Yeezus was decent at best, but you'll always have nikkas who think they're smarter or they're "listening to music the right way" for championing a different sound like it's the greatest shyt ever.
That's no shots to the nikka who genuinely liked it

, im talking to the nikkas who weren't really feeling the album but pretended to cuz they knew sooner or later all the reviewers would give it 10/10's and make them feel like some type of musical geniuses... Premeditated dikk Riding
in my honest opinion, the only reason alot of nikkas switched and started saying Yeezus was AOTY status was because they got used to listening to it, it's just like when a shytty song comes on the radio and you hate it, but they keep playing it so much that eventually it doesn't bug you as much anymore, the song itself didn't get ANY better, you just got used to it so now it's not as bad. But the thing with that is... we live in a time where everything is either complete garbage or it's the best thing ever created, so since nikkas got used to Yeezus, it can't be garbage anymore, so they bumped it up to AOTY status immediately
it's ridiculous how many people were shytting on yeezus before the reviews came out and before this kanye interview came out
it just shows how easy it is to control how people think when they desperately want to believe in something. Those same nikkas hated yeezus, but they wanted kanye to have a good album soooooo bad that when other people made it cool to say "yeezus is dope" they all jumped on it
he could put out an album of him farting and nikkas would be like "hold up i gotta listen to this for a while before i decide if it's good or not

" but what they really sayin is "i gotta wait until enough people cosign this before i say anything so i wont look like a dikk rider"
then of course you got the blatant dikkriders who'll cosign anything that nikka does because they dont have a father to look up to
