What songs is Kendrick doing? I feel like he could put together at least a 10 song setlist with the proper ups and downs for a stadium show?

The_Rob posted:My favorite part about the bound 2 video is that he chose to debut it on the Ellen show. It's a video where he fucks Kim kardasian on a dirt bike. He is forcefully taking claim of white culture and it's probably the funniest thing he has ever done. Yeah pretty much. It's not loving complicated. The rear-projection is super-fake on purpose. Kim is shot like a L'Oreal commercial and, though the motorcycle's obviously not moving, the projectors transport him into some kind of Wolf-Shirt Americana paradise. It's roughly the same sort of imagery as in Easy Rider, but distorted. He's wearing designer versions of hippie clothes and rugged outdoorsman gear. The editing intercuts Ye gliding though the air, him riding the bike alone, and him riding the bike with his wife, so there's this implication that the bike and even Kim are not entirely real either. But then, the entire song is about trying to settle down into an illusory 'normal life'. Ye talks about placating his girl with expensive vacations so she won't complain, and the Fight Club reference obviously evokes the idea of violence underneath a plastic everyday life. One of the last lines, after all these long-rear end verses, is "Jesus wept." - which is a direct quote of the shortest verse in the Bible, where Jesus reacts to the horrific reality of death. This is in the context of Ye telling his lover to got to sleep and forget the past. The next thing that happens in the Bible is Lazarus' resurrection. The video is about how American culture is plastic bullshit, fueled with blood, but he's going to take it and make it his - turn it into a performance. This is really basic like high-school level stuff.

40 lbs to freedom posted:you saw his video for black skinhead too right? like, if he can release a PS1 rendering of himself dancing around and be like 'this. this is genius' then i dont doubt whatever else dumb he can do. Early attempts at making realistic computer graphics look pretty creepy today! People on the internet love to point out and make fun of this fact, and sometimes use it sincerely for actual (intended, anyways) horror effect. But when Kanye does it, it's BAD, because ???

Wezlar posted:What songs is Kendrick doing? I feel like he could put together at least a 10 song setlist with the proper ups and downs for a stadium show? Money Trees Backseat Freestyle m.A.A.d. city (2nd verse) The Art of Peer Pressure (Intro only) Fuckin' Problems (A$AP Rocky cover) Swimming Pools (Drank) Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe (remix) Poetic Justice m.A.A.d city (1st verse) Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst Compton Freestyle DC was awesome... for the most part. I feel like in some songs, Kanye had SUPER high energy and was jumping around the stage, and was rapping with a ton of emotion and meaning... but he would do that for songs that didn't really need that. And then, when songs that actually had anger and energy in the lyrics, he would just sorta stand there emotionless. He literally stood still and didn't move the entire time he did POWER, for God's sake!

How about you actually give me a reason the horns in the song don't suck? All I've been getting is that they're just so obviously great and they make the crowd go wild. Well just because people mosh at a Family Values tour, that doesn't mean those lineups aren't comprised of bands riding some of the worst trends in rock. Those horns are monotonous as gently caress and completely flat-sounding. They're the most prominent element of a six-minute song and they sound like a moron's definition of avant-garde, taking something lovely and selling it as genius. You're really gonna sit here and tell me that anything made by Beats by the Pound is worth salvaging?

Never thought I'd have to quantify a dang horn sample but that specific kind of re-touched electronic instrument sample used as a lead and being pushed up front more than what we're used to (especially in relatively sparse compositions) is becoming identified with newer producers like Clams Casino, Lunice, gently caress Buttons sometimes etc. and is in fashion. It's being used as a lead line in a kind of Big Boi - Sgt. Patton way and suggesting military melody a bit more subtly than that song. It has a very aggressive sounding tone and scale which fit in with that. The sound itself has a real primal, menacing, almost stutter-gated sound when it gets loooow. That's what I really like about it. It's pretty dramatic and fits in well with the kind of abrasive sample sound going on in the whole album. There's a lot of low buzzing sounds going on and the horns touch on that. There, happy? Edit: There's some samples I raise an eyebrow at on this album but this ain't one of them.

the analyses in this thread don't really resonate with me, but the album is loving good and smart and funny and vulnerable and I liked it a lot when it came out and I still like it a lot. It has changed the rap game in a big way, because it's not loving pastiche its just an emotional rear end album. Most of the people in the game and their fans are walking self-parodies at this point and Kanye has progressively become more and more original which is an achievement in and of itself. But then I consider the fact that Big Sean is on good music and I just don't know anymore.

Most rappers are self parodies? Yeah okay dude. The genre is more diverse than it ever has been before, there's more experimenting with sounds and styles than ever before, I don't think you know what you're talking about. I'm not convinced this isn't a fake post

It's great, but I don't hear a single song on the radio in the last 6 months that was influenced by Yeezus. Every Kanye album is emotional as gently caress, that's not significant.

Rolling Stone was reviewing Eminem's latest and it made the observation that it comes along/firs in at a time when Hova & Kanye are both having mid-life/career crisis. The year of hip hop being Wilco. I felt it was appropriate as all of them really lacked for subject matter.

Or, you know, it's possible "keep it 300, like the Romans. 300 bitches, where the Trojans" is a better rhyme than "keep it 300, like the Greeks. 300 bitches, cheese that squeeks" and he didn't give a poo poo about being historically correct since everyone knows what the gently caress he's talking about anyway.

Serious question, why are so many people (both fans and haters) weirdly overcomplicating the 300 line? Does it not occur to people that it isn't Kanye being stupid enough to get a popular movie reference blatantly wrong or an obscure slang thing, but just a throwaway line that Kanye thought was funny because it was wrong? It's really that simple and it baffles me that no one seems to think this.

It would be foolish to interpret his music as though he is all-knowing and perfectly clever. This is categorically false.

I agree it was a throwaway line but we already got to the bottom of why that guy thinks Kanye is an idiot it's because the Blood on the Leaves beat sucks.
