OFFICIAL Ye fka "kanYe West" x G.O.O.D. Music Thread - ¥$ (AKA YE X TY DOLLA SIGN) - VULTURES 2 (NOW AVAILABLE sorta)

[nako xl]

^ Every song on Yeezus was about Kanye's current mindset/state of being.  Kim was pregnant.  He made a song about a dude getting a chick he wasn't married to pregnant.

He wasn't sending her a message to get an abortion or anything, it was just an album full of metaphors and themes from a scary period of life.  Settling down and falling in love.  **** changing fast.  Wanting to do more and create while also creating life. 

She was his muse.

It was about Kim.

Blood on the Leaves >>>> all of those songs.

 

[waitwut]

LOST IN THE WORLD IS ABOUT KIM

LOST IN THE WORLD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Blood on the Leaves >>>> all of those songs.

Na.

You living in the moment, no way is BOTL better than Say You Will, Blame Game or Devil In A New Dress.

If you truly believe that than I'm just gonna have to question your taste.

I love Blame Game. If you asked me which song I would rather listen to multiple times in a row, though, I'd pick Blood on the Leaves.

I like Say You Will. I even like the Drake version.  Not to mention Ye is a MUCH better singer now than he was on 808s and MBDTF.  Blood on the Leaves >>>>>

Devil in a New Dress is cool. But most people love it because they crave soul sample Ye and automatically think he's only at his best when doing that. I don't need that sound. It's repetitive and bores me sometimes. I like Blood on the Leaves infinitely more than DiaND. And I like Devil.

Question my taste if you need to.

 

[nako xl]

And I'm sorry but "Send It Up" is that ignorant **** you need sometimes

 

Y'all must not be listening on the right bit rates. Still got that original web rip and not the remastered July UK release with the extra beat drops and patwa ad lib samples

 

[antidope]

Wait KanYe has a new album coming in June? Que?

Blood on the Leaves is the best track on Yeezus

 

[PRIME]

Y'all stay struggling with reality.

A platinum album that was at the top of most publications year end lists cannot be overrated. That doesn't make sense.

He alienated some people. But it is PLATINUM. And #1 on MANY lists

Don't you mean it can't be underrated?

^it went platinum and all his shows sold out. It wasn't underrated.

The only people who didn't like it were 1/3 of NTers, half of boxden, Bomani Jones, old white people who didn't even really listen to it but have a personal problem with 'Ye as a public figure, and ****** in the hood who bought the last Mobb Deep album off their local bootlegger.

My dude, thats like... 95% of the damn country

You know its real when both NT and Boxden don't **** with it.


You avy makes me angry doe >:


But nah. I'm excited for June. Despite me not liking his last album, Kanye is still one of my favorite artists. New Yeezy is always appreciated.

Off topic, but for those interested, good music restocked on almost all of their merchandise (angel hoodies, shirts, etc.)

Black Skinhead and New Slaves > Blood on the leaves and it's not even close

Black Skinhead and New Slaves > Blood on the leaves and it's not even close

Thats it, between yesterday and this, there are clearly some alternate versions of these two songs that I havent heard.

First theyre better than the New God Flow verse and now theyre better than Blood on the Leaves

Black Skinhead and New Slaves > Blood on the leaves and it's not even close

SNL/Yeezus tour Black Skinhead is ******* amazing

To be fair, the versions of BSH, New Slaves, Blood on the Leaves, On Sight, etc. that he plays during live performances are mixed/instrumentally different.  And some times his Black skinhead verse has different lyrics. The SNL version is prob the best rendition.

But in general, the UK iTunes remaster of the album that came out in July or so was the best mix of the album. (kinda how he released 9 remasterings of Late Registration.)  It's still the same music, it just sounds better on the right system or headphones.  I was listening to it yesterday and realized I didn't even notice the sax in the background of the Guilt Trip hook.

But people saying BSH/NS >>> BotL is just personal opinion. There was a time I would have argued Send it Up and I'm In It were the best songs on the album.

Nah. Kanye can g t f o h with those $160 screenprint hoodies

BSH > BOTL

If the video never existed Bound 2 would be a top 5 kanye track.

Yeezus is great I loved it, but I would rank it last among all of kanye's albums. But that's just how great his discography up until this point has been

HA. HAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

[lamekilla]

HA. HAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I like the sample

 

[nako xl]

I like the way he used the sample on Bound 2 way better than the lazy way everyone else used it. Bound 1 was lazy as **** too.

They all sound exactly like the original:

ADIDAS dropping the ball...

Kanye West adidas Collection Delayed Until Spring 2015

After initially announcing a September 2014 release date late last year, Kanye West alluded to a June release for his highly awaited adidas collection while presenting at the adidas Brand Conference in Germany last week. Unfortunately, it appears neither of those will be a reality as adidas has announced they expect the full collection to be released in early 2015. Reportedly, while the designs of the products are expected to be finished by June of this year, they won't be ready to roll it out until January or February of 2015. Stay tuned for further updates regarding the collection and its impending release.

 

[waitwut]

how they gon have ye hype it up and announce it then push it back like that?

 

[nako xl]

might have something to do with the leaked photos of a mock up of some loafers and the bad feedback it got.

 

[calikev34]

^Nako, do you got the pics you're talkin about?
bc this is what i found...

 

[nako xl]

i actually just pulled the loafers up and all the sites that reported them said Kanye's camp said those aren't his designs but generic adidas samples.  They're not part of his collection.

Every time I try to rank his albums, its never in the same order 

 

[lamekilla]

The kanye Adidas will be wack. *Starts count down for kanye returning to Nike and the air yeezy 3*

 

[calikev34]

Every time I try to rank his albums, its never in the same order 

This weekend i walked home listening to 808s and decided- this is my favorite album by him!
Listened to MBDTF this morning and decided-- THIS IS BY FAR HIS BEST
