I can't catch that beat lol, it just sounds like a whole bunch of sounds playing at once...he doesn't even sound on beat, if it's possible to be.

And that sums up half of Yeezus.

You 2 can't hear the downbeat? :lol

Yeezus had bounce to it, I think so...Ye usually brings it on albums anyways so this track may just be a throwaway, hopefully

HudMo has shows in DC tomorrow and NY Wednesday. Hopefully he'll play the full version.

I'll be at the Webster Hall show, so fingers crossed.

The percussion sounds like an African drum rhythm which I'm sure is what he was going for and why ADIDAS probably wanted this song for the World Cup. There's a clear down beat as currensy said, the drum rhythm's just not traditional. but he's on beat. there isn't much going on there though so you cant really judge the song off what we have so far.

Maybe he's going for a World Music vibe thanks to adidas

I think it's quite the opposite actually.

If a new artist had pulled a stunt like Yeezus it would have been universally panned.

But, Travis Scott.

Anywho... to save typing out my million other replies in regards to Yeezus and Kanye, partially in support of @GInfante's statement that he likes Yeezus, I'll just copy and paste a comment I read today off that ADIDAS ad:

in b4 tl;dr

Actually, Kanye's content hasn't changed since College Droupout. The delivery is anything but the same, speaking in terms of the production, but the lyrical content has stayed the same since day 1. All Falls Down and New Slaves is one example. The duality between being a puppet consumer to corporate companies, yet admiring them and their cool products.

Sonically, Kanye has only improved on every level, of course by administering and giving credit to lots of other producers/engineers and collaborators so that the sound isn't messy. Imagine if Never Let Me Down, or Jesus Walks was remastered by current Kanye standards. Would be unreal.

Yeezus is a perfect album in my opinion that screams of extreme emotion. From the transitions that start and stop, soft and then dark melodies, to the provocative obscene lyrics that initially make you cringe, but now have you chanting. Soulful tracks like Bound 2 that's almost directly out of his soul sampling catalogue.

I can literally go from Two Words to Blood on the Leaves.

You can't be a real Kanye fan and think he has a "God-Like" complex. Dude was literally a nobody in his room making beats and yelling into a camera claiming that he was gonna be the best producer in the world, and then become the best rapper in the world. No one believed in him. He literally worked his *** off non-stop. And the greatest thing to see is that he has never stopped yelling into those cameras. He has never lost that hunger to do better and bring better material to the table. He's won almost every award, and has achieved far more than almost any musician - dead or alive. Yet he still has the hunger.

But of course if you don't like his music... Just hit next.

That last sentence pretty much sums up how I feel about this argument at this point.

(P.S. I read that whole thing in Patrick Bateman's voice.)

Just cause it's no longer soul beats don't mean the music is bad, look how crazy everyone went over 'Bound 2' because it sounded like vintage Ye...or would ya'll prefer an album full of 'Mercy's and 'Clique's

Deleted member 107398 · May 28, 2014

Just so I know where you dudes stand...general consensus...did NT like Watch The Throne?

Deleted member 107398 · May 28, 2014

Kanye would've been fell off had he kept making soul beats...hell, look how different 808's was and that grew on people over time

roc boy jada · May 28, 2014

I don't think I'd be a fan of Ye at this point if he had gone the route of trying to remake what everyone initially fell in love with. :lol

Yeezus was dope. :hat

Just read this yesterday. Jack White said Kanye reached out to him for a possible collaboration on Yeezus.

White calls Daft Punk "amazing" and reveals he worked on several unfinished tracks with Jay Z ("I'm not sure he liked them"). Kanye West also asked him to collaborate on Yeezus, but never followed up — which bummed White out because he was so blown away by the MC's arena tour last year. "That might have been the greatest show I've seen in my life," he says. "It was more punk, more in-your-face than anything I've seen."
