  • My very first listen to Yeezus by Kanye West. Spoilers... this album rocks!
    Kanye West's sixth studio album. I tend to listen to albums out of order simply because I go by the most popular requests. What I've noticed so far is that Mr West is living up to the hype. I avoided all talk/reviews/reactions of this album before listening to it and I will now be interested to see what 'ratings' it got from the so-called experts!
    Solid thumbs up from me. The opening track is outstanding and it never really leaves the top of the hill from that point onwards.

      @BareBandSubscription 3 года назад +32

      Rick Rubin was also brought in at the last minute to pretty much salvage the project and make it more minimalistic. He was also the primary producer/songwriter of “Bound 2”. Between him and Daft Punk, it bears repeating that Kanye isn’t exactly a singular force, like many people want to believe.

    • @BareBandSubscription
      @BareBandSubscription 3 года назад +11

      @John Short
      True, early on he was far more singular, but his music was also a bit more conventional and certainly less elaborate. Once that album was such a success, he started having the clout and resources to pull people in to do the kind of heavy lifting he couldn’t really manage as a songwriter, and it’s just progressed further in that direction ever since. MBDTF especially is just a product of committee. He assembled dozens of producers and collaborators who contributed very heavily to that thing. He just happened to be the guy to put that team together, but it really wasn’t like he was orchestrating everything, and certainly not like he wrote and arranged all that stuff. “Devil in a New Dress” is maybe the best song on that album, and he didn’t produce that one at all. He only rapped over it. Then there’s Kid Cudi being a major hand in 808’s direction, Daft Punk and Rick Rubin on Yeezus, Chance the Rapper helping with the gospel sound of Pablo, and countless other producers, artists, and arrangers who have heavily shaped or straight up made entire songs for the dude, but the public gives him all the credit. It’s a total Steve Jobs facade of populist interpretation, putting one guy’s face and name on the work of many. Whenever he does attempt to be sole producer these days, it’s usually pretty weak or undercooked. The music is (mostly) good, and he’s a creative guy who gets things done, but he’s so not the Brian Wilson-esque musical genius everyone wants to think he is.

    Its funny you bring up the 80's and 90's electronic sounds on this album, Kanye got a lot of help from European electronic producers such as Daft Punk and Gesaffelstein when working on this album. This is also one of the first albums Travis Scott worked on for Kanye so it's funny you bring up Rodeo LOL

    I'm speechless. This video was not only mentally but physically exhilarating, and I swear you transcended as the video went on. The coincidences of the god complex comment, the corolla, and the guitar solo before the actual guitar solo in the song...just wow. You, my friend, are legendary. The musical intuition is truly mind-blowing and beyond inspiring. Bless your soul
