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

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Album Review: Clipse- Let God Sort Em Out

Well I didn't rush this review, I've had some time to sit with this album. It's a hell of a comeback album. Pusha T and Malice are deadly as ever on the mic. The album lyrically is intense. Production is pretty good too but I expected slightly more from an album produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. Speaking of Pharrell, he's all over this album...sometimes not just relegated to a hook. The album gets off to a great start with "The Birds Don't Sing" where both brothers talk about their parents who passed. Pusha T raps about his Mom. Malice about his dad. I really liked the vibe of "All Things Considered"; the The-Dream feature is good. That brings me to the features....like a monster one from Kendrick Lamar on "Chains & Whips". Tyler the Creator does well on "P.O.V.". Nas is on the 2nd last track and he does well too. "M.T.B. T. T. F." is fire, and it stands for Mike Tyson Blow to the Face lol. Ultimately its h...

My Top Video Games of all time

I've done plenty of music lists, so i think its time to pay homage to my top video games of all time. I'm only going to mention games i've played. So, if a game you like is not up here(which I guarantee a few wont be) let me know. Lets get into it.... 1)       The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time- I have praised this game so many times, and it’s all well deserved. Ocarina has great controls and the graphics were nice at the time. I really love the story, and how the game is paced. You do a side quest of some kind, which generally isn’t long, then you go to a dungeon, get an item, use that item to get further in the dungeon, then beat the boss. Ocarina is, the best Zelda, and as of right now I don’t think that’s up for discussion. There are some really good Zelda games though such as Wind Waker, ALTTP(which made my list), and some others. 2)       Final Fantasy X- Final Fantasy X….is the only FF I’ve beaten, and I’ve played F...
