OFFICIAL Ye fka "kanYe West" x G.O.O.D. Music Thread - ¥$ (AKA YE X TY DOLLA SIGN) - VULTURES 2 (NOW AVAILABLE sorta)

[AZwildcats]

It's been sad seeing one of my favorite rappers decline like this. The beats are good, but he hasn't had bars for a few albums in a row.

 

[ninjahood]

i mean let's be honest fellas...Kanye never had bars, ever...

he's always been 2-3 steps above Puff in that regard.

First listen: trash

 

[mrswagtastic]

Wow. Was expecting more posts buying into the hype.
First listen i'll give it a 6.5/10.
First time hearing "Use this gospel" in the car, I thought i left the door open.
Then i realized it was the beat.

Another album on Christmas? Jesus is born?

I'm gonna have to disagree, he had plenty of bars on earlier projects. I'm not saying he was the next Rakim, but his bars now are pure struggle.

Incredible album....so many songs brought me to tears and gave me chills.

would love to buy the Jesus is king merch but dude got “Kanye West” written on every piece.

Semi serious question

is yeezy starting a cult?

 

[whitemamba27]

I wish this snippet made the cut though



Apparently it leaked at some point under the name "Hurricane", so I'll grab that and be satisfied.

the leak is nowhere near as good as this snippet

 

[nflowshoe]

Yikeeeeees

 

[chaovi]

still its good, this is MILES better than Yeezus that's for damn sure.

damn really? I feel the exact opposite.

They need to merge the Kenny G sequence into the beat, and also the drum pattern that plays at the end...its all separated

 

[lamekilla]

Dog, I’m terrified to listen to this ****. I’ve acknowledged that he fell off some years ago but it’s still hard to accept. This seems like the final nail in the coffin

 

[shotsrangout]

still its good, this is MILES better than Yeezus that's for damn sure.

what?

bound II is lightyears better than anything on this album. so is blood on the leaves. stop it fam.

 

[lamekilla]

Just listened to it....

I wanna hate it but the production on this is lowkey nuts. It’s not bad and I’m shocked. The content is kinda cringe, a lot of the bars are even cringier (chick-fil-a ) but this can easily be morning commute music. Dare I say, I’m impressed

 

[htg designs]

Gave the album a couple spins...

Sonically, I think it's pretty good. Really enjoyed the production on here. Has elements and stylings from all of his previous works. They are all on display compliment each other well. There's no competition of sounds. Lyrically, not as strong as some past efforts (Cyhi and Cons must have had other obligations), but it's decent tho. I think it's a solid album.

Content wise, I am Christian and enjoyed no curses on it. It seems though Kanye still has the bland basic Western understanding of the Bible and who Jesus was. So he was lacking depth and anything remotely thought provoking. (Not sure saying he needed to preach to the listener, but to go beyond the surface. Kendrick GKMC and Damn are good examples of spiritual depth without preaching). With that said, his music and understanding maybe just a reflection of where he's at, so if this is genuine, I expect to see growth if he continues in this vein.

All in all, I enjoyed what I heard and this may give him the grounding he needs to get better as he moves forward with his career.
