"But first, you gon' remember how to forget
After all these long-ass verses"
Sounds exactly like D. brown to me.

Ok, his endings on the majority of yeezus are the best in the world bar none.
what makes the album disappointing was that he could have move towards something closer to Gorgeous/Lost In the World on dark fantasy - Good Morning/Everything I Am on graduation and kept BlackSkin Head/New Slaves/Bound 2 (the latter is a MUCH darker song than people realize - it may be the darkest song the whole fucking album) and he would have been the best album this year bar none with at least two of the songs reaching "Stairway to Heaven" status.

Even though it wasn't punchline rappity rap the lyrics were intelligent and thoughtful. Much more so than its contemporaries in that era. Kanye built his following off of the lyrics.
i actually think it's one of my favourite kanye songs
I'm with you here - I like the whole album, but I continually go back to New Slaves. Great song IMO.

chief keef's hook is so good, combined with bon iver's vocals too. and that 80s michael mann synth followed by the guitar solo omg.

Since people thought MBDTF was the Mona Lisa of rap.

Great Timbaland interview, talks about his feelings on yeezus and he loves the album. The dude REALLY wants to work with kanye on a yeezus follow up, has tonnes of praise for kanye. Also addresses that suit and tie diss that I know a lot of gaf likes to mention to stir shit up, as if they hate each other, which of course is bullshit, he's completely cool with it.

Watched this after listening to MCHG and I feel the same way about Yeezus really hope he get his wish to co-produce a album with Ye.
I can see why. Just not a fan of what he is putting out now. Too bad, always like his earlier stuff, but the new stuff is horrendous for the most part.
Comments like these are indicators to me of a good artist tbh, always making sure to move forward instead of getting trapped doing the same old shit until it's stale. If each album is appealing to a different subset of people and tastes than that's great (as long as the albums themselves are actually great and excel at those respective sounds of course). Kanye nails this in my opinion, look at 808s, some people detest that album and others have it as their favourite kanye album. Same thing is happening for Yeezus.
Co-sign.

I appreciate artists making changes to their sound. I draw parallels with Radiohead when I think of Kanye.
Wow that is an amazing gift for kanye.
And I would love a kanye timbo yeezus 2. That would be so good.

Love it always liked dancehall music seems like a natural progession since Kanye's been using it in his since Mercy.
Mercy was that perfect sample. It was just too good. Ninjas would be singing it and not even know what the hell they were saying.
Do you think Khaled helped with that

That and Blocka go tooo hard.

Nah. The reason for the drop off is because unlike any of those other albums, Yeezus hasn't released any singles. We'll see how the album does after Black Skinhead + any other singles come out.
MBDTF dropped 78%
Kanye's sales have become increasingly front loaded so the drop is hardly that unexpected, especially considering Yeezus is polarizing.

No single, but I heard Blood On The Leaves on the radio a couple weeks back. One of my roommates also heard I Am A God a week before that.

"Black Skinhead" video up on his site. Haven't seen the whole thing but apparently there's CGI nudity, so NSFW warning just in case.

Cool video, but the SNL performance is soooo much better. Would have been best to just reproduce that performance or something similar ...
Why am I getting asked for a password?
