YEEZUS?

In a time where the "hottest MC in the game" cud be logically summed to a fat ex-cop with a 16track album that uses about 3 n a half different beats, the hiphop community in general has grown accustomed to mediority and monotony. Not knockin Ross (i thought Teflon Don was like a 9/10) but we as a community have been stuck for a whilleee recyclin styles and flows and beats, to top charts and sell records. This being said what Kanye West did with Yeezus was bold and very much anti-cliche. Like it or not it commands a shit load of respect.

I don't feel like this album can be reviewed the conventional track by track way, the guerilla style release of this album, has as much to do with the music as the fuckin 808's and samples on the records themselves. Worldwide building projections, no singles, no artwork... no fuckin booklet(i knw i own a physical copy), this was Mr. West's big "fuck everybody, i can do what the fuck i want" moment. I felt this way after i lost my virginity, no bs. That being said, the tracks express that emotion perfectly, from the blaring synths(im not sure if thats hw u spell that word, i aint no musical genius) and rifts on the opening track "On Sight" to the fuckin name of the third track "I Am A god". Assuming we have all listened to the album (if you haven't you got no business breathing right now) i need not break down the tracks but more so whether or not i think it was "great" or "garbage". Ye gave us some classic moments of brilliance on this album, that's for sure. The rawness of Blk Skin Head, Blood On The Leaves(top 10 ye of all time worthy), the graphic I'm In It and eveybody's soulful favourite Bound 2. The Cons? in my opinion not enough verses from Mr. West... that's it.


Allow me to conclude by explaining that last part, (yea this shit was short sweet and to the point PLUS it all adds up). Kanye West gave us 10 tracks that went completellyy left field, but yet still they all manage to go in there own little direction(mindfuck). He did something NO ONE would dare to do in our time, and execution was perfect for the purpose of this album. If Kanye West went up and projected "Good Life with fuckin T-Pain" on buildings all over the world, people would fckin leave "mid projection" and walk home like WTF? Instead he shocked us with hiphop in a form we NEVER thought it could be expressed in. Kanye is still being Late Registration/Graduation Ye on severall moments on this album, he is just executing it in way he knows just might piss 90 percent of us off, which is thee point. Genius.

I asked everybody who told me this album was garbage, why was it garbage? Most if not all said this, "Idk its not for me i dont like it" so i said well what song/songs do you like? i promise 90% of them listed 6 or 7 songs. That 65% of the album they ALL like, but yet still its bullshit because well "it aint for you or it sounds dumb, or its not hip hop". I thought the album as brilliant, 10 songs that served their purpose perfectly. Every great artist has this moment in their career where they go against the grain and take a leap. Kanye had TWO of those(rmb 808's). I thought all the songs on this album were great, they invoked emotion in me which is what music is supposed to do, and it appealed in a way that i have never gotten from hiphop music. My rating, 9.25/10. Standout tracks... YEEZUS.(real tlk tho all except on sight and guilt trip)

Not ur average run of the mill review, i knw i knw, but rmb its Yeezus im reviewing, u knw that shitty album that we all hate, that was so unconventional hiphop-wise? how else was i  supposed to do this... the proper way? Peace Bruh!
