Is Kanye's lyricism on Yeezus excusable?

[ThaRealness]

I really, really fukking like the album, so I kind of justify it as hes just bringing a certain attitude and thats all that matters.. but idk seems like some critics are giving him the benefit of the doubt, some arent...

 

[KillSpray]

A good amount of classic kanye lines, but also a fair level of pushing it too far and feeling a little

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Well obviously pretty much everything Kanye does is not only excusable, because he's a tortured genius and all that good shyt, but also celebrated...critics are literally calling some of those wack ass lines "genius", so

Personally I prolly would've enjoyed the album more if he just had Lupe write the entire thing instead of just Black Skinhead...the whole " mindblowingly super uber revolutionary creative industrial electro rock soundscapes recorded in Paris, France" thing would've still sounded wack as fukk to me, sure...but would seem less ridiculous if he held to some consistent "black punk rock" theme like I was expecting coming in...instead outside of 2 songs we get the same shallow kanye stuff bout knocking up model side bytches, scratching your average regular person car with his expensive luxury vechicle, and him telling us dozens of different ways about just how fancy he is over garbage ass cac-critic pandering production

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Seems like it, because he's lyrically atrocious and nobody's really calling a spade a spade

I'm aware I'm a wolf
Soon as the moon hit
I'm aware I'm a king
Back out the tomb bytch
Black out the room, bytch
that imagery,dat lyrcism

fukk all yawl

"Y'all nikkas can't fukk with ye,Y'all nikkas can't fukk with ye,I'll move my family out the country so you can't see where I stay" doesn't do it for you bruh?

I fukk with the album but I have to say this is about as dead on and eloquently phrased as it gets regarding Kanye and this album. That's 'Ye though, and it's been him for a minute.

Da Gawd Wasalu wrote Black Skinhead?

"Y'all nikkas can't fukk with ye,Y'all nikkas can't fukk with ye,I'll move my family out the country so you can't see where I stay" doesn't do it for you bruh?

I personally fukks with "fukk your Hampton spouse, cum on her Hampton Blouse"

An album's worth of Lupe's songwriting coupled with the hype orgy surrounding everything Kanye does would make for some actually intriguing music

So the beat is from Marilyn Manson, produced by Daft Punk and lyrics written by Lupe?
