Valentin posted:Instead, it can be read as a sad and revealing line. Kanye claims to be a god, but he can't get anything done. He can't even get loving croissants brought to his table in a timely fashion. Despite all his wealth and fame, he's basically impotent. I think that's a major theme of this album, and it's a shame most people won't look beyond the surface braggadocio. I actually like this interpretation of the line. Kanye probably knows/intended for the line to be funny (I actually think the phrase "French-rear end restaurant" is the funniest part of the line), but that fits in with the likely message of the song, doesn't it? Kanye making people laugh at him -- presumably a "God" -- pretty much hammers home the point that he's not one.

I liked the first half of the album, the more industrial stuff and disparate samples... I haven't actually sat down and listened to a Kanye album before this, but I can tell it's him trying to push his own and popular hip hop's boundaries. And the croissants line is an awesome punchline Tricerapowerbottom fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Jun 19, 2013 |

As much as I love Frank Ocean's section on New Slaves it just feels slapped on and abrupt. Maybe that was the intent, but it is always super jarring when it hits.

Professor Funk posted:This is true. I'm pretty sure I read in several reviews that it was in fact a sample, but I guess that's not the case. Writers have been saying it was a sample since the SNL performance just because it sounded similar. Which is dumb. No matter how much money you have, it's ridiculous to pay for a sample for such an easily-reproduced sound.

Clicking the featuring artist God on Spotify links to an actual artist...which is even more hilarious to me. (I don't have the time to actually listen to those tracks, I'm too busy listening to Yeezus for the 30th time)

Right wing site Breitbart posted an article about the album using an offensive line about Parkinson's and well the right wingers saw the blood in the water. "A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this bitch shaking like Parkinson's." http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2013/06/19/parkinson-group-kanye-west-lyric

All I know is that "beard" = "Muslim." I learned this from arguing with a local right wing dude who liked to post "death to Islam" on facebook a lot. edit: (ok I guess I have the wrong slang for beard here, it's apparently a homoerotic thing in this context. gently caress these people...)

Beard is a term for girlfriends/wives of gay men who only date women to hide their true sexuality. Mooch and O'Flamer in that comment = Michelle and Barack. What the gently caress did I just type

"Beard" isn't insulting. It's a term that has been used pretty widely for a while now by people of any orientation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard_(companion) Edit: Oh yeah, it's the Yeezus thread. I think the album is a missed opportunity. When Kanye listens to it, can't he immediately hear where something could be improved? Although, it's still drat entertaining and I recently listened to it a few times on a long drive. I kind of wanted to hear songs with that crazy list of collaborators posted before the album came out. Like Skrillex. I bet Kanye is like Prince and just has hundreds of songs in some vault somewhere all as good as anything released on an album. stratdax fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Jun 20, 2013 |

I don't love this album, but god drat some of the songs on it are so good. New Slaves, Black Skinhead, Bound 2, and I am a God are all insane. Angry Kanye is good Kanye.

I generally think Kanye has pretty strong lyrics these days, or they're at least genuinely clever. Sometimes he gets a little lazy and rhymes the same word over and over or writes some really cringeworthy poo poo about sweet and sour sauce but those tend to be exceptions.

Kanye can be an incredible lyricist when he chooses to (ex: Barry Bonds) so my guess is it's a style choice or he just doesn't loving care about those spots where the lyrics are a little corny. e: also every bad kanye line is excused by mayonnaise colored benz i push miracle whips Thoogsby fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Jun 21, 2013 |

I like that the last track is kind of that old Kanye soul sampling vibe, but he's just like YELLING over it. It's like his way of trying to say he's too huge now to fit into his old way of doing things or I don't know. That's my Thought About Kanye thanks
