    MY FAVOURITE ALBUM - I was at the darkest moment of my life when ye released. One day I was listening to it while painting fences, and with each song that played (I had the album on a loop) I could feel the darkness peel away in layers. 'I Thought About Killing You' showed me the value of airing your thoughts, no matter how dark - they're just thoughts. Yikes showed me how guys like me could be amped up and do wild things with those thoughts (SOMETIMES I SCARE MYSELF/THIS THE TYPE OF HIGH THAT GET YOU GUNNED DOWN). All Mine is the inner monologue of a 20 year old man, as I was. Ghost Town made me realise that I nobodies opinions of me should hurt me anymore.
    I have since felt kinda freeeeeeee.... glad you have the same passion for this piece of art as I do Merc, fan of your work too king!
    ye helped save me
    edit: Glad to see it's your favourite too Merc - this one Kanye fan that ain't mad at you for that!

    For I Thought About Killing You, notice he repeats the opening “the most beautiful thoughts are always beside the darkest” three times. First time silence follows. Second time musical humming starts. Third time there’s more auto tune and synth. The start of a song maybe? And then we get that last stretch where the thoughts get even darker, the voice gets lower, then the song finally transitions to music. So you literally witness the dark thoughts lead to the beauty of music. And the album follows that structure. 3 dark songs. Pivot point. Then three reflective songs where beauty emerges from darkness. Growth has occurred.

    I guess every Kanye Album can be somebodies favorite and since this one is just a more precise blow to the feels its my favorite Kanye album from time to time too, just today I kinda got my heart crushed and this was just a delight to work through it a little without feeling alone and I wanted to thank you for that and your content in general, although I have to admit, I've only watched your Kanye videos +2 others, but Igor is on my list next since im struggling to appreciate it in a lot of places and you translate the vibe of songs with your additions pretty well and showing off angles of appreciation I hadn't considered yet

    A QUESTION FOR THE MERCURIAL NUMBER 6: Having listened to a lot of Kanye’s discography, seeing how his music has evolved & he has constantly pushed the envelope with his creative ideas without fear. How would you Rank him compared to your favourite artists? Would you give him GOAT status like we do in the hip hop community or is it just completely different?

    • @luis911
      @luis911 2 года назад +11

      In my opinion Kanye surpasses the GOAT status in hip hop and transcends to one of the GOATS as a musician. Most people who shit on Kanye probably know him for his public antics and likely never listened to his whole discography. He consistently drops highly rated albums while constantly rebuilding himself. No two albums are similar.

  • @sincerelyT_
    @sincerelyT_ 2 года назад +29

    Mr Mercurial Number Six please listen to 808s and Heartbreak for us, we’d all love to watch you experience it. 808s is my favorite Kanye album and it is the main Kanye album that influenced Travis Scott who i know you also enjoy his music. Also this is the album Kanye made after his mother tragically passed away and his fiancé of 8 years broke up with him leaving him in despair and depression. This is Kanye’s most sad album and the album that revolutionized the use of autotune in the mainstream of rappers nowadays like Travis Scott. The drums as you would expect are also crazy on this album, Kanye wanted to give them an almost Phil Collins like sound by adding reverb and distorting the 808s because he wanted them to still HIT but at the same time sound dull & lifeless. All and all i can’t wait for this reaction from you and i think you’ll enjoy the production as well as Kanye’s melodies and song making capability. (Also this album is directly after Kanye lost his mom (DONDA), while as the album DONDA is most likely him fully coming to terms with her being gone and him being much more religious. (Kanye’s said multiple times before that his Mom was his favorite person in the world) So you can really hear the pain in this record.

    Side 2 of this album is one of the my favourite things in music, so when you asked if we were going to join you for it, I stopped the video, went to make a coffee and here I'm. What I love the most about watching your reactions is that, in a weird way, feels like experiencing it for the first time again through you. This album helped me through a hard time when it came out and now I can tell some hard times come ahead, so this feels like an extra push to keep going.

    This album follows Ye's mental health cycle.

    2) Yikes- Is the manic episode
    3) All mines- His well documented sex addiction tied to his episodes
    4) Wouldn't leave- Is the fall out
    5) No mistakes- Intial relief that Kim stood by him
    6) Ghost Town- Hopefulness for the future
    7) Violent Crimes- Envisioning his future but being apprehensive that his mistakes will catch up.
