I thought good rear end job was an excellent title for an album.

Oh I was so wrong.

Well he just did his first song, for those who didn't see it. It was like some Marilyn Manson nonsense. Not Good.

I liked the rapping but rap rock does nothing for me.

Hoping for a Frank Ocean cameo if he does New Slaves.

poo poo, I didn't get to see the episode when it aired so I'm watching the videos of the two songs on Dailymotion. Black Skinhead is off the loving chain, Yeezus Christ :psyboom:

That one easily surpasses some of the stuff on MBDTF.

And New Slaves sounds way better than it did projected on a building wall. The bass is nuts and the visuals are crazy for this as well.

This has me way too hyped for the album :ohdear:

Theory I stole from elsewhere (a Kanye fan forum that seems to steal some SA smilies): the song is about how reality (specifically in relation to African-American population) is twisted, manipulated and demonised by the media. There's that presumably intentional error, the Inglorious Basterds reference at the end about how Hitler died in a burning theatre which obviously isn't how it actually happened, his King Kong reference at the start. Almost the entire song is full of stuff like that. "They say I'm possessed", "If I don't get ran down by Catholics / Here come some some conservative Baptists / Sayin' me overreacting", "I been a menace for the longest / And I ain't finished, I'm devoted", almost that entire last verse is all about how he's aware of what he is to other people ("I'm aware I'm a wolf / As soon as the moon hits [I'm guessing this is referencing how Yeezy's quite the opportunist when it comes to the media]/ I'm aware I'm a king / Back out the tomb bitch") and how African-Americans are treated by the media "These niggas ain't doin' poo poo".

Reading these lyrics gives me chills

quote:

For my theme song
My leather black jeans on
My by any means on
Pardon I'm gettin' my Scream on
Enter the kingdom
But watch who you bring home
They see a black man with a white woman
At the top floor they gone come to kill King Kong
Middle America packed in
Came to see me in my black skin
My homey was number one draft pick
They still burned his jersey in Akron
If I don't get ran out by Catholics
Here come some conservative Baptists
Sayin' he overreactin'
Like them black kids in Chiraq bitch


[Hook 1]
Four in the morning, and I'm zonin'
They say I'm possessed, it's an omen
I keep it 300, like the Romans
300 bitches, where's the Trojans?
Picture me livin' in the moment
And I've been a menace for the longest
Picture me livin' in the moment
Picture me livin' in the moment

[Bridge]
So follow me up cause this poo poo's about to go down
I'm doin' 500, I'm outta control now
But there's nowhere to go, now
And there's no way to slow down
Runnin' out of time - moving fast
So just close your eyes and then enjoy this crash

[Hook 2]
Four in the mornin', and I'm zonin'
Think I'm possessed, it's an omen
I keep it 300, like the Romans
300 bitches, where's the Trojans?
Baby we livin' in the moment
I've been a menace for the longest
But I ain't finished, I'm devoted
And you know it, and you know it

[Verse 2]
Stop all that goon poo poo
Early morning cartoon poo poo
This is goon poo poo
gently caress up your whole afternoon poo poo
I'm aware I'm a wolf
Soon as the moon hit
I'm aware I'm a king
Back out the tomb bitch
Back out the room bitch
Stop all that goon poo poo
These niggas ain't doin' poo poo
These niggas ain't doin' poo poo
What do you say to a masked man
This Inglorious Bastard that's rappin'
We might have to burn this whole poo poo down,
Like the theater that Hitler was trapped in


[Hook 3]
Four in the mornin', and I'm zonin'
Think I'm possessed, it's an omen
300 girls, and we're throwin'
300 girls, and they're zonin'
Baby we're livin' in the moment
Baby we're livin' in the moment
[?] keep it goin'
Keep it goin', keep it goin'

Kanye listens to a huge variety of music so I wouldn't be surprised. I am really looking forward to hearing these songs on record... and now it makes a little more sense why there hasn't been a "single" yet. Those are NOT radio material.

Yeah I'm starting to think we're looking at another 808 situation here where the album is going to be great but a lot of people are going to shy away from it due to a complete lack of pop sensibility.

Yup, there is not a Jesus Walks or Stronger in these songs. I have to give credit that Kanye does a remarkable job editing his lyrics for tv performance.

That Death Grip's comparison is pretty spot on for "Black Skinhead", and I am totally down with an album of angry Kanye.

I changed my mind.
I'm not sorry.
I hope "Black Skinhead" has slightly less vocal distortion on the album version. Other than that, it's great. That "beat" is the most disturbing thing I've got stuck in my head since I listened to death metal in high school.

I wouldn't count on it. Kanye has been in love with those overly hot/distorted vocals ever since MBDTF. I'm not really a fan because it makes the songs sound more lo-fi than they are but I think that effect is going to be very prominent on this new album too. I guess it works with the "I'm so angry and I must yell everything" vibe that he is goin for...
