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

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
