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

yeah that too.

I think that’s a responsibility that I have, to push possibilities, to show people: “This is the level that things could be at.” So when you get something that has the name Kanye West on it, it’s supposed to be pushing the furthest possibilities.

nice

sorry if this was posted already, but I think I'm changing my mind about this guy. He might really be a genius.
he might well be the andy kaufman of our time.

"I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means,
I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture. Period. By a long jump.
I honestly feel that because Steve has passed, you know, it’s like when Biggie passed and Jay-Z was allowed to become Jay-Z."

- Kanye West

I wish Kanye would invent some cool new Apple devices

initial research indicates limited market for phone that interrupts all your calls with a message from Kanye

lol

My point was that the Super Bowl is actually universally acknowledged as important in football and actually means a winner is the champion team of pro football. Music has nothing that central that even remotely the majority of music fans can agree on, but the Grammys have enough symbolic weight to attract lames who think they can actually be 'champion of all music.'

" But the thing is, I don’t care about the Grammys; I just would like for the statistics to be more accurate. "

that was my favorite quote

Grammyball

my take: it's not the thing, but the principle of the thing. "why is there a music award that I am not winning?"

leaked!

HURRY UP WITH MY DAMN CROISSANTS

this album is so dope

after three tracks it's roughly one million times better than MBDTF

where are you listening to it? i am downloading a thing from pirate bay but i am skeptical that it is the real thing.

sent you a webmail

thanks!

Still can't manage to get an album mastered properly haaaaanh.

Although the sound is sliiiiightly more fitting for this album than it was for MBTF.

sounds like someone's got nicki's dick in his mooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuth

oh hi capleton fancy seeing u here

haha what is this shrieking

this album is silly

only ten tracks! He hooked me already.

Lemme link song Black Skinhead in case you haven't heard it yet

Well we needed our requisite album with reggae/dancehall influences what with it being a summer ending with the number 3. Just didn't expect it to be on a Kanye album of all things.

So we just refer to the dude who leaked YEEZUS as YUDAS, right?

only ten tracks! He hooked me already.

otoh i feel like this is maybe just a prelude to some kind of actual-last-minute pre-release re-record in which an additional ten tracks are added & existing tracks are re-recorded incorporating low-bitrate webrip audio from the leak

Start your thinkpieces

The 20/20 Yeezperience

http://www.theonion.com/articles/fully-validated-kanye-west-retires-to-quiet-farm-i,18724/

actually i was just musing (in lieu of paying attention to 'hold my liquor' wtf is this zzz gash) how funny and kinda absurd it is to devote such reams of thinkpiece script on someone whose real great gift is to catch impulsive intuitive moodboard lightning in a bottle... like as if yeezy knows anything about this album other than it felt like a vibe at the time

i mean i know i guess you could say that about any art but still

kid cudi has like, the worst fucking voice

the song is good though

what the fuck was that

does this actually use "strange fruit" as a metaphor for molly

nice of nas to lend ye his "special" rhyme book for 'im in it'

Keep wanting to call this the brother school to /\/\ /\ Y /\, but the 40% of it I'm through's already killed that analogy dead.

"Spiritual brother school." Maybe.

Chief Keef plays Candy Crush with Ratatat.

deeply resent the first four tracks for luring me into hearing the last six

r|t|c otm

looooooooool:

I think this is the first time Bon Iver's been involved in a song that mentions fisting.

too bad bon iver's track is three years too late to get a mention on das racist's "fake patois"

thought that was going to be a geomap of tenuous music crit

I'VE BEEN SPEAKING SWAGHILI gtfo

12 reviewers in connecticut thought this album's inchoate aggression represented ye's protective primal instinct ahead of impending fatherhood

xp lol yes that is a pearl

really do feel so mbdtf-rolled by this record

like how could i have been so gullible

i blame j0rdan

HURRY UP WITH MAH DAMN MASSAGE
