Yeezus reviews are in (and they're not good)

[mozichrome]

This album is so beyond anything in mainstream Hip-Hop, I'm not sure how anyone really can have an opinion on it already.

would you mind giving a run down on what makes this album so advanced.....because i certainly do see it.

i'm open to reading differences in opinions & i'd love to read your reasoning on this post

I get so sick of people trying to belittle others simply because they don't like an album. This shyt is trash. Just because some middle aged white reporter for the rolling stone calls it genius doesn't make it so. This album will definitely appeal to the rock and roll/house music crowd so of course those guys will eat this up.

If Yeezy came into the game with this crap he would get shytted on and rightfully so. Now it appears people are simply praising this garbage simply because they're fascinated by this clown. Its outrageous and pathetic at the same time.

On twitter it was just the opposite. People who didn't like it belittling people who do. Not liking things is the cool thing to do now anyway.

And whoever said that you know if an album is classic the first time you listen to it is a gotdamn lie.

All that being said, I haven't heard the album yet so watching all of these opinions is pretty entertaining.

for the record....let me just say that the playability potential for this album is low for me EARLY. i've revisited this album a few times and my ears don't like it....WTT was a toss up for a while until it became a true favorite. i still have my pat riley face on 3 listens later...i don't even like any of the quotables. i'm a kanye west fan but i'm going with my first instincts. i don't like it...not that it matters...but i'm really still in shock about how unmoved i am by this project. Ye' has really never disappointed me before. maybe i need a don c snakeskin snapback, some balmain denim, some leather b-ball shorts and givenchy tee's to get in the mood.

WTF is this bullshyt

Yeezus is an album that is pregnant with beautiful vulgarity. Lines like “Black **** all in your spouse again/And I know she like chocolate men/She got more ****** off than Cochran” and “I'll **** your Hampton spouse/Came on her Hampton blouse/And in her Hampton mouth” are comedic and disrespectful. We don’t know if he’s being serious or joking. We don’t care and that’s the genius of Kanye.

This shyt is more simple than the auntie team line

She say "Can you get my friends in the club?"
I say "Can you get my Benz in the club?"
If not, treat your friends like my Benz
Park they ass outside 'til the evening end


Kanye out here dropping bars

You don't understand the context he is using genius. He's not talking about genius in the sense that you're thinking of, he's talking about genius in a connudrum type of way. stop being dense.

he was pointing out the line was vulgar (crude, impolite, coarse), not that it was complex.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

This is one of the few times I hope Pitchfork comes with that hot fiery bitter Arts-grad literary ether

Even though the reviewer will prolly expound paragraphs on their

reaction when they heard BOUND 2 and compare it to Dark Side of The Moon or some shyt

I feel like Fantano might be on our side for this one though

The album is OKAY, but someone needs to bell-curve the shyt

 

[T-K-G]

The same people hating on this album hype up every Gucci Mane mixtape full of throwaway tracks

generalizations like this have me every time

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

the only people i've seen say positive things about this album are white people and stans.

what does that tell you?

That its not Hiphop.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

People really hate the album??? Give it more than 1 spin and play it in good speakers to get everything in. I swear you'll enjoy it. Really the only things I could complain about are the lack of Kanye beats and that "On Sight" garbage.

I've got it on two 12s and two 10s. Its doo doo.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

man once nikkas start talking about

"you gotta really listen doe"

or

"you gotta bump this in the whip doe"

or

"make sure ya headphones is plugged all the way in doe"

and shyt like that, the album is always garbage. Real good albums you know on a first listen. This shyt TRASH.

First time I heard "Juicy" was on alarm clock speakers. Didn't need big subwoofers to know the song was bumpin'.
