Album would have been 10/10 if Black Skinhead and I Am A God were replaced with better tracks, otherwise I say its Kanyes best album by a wide margin. The album isnt accesible but when it hits, it hits. Another aspect I liked is how alot of the songs are landscapes rather than your standard generic verse-hook x2 formula, in a way the music moves similar to a composition in structure and if this style is widely adopted it can take rap music as a genre to another level

One last thing I realize with this album is that Hiphop fused with Reggae type vocals are absolutely GOAT, didnt realize it till now.
Respect by Biggie, The intro to lets Ride By Dre, Mo Fire by Wayne, cant think of anymore but all those songs are a testamnt to this fact etc etc

Classic, critical acclaim status joint. Once you listen to Yeezus with it's sheer raw emotion & angst it's hard to go back to Ye's early stuff & look at in the same light. It makes every other joint look childish forreal. My fav Kanye album hands down, had to listen to it a couple of times to really appreciate the album, at first I hated it but now it's just :blessed: Status.

The album is vulgar & unapologetic brehs, the lyrics ,although simple, are profound. & the raw violent beats are just :banderas: This is art. 10/10. & the way this nikka place bound 2 at the end to give y'all a taste of the signature yeezy soul beats is just :datazz:

Any album with Bound 2 and Blood on the Leaves on it isn't trash. Dude tried too hard to be different. He should really go back to his Late Registration style norm for his next album.
