Yeezus by Kanye West Review

Oh boy, oh muthafuckin' boy. It's Yeezus. When this dropped the reviews were insane. Five outta five, ten outta ten left and right. A- and five stars all over like it was Criminal Minded or Straight Outta Compton. After all that does Yeezus really deserve it? Well I steered clear upon it's original release...mainly after hearing the single Bound 2 where Kanye dropping lines about avoiding busting on a mink and saying he has a "Brad Reputation" for starting fight clubs. But I decided to check it out in hindsight of all the reviews after a friend recommended it, considering I take mainstream sites with a grain of salt. 

On Sight

What a way to open album! I mean that as negatively as possible. From the opening this almost sounds like Kanye just heard the recently departed Death Grips and thought about making his album sound like that. It's like he took a bunch of random sound bytes and dropped 'em in a blender and sent the shit onto the disc. Also some angelic lyrics to match.

PUT MY DICK IN THEY MOOOUUUUUTTTTHHHH

Black Skinhead 

This is automatically a step up from the melting pot of nonsense that opened the album, but I don't feel the title actually means anything. I'm sure there's a deep meaning behind this somewhere...(Not really) but it sounds more like shock value. A lot of shouting on this shit. Some grade A punches here too.

300 like the Romans

Dope, I've also heard some long drawn explanation behind that line not just being him confusing Spartans for Romans, but it's a little far fetched. Track isn't purely awful, it's just not really good for it's hype.

I Am a God feat....God?

Yeah, God himself sent a guest verse to Kanye, and by verse i mean SCREAMING OVER A FUCKING BEAT FOR TWO MINUTES! God? God awful, fuck this track fuck everything about it. Kanye screaming like he got his nuts kicked in, the Lord himself's wack ass part. Shit, if you really God you shoulda asked Big L to ghostwrite some shit for you. What the fuck is this!? I'm considering suing because my ears feel so violated.

New Slaves feat. Frank Ocean

After that masterpiece...really anything would be better. This sounds like a Ghostface Killah verse in comparison to that nonsense I just witnessed. This shit ain't great either. Kanye is anything but a political rapper on this album, but it's the best track so far...whatever that means.

Hold My Liquor

I like this a little bit. A little, the name fits because he may have been boozed when recording. Then a random horn started interjecting after every line and took the hope i had away. Like a Viking just pillaging this album of anything worthwhile. 

I'm In It

Home of the notable Asian pussy and sweet n' sour sauce line. Yep, still sounds dumb. Some more chopped and skrewed shit on here, very erratic. Not really anything to say.

Blood on The Leaves

Some sweetly sung autotune to bring us back to reality. And I'm not even kidding I'll take it over the past entries. I miss T-Pain just a bit because he was tolerable with his voice tuned, this is far from that but i'll take it over whatever else I just sat through. 

Guilt Trip

Kanye really liking this autotune shit huh? He's basically out to sear these robotic noises in my head n' shit. Worse than Blood, at least that was tolerable.

Send It Up

Kinda sounds like they recorded this in a slaughterhouse of banging metals for the opening moments. Forgettable if anything.

Bound 2

My god,...this may be the best song on this album. I can't even wrap my mind around that thought. I like the beat, I like the chorus. I even like the topic...but I don't like Kanye...his lyrics are just too nasty for this type of song. Random lines about busting on furs and references to Martin Lawrence's old show. But...I'll deal with it...oh wait..the albums over! yes! 

The Highlights:

Bound 2

Blood on the Leaves..I guess

The Lowlights:

I Am a God and fucking everything else really

The Gem:

N/A

Is it Worth a Purchase?

No...No! Stay away! Kanye just heard a Death Grips album and spewed out some nonsense. The production is tight and clear but it's just random noise spurted out. I'm sure there's a real "deep" meaning behind all this and Yeezus is just too complicated for me...but it's awful. I can't believe Rick Rubin worked on this. Like R.A. The Rugged Man said this shit might be the worse rap album in five years. (Mainstream anyhow), just not good. Way over hyped with no substance, all I can say is that at least it's fucking short. Call it hating, fuck i'll hate this album.

Overall Grade: F

You want a dope album from 2013, here's one. I didn't even want to look up anymore images. Had the shit on incognito just so no one would ever possibly find out i even googled a cover for Yeezus.

One Love..I guess...
