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

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...

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...
