Holy shiiiiiit all this new stuff is right up my alley. He's becoming the Reznor of Hip hop (if he wasn't already).

This album is insane and weird. It definitely can be cringeworthy. Everything about Kanye these days makes me think of Trent Reznor.

Does anyone else love I'm In It? The song goes so many random directions. A few tempo changes. Horrible, over the top lyrics. It's kind of breathtaking and puzzling.

poor yeezus, always getting poo poo on for everything/anything he does.

People dog Kanye for how he reacts but it's such bullshit. Reading comments you'll see them say "if you don't want to get followed, don't get famous!" This attitude didn't make sense to me until I realized a lot of us would be perfectly happy being constantly followed and photographed.

Imagine you got into music or any creative field for the love of doing it and not the infamy, and really consider how annoying it would be to basically get trolled everywhere you go.

Also this guy is a pussy for needing paramedics like he got stomped in the street. Dude is clearly trying to rile up Ye and get some settlement money just as he stated.

Wasn't that the same year his mom died? I dunno, dude was probably all over the place and MBDTF was full of guilt over some of his lovely attitudes. It was a stupid thing to do but he's a super emotional musician/rockstar. Beyonce was better anyway. :colbert:

This is way more defending of Kanye than I ever thought I would be doing. I guess I like his lovely attitude.

SMG, simultaneously the best and worst poster of SA media forums

Jeez, I can't even write "Kanye West raps about black history" without five or six haters from my fanclub showing up to suck my dick.

Lady Gaga writes songs about feminism too. -> "Haha SMG is so weird and controversial! Let me talk about him." gently caress off.

Sorry if I came off wrong. I love your posts. People jump on your interpretations, I'm not. Please keep it up. :) "Best and worst poster" as in "some think you're the best, some think you're the worst."

As far as the subject, I think Kanye is right that you can't really "speak to the people" on a mass level without the corporate channels.

EDIT: Every time Kanye says slaves people think of black slaves because A)he's black and B) It's the most recent prevalent example of slavery. Slavery goes beyond Trans Atlantic slave trade, the development of western society and capital has always come on the backs of slaves and I say he's right that we're all slaves in a tangential sense when it comes to debt and how we publicly represent ourselves. He uses the word slaves in a bigger context than black slavery. I don't know if it's appropriate or not but I don't think his intention is totally conjuring the image of american slavery.

It's awkward how Kanye doesn't even look at Sway the whole time he's yelling. I mean, more awkward.

Same at Bonnaroo. A bunch of hard/prog classic rock before his set, ending with Time. I wonder if it's a hint towards his new album?

Ye's new album will be guttural yelling and self stylized anti Nike slam beat poetry over Genesis samples

Kanye's always had an amazing ear for pop, so I'm not sure why collaborations with pop artists surprise anyone.

He is a pop artist. Hell, he's on the short list of pop trendsetters.

I love Ye but he sounds like poo poo at the start of this. Things keep being off timing, including him and that guitar.

Donovan Trip
Jan 6, 2007
I really liked that a lot. Really personal, and a nice tribute to write a song about your mother and your daughter. Doesn't sound like a song that'd make it onto an album, though. Here's hoping that Kanye just puts out every cut track this time.

yeah that's been out for months now and idk if it's even totally legit

Same. I'm excited to see if its really on the album or not. I mean, if its a leaked track why the low quality fidelity? That's kind of like taking a blurry picture of bigfoot and often a giveaway that something isn't legitimate. I don't think the flow really sounds like Ye either...but its hard to say either way. I kind of want it to be real because I like the style.

The yeezus album peaked quite a bit too. I imagine it's because Kanye sits there with some poor engineer, yelling at him to turn it up more.

He just records a bunch of music every album, he probably has rights to use it if he wants to but that doesn't mean he will.

Donovan Trip

The more I hear Wolves the more I'm stoked on it. That's two songs out the gate with no drums or very minimal percussion. Overall the song is really provocative and that's what I expect from Kanye basically.

Donovan Trip

There's only one person who really knows when the album is done and that is yeezus. He could say it comes out Saturday, then change his mind and never even release it. Do not question his ways, praise yeezus.
