus bringing raw energy to the music.

LOL, don't you dare compare this vapid, overproduced, pretentious stadium prog-rap to punk rock, ever, son

Their best album doesn't have the energy of Yeezus. Except Holiday In Cambodia. That shyt is harddddddd
:blessed:



And the energy on Plastic Surgery Disasters >>> Yeezus. But to each his own. :manny: I feel that tons of punk records are way more energetic than Yeezus. Kanye's rapping tones down the energy of the beats to me.

I can respect the album for what it is(minimalist presence, Yeezus going for a more industrialist sound, and the message he's pushing) but that said, I just don't find an attachment to the album like everybody else.

Yeezy fans don't wanna let that happen. I enjoyed when Ye put out Stronger, while everyone trashed it. I enjoyed 808's when nikkas trashed it. I don't really find anything about this album that makes me love it, but i can still respect it.

No offense, but you're delusional. This album has nothing in common at all with punk. It is more similar to the progressive rock genre that punk partially reacted against than anything. Overproduced, needlessly complex and existing seemingly to show how talented the artist is. Yeezus is the 6 minute guitar solo, the symbol of a pampered artist in the upper echelons of society becoming bored with his own craft.

If anything, stuff like Chief Keef and GBE, with the simplistic, threatening lyrics, along with their amateurish videos starring ashy young urban kids and stripped down beats is a better correlation to punk. Say what you want about them, but their easy to replicate thing has way more in common with the DIY grimey energy of punk than recording an album in Paris with top-level producers when you're not impregnating Greek-American heiresses.
