Organic Robot posted:That Death Grip's comparison is pretty spot on for "Black Skinhead", and I am totally down with an album of angry Kanye. Listening to both songs, its pretty much going to be the pop death grips album you can ease your friends into for the real death grips.

Fuuuuck I just watched the SNL clips and I am so loving pumped for this album. I just hope the recordings capture that energy and anger he was showing last night.

Good Will Hrunting posted:I hope "Black Skinhead" has slightly less vocal distortion on the album version. Why? That was one of the coolest parts! Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:We now have the official album art Interesting... So is the actual CD case gonna look like that? All scratched up and torn? And will the outline of the CD actually be the outline of the CD, and the gold foil is just that shape on top of the CD and not actually a full album art insert? Or is all of that just the art insert and the case/CD are going to look different? Either way, it's badass. I like the rebellious style he seems to be going with on this one.

Of all the directions Kanye explored on MBDTF, the one he decided to go forward with was "Monster." I heartily approve.

I hope he's channeling the creativity that you can tell has been frustrating him for a while. Like how mbdtf was pimping out its alleged artistry but its content was boring. But I'm probably too high and completely wrong. e: Is this the kanye west thread or pitchfork buzz artist thread?? I'm lost a dog from hell fucked around with this message at 01:13 on May 20, 2013 |

Does anyone know where I can get a video of Black Skinhead that I can listen to/watch in the UK? The NBC ones are blocked over here, and I can't find it on DailyMotion. I'm dying to hear it, Yeezy channeling Death Grips sounds like my favourite thing ever.

Which is a shame because he usually has great production. Not to mention how horrible his verse on Ali Bomaye is.

rear end was loving hilarious the first time I heard it, before it even became a single on the radio. I didn't quite know what to make of it. I thought it was a novelty act. I couldn't stop laughing for like half an hour straight. Then it got played 20 times a day, censored, on the rap stations around here

While I like the style of Black Skinhead, the lyrics seem pretty childish and amateur. Name dropping 300 and Inglorious Basterds? Kinda weak.

Drake Bate posted:daft punk produced a death grips beat for kanye? Two, actually. (To be specific, we don't know what the other track is so its not safe to assume its another black skinhead) I wonder if the other one will show up on a mixtape, the album, or shelved for a future greatest-hits album.

This is not confirmed by anything official that I'm aware of but I've seen a lot of people saying that the album cover is a melted-down Jesus piece, which could make sense.

No one is saying he is, but it's ridiculous to complain about pop culture references in rap music. Kanye references Robocop and Misery in a song for gently caress's sake.

Yeah I don't mind pop culture references, rappers use them to stay relevant and if the lyrics are clever and tie into the theme of the song then all the power to it. If he were trying to underscore the fascism in the movie 300 as a way to critique racism in western media then yeah, I'd say that is clever. Is that what he is trying to do?

The Walking Dad posted:While I like the style of Black Skinhead, the lyrics seem pretty childish and amateur. Name dropping 300 and Inglorious Basterds? Kinda weak. Orbi posted: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". Maybe try listening critically a little bit before you childishly dismiss things in an out-of-context way.

The worst thing about the two songs that have been leaked is dudes are gonna try to draw some strained death grips comparison and trick a bunch of otherwise innocent people into listening to loving death grips. I mean at least Niggy Tardust sounded like music and not some dudes trying to be eXXXtreeme!!!!!! and edgy or w/e. (btw Niggy Tardust was a great album) Also the album's gonna be good, I have no doubt. In terms of making good music, Kanye's the best commercial rapper ever (even though he's average at best as a "rapper"). All of his albums have been great to amazing, and they each have a unique sound and this one seems like it's gonna continue the trend.
