Remove his personal life and Yeezus is the most pro-black mainstream album in years.

I don't know about black excellence but it's pretty much Kanye talking about how racism ends up bleeding into his personal life. He wants to do a bunch of coke and fukk a lot of women but he can't stop thinking about lynchings. It's also about how oppression leads to oppression, in a way, like how living as a black man in america and facing the pressure to compete economically leads to women, gays, and anyone who isn't Kanye getting fukked over.

It's not pro-black in the sense that it's presenting positivity, it's Kanye embracing all his contradictions and that shyt is ugly.

I hope your family's dildo party went well, sincerely

The revisionism we bring to our understanding of the Civil Rights and black Nationalist movements has little to do with that of black conservatives like Thomas Sowell of Stanford's ultra-right wing Hoover Institute or Stanley Crouch, fired from the Village Voice. Nationalist pride continues to be one of the strongest forces in the black community and the New Black Aesthetic stems straight from that tradition. It is not an apolitical, art-for-art's-sake fantasy. We realize that despite this current buppie artist boom, most black Americans have seldom had it worse. But what most all the New Black Artists have in common is a commitment to what Columbia University philosopher Arthur Danto calls "Disturbatory Art"--art that shakes you up. The moral imperative of being black in America enrapts us with a militant juju that wards off cynical minimalism. In the NBA you won't find many spartan tales of suburban ennui, or technicolor portraits of Fred and Barney.

-Trey Ellis, "The New Black Aesthetic" (1989)

For me...............it was probably the most relatable to my life album Kanye has ever made. Just my personal opinion. My mom grew up in that civil rights era in the south. Ye said a lot on that album that made me . But I do want him to go back to just rappin instead of worrying about daily life. Have some fun Ye.

Hot basura will always get worse with age. That's what Yeezus is
