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: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
