Kanye West's Yeezus TbT Review


Kanye West


Yeezus

Track by Track Review

 

On Sight- This track was produced by Daft Punk, so the beat is way out there….the lyrics aren’t all that but this is a great way to open the album…

9/10

 

Black Skinhead-This track is high energy as well. Its actually one of the finest Kanye songs I’ve heard…since MBDTF.  The beat is infectious, as is the chorus. The song borders on tribal with lots of other elements mixed in.

10/10

 

I Am A God-Spooky, horrocore, Enigmatic. All of these can be used to describe this song. Kanye’s Ego is on full force here. The result is an interesting track. The beat has a techno feel to it. The screaming is borderline annoying however.

8.5/10

 

New Slaves-Lyrically, I think this is the album’s best song. The beat is creepy, and the chorus is effective. “Used to only be n***as!”. The song is great but the end of the song is rather un necessary.

9.5/10

 

Hold My Liquor-This song reminds me of Drunk and Hot Girls from Graduation. A somewhat catchy yet somewhat ineffective song. However Kanye won’t let Chief Keef ruin this song. This sounds like it could belong on 808’s and Heartbreak….hmm.

7.5/10

 

I’m In It- I feel that Kanye is kinda too sexually explicit here, but the execution is great. The song has lots of little effects on it. “Eatin Asian P***y all I need I sweet and sour sauce”. Travi$ Scott does a good job here as well.

8/10

 

Blood On the Leaves-Yeezus’ best song is a dope! This song is multilayered and brilliant. It kinda reminds me of a song from 808’s but with Dark Fantasy type beat….but its very strong and dark. I love the beat and Tony Williams does a great job. #Epicsong

10/10

 

Guilt Trip-I love this song. It has lots of different songs. Witness art. Kid Cudi role is minimal here, I think he should have more of an impact on this song. The Chorus is great, even if I don’t know what its saying lol!

9.5/10

 

Send It Up-This song is a straight club banger. Its hot, but it doesn’t really push any creative boundaries. However I do love Kanye’s version of In Da Club as he claims it is.

9/10

 

Bound 2-This song is kinda like old school Kanye(Think Late Registration). I love the chorus, and the beat is soulful. The thing is, it doesn’t really fit with the rest of the album, but I guess that’s why Kanye made it the last song.

 

9/10

FInal Album score: 9.5/10

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Kanye West- Donda 2

This was another Kanye album I wasn't too hype to listen to cause of its bad reputation. I am glad he put it on traditional music services.The album was available on this weird music player thing in 2022 at first. Kanye raps alot about his ex wife Kim Kardashian here. I know he did on Donda 1, but he does it a lot more here. The song "Get Lost" feels empty and is so boring. "Security" has a weird beat...I mean it's too weird for its own good.  I really like "Keep the Flowers", its got a nice beat to it.I liked "Too Easy" as well. "City of God" is arguably the best song....Alicia Keys does a great job, as does Five Foreign. A different version of "530" is here as well. I enjoyed "Pablo" too which features Future and Travis Scott. Ultimately its an average album....but it wasn't that bad overall. However it did fall woefully short of the first Donda 2 which was great. Lyrics 18 Beats 21 Depth 18 Tilt 18 Ver...

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
