I will LITERALLY never stop laughing at "well, the early work was a little too "hip hop" for me and my tastes, but when dark twisted fantasy came out in 2010, i think he really came into his own both musically and lyrically".

Jesus christ, that trailer.

There was a deluxe edition of Watch The Throne which was released at the same time as the regular version. Hmm, I wonder if there will be some sort of "edition" with bonus tracks for tomorrow.

The guy with the beard is Scott Disick, who is dating Kourtney Kardashian. And the other guy is Jonothan Cheban, a close friend of Kim Kardashian.

Bought & downloaded.

10 tracks, identical names & order from the leak.

However, some are labeled "Album Version (Explicit)" and some are "Digital Album Version"... I wonder if physical copies are different?

Dear Kanye,
Your album Yeezus got leaked, and in a mix of excitement and anticipation I jumped on to the hype of searching up your tracks and listening in on the music you had in store for my ears.
I came across “I’m In It”, the beat so hard, the drop so dirty.
Until the words you uttered sliced my excitement in half.
“Eating Asian pussy, all I need is sweet and sour sauce!”
Hold the phone now, what?
Our pussies don’t require your sweet and sour sauce. Or any kind of food/condiment related to the continent of Asia. And I don’t even like sweet and sour sauce (don’t judge me). We are not an orientation. We are not objects. We are not something to eat your food off (unless we decide you can, even then I’m all for the chocolate).
We are women. Who happen to be Asian. Not for sweet and sour sauce. And your fetishistic behaviour. Get out of here.

I decided to eat Chinese food tonight from reading this. Seriously.

They were talking about remaking American Psycho with him a few years back. He's one of the most repulsive human beings I've ever seen, so he's probably be perfect.

After the first listen, I'm really enjoying this album. As others have said, some of the lyrics are god-awful, but they just fit somehow. I know Kanye said he doesn't give a gently caress for this one, but this album has kind of an unfinished feel to it and I think it's because he was obsessing over the production so much (and you can tell).

The production is top-notch and you really get a sense of how restless he and his creative process are. It's very fascinating to hear that manifest itself in the music, even if he didn't write/record half of the lyrics until the last day he could.

rick rubin came in, ripped the song apart, and put it back together as the album version.


quote:

How would you describe the new sound he was driving for, and how you did you help him arrive there?

He wanted the music to take a stripped-down minimal direction. He was always examining what we could take out instead of put in. A good example would be the song that became “Bound.” When he first played it for me, it was a more middle of the road R&B song, done in an adult contemporary style. Kanye had the idea of combining that track with a cool sample he had found and liked – I removed all of the R&B elements leaving only a single note baseline in the hook which we processed to have a punk edge in the Suicide tradition.

I thought Kanye had peaked with MBDTF (and what a spectacular peak that would have been), but I like this album even more. Which is crazy. Like Kanye.

Dont forget that Pitchfork gave MBDTF a perfect score so I am not surprised at the 9.5 per se. They love Kanye and review him on a curve that takes into heavy consideration his past work and the contexts under which he makes this music.

Like if Kanye were unknown as a rapper and this was his first album would it get the same review? I doubt it.


Anyway, Yeezus is up on Spotify. So my commute today will be interesting. Still no bonus tracks.

This album turned me from someone who just couldn't get into Kanye West to someone who can't get enough. I don't know what's come over me, I'm suddenly all about him, whereas before I was actually annoyed by most of his music. It's like someone pulled a switch and opened a flood gate in my brain.

I hate the outro to Send It Up more every time I hear it. Whoever that is sounds like a lovely impression of "Stereotypical Jamaican/Reggae Voice" and it's unlistenable. Kanye's fake accent when he says "Jamaican" sounds better than that guy. gently caress.
