Kanye West - Yeezus (OUT NOW)

[SliK]

Verdict is in:

8.5/10

[SliK]

I don't really view it as a rap album, it's a new genre of hip hop album tbh

That's why I think people are saying it has "saved hip hop", it has given it a new direction.

He didn't save shit

Yeezus is bigger than hip-hop.

I don't think it has given hip-hop a new direction though...

Punk has been infused in to rap before, so has dancehall, rock and every other kind of musical influence on there... this does it bigger and bolder I guess but... it's too random to be a new direction.

And there's certainly no new direction lyrically, conceptually or anything else.

The one vibe I do hope Kanye inspires is minimalism. As I'm all down for that. Stripped down music done really well always sounds better than loud, epic, ott music to me... The Beatles are a prime example of that; but the thing is... Kanye keeps talking about how minimalist this album is, but the production sounds pretty packed to me. I'd hardly call it minimalist.

I mean, it is in spots... it's kind of clear-cut and sharp, like "New Slaves"... but then in other spots it's kind of just as manic and packed as usual.

But I'm definitely for more stripped down and direct production, as this modern-era of overproduction is annoying my ears. So few albums seem to have their own cohesive sound anymore, they all just sound like clusterfucks of noise and cheap digital drums.

I've never liked Kanye, so I won't listen to it but here's Porter's twitter from me:


"I wasn't a fan of the last Kanye album.. But why do I feel like im gonna like this one!"

No, it's actually smaller than hip hop. It's closer to electronic pop. Actually, it has only a few elements of hip hop except if you count Kanye's weak attempts at rapping on the album.

The best songs were the autotune songs (guilt trip/blood on the leaves) and Black Skinhead.

I'm pretty sure you know the rapping on the album isn't great. Or do you actually think it is?
