Alright I just heard Black Skinhead at a pub. Had a few beers. Got a little bit pumped up.

I've heard the album 7 times I think, but I still haven't listened to Yeezus drunk yet. That's got to make I Am A God and Send It Up way, way better, and I already like them.

So I finally gave Yeezus a listen earlier today, and I really was impressed. I would say with confidence it is the best thing he has done. It's fierce, it's taut, it's unforgiving, and it feels genuine. My main gripe with Kanye has always been that his narcissism complex feels contrived, but on this one he sounds more fragile and almost self-deprecating than on past efforts - especially Dark Twisted Fantasy. It's not like the lyrics are any more insightful or relatable than before, but rather that the intensity of the sounds around his voice seem a better reflection of the fractured emotional state he is trying to evoke. This is especially true of I Am a God: I get the feeling that the song is not so much a boast as an accusation that people are expecting him to act as such. Quite appropriately the beat and instrumentation on the track sound like the bottom is about to fall out. Black Skinhead and Bound 2 were my other favorites.

I think you're not giving MBDTF enough credit. There's plenty of fragility and self-deprecation on it: Devil in a New Dress, Blame Game, Runaway.

The role reversal in this last page is proof that no two Kanye West albums are alike.

I'll put this way: on Twisted Fantasy, he seemed to be saying, "you don't take me seriously because I've been an asshole in the past." On Yeezus, that tune has changed to "you don't take me seriously because I am a black man with a ton of money and influence." The sense of frustration and pain is a lot more palpable in the second sense, for me anyway. |

It was already absurd, but I laughed until tears began to flow when I saw how lazy the name was.
How much do I not give a fuck? |

Egyptian cotton. Wearing it will give you the ability to put that pussy in a sarcophagus.
