Kanye West - Jesus is King (September 27, 2019) Album • Page 22

I mean Yeezus is pretty perfect.

 

I like some of Yeezus.

 

Pablo before the "bonus" tracks is fantastic

 

this is wild

 

Yeezus is a perfect album. one of the best of the decade easily.

 

Pablo is his first bad album

 

Ye probably is

 

most of pablo is good. Ye is bad.

 

I mean, I like them as standalones but I really don't think they work in context of the "album," they feel more throw-back whereas the first half of the album was what current Kanye was doing. That's kinda how I hear it at least, 30 Hours, Parties and Facts in a row just feels like (good) singles tacked on to the end of an album like bonus tracks

 

Pablo is great. Top 4 Kanye

 

Yeah, Pablo is a special one for me. Definitely the first where you could feel things starting to fall apart, but that chaos was part of its charm (musically speaking).

 

Missed the best live performance discussion but this is my vote

 

I constantly forget this and Only One exist

 

Same. I really liked about half of Ye, which probably puts it above other post-MBDTF for me, though that doesn’t mean much.

 

Oh I'm fully aware hahaha

 

I've mentioned it a bunch but I absolutely LOVE KSG, still listen to it all the time. Ye is fine, his weakest project easily imo but I love Ghost Town, I Thought About Killing You and No Mistakes, and Yikes is a fun song. I love pretty much every song on Pablo but it's not a cohesive album by any means

 

I know people love Yeezus but Yeezus was actually the beginning of the dark ages of Kanye's career, quality or no

 

No. Yeezus is fantastic.

 

I mean his mother's death and the breakup of his engagement is the start of a lot of "darkness" in his career, if you wanna go way way back

 

I agree with that, but Yeezus was when no Old Kanye was left, to put it simply.

 

At least during the Yeezus era he was talking about how classism is bad, instead of being friends with fascist millionaires.

 

Wasn't he talking about how classism is bad and saying that racism isn't a thing anymore? Was that during Yeezus?

 

His mental decline or whatever you want to call it, probably goes back to his mom's death, or maybe even earlier. Musically however, Yeezus was not a decline.

 

I thought that started with Pablo? It's hard to keep track of the stupid stuff he's said.

 

Based on his Zane Lowe interview, I thought it was more of a classism is at the root of racism thing, especially considering how much Yeezus talks about race, but I could be misremembering
