Support NeoGAF

[Yaphett Kotto]

i hear it's just gonna be 12 tracks of Bound 2

UH HUH HONEY

lmao, would be AOTY

 

[GWX]

Just realized Kanye, Kendrick and Drake are dropping albums soon. We eatinnn

Shit's gonna be wild, son. Can't freaking wait.

 

[overcast]

Can't fucking wait.

If we get Kendrick and Kanye in a year, OT/Gaf-Hop will eat themselves. Not sure Drake or Kendrick drop like somebody said though.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Hopefully the disappointing year for rap albums turns around soon!

We'll always have NEON iCON

 

[Courage]

Yeezus is arbitrary music

That makes zero sense.

 

[ohlawd]

Ye, I fucking love you breh but when are you gonna make an album as good as College Dropout or Late Registration?

 

[Bacon]

That makes zero sense.

Yeah i didn't know what he meant by that either.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Yeezus is arbitrary music

 

[Syphon Filter]

Ye, I fucking love you breh but when are you gonna make an album as good as College Dropout or Late Registration?

My man.

 

[Vandova]

Ye, I fucking love you breh but when are you gonna make an album as good as College Dropout or Late Registration?

Agreed.

 

[ampere]

Yes, that's the articles source.

Yea so old news.

I'm ready for a new album when it comes out

 

[Blearth]

Ye, I fucking love you breh but when are you gonna make an album as good as College Dropout or Late Registration?

2010 and 2013

 

[EloquentM]

So fitting

 

[ohlawd]

My man.

Agreed.

LR dropped on 2005. Been almost a decade since that goodness.

come on Ye, I know you can do it. Just one more album that good again and I won't ask for anymore. Can keep doing that art shit afterward for all I care.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Ye, I fucking love you breh but when are you gonna make an album as good as College Dropout or Late Registration?

That Kanye is never coming back bro.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I'd put Graduation with those two as well.

 

[Blearth]

Fuck whatever y'all been hearin'

 

[Pinko Marx]

I'd put Graduation with those two as well.

Nope nope nope.

 

[KAL2006]

I loved every Kanye except for Yeazus and 808s, let's hope this one delivers.

 

[ohlawd]

I'd put Graduation with those two as well.

I'd hesitate to group Graduation with his first two but it's way better than the recent shit he's put out.

 

[EloquentM]

And the kanye cycle continues. Every fucking time

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Can't wait

LET THE LEGEND COME BACK TO LIFE!

Yeezus is one of his best in my opinion. Raw, energetic, emotional, no filler. It's the album MBDTF wanted to be.

I liked how experimental it was, but other than that it was an okay album

 

[Dereck]

This gif couldn't be more appropriate lmao

 

[solarus]

Hopefully it's not rushed like Yeezus was.

Before people go off on me, I'm a big Ye fan. However, if you read interviews about Yeezus, they were scrapping whole material and re-doing entire songs 2 weeks before it was done. Ye didn't even finish writing and recording some of his lines until days before the deadline and it was turned in. If you love the album, that's great. But at least to me, I feel it's one of the more under-polished things he's done (which isn't really fitting of Ye, since he puts a lot of time and effort into most of his work). I feel it suffers because of it. Although maybe for some, this is what they find great about it. *shrugs*

From the GQ interview
Were you mad when Rick Rubin came out and said that you did half the vocals on Yeezus in two hours before hopping on a plane?
Yeah! Because yeah, I rapped them. But I worked on them for like eight months! And the thing is, I had to finish the verses in order for the album to come out, and it's game time. I didn't freestyle those verses. That shit was worked and processed and Disneyfied and everything. By the way, those lines are super scary and serious, and everything that I'm saying on Yeezus is super politically direct, so I think that it's funny that you said that, because I think he needs to clarify that to people—that I didn't make it up in that time. I just said them in that time.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Any word on how it sounds? Will it be like his old (good) music, or like his last (bad)album?

 

[Fjordson]

Kanye Cycle #42356 initiated.

Ye, I fucking love you breh but when are you gonna make an album as good as College Dropout or Late Registration?

Probably never =[

Can't believe it's been almost a decade since since LR.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Watch him droppin it out of nowhere Bey style.

How is doing that bey style?

 

[solarus]

How is doing that bey style?

Because beyonce's album just dropped out of nowhere onto iTunes.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Because beyonce's album just dropped out of nowhere onto iTunes.

Yea I know that but artists have done that before her.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Yea I know that but artists have done that before her.

Cmon son.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Cmon son.

[Uno Venova]

Kanye's ↑+A must be amazing

 

[Smooth Operator]

"Step aside plebians"

Seymour & Edea

 

[Emperor Bohe]

can't wait.

and Yeezus is still a dope cd to me. idk why it gets so much hate.

oh man I can't stop laughing at that gif, and I have no idea why

 

[Cheddahz]

"Step aside plebians"

Is he trying to re-create the wedding scene from Final Fantasy X?

 

[thezerofire]

Ye, I fucking love you breh but when are you gonna make an album as good as College Dropout or Late Registration?

Relivin' the past? Your loss

 

[Servbot24]

1 LR
2 CD
3 MBDTF
4 G
5 808s
6 Y

All of them fantastic. Ye is the creative successor to The Beatles and Radiohead.

Btw his old shit may be the strongest but he absolutely should NOT go back to that shit. I betcha it's just fuckin Pharrell fans asking for that.

 

[overcast]

Asking for old Kanye back. Yawn. Acting like Kanye ain't still king of the game cause he keeps the listener on their toes.

If you guys want old Kanye.

 

[studyguy]

Oh man those pictures, Kanye X SE getting ready to drop FFXV

 

[Uno Venova]

I would love old Kanye back, the quality of his albums was better. Do I need the sound to be the same? Not really.

If that's me living in the past, OK.

 

[HiResDes]

If that's me living in the past, OK.

It is.

 

[Servbot24]

Can you imagine how corny Kanye making another All Falls Down would be?

Now if he wants to make new Gone, well that I'll have to think about.

 

[Syphon Filter]

It is.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[IrishNinja]

feel how you feel about yeezus, but 808's shits on MBDTF from a high place
this is empirically verifiable, as seen in numerous peer-reviewed journals

We'll always have pinata

fixed

And the kanye cycle continues. Every fucking time

we didn't get dressed up for nothin'

Any word on how it sounds? Will it be like his old (good) music, or like his last (bad)album?

that was in 2010, man; let it go

Nothing wrong with that.

i enjoy my classic shit alla time, but yes, if you expect an artist to be where they were 10 years ago & evoke those feelings as though they/you were stagnant creatures, you do both of yourselves a disservice

they thought I'd make another "Illmatic"
but it's always forward I'm movin/never backwards, stupid; here's another classic

 

[Hypemaster]

Do not disappoint me this time Ye.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Imagine taking a class and finding out Kanye West is your teacher lol

 

[Cuphead]

Kan yay!

 

[real_slime]

Imagine taking a class and finding out Kanye West is your teacher lol

what's the story behind this one?
