So on inforoo, You like the biggest dousche bag of all time, but hate 311. I'm really hoping this is a joke thread. HIS ALBUM IS CALLED YEEZUS FOR GOD SAKE.
Exactly.
Besides, Jim Morrison was the biggest do*che bag of all time.

Yeah, I can see how Kanye being the first messianic figure in the history of popular music would give people a sour taste in their mouths.

311, Blink 182, and Bassnectar are going to destroy Bonnaroo 2014 and you guys are going to miss it because your head is still up this douchebag's arse?

Sticking my head up someone's ass would certainly be preferable.

First impression: might be his best album from a production standpoint. lyrically it might be his worst. so it's hard for me to view this as a good rap album. But as a hip hop instrumental/industrial album...it's pretty damn good.
See...I view My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as his wordiest. I just prefer Late Registration's storytelling. And that's just my preference really. I like rappers that paint pictures and tell stories. Kanye hasn't really been doing that on a consistent basis for awhile.
As a side note, anybody else pick up on the big influence Trent Reznor's had on the past two outings?

"I'm in It" is an aggressively unsexy song about sex. Lots of boner killing lines in that song. Some of those lines are on par with Kings of Leon in the frittated* sexuality department.
*Really? We censor that word? You mods realize that it has an actual usage that doesn't relate to a derogatory term for a certain segment of society?

From the NYT review,
One of Mr. West’s oldest production trademarks is to raise the pitch of a recognizable song, and on “Yeezus” he does that using Nina Simone’s version of “Strange Fruit,” the chilling song from the 1930s about a lynching. Her austere piano ballad, with Mr. West’s voice computer-tuned into a melody, gives way to a dirge driven by repeated hornlike notes. With the profound history of “Strange Fruit” and the bitter clarity of Mr. West’s new sound, “Blood on the Leaves” could be a perfect setting for a manifesto on race and justice, a sequel to Mr. West’s songs like “Jesus Walks.” But it’s not: the lyrics are about a hookup at a party, an affair destroyed by “the limelight” and, one more time, alimony (a subject Mr. West handled with far more panache years ago in “Gold Digger”). It’s a rehash, a squandered opportunity.
Ah, okay. I think it's rather unreasonable to expect that to happen. Pareles basically had a very, very specific hope/expectation for that song. And I think it's hypocritical to criticize him for doing a "re-hash" of one type of song (about love/lust) when you're imploring him to do a different sort of re-hash (race relations).
In terms of structure and all that I think the lyrics are actually pretty good on that song.

Kanye's occupied this heightened sense of place in my musical listening ever since College Dropout came out. One of the few musicians where I've purchased every record/listened and consumed every record as they came out, and it's amazing how his taste's and direction have matched what and who I'm listening to. Stuff like TNGHT/Haxan Cloak that obviously have had an effect on the direction of his music.
