Kanye West - Yeezus

[LimpyLoo]

I dunno, I think Yeezus is way better than most other pop music. I like it. I don't think it's the most amazing thing ever, but it's forward thinking for pop. Whenever you want to complain about the pop music now, just remember: 5 years ago we had T Pain and Soulja Boy.

 

You know what, I will definitely concede that the last two KW albums were interesting if nothing else.

that's in the top 5 worst songs I've ever fucking heard

I always assumed it was a pisstake coda for the album.

Kanye: "I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Walt Disney. Nike. Google. Now, who's going to be the Medici family and stand up and let me create more? Or do you want to marginalize me?"

 

starts around 17min in

Pitchfork #1 album of the year

 

Wtf

 

 

Miley Cyrus is poised to get Time's person of the year

 

 

What a worthless culture

[Nebraska]

^^^ what do you expect from a culture that does nothing but remakes and consuming worthless garbage?

I don't hold Kanye's music on high regard, but I do think he is talented and I do/did enjoy listening to his music. but his antics and holier than thou attitude foreshadows everything else for me... I can't listen to him any longer.

Kim looks different. I think it's the Tina Turner hair color.

 

 

no, she got plastic surgery plus a major nosejob after babby

 

her new nose is pretty but unfortunately doesn't fit her face, they moved it up so her upper lip area is too wide and she has chimpface.

[lumpenprol]

By the way this album is actually quite good, and by quite good I mean it has some high highs and low lows, but is never less than interesting. It may actually be brilliant but it has some really tasteless elements too (like co-opting Nina Simone for some stupid superficial rhymes about random shit, and well, basically all of Kanye's persona including the constant misogyny, paranoia and materialism)

[Ivan Ooze]

second best album i enjoyed the most this year

[doublename]

Ivan pls this is getting out of hand

I listened once and it made me feel physically sick. Maybe something to do with it embodying everything I hate about western culture in musical form. I guess that's what makes it good though... he certainly gets the retarded culture he represents, maybe better than anyone else.

exactly

[Candiru]

I think people are supposed to be disgusted by this album, and that he knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to rap as douchey and lazy as possible on Bound 2. Half actor, half rapper. Not that people "don't get it" but I think a lot of it has to do whether Kanye actually pisses you off or if you take it as face value. I think Yeezus is pretty clever.

That was hard to watch for the most part. I am still not fully convinced if it's an act... it seems real, but I have a hard time believing that someone who thinks about themselves like that is 100% serious.

 

I wish sway woulda taken off the head-wrap and just knocked his ass out. Woulda been hood as fuck. Poor Sway, it'd be a shit feeling to have someone say you're nothing and your hard work isn't a good as theirs on your own talk show.

[LimpyLoo]

Oh my god he's just a really dumb person that thinks fashion is gonna save the world

 

So out of touch and useless

[beerwolf]

I watched about a minute (from the 17 min mark) (I have little to do with KW, a couple of his tunes are good)

 

Wether he's joking, being ironic or being serious, I cant tell. One thing I can tell is that he's a total cunt.

[KovalainenFanBoy]

It's refreshing seeing a Kanye interview where the interviewer doesn't spend the whole interview kissing Kanye's ass and telling him how right and intelligent he is, like Zane Lowe.

Ever since his mother died, Kanye's gone in a downward spiral of obsession with fashion and such petty things and egotism. When he starts screaming "you ain't got the answers" he's most likely projecting

He's (almost) married to Kardashian. Of course he's serious when he thinks fashion is going to save the world! That's what she would say as well. Probably...

 

[beerwolf]

'projecting'

 

is that an arty word for 'acting like a cunt'?

 

anyway i'm out of this KW zone.....

Protest music for Motorola commercials. The world aint ready.

[awepittance]

it seems like he's one or two interviews away from a full on nervous breakdown.
