Kanye West, Yeezus, 6/18/13 (TBC because who knows anymore)

yeah that looks like "a message board" with "a particularly lucid usic post" at the top

do they copy and paste those images or do they get to choose from them like smileys?

that communicating-via-avatars/gifs thing is a genuine traffic getter from what i understand ~is vague~

i completely hate it

THEN I WAS LIKE http://likegif.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/middle-finger-gif-13.gif

that post makes me proud to be on the internet

masterpiece

At least until you realise that they have a poster that takes pictures of his dumps and grades them a la pitchfork.

Quality titles, looking forward to some Obama verses.

Macklemore! Jesus!! Fred D(urst?)!!! Barack!!!! IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE!!!!!

lol that person has a keane album

lol @ featuring Chief Keef and Barack Obama.

idk whether some of those titles being a bit too on the nose makes me think "obv a fake" or "obv real"

clearly fake

obv fake but still how kanye would it be to sample some lines from an obama speech and they put "feat. Barack Obama" in the title?

I really want them to be real

kanye should sample barack calling him a "jackass" at the beginning of a cover of Taylor Swift's "Innocent"

I was talking to Jesus the other day and he didn't say anything about being on the album, so I'm pretty sure it's fake.

Kanye couldn't even get the real Bernie Mac on his albums

More new tracks - On Site and I Am A God.

my no-radio-rips, no-snippets, no-shoddy-live-footage policy is making this promo campaign VERY relaxing for me

random lex-asked policies

Fall off starts here.

i think the bounceback starts here!

bounceback from his massively successful song "mercy," which largely dominated 2012?

well clearly he means artistically

for the record i think lex is right

the flip of this is "bounceback from his widely panned 'cruel summer' which produced two dope singles and a bunch of ripe ass"

That wasn't really an album though.

Yeah nobody on YMCMB had to 'bounce back' from We Are Young Money

because it was better than cruel summer

It's more that there's no quality standard to meet for label comps, they're almost always a grab bag with a couple hits.

i dont think anyone looks at kanye as having slipped in the past year.

Yeah it's not like the things people disliked about CS were the Kanye parts (although "Cold" was ripe ass imo)

so of all the features to bring back...Bon Iver?

the sound was kinda muddled but i didn't realize it was bon iver until he said it after the album finished

the part that vernon is on is pretty dominated by keef from what i could tell

a few songs on the middle of the album are dominated by dancehall singers but he didn't say who they were which leaves open the possibility that it travis scott has also figured out how to morph into mavado

So you've heard it J0rdan? Are there any big songs on this? (Mercy big, Clique big, Monster big, etc.)

i think "on site" is on that level, but just talking stylistically. i don't think it's a radio single.

also the song that samples tnght/interpolates "down 4 my niggaz" (people couldn't really decide about this, lol) is pretty massive, but again not really a galvanizing anthem like "mercy" or "clique"

there's definitely nothing as straightforward as those tracks though, it's a very jarring album. a number of songs have, like, essentially smash cuts, where it will go abruptly from some nine inch nails shit into a blooming soul sample and back again.

i don't know if he was playing the album in order (and he sort of hinted that he didn't play the entire thing -- he played the same 10 songs twice) but if he did it starts with "on site" ---> "black skinhead" ---> "new slaves" and really gets into a nice rhythm before getting really bizarre right after (starting with the keef/bon iver song). it's sorta like watching an asteroid break apart or something. again, assuming he played the songs in order.

the CDQ of "black skinhead" is sick, it sounds a lot like "atlas"

i honestly had no clue "Mercy" would be a big radio record (or "Paris" for that matter), so i really don't expect to be able to call what will be a big single or not off this.

true. i mean, i could see "on site" or "new slaves" being a hit if he were to send either to radio but he may not

i wouldn't be surprised if it was 10 songs. WTT was a pretty concise 46-minute album.

feeling sorta stupid i skipped this listening sesh

oh well i'll hear it soon

a number of songs have, like, essentially smash cuts, where it will go abruptly from some nine inch nails shit into a blooming soul sample and back again.

"On Site" is definitely this. At the moment I think it's the song I'm most excited to hear completely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrhOBk-G_60

so the abrupt switchup at the end of the "New Slaves" projection video is part of the album track, not an excerpt of a different song?

was "Baby, You're Awesome" played in the listening session?
