Kanye West's Yeezus has aged like fine wine.

My opinion on it was probably just poisoned by all the initial Death Grips comparisons, but I still think his sound here is pretty weak for the style he's going for. Really dig a few of the tracks though and should probably give it another spin soon
bound 2's some good cheesy kanye shit and i wont hear anything else

This post coupled with your avatar makes me miss the old Kanye West that used to make beats like he listened to dilla. Also, Yeezus is the worst album I've heard from an artist with a classic since Nas and Nastradamus.
Death Grips comparisons are just from casuals who hear nothing but generalizations of a surface, pay them no mind.

There's no way Yeezus is as bad as The Life of Pablo

I like it, but I don't find it inspiring in how some of the beats were made like MBDTF.
Some songs on MBDTF I didn't like right a away but grew on me like Monster. Yeezus sounds a whola lot like that song throughout with the harsh style. Overall though, it's still some great rap that has at least a few Kanye favorites for me. Black Skinhead, Send it Up, and Blood on the Leaves all fucking kick it with that bass.
Not a fan of Pablo though. Yeesh.

Nah, he just ran out of good ideas to hire, that's all
"Yeezus is shit! It's industrial trash that shows Kanye lost it! I miss College Dropour Kanye! Why can't he put out good raps like that hot young kid J Cole?"
"Do you at least have a favorite track from it?"
"Oh yeah, I love Black Skinhead. New Slaves is pretty good too. Blood on the Leaves is fantastic. Hold My Liqour is pretty epic as well. Bound 2 is great, it really reminded me of the old Ye."
Everytime.

I wasn't wild about it the first few times I listened, but it definitely grew on me over time. Not really into ranking albums, but I'd most likely put it at the upper end of his discography. His first 3 albums have a lot of nostalgia going for them (especially CD), but I think Yeezus is more listenable today.
A lot of people called it at the time, but things seemed to have followed through now insofar as it having an 808s effect. Polarizing at the time, but over time it has become clearer the influence it's had on the genre. It just was Travi$ Scott this time around instead of KiD CuDi.

yeezus isn't music it's just garbage noise. even kanye admitted that album was a rebellion against music.
808 is fucking great, it's hard for me to pick that or MBDTW as my favorite album of his

MBDTF is barely ahead of Yeezus for me, then Late Registration
agreed with Bound 2. that track is hot trash
He was the muse, was around for much of the process, his style runs through the whole project.
He's much more trap now, though. La Flame was a lot more eclectic back then.

The production on Yeezus is so so good. Its stripped back, brash and hard as it comes. He's got some real bangers on this album.
Its a challenging piece of work and i get why people don't like it. I honestly feel this is the album he pushed himself further than before. I love it when an artist expresses themselves and now we know how batshit crazy Kanye is i feel like this is his most honest album.
This is what he was working too. Its the amalgamation of everything that came before it. It's Kanye at his most Kanye i love it and i would love to hear his thoughts on it.
Yea Dark Fantasy album may have been his peak
Oh I see, so he did nothing
Murder to Excellence alone makes Watch the Throne better than TLOP IMO.

Haven't listened to it in years so I don't remember much, except for being a huge fan of its brief runtime.

"On Sight" is my favorite Kanye intro to an album.
Easily one of my favourite album intros period. The first time I heard that beat switch

Gesaffelstein collab probably put out the best track on it.
Some dope songs, some awful ones. 5/10 album.
I have to agree. Seems like he's responding now, instead of being the innovator.
