Yeezus Kardashian Album Thread (6.18)

Found The Guardian review interesting to read mostly for the comments below from people that question why a review that makes Yeezus sound like a two star album is still awarded four stars.

There was a two star review by them and also a four star review as well. Also got named second best album of 2010 in the end of year reviews. Lots of contradiction by them.

justin vernon on Can't Hold My Liquor is outstanding, Ye's verse is vintageand Mike Dean kills it with the guitar solo..biggest grower

still can't get into I Am A God..that croissant line is just too much

 

[peagle05]

I was playing Kanye's album at my crib and three UFO's crashed in my back yard.

I was playing Jay's album and now 3 camels are grazing in my back yard

Negro what back yard, your kitchen, living room, dining room and bedroom are all in one room. One person got to step out so another can step in.

I was thinking the same kinda thing ..... I was like shit where have I heard this flow before?

 

[IceBergTaylor]

I really fuck with this album man its like its more addicting the more you listen to it. On Sight is wack as fuck tho.

I do think Born Sinner is a better album too.

 

[Kame]

Album is getting great reviews as usual

I fuck with On Sight

HiphopDx gave it a 4.5/5... I'm surprised cause that's mostly a hip hop purist site

Lol this fool said even the screaming on "I Am God" was on point.

This planet... I don't wanna live here anymore.

 

[Lebong James]

am i the only one that fucks with on sight? i thought it was classic Kanye lyrics (the Cochran line kills me)

plus that sample>life itself

 

[TheBossman]

i wonder how many industry (label) influenced reviews has lebong posted so far.

some of these reviewers work for MTV and that "hottest MC" show gets 0 fucks given by real hip hop fans.

My ears and hip hop knowledge>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anything a bias reviewer wants to tell me.

 

[c. skillz]

After listening to the album 4 times straight through, its not as bad as I've heard. I can't get with On Sight, but its misleading on what the album offers musically. On Sight and I Am A God are wack to me, but I enjoyed the other 8 tracks.

The Album doesnt offer much subject wise (especially based off the album title), but Kanye is his normal (post Late Registration) over the top, boastful, sex-driven, comedic self on the album.

Blood On The Leaves, I'm In It, New Slaves, Bound 2, and Send It Up jam...the other tracks are just average.
