damn, I've always hated this album. But never had the perspective you gave in this comment. I'll give it another listen; this time as a futuristic album. It damn near could've been something from the year 2050 or something. So interesting.
I genuinely think, if you’ve properly listened to all of Kanye’s albums, with an open mind, it’s impossible to doubt he’s the best artist of our generation. He’s fucking insanely talented. Musical genius is genuinely the truth.
I know I say he is top 5 of this generation but people praise drake more because he sells more than Kanye and also Kanye’s crazy rants affect his legacy and discredit his work and if he keeps spitting out bullshit from the right wing party talking points shit. And antiemetic shit also.
Interesting fact, Virgil Abloh helped design the cover of the album. It represented the death of the CD era in music (with the streaming era coming to fruition at the time). The empty CD case with the blank CD inside actually symbolises an open casket of the CD, much like funerals. That's the genius of Kanye and Virgil (RIP).

The sample on 'On Sight' says "He'll give us what we need. It may not be what we want." This is exactly what Yeezus is. It's not what anybody "wanted" but we NEEDED IT
It’s also foreshadowing to the end of the album, It’s like god telling him that, he needs to change his destructive lifestyle he’ll get what he needs not what he wants
All the shit that ye has been doing the last few months reflects this line. Its tough love. You may not like or understand it in the moment but it will be good for us I’m the long run. It’s what we need not what we want.
Yeezus was such a great era. Yeezus tour to this day was one of the best tours I’ve ever been too. The merch was fire. The creativity and visual design was there. Yeezus the album is a grower for sure. Such a slept on album.
I agree that tour was straight fire. Only time I ever saw him live. This album was the last one Kanye I really connected to before it was too hard to separate the persona from the (imo declining) music. Excited to watch this!
I really wish people would understand how hated this album was when it came out. It was a tough time to be a Kanye fan. His music ages like wine though so I’m glad people now enjoy it.
"The one where he starts screaming on tracks" as my uncle would refer to it for a hot second. This came out right after Watch The Throne, which in my opinion is Kanye's most mainstream sounding project when put up against it's contemporaries. Yeezus came out of even Ye's left field and I was HERE for it!
100%. Loved this project when it came out, it helped being into experimental and metal. It was such a strange contrast from how well received fantasy was with the casual listener.
One thing I've noticed recently about this album is that On Sight and Bound 2 are both opposite yet perfect bookends for this album, with On Sight being a very hard, intense song cut up by breaks of a much softer sample, whereas Bound 2 is a soft sample song that is interjected by a hard bass more reflective of the rest of Yeezus throughout. Amazing that 9 years later there are still layers that you can uncover from this album
And the sample says “he’ll give us what we need, it maybe not be what we want” the entire album is is minor key (expected major parts that contribute to the themes) expect the on sight sample and all of on sight. The whole album people were waiting for the character of Yeezus to break and old Kanye to come out, and he finally does that on bound 2. But that is after he talked about so much shit.
@@luke_pilky I think he's referring to the sonics of the outro. I just think both artists work with Mike Dean and take influence from one another so its no surprise the synth sound could be quite similar.
"This is Frank (Ocean) by the way." "Oh, is it Frank? Right here? BUT THERE'S DRUMS!" That part got me! hahahaha Kevin is really understading more about hip hop culture then a lot of people.
Fun fact: Kid cudi didn’t even record his feature for guilt trip! Kanye found those vocals that Cudi recorded for a demo and just chopped it and put it on guilt trip. It’s so crazy cuz his vocals go so well with the song and beat…also around that time was when Cudi left GOOD Music…kanye ironically used the part where he says “if you love me so much then why’d you let me go?”
Yep and it also caused a riff between the two that ended with Cudi checking himself into rehab and Kanye getting the crowd during the Life of Pablo tour to sing for Cudi’s well-being with the number 1 song in the country at the time, “Father Stretch My Hands pt.1”. Eventually they’d heal together and spawn the all powerful Kids See Ghosts
Wow, thank you Hivemind, I'm really glad you enjoy this series as much as I do! If you got Kevin on to do a video with you guys, that'd be really cool! I am wanted for numerous cases of tax evasion.
Bound 2 is meant for the album. It’s a purposeful contrast as it’s actually musical as opposed to the harshness of the rest of the album. It’s supposed to demonstrate the potential of the romance. It was overall indicative of him finally starting to date Kim and the hope he had for the relationship. It’s why you have that interlude in the middle of on On Sight. It foreshadows the music you’ll eventually get on Bound 2, an antidote to the intensity of everything else. Hope in the midst of darkness.
@@FilmColossus the only thing I don’t think you’re reaching on is the contrast.. ‘It’s why you have that interlude at the beginning of on sight. That early interlude foreshadows the music you’ll eventually get’ 💀 bro what
Chris also can’t believe I’m JUST realizing this. but the damn album cover confirms the dark side vs. light side theory / concept. I always thought it was like a reflection but it’s clearly WHICH / ONE imagery like TLOP
Honestly, I’d say Yeezus wasn’t that daring, at least compared to the experimental hip hop already coming out at the time. I’d say Yeezus is probably a moment in his career when Kanye was very much behind the curve.
@@harshbrownslol it was daring in the sense of how main stream kanye still was and in the public eye. He had just married Kim k who at the time was one of the most hated figures in the media and after just creating his magnum opus. And I still never agree that yeezus sounds like anything during the time because it doesn't. At all. Love death grips but completely different sound. Sayinf yeezus= death grips is just a cop out imo.
@@harshbrownslol I mean if you could share some of those experimental albums from that time that did what yeezus did but better, i'll gladly listen to them
JUST AN FYI, the effect used on “Hold My Liquor” is called the “Prisimizer” effect. It’s used by fusing any auto-tune and the Antares Harmony Engine (really any harmony multiplier) together. Bon Iver was one of the first artists to use it in his music. Really beautiful sonically 🥰
Hold My Liquor isn't Prismizer, just the Antares Harmony Engine software - but they're related. Francis of Francis and the Lights "invented" the Prismizer by controlling Harmony Engine with a MIDI keyboard (obviously the functionality was there already but he was the first known to use it this way). Then he showed this to Justin Vernon of BI, whose engineer Chris Messina recreated the effect in hardware (Eventide H8000). The version that Justin uses on his albums is called the Messina. But on Yeezus it's just Harmony Engine running on an auto setting, no keyboard, which is what really makes the difference.
The sample at the end of New Slaves was by a hungarian band called Omega, the song is called Gyöngyhajú Lány and it was a huge hit in the 70s in Europe. I’m kinda proud, cause i’m hungarian too
@@adambarath9179 the first CD I ever bought,in the mid 90s,was a classic rock compilation and this was the last song on it. love it ever since. Also, I saw Omega live a few times,great band
I was SO mesmerized by this album when it came out, you have no idea. It was constantly on replay - especially blood on the leaves. It’s so cool to see your dad experience this for the first time, I felt 15 again.
What were your initial thoughts to "Blood on the leaves"? My friend cried when I broke down to her the meaning of the Nina Simone sample on Blood on the leaves. It's such a layered track-- Truly one of Kanye's best.
@@doitright5819 very similar to his in this videos but that was simply due to me experiencing the music and composition first. It was very different from what I’ve heard of Kanye up until that moment (not to imagine music in general in the early 2010’s). But as I listed again and again and finally looked into the sample he used, it became that much more grounded. It added onto the weight of the song. The original sample is so eerie and just overall morbid so although he changed it up here adds onto the monstrous theme I remember when I saw him live at SP tour, when it was dark and I heard that intro piano key - goosebumps. This song hits different when you experience it live
@@doitright5819 My fav song Kanye ever. I was just a kid when I first heard it, and I was in love with the song sonically. As I've grown up, I love what its about along with the way it sounds. One of ye's most powerful and heavy songs
The sample used in "On Sight" that plays in the middle of the track states that "He'll give us what we need, but it may not be what we want.". This not only perfectly shows how he knew people would react to the album, but also it explains Yeezus as a whole. The album may not be what people wanted, but Kanye felt that we needed something not done yet by him, and something new in the mainstream world of music, which he definitely brought attention to.
Reminder that in the Pitchfork's readers poll that year it won both most overrated album and most underrated album of the year. That's how divisive it was.
Blood on the Leaves is a crazyyyy track and gets me hype every time🔥 so cool seeing your dad react to it. Been watching the whole Kanye series! Love the content.
I just spent the last 4 hours consuming your guys content after just discovering this channel and what a treat it has been. It's incredible that even though I've listened to all of these albums hundreds of times, it feels like the first time all over again listening to it with Kevin. Really great shit, guys. Really fantastic to see a kid and his dad bonding over music like this. Connor has a wonderfully eclectic taste in music and I'm glad he's sharing it with his dad and the world. I would really like to see Kevin react to Acid Rap by Chance!
Such a great point man. My love of rap runs deep, but I go in phases a lot more these days when I'm really not listening to any. Discovering this channel a few days ago and watching the 2 Kendrick videos then this one was thrilling all over again and a reminder of how amazing these albums are. My new favorite RUclips.
Charlie Wilson was the lead singer of the 70s and 80s funk band The Gap Band. They had a few very popular songs. He's also been consistently releasing solo work.
I was laughing so hard when he was like “oh so he’s not like an old singer” and I was over like no he definitely is LOL. Tyler has a bunch of Charlie Wilson on his work too which is dope too
Always remember, this came after MBDTF. He could have easily stuck to that sound because it worked. But no, he decided he'd already made perfect, so instead he changed hip hop forever
About “Bound 2“ not supposed be there: pretty sure this song is supposed to act as a very tongue in cheek ending to the acid induced nightmare that is Yeezus. It is a complete shift in tone with themes centering around true love and finding the right person/building a family, almost suggesting an antidote to the previous nightmarish journey. But of course that comical happy ending reminiscient of a 60s TV show seems to good to be true and feels out place, we kinda know something is off. Uh-huh honey.
That and just as soon as you'd think the song is over, he hits you with "Jerome's in the house, watch ya mouth" almost like a twist ending. Implying his old demons (sex, drugs, ego, etc) are still around, which perfectly leads into TLOP
Kanye used a crazy amount of old school samples for this album. Definitely a shift in the game at the time. Charlie Wilson is actually a very well known 70s and 80s legend. Was part of the gap band!!
@@Slipcubusknight Same. I wrote a comment about how Charlie Wilson is now 69 years old, then saw this part of the comment section. There are so many other verbal references that they don't understand that are hilarious in Kanye's music. Because it came from black culture. But it's ok. At least they love and respect the music.
It was such a decisive album at the time. It’s like he took Hell of a Life and cranked it to 1000. But then he throws in Bound 2 to show you he could still do the soul sample songs if he wanted to. What a fantastic album Yeezus is.
I’d like to add that Charlie Wilson is in fact an old singer. He made his name back in The Gap Band back in the 70’s and 80’s. Their biggest hit was probably “You Dropped A Bomb On Me”
Yeah Charlie Wilson is amazing. If people haven't seen it yet, they need to look up Kanye on Jools Holland. Charlie accompanies him on a performance of New Slaves and I can't listen to that song anymore without hearing Charlie's amazing adlibs
When he was saying “this is brilliant” and you pointed at him right before the next switch in New Slaves 😂 love it. Pre yeezus, I was classic rock and U2 only with a Dad/family stuck in 1970, nothing new or risky allowed. This album singlehandedly changed my life and it’s wild that’s not an exaggeration. It changed my entire perspective on what was going on around me, and I’ll always have Yeezus to bring me back to my nostalgic teen days
"as soon as they like you, make them unlike you" That lyric is exactly who he is. I never cared for him and when I read how bad this album was I had to hear it... and loved it! It's still the only one I really care for.
This album is what made me Kanye fan... I didn't care for 808's, now that I'm much older I see the story connected between all the albums and it is truly amazing.
Every time I listen to this album I think “THIS is the stripped back, minimalist version??” I’ve always wondered what it sounded like before it was leveled out in the final hours.
Kanye really took a big gamble on this project. And it sounded great as years passes. Really great reaction from you guys!! I cant wait for you guys to listen to The Life of Pablo next.
Charlie Wilson is an old singer. He just continues to make contemporary music. He was the frontman for the hitmaking Funk band The Gap Band. Check out their songs "Early In The Morning," "Outstanding," "Yearning For Your Love" and "You Dropped A Bomb On Me." He went solo in the 2000s and is highly in demand for hip hop acts like Kanye and Tyler The Creator.
@@venkateshshenoy4888 The best Kanye song with a Charlie Wilson feature is Brothers, but it's unreleased. Kanye has way too many songs he's kept in the vault.
This album came out my senior year in high school and I remember hanging with the boys that summer with this playing before we all went our separate ways for school. This album never fails to bring me back to that summer.
Yeezus was the first Kanye album that I listened at launch, and I absolutely loved it. On Sight is such a great intro track because it just let you know that the album is different and that kanye is coming, "yeezy season approaching, fuck whatever y'all been hearing". Also he says to you is not what you want, "he'll give us what we need, it may not be what we want". That is directed at the guys that wanted the same things he did before, some wanted before 808's and some wanted MBDTF.
I can't express how happy I am that there are dads like this out there. I was beaten by mine my entire life, even tried to kill me by choking me to death recently but I was only letting the abuse occur until recently since I had been groomed by my cousin which in turn caused me to view my father's actions as love since our relationship had been estranged for as long as I can remember. I tried speaking up about being molested by my cousin once or twice, which was very hard to do thanks to the grooming she had been warping my mind with, my father instead called me a "storyteller.'" Thank you so much for these videos. It shows me how to support my son and be interested in his hobbies and gives me so much hope for humanity as I've only ever gotten to see/experience the ugliest of it. Kanye helped me survive so goddamn much. Thank you guys for the excellent content.
I hope you'll be able to be the best father possible to your child. You know what you went through was wrong and try to elevate yourself. That in itself is perfection. Stay strong, be good and keep enjoying life!
Y’all deserve every single bit of success coming your way. Incredible channel, dope people, just wow. Edit: Please dear god, do Circles, by Mac Miller. Please, please, please.
yea all the zero success they have coming, who are these two posers anyway? the music is bad enough but to watch two people pretend to like it? hmmm ya next!
The fact that your pops used Maria I’m drunk from rodeo with thug as a comparison to Yeezus is a W. You guys are great man and I’m glad to see him appreciate our generation of quality music that doesn’t get the praise it deserves.
i think the 2013 zane lowe interview is an essential companion piece to this album. it gives you a lot of the important context you need to understand the frame of mind at that time
I remember leaving a party I'd thrown AT MY OWN HOUSE to listen to Yeezus in my cars excellent sound system the very minute it had dropped. Had to be 2 or 3 in the morning. I was both blown out of my mind about it and pissed as hell that someone had blended industrial and rap in the way I'd wanted to for years.
@@bme0983 this is the exact reason I stopped making music actually lol I started making music because it was to bring ideas I had to life. But then I found out that someone is always going to make my ideas given enough time. So I lost motivation because I knew I’d hear my ideas eventually lol
I recently got into Kanye’s music a year ago and man it’s the greatest. I was in his top 0.4% listeners lol and this album took time to grow on me but man it is something special, really love how open your dad always is
Kevin was amazing as always, but I think Connor stole the show here. It’s palpable how much he loves this album and it was so cool watching his energy rub off on Kevin

Love when your Dad was loving New Slaves and talking at the end and you hit him with the point right before that outro “Like just wait for it my dude” Also I can’t stress enough how much I wish Kanye put the video version of Bound 2 on the album. The intro and the piano takes it up another level

The way you subtly watch your dad's reactions to certain parts is endearing. Your guys' passion for music is palpable, and reminds me of my relationship with music, and my father. Love this series. Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition is my react suggestion! Cheers
Charlie Wilson actually is a singer from back in the day he was in the group “gap band” and had many solo singles and albums do really well. And he’s very heavily featured in hip hop
Your dad was super hyped about how good the track “blood on the leaves” was. Such a great song. Wait until he takes a deep dive into the lyrics one day and understands the symbolism of “the strange fruits hanging”. Kanye is a pure genius. Sad reality and meaning of the past, but beautiful art
This makes me really excited to see your dads reaction to Ultralight Beam on TLOP. And all the other fucking bangers on that album. My fav Kanye album in newer times.

It’s a perfect album to listen to start to end, especially with the skits. Has great beats, storytelling , and ofc lyrics.

You guys should have Riley react to Yeezus, I think he would love it!
barely mentioned Assassin it was dissapointing
hell of a crossover right here GOD DAMN
What I like about this podcast is it makes you feel like you listening to the albums for the first time
I was wondering why I enjoy this channel so mich
Bound 2 is meant for the album. It’s a purposeful contrast as it’s actually musical as opposed to the harshness of the rest of the album. It’s supposed to demonstrate the potential of the romance. It was overall indicative of him finally starting to date Kim and the hope he had for the relationship.
It’s why you have that interlude in the middle of on On Sight. It foreshadows the music you’ll eventually get on Bound 2, an antidote to the intensity of everything else. Hope in the midst of darkness.
I appreciate you Chris 🙏
I don’t see it tbh
@@danielmcgrath680 don’t see what? The romance on Bound 2? How it contrasts On Sight?
@@FilmColossus the only thing I don’t think you’re reaching on is the contrast.. ‘It’s why you have that interlude at the beginning of on sight. That early interlude foreshadows the music you’ll eventually get’ 💀 bro what
Chris also can’t believe I’m JUST realizing this. but the damn album cover confirms the dark side vs. light side theory / concept. I always thought it was like a reflection but it’s clearly WHICH / ONE imagery like TLOP
I’m so impressed that your father has managed to stop himself from just jumping into every album. Idk if I’d be able to stop myself if I were him
I thought he was gonna start jumping on blood on the leaves
Well tbh, the Patreon and brand deal money would be a big incentive
He’s definitely gonna jump on father stretch my hands pt1
For all we know he already has and this is a fake reaction
@@King-Nova what?
Don't worry everyone, Kevin didn't spontaneously combust 5 seconds into On Sight
Blood on the leaves and Guilt Trip were like the two dopest tracks on the album, honestly. The production for both was amazing.

How absurd that 2013, the year this came out, was nearly 10 years ago 🤯
Time flying
stoooop you're scaring me xD
I still remember hearing this album when it dropped. Sophomore year, second period. Im freaking outttt
It was so far ahead of it's time
heres a theory, maybe thats how time works!
THIS VIDEO HIGHLY AWAITED. GONNA BLOW UP. Love the channel guys, you’re killing the game right now
one mil views easily. very well deserved too i luv these guys
only when they actually go for hip hop albums. Those get the best views
808s and Yeezus are forever cemented for how experimental and overall daring and culture shifting they were. 💎
Honestly, I’d say Yeezus wasn’t that daring, at least compared to the experimental hip hop already coming out at the time. I’d say Yeezus is probably a moment in his career when Kanye was very much behind the curve.
@@harshbrownslol it was daring in the sense of how main stream kanye still was and in the public eye. He had just married Kim k who at the time was one of the most hated figures in the media and after just creating his magnum opus. And I still never agree that yeezus sounds like anything during the time because it doesn't. At all. Love death grips but completely different sound. Sayinf yeezus= death grips is just a cop out imo.
@@harshbrownslol fantano burner
@@harshbrownslol actual melon head take
@@harshbrownslol I mean if you could share some of those experimental albums from that time that did what yeezus did but better, i'll gladly listen to them
I don't know why people hate this album. I think it just has to grow on people. Genius work of art. Creatively out of this world. Fearless.
because his original fan base is not into electric and rock music
@ayyy__donkey I'm saying
@ayyy__donkey NO WAY
@ayyy__donkey OMG WOW🤯🤯🤯 NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!!!!
Best album ever
JUST AN FYI, the effect used on “Hold My Liquor” is called the “Prisimizer” effect. It’s used by fusing any auto-tune and the Antares Harmony Engine (really any harmony multiplier) together. Bon Iver was one of the first artists to use it in his music. Really beautiful sonically 🥰
Also I’m pretty sure Kevin has already heard it before on Blonde
Hold My Liquor isn't Prismizer, just the Antares Harmony Engine software - but they're related. Francis of Francis and the Lights "invented" the Prismizer by controlling Harmony Engine with a MIDI keyboard (obviously the functionality was there already but he was the first known to use it this way). Then he showed this to Justin Vernon of BI, whose engineer Chris Messina recreated the effect in hardware (Eventide H8000). The version that Justin uses on his albums is called the Messina. But on Yeezus it's just Harmony Engine running on an auto setting, no keyboard, which is what really makes the difference.
Wasn't it invited by Francis and the lights?
@@filipmilczarek4456 Yeah, but Justin Vernon and one of his producers created their own version of it
what effect?
The sample at the end of New Slaves was by a hungarian band called Omega, the song is called Gyöngyhajú Lány and it was a huge hit in the 70s in Europe. I’m kinda proud, cause i’m hungarian too
Esetleg bojler érdekel uram?
Also worth mentioning that the band sued Kanye for the sample as they never got paid for it
I think the title in english is " The girl with pearls in her hair" . Cheers from Romania!
@@lutascosmin well basically yes, something like Pearly-haired girl
@@adambarath9179 the first CD I ever bought,in the mid 90s,was a classic rock compilation and this was the last song on it. love it ever since. Also, I saw Omega live a few times,great band
I was SO mesmerized by this album when it came out, you have no idea. It was constantly on replay - especially blood on the leaves.
It’s so cool to see your dad experience this for the first time, I felt 15 again.
w comment
What were your initial thoughts to "Blood on the leaves"? My friend cried when I broke down to her the meaning of the Nina Simone sample on Blood on the leaves. It's such a layered track-- Truly one of Kanye's best.
@@doitright5819 very similar to his in this videos but that was simply due to me experiencing the music and composition first. It was very different from what I’ve heard of Kanye up until that moment (not to imagine music in general in the early 2010’s). But as I listed again and again and finally looked into the sample he used, it became that much more grounded. It added onto the weight of the song. The original sample is so eerie and just overall morbid so although he changed it up here adds onto the monstrous theme
I remember when I saw him live at SP tour, when it was dark and I heard that intro piano key - goosebumps. This song hits different when you experience it live
@@doitright5819 My fav song Kanye ever. I was just a kid when I first heard it, and I was in love with the song sonically. As I've grown up, I love what its about along with the way it sounds. One of ye's most powerful and heavy songs
Thats whats great about this channel. When you see the dad reacting to the albums, it feels like you are listening to them for the first time again!
The sample used in "On Sight" that plays in the middle of the track states that "He'll give us what we need, but it may not be what we want.". This not only perfectly shows how he knew people would react to the album, but also it explains Yeezus as a whole. The album may not be what people wanted, but Kanye felt that we needed something not done yet by him, and something new in the mainstream world of music, which he definitely brought attention to.
Reminder that in the Pitchfork's readers poll that year it won both most overrated album and most underrated album of the year. That's how divisive it was.
Wow that's hilarious.
that’s actually so funny 😭
Blood on the Leaves is a crazyyyy track and gets me hype every time🔥 so cool seeing your dad react to it. Been watching the whole Kanye series! Love the content.

I just spent the last 4 hours consuming your guys content after just discovering this channel and what a treat it has been. It's incredible that even though I've listened to all of these albums hundreds of times, it feels like the first time all over again listening to it with Kevin. Really great shit, guys. Really fantastic to see a kid and his dad bonding over music like this. Connor has a wonderfully eclectic taste in music and I'm glad he's sharing it with his dad and the world. I would really like to see Kevin react to Acid Rap by Chance!

Such a great point man. My love of rap runs deep, but I go in phases a lot more these days when I'm really not listening to any. Discovering this channel a few days ago and watching the 2 Kendrick videos then this one was thrilling all over again and a reminder of how amazing these albums are. My new favorite RUclips.

You summed it up so well.
This channel is literally the best thing I’ve ever watched. Many blessing coming your way 2022. Thank you for this gem
Charlie Wilson was the lead singer of the 70s and 80s funk band The Gap Band. They had a few very popular songs. He's also been consistently releasing solo work.
Outstanding is incredible
@@waynewilson1068 Seconded. Completely obsessed with it for like a month last summer when I discovered it
@@Slyfield87 really good driving home from work song
I was laughing so hard when he was like “oh so he’s not like an old singer” and I was over like no he definitely is LOL. Tyler has a bunch of Charlie Wilson on his work too which is dope too
Yeah I hear him a lot on albums I listen to. He has such a recognizable voice that you just know it’s him. And he always brings it.
Always remember, this came after MBDTF. He could have easily stuck to that sound because it worked. But no, he decided he'd already made perfect, so instead he changed hip hop forever
FACTS 💯!!!!!
Rad
MBDTF and WTT dude was going insane
Nah men cllpng and death grips already pushed the boundary on experimental music back then. But he definitely made it available to the mainstream.
Soon as they like you make ‘em unlike you
About “Bound 2“ not supposed be there: pretty sure this song is supposed to act as a very tongue in cheek ending to the acid induced nightmare that is Yeezus. It is a complete shift in tone with themes centering around true love and finding the right person/building a family, almost suggesting an antidote to the previous nightmarish journey. But of course that comical happy ending reminiscient of a 60s TV show seems to good to be true and feels out place, we kinda know something is off. Uh-huh honey.
Did Kanye fucking pavlov me as soon as I read Uh-Huh honey I could hear the instrumental in my head
I mean, he couldn’t just not give that soulful shit he always brings
@@55thstreet66 damn that negativity gonna get you nowhere in life. Good luck to you.👍
That and just as soon as you'd think the song is over, he hits you with "Jerome's in the house, watch ya mouth" almost like a twist ending. Implying his old demons (sex, drugs, ego, etc) are still around, which perfectly leads into TLOP
JEROME’s in the house at the end proves that something’s off about this happy ending
You guys hit absolute gold here. Definitely the best series on RUclips right now, love the content. Keep it up!
Kanye used a crazy amount of old school samples for this album. Definitely a shift in the game at the time. Charlie Wilson is actually a very well known 70s and 80s legend. Was part of the gap band!!
Thank you for pointing this out. I was like noooo Connor 😂
@@Slipcubusknight Same. I wrote a comment about how Charlie Wilson is now 69 years old, then saw this part of the comment section. There are so many other verbal references that they don't understand that are hilarious in Kanye's music. Because it came from black culture. But it's ok. At least they love and respect the music.
It was such a decisive album at the time. It’s like he took Hell of a Life and cranked it to 1000. But then he throws in Bound 2 to show you he could still do the soul sample songs if he wanted to. What a fantastic album Yeezus is.
i only truly appreciated the album this year tbh. Glad i got hooked back in.

I’d like to add that Charlie Wilson is in fact an old singer. He made his name back in The Gap Band back in the 70’s and 80’s. Their biggest hit was probably “You Dropped A Bomb On Me”
you make me wanna shout

@@kiddfromla hell yeah! Early in the Morning still goes too 🤝

Yeah Charlie Wilson is amazing. If people haven't seen it yet, they need to look up Kanye on Jools Holland. Charlie accompanies him on a performance of New Slaves and I can't listen to that song anymore without hearing Charlie's amazing adlibs
When he was saying “this is brilliant” and you pointed at him right before the next switch in New Slaves 😂 love it. Pre yeezus, I was classic rock and U2 only with a Dad/family stuck in 1970, nothing new or risky allowed. This album singlehandedly changed my life and it’s wild that’s not an exaggeration. It changed my entire perspective on what was going on around me, and I’ll always have Yeezus to bring me back to my nostalgic teen days
Absolutely love that 🔥🔥🔥
man i wish i could listen to this album for the first time again. but it’ll always be there for us to enjoy
Same I’m u2 to Ye
U2 mentioned 🔥🔥🔥
Charlie Wilson is old and a legend ! Love how your dad breaks down each song. Art is subjective! So this is pure gold
Genuinely great reaction channel. Has actual substantive conversation and reaction that really transforms the music and adds to the conversation.
You are your dad literally are so entertaining to watch… his commentary is hilarious too. My favorite channel to watch. Keep it up
"as soon as they like you, make them unlike you"
That lyric is exactly who he is.
I never cared for him and when I read how bad this album was I had to hear it... and loved it!

You should listen to his other albums. Really great stuff🔥
life of pablo is somewhat similar to yeezus, you might like it
@@napoopy it’s not at all aside from like 2 songs
Kanye has so many timeless albums how could this possibly be the only one you like
@@napoopy life of Pablo was one of my favorites. Just like Kanye I tend to appreciate the things where most the herd don’t.
This album is what made me Kanye fan... I didn't care for 808's, now that I'm much older I see the story connected between all the albums and it is truly amazing.
Every time I listen to this album I think “THIS is the stripped back, minimalist version??” I’ve always wondered what it sounded like before it was leveled out in the final hours.
What was the story again? Rick Rubin came in at the 11th hour to strip it back or something?
Search up “Thank God For Drugs”. I believe most songs that were stripped from the yeezus album were in this earlier song.
Thank God For Drugs was the latest iteration of Yeezus songs before being heavily reworked. id recommend to give it a listen.
This was my first Kanye album as a wee lad. The production on Blood on the Leaves from TNGHT still gives me chills

Charlie Wilson is an old singer. He just continues to make contemporary music. He was the frontman for the hitmaking Funk band The Gap Band. Check out their songs "Early In The Morning," "Outstanding," "Yearning For Your Love" and "You Dropped A Bomb On Me."
He went solo in the 2000s and is highly in demand for hip hop acts like Kanye and Tyler The Creator.
Charlie Wilson is an all time great!
yeah they meant old like from way back, like nina simone, they weren't literally talking about his age
He's also on Snoop's and Justin Timberlake's "Signs".. great song
My favorite Kanye song Charlie Wilson is on is See Me Now, I wish it was on streaming services because I would play that nonstop lmao
@@venkateshshenoy4888 The best Kanye song with a Charlie Wilson feature is Brothers, but it's unreleased. Kanye has way too many songs he's kept in the vault.
This album came out my senior year in high school and I remember hanging with the boys that summer with this playing before we all went our separate ways for school. This album never fails to bring me back to that summer.
That put such a big smile on my face
Can’t wait for Bound 2, On Sight, all of it
This is gonna be so good
Edit during the live stream: this is so good lol
Yeezus was the first Kanye album that I listened at launch, and I absolutely loved it. On Sight is such a great intro track because it just let you know that the album is different and that kanye is coming, "yeezy season approaching, fuck whatever y'all been hearing". Also he says to you is not what you want, "he'll give us what we need, it may not be what we want". That is directed at the guys that wanted the same things he did before, some wanted before 808's and some wanted MBDTF.
I can't express how happy I am that there are dads like this out there. I was beaten by mine my entire life, even tried to kill me by choking me to death recently but I was only letting the abuse occur until recently since I had been groomed by my cousin which in turn caused me to view my father's actions as love since our relationship had been estranged for as long as I can remember. I tried speaking up about being molested by my cousin once or twice, which was very hard to do thanks to the grooming she had been warping my mind with, my father instead called me a "storyteller.'"
Thank you so much for these videos. It shows me how to support my son and be interested in his hobbies and gives me so much hope for humanity as I've only ever gotten to see/experience the ugliest of it. Kanye helped me survive so goddamn much. Thank you guys for the excellent content.
damn stay strong bro
I hope you'll be able to be the best father possible to your child. You know what you went through was wrong and try to elevate yourself. That in itself is perfection.

Love when your Dad was loving New Slaves and talking at the end and you hit him with the point right before that outro “Like just wait for it my dude”
Also I can’t stress enough how much I wish Kanye put the video version of Bound 2 on the album. The intro and the piano takes it up another level

Charlie Wilson actually is a singer from back in the day he was in the group “gap band” and had many solo singles and albums do really well. And he’s very heavily featured in hip hop
