Kanye West - YE (Discussion Thread)

[tonyclifton]

I’m convinced these were the beats Nas picked for his record and someone smart switched it with Ye

 

[Ribbs]

Ye or Nay?

 

[Jasonmask]

People really wasnt fukking with yeezus like that? I felt like kanye needed a new sound and he did it with yeezus. I can understand if people dont like it but I dont think it was trash. Blood on the leaves, bound 2 etc.

Close minded nikkas that like that basic rap

 

[Love Sosa]

I fukk w it

Kanye confirms that after the TMZ interview he threw all the songs he was working on in the bushes and began to work on the songs that appear on this album



also talks about how he changed his subject matter because of all the criticism he got for the slavery/trump comments.

It's alright. The beats are good but it's too short and the subject material and lyricism is sub par. Kanye's actual rappin has fallen off, people just like the personality and voice at this point. Still, not a BAD album, I'll have to listen to it a few more times but for now it's just alright.

 

[CarltonJunior]

that song is cool, but I agree, lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

The beat and verse was cool but the singing was trash. I guess I can see how dudes with daughters would like it but it's not all that powerful. And this is coming from a nikka that's heard songs that made him cry.

That Big K.R.I.T. album

The vocals are way too high on mutiple tracks and the drums don't knock at normal listening levels because of it. This is most notable on Ghost Town (execept for the big 2nd half snare) and Yikes

I don't care about your high end audio equipment. Money doesn't buy good taste. I am confident that Kanye used high end equipment when making it

Audio is fine.

He just didn't add extra drums sound like he just used the drums in the original record...

Not everything is meant to "knock", hard to believe i know....



As for yikes, I guess I can see what your saying cuz the 808 note he used is too low for most systems to pick up without a sub I guess ...

But that's more of the sound he picked not the mixing

 

[cartierhoe]

I put my hand on a stooooooooooooooove

to see if I still bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That shyt was hard lol

 

[cartierhoe]

I'm just now listening, I don't know what to feel or say about this shyt right now. I kinda felt the same way after Pablo, so maybe it'll take a few more listens

 

[cartierhoe]

Definitely Kanye's "weirdest" project, even moreso than Yeezus. To yall who want old Kanye back, he ain't never coming back. I miss old Ye too but the nikka just wants to keep getting weirder with each project, he prolly feel like he's done all he can do by now as far as pure hip hop shyt. Just my 2 cents

 

[cartierhoe]

I am listening to the album. It's refreshing.
And I like the cover. nikka put his family and seems happy. Maturity is coming.
I am 30+ and tired of the daytona/bling cover. If you're close to 40 and still rapp about drigs and hoes, you're retarded.

The Coli will hate this album but it's like Jay 4.44. People grow ups.

Lowkey I feel the same way, it's mature for Ye. Don't agree with it being like 4:44 tho lol

 

[mozichrome]

3 songs in and i fukk with this album, easily better than Life of Pablo already

All Mine was just okay....kanye couldve redid that 2nd verse, it was not as good as the 1st

listened and kept every song except Ghost Town

 

[Dead End]

A damn near completely self-referential album, full of lyrics talking about people talking about you, is not more "mature" than drugs and sex. I could see being tired of the average rappers subject matter, but Kanye's is the equivalent of a slightly educated billionaire middle schooler.

There's no way you listened to this shyt and thought 4:44. Im not gonna believe that. Just say you like the album and keep it moving.
