/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

I am a God

I honestly feel like this is his worst work. I felt like most of the lyrics were very phoned in, the production was very sub par to his old work, and felt like the only 2 songs we heard before it was released, Black Skinhead and New Slaves, were the only songs he finished.

i m o tho

>>49396770
you're only kind of living up to your name

>>49396770
new slaves and on sight are the only good songs, the rest are recycle bin worthy

>>49396857
I completely agree with you.
Also, i never got the MBDTF hype, maybe i'm just not a yeezy fan

>>49396876
Ok.

>>49396857
The bad lyrics add humor to it, in my opinion. "Yeezus" is a very entertaining meme-rap album.

>>49396951
i can't tell whether you're trying to be funny

either way you should probably stop posting

>>49396857
But that's the entire point.

He's putting shit out there. He's literal putting shit out there and no one can call him out on it because he doesn't even have to try to be relevant.

Yeah, he can call out the CCA, the DEA, the prison-industrial complex --no one gives a shit WHAT he puts out, because no one's really listening to him anyway.

MBDTF was him realizing how alone he was.

Yeezus was him accepting the fact that loving himself meant loving other people; it's him lashing out at those that see him as less than human, and showing how brutal that human side really can be.

lolnaw jus bitches and hoes

>>49397117
This why this board is shit. I'm legitimately trying to encourage some actual music discussion about famous albums in this board, and people come up with these kind of replies.

>>49397155
>famous albums
Why? It's been talked to death. Pic an interesting album and i'll join.

>>49397155
sorry i assumed a "daily appreciation thread" for one of the most overdiscussed albums on this entire board was ironic. fuck me, right?

if you really do like this album, that's fine, but i'm pretty sure myself as well as many others are tired of seeing this thread time after time.

>>49397155
I think it's just that people here are mostly tired of discussing Kanye, also there's the whole 'memerap' backlash bullshit. And yeah, New Slaves kicks ass. That keyboard line sounds fuckin' evil, man.

>>49397283
I did it. A "Yeezus" thread containing musical discussion. That's something.

>>49397230
Fair enough.

>>49397240
I want to cleanse irony from now on.

>>49397155
Thing is, everyone thinks you're shitposting. Hell, even I do.

We see that trip everyday, and you rarely say anything worthwhile.

>>49396951
>meme-rap
see?
At this point it's just stale.

>>49396770
black skinhead

>>49397342
"meme-rap" is a thing though. That wasn't ironic.

>>49397369
No, it isn't, and it will never be.

>>49397397
>rap with heavy uses of irony, backpacker beats, and uses the blogosphere as a major source of communication

It fucking exists, deal with it

>>49397397
Yes it is. "Yeezus" (and a lot of other albums, not just Hip Hop albums) are treated like memes.

It goes beyond the whole "ironic" aspect you're thinking about.

>>49397466
And kanye has never been ironic in his life.
Also, most 'memerappers' dont fit in what you described

>>49396770
Threadly reminder that if you say anything but Bound 2 you're just pretending to not like it because it's the most popular song off the album.

>>49397369
Not really. It's just a term used here to make fun of some hip hop artists and poke at their fans. But people hardly care now.
It's how some people refer to the music here, but it really doesn't affect the piece of music.

Just stop man using it. It's just boring at this point.

I'm willing to believe you're not shitposting, but this whole ordeal is insipid.

>>49397527
the album is a 10/10
disliking any song is just pretending to not like it

Hold My Liquor and I'm in It are so fucking underrated, you'll cowards sperg out over the hit singles yet never pay attention to the real gems of the albums

Every song is decent - great except for maybe Guilt Trip

On sight - 9
Black Skinhead - 8
I Am A God - 6
New Slaves - 10
Hold My Liquor - 6
I'm In It - 5
Blood on the Leaves - 8
Guilt Trip - 4
Send It Up - 7
Bound 2 - 7

Black Skinhead

>>49396951
>"Yeezus" is a very entertaining meme-rap album.
It isn't meme rap you fucking faglord, meme rap is autistic nerdshit like Yung Lean, real rap niggas like Kanye and Lil B are not so don't insult them with that shit label

I'm In It is a fucking banger

Definitely hold my liquor

>Atmosphere at the beginning
>that awesome synth orgy outro

>>49397546
First of all, I really like your reaction images.

Meme-rap is a thing though, I mean, if there is "Conscious Hip-Hop", why "Meme-rap" is considered invalid?

>>49396770
On sight - 4
Black Skinhead - 3
I Am A God - 3
New Slaves - 6
Hold My Liquor - 2
I'm In It - 1
Blood on the Leaves - 3
Guilt Trip - 1
Send It Up - 2
Bound 2 - 4

Beats are shit, flow is shit, raps are decent, rap concepts are pretty good.

Overrated in general though.

>>49397563
Send it Up tho

>>49396770

New Slaves, Hold My Liquor and Black Skinhead are my favorites. Bound 2 was bad.

>>49397687
>Hold My Liquor - 2
> I'm In It - 1
edgy

>>49397230
ok, this thread is now a bas thread. we'll discuss 'last winter' and his upcoming releases.

fucking 9/10 album, honestly

>>49397636
Because the term is cohesive enough to hold some value. Its thematic value is strong enough to gather common acceptance on what is and what isn't Conscious Hip-Hop.

Meme-rap (or any meme-[genre], really) are mostly used to dis on things. The "ironic" aspect of the music doesn't really matter. It's just an insult, it always was.

And thanks for the compliment, I guess.

On Sight - 10
Black Skinhead - 10
I Am a God - 10
New Slaves - 10
Hold My Liquor - 10
I'm In It - 10
Blood On The Leaves - 10
Guilt Trip - 6
Send it Up - 10
Bound 2 - 10

>>49396770
What is this fucking circlejerk faggots

>>49397899
Actually, it's just an experiment

>>49396857
yeah, this exactly if you swap new slaves for Bound 2. also black skinhead sounded amazing on SNL

A friendly reminder that meme-rap is a memeterm and people who use it are just as bad as 9gaggers.

>>49397917
So was Yeezus

>>49398006
damn...

>>49398006
kek

When's the new album supposed to come out?

>>49398217
During Yeezy season.

>>49398006
lel

Listening for the second time

on Hold My Liqor now and hating the vocals but really liking the instrumentals

so far its like a 7/10 but I really hate the rapping in Bound 2 and a couple other songs toward the end are shit

I'll finally listen to MBDTF after this too. Heard the first track a few times already though

hold my liquor and i'm in it

>>49398510
Finished it

I'm In It was alright, Blood on the Leaves fucking sucked, Guilt Trip was meh, Send It Up was good, and Bound 2 was okay

The only 10/10 to come out this decade. The most challenging mainstream album since I can remember

>>49399364
Send it up is the worst track by far m8

>>49399364
I didn't think it was bad, but it is forgettable

Blood on the Leaves was the worst IMO. I really hate his autotuned shit

I guess that means I'll avoid 808s

>>49399540
lel I replied to myself

meant to reply to >>49399445

I am 20 and feel too old to post on /mu/. This has to be the 2nd youngest board to /b/ in terms of average age.

>>49399595
I'd be surprised if /v/'s average age was over 16

>>49397927
black skinhead on SNL was better than anything on yeezus

>>49399595
It's definitely /v/ in second.

>>49399595
but /pol/
