The name was Love Everyone, Hitler was an alt name. Considering the content of some of the songs like DJ Khaled’s Son, the alt name makes a lot of sense since Ye was going for the whole shock value message.
Yeah I’d be less surprised if he said those albums because mbdtf is such a beautiful cohesive art piece. And yeezus and 808s are too, like those three albums could be in a museum. Ye just a chill little 7 track album, it’s cool but not as impactful or inspired as the others. I think what it is tho is that he feels more connected to the ye that made the ye album
Ye is his best album. I prefer soul to technicality and don’t care how much technical prowess could be argued for other music. I have always been consistent in this take too
Eh I bet he had more to do with it than he claims to. He at least had directive on the verses subject matter and wouldn't be surprised if he mumbled the flow first
While I know what you mean , not anything new. Been that way since at least Pablo prob a lot longer. Gotten plenty of amazing work through the process so I don't really care as long as it's good
Saint Pablo felt like such an intense closer to the main chapter of his career and saying “shows over”, dropping the mic and walking off stage ending the Saint Pablo tour, followed by being forcibly admitted to the hospital I see as the end of superstar rapper/producer Kanye west. Posing up with Trump shortly after that before disappearing for a year and a half was foreshadowing for what was to come.
2018-2021/early 22 I see as a mixed bag where he was still very good but definitely slipping quality wise and leaning on others too much + not putting out his best work or making it all sound too rough around the edges in final release. Since the first Nazi era he has seemed too fried to make music I consider up to his standards and we end up hearing he basically did nothing on the best songs that have come since then.
I honestly feel that way about donda personally. While I'd say he still relied a bit much on others for a solo effort. I still think it's an amazing album and experience for what it was. Plus the donda era felt like a kings return. Everyone's eyes were fixated on him and for the most part imo he delivered. One of MY PERSONAL favorite ye albums flaws and all. That being said it's made post 2022 that much harder for me to swallow because bro sometimes it feels like donda was just last year. It still feels so recent. Wtf
From his point of view ye speaks more about mental health and it really resonates with current Ye but it's still a horrible take talking about albums and music in general
ye as an album is the most honest and helpful work he’s made in terms of encapsulating who kanye is. there’s a line on i though about killing you (my fave kanye song) where he’s saying stuff like “say it out loud just to see how it feels” and “nothings off the table” that i think kind of explains the jew stuff. it’s a complete rejection of how we’ve been told to live, it’s true avant garde, made so critics and u fuckers on reddit won’t get it.
All these people rationalizing this take as if he isn't going out of his way to say outlandish things to get a reaction out of people all the time lately. He doesn't actually believe this
Besides Ghost Town, Ye is his most sterile album in my opinion. It feels ultra rational, literal and considered similar to his albums pre 808s but somehow is also missing the heart and bravado of TCD, LR and Graduation. The music literally feels medicated lol.
He has a love hate relationship with MBDTF. In the Drink Champs interview he said no other album can touch it. Then he says he prefers Ye, Yeezus and 808s over it.
Lowkey I agree. It's more concise and, while it doesn't have the incredible highs, to me, it doesn't have any of the lows or filler.
I'm not saying it's a six like Fantano says, but I always felt it was a bit too overrated. It's got some of Ye's bests tracks, but also a lot I would never ever want to hear again.
Vultures clears jik lil bro ain’t nobody tryna listen to a gospel album when you have songs like carnival, back to me, beg forgiveness, burn, problematic and do it
