The last verse of "I'm in it" is great... until he ends it with that STUPID line about swaghilli.... lol. It baffles me.
I'm very late but the sample in the middle of On Sight is pure bliss.
"He'll give us what we need,
It may not be what we want"
Those two lines just sum up the whole yeezus fiasco.
Amazing.![]()
Time to take it too far nowThe last verse of "I'm in it" is great... until he ends it with that STUPID line about swaghilli.... lol. It baffles me.
Are cats here seriously making a case that google
algorithms are da reason his music is poppin up
More then his persona?da kanye yeezus![]()
experiment was a dud, da quicker he can
Lick his wounds and return To bound 2 form
Da quicker he can rebound from this foolishness..I thought this album was buried already. Kanye dropped the baton during the 3rd leg and let J.Cole pass him, then Jay unloaded Niagra Falls onto Kanye's fire took all his buzz![]()
Time to take it too far now
Uh, Michael Douglas out the car now
Uh, got the kids and the wife life
Uh, but can't wake up from the night life
Uh, I'm so scared of my demons
Uh, I go to sleep with a nightlight
Uh, my mind move like a Tron bike
Uh, pop a wheelie on the Zeitgeist
Uh, I'm finna start a new movement
Uh, being led by the drums
Uh, I'm a rap-lic priest
Uh, getting head by the nuns
Uh, they don't play what I'm playin'
Uh, they don't see what I'm sayin'
Uh, they be balling in the D-League
Uh, I be speaking Swaghili
This is GREAT? For really real?
If J. Cole said this same verse would it be great to you?
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say Hellllllllllll No!
Except for maybe "Electric Circus" none of those are bad albums... D3030 and LB/SB were awesome.Was curious, so I thought of as many "experimental" albums as I could in hip-hop to see how they stacked up (in the media's eyes) compared to Yeezus....
Here they are:
Yeezus

You prefer Swaghilli or Swagu?The last verse of "I'm in it" is great... until he ends it with that STUPID line about swaghilli.... lol. It baffles me.

And even "Electric Circus" if you listen to it now, isn't even really electronic music. There's like 1-2 techno type beats on the whole thing.
I referred to Electric Circus as "electronic" because the reason it caught the backlash it did at the time was because hip hop fans were literally like "this ***** lost his mind. no one is trying to hear techno rap." but that's because he was doing something not many people were doing at the time o the concept was new to rap fans. the same way I think in a few years 90% of the people on this board (the same people who were ******** on 808s, mind you -- you can dig in the crates and go look at how that thread went) will realize Yeezus isn't the failure they think it is.I'm not talking about electronic albums...just albums that are of an experimental nature. I own all of those except for Yeezus, and I think each of them is far better than what Kanye put out. I honestly fail to see the genius behind the Yeezus project.Except for maybe "Electric Circus" none of those are bad albums... D3030 and LB/SB were awesome.

The bars on a lot of the songs are weak. We know that. We accept that. He's a rapper who didn't rap that well. Get beyond that, everything else about the album from production to music flow to conciseness is at the apex of the genre. He's not 1/2 the rapper that Jay Z or even J. Cole are. We know that. But not a single one of you are going to have a reason to revisit J. Cole's album in 6 months. Not one.
The fact that Kanye's record is so polarizing shows you that there are redeeming qualities in the music. If there weren't this thread wouldnt be as active as it is.
People just have trouble accepting that there are others who enjoy what Kanye did and who this album speaks to on another non-rappity-rap mathematical 5% talk level. It's not ALL about the lyrics. Hip-hop isn't allll about lyrics. If it was then it'd just be rap.
And I'm not trying to pay attention to any of the people co-signing ninjahood complain about lyrics or nonsensical yelping. He listens to french montana ("hannnnnn"). his opinion's no good here.
damn it prime... you quoted me right before i added to my wall of text![]()
