It was a "grower" album for me.4/5 wrote:What's so good about Yeezus? Only a couple of listens, but I don't hear anything particularly interesting at all. Again, I've only listened twice, but it strikes me as a very odd Kanye album where I think he raps better than usual but the songs are weaker and the production is a lot worse/down right annoying than normal from him. Obviously I'm "wrong", but I don't think I can see investing a lot more time on that record.
I wasn't particularly into it either, dude. Go with your gut.4/5 wrote:What's so good about Yeezus? Only a couple of listens, but I don't hear anything particularly interesting at all.

I have some friends that do a Kanye podcast, and they interviewed that guy! http://www.watchingthethrone.com/joshua-chaplinsky.htmldurdencommatyler wrote:
"Of Kanye West, who was my friend in college and after he dropped out, I can speak only with extreme sadness... So begins this epic cautionary tale of ambition and hubris. A bizarre mix of Lovecraft and hip-hop history, Kanye West—Reanimator reimagines the classic story "Herbert West—Reanimator" with everyone's favorite petulant genius cast in the titular role. In it, Kanye West attempts to reanimate a moribund hip-hop scene, only to come to the conclusion that his music is so powerful, it should be used to reanimate the dead. And who better to reanimate than those two legendary titans gone before their time—Biggie and Tupac? Hilarity and carnage ensue."

This one actually sounds quite good so far - maybe this will be my gateway into Kanye...
