that's a horrible comparison actually and if you feel the sonic sound scape of yeezus is just fukking noise than i don't know what to tell you but id listen to it with headphones and actually listen to that noise some more its Prince Paul level of sampling for the new ageIt was Written was ballsy? I never got the hate for It Was Written...people more hated the image Nas had took on at the time, with the whole Pink suit thing. But It was Written to it's credit showcased some of the best rapping I've ever heard from Nas. Quite possibly his peak (Take it In Blood, Suspect, Shootouts, etc). Lyrically it was much, much better than Illmatic. It just wasn't as solid.
Yeezus is just fukking noise, better comparison would be everyone calling Nastradamus classic now after shytting on it when it came out...which isn't ever going to happen.
