Was Kanye wrong for blood on the leaves?

[It is a mystery]

YEEZUS is easily one of my favorite albums but I dont know about this song brehs




Blood on the leaves by kanye is supposed to be a flip on the song strange fruit. Strange fruit was a powerful song about black ppl being lynched in America. Kanye made his version about amber rose talking to the media about him. The beat goes hard but isnt this inappropriate for the doom and serious nature that the original song was trying to present?

Was blood on the leaves really a good idea?

Hardest song on Yeezus . I do wish he saved the beat for a pro black track tho but this is new Kayne

 

[BocaRear]

It was referring to a kind of media lynching I guess

he sampled the Nina Simone version

NOTHING IS SACRED.

 

[An ashy lil fap hand]

He's sampled a lot of Nina simone and stuff in general. The sample doesn't dictate the song. We don't even know what people are saying half the time especially with Ye.

We coulda been somebody

Look little nikka, KANYE IS A fukkING ARTIST. The only you can ask an artist is "thank you". I'm feeling like Pablo (Escobar) right now, I am NOT about to let you sit here and question the GOD.

 

[The Fire]

It was a beautiful and powerful flip. Nobody samples like Kanye even 10 years after college dropout

Dope fukking song. OP stop complaining.

Kanye could have made a deeper song but he talked about his pain OP.
