U played that in front of ur mom ???

though the lyrics, as bland they look at first, are actually telling a whole story

@@pjetrs yes exactly

@@pjetrs Kanye is a lyrical genius in disguise

blood on the leaves and new slaves are some of Kanye's best lyrics tho what u saying?

bro the album is literally a story, also new slaves is one of his best lyrical songs

Facts !

I come back to this every once in a while with my best headphones and listen to that on full volume. It's goosebumps every time

That was surprisingly pleasant to listen to 😅

Fuck no I wasn’t prepared at all

we need to make it a collective goal to get kanye to watch this

Kanye watches every video about him no doubt

greatest moment in music history

Franks *too high again* 💫

New slaves - blood on the leaves might be my favorite 4 song run in his discography

@@Giga489 On Sight - Bound 2 might be my favourite run in music history.

The sample is Gyöngyhajú lány (1969). It’s from a Hungarian rock song. Worth checking out.

It’s like that old Kobe and Kanye commercial. HOW MUCH MORE MAXIMAL CAN MY MINIMALIST GET?” “More”

Exactly how Lou Reed described it

Ha ha! Well, it's hit and miss. I can understand why noone else does it!

I felt my soul leave my body

FR. I wish Kanye could see this!

It was euphoric man absolute insanity

Bro that solo fit in soooooo good!

Kanye needs to get him to the ranch!

I was telling my brother yesterday how “singing well isn’t impressive to me anymore”. Autotune and other effects have allowed for so much vocal creativity, and Kanye is the king of using vocals effectively.

Exactly, Blood On The Leaves is my favourite song off Yeezus. And it’s clear that he can’t sing at all, but he’s putting everything into it and you can really feel the emotion in it. The autotune he uses on 808s especially really works to give it that electronic feel

@@zacharyhanson3914 I’d still say singing well is very impressive, but the quality of the song is not defined by the ability to sing. If you’re a good singer but a bad song writer, you’re not a great artist. That’s how I see it

True but he’s actually been improving significantly. Listen to ghost town live and you can see a huge improvement in his singing ability

Kanye really improved his voice in the last few years tho

We love you Kanye

he probably is, he watches fantano 😂

Best outro ever

@@Andrew-ji4oc Outro he stole from “Pearls In Her Hair”

@@prouced.9960 Daft Punk were the lead producers/co-writers of four songs from the record (On Sight, Black Skinhead, I Am a God, and Send it Up) and were the first people Kanye came to to shape the sound of the album.

Rick Rubin was also brought in at the last minute to pretty much salvage the project and make it more minimalistic. He was also the primary producer/songwriter of “Bound 2”. Between him and Daft Punk, it bears repeating that Kanye isn’t exactly a singular force, like many people want to believe.

@John Short True, early on he was far more singular, but his music was also a bit more conventional and certainly less elaborate. Once that album was such a success, he started having the clout and resources to pull people in to do the kind of heavy lifting he couldn’t really manage as a songwriter, and it’s just progressed further in that direction ever since. MBDTF especially is just a product of committee. He assembled dozens of producers and collaborators who contributed very heavily to that thing. He just happened to be the guy to put that team together, but it really wasn’t like he was orchestrating everything, and certainly not like he wrote and arranged all that stuff. “Devil in a New Dress” is maybe the best song on that album, and he didn’t produce that one at all. He only rapped over it. Then there’s Kid Cudi being a major hand in 808’s direction, Daft Punk and Rick Rubin on Yeezus, Chance the Rapper helping with the gospel sound of Pablo, and countless other producers, artists, and arrangers who have heavily shaped or straight up made entire songs for the dude, but the public gives him all the credit. It’s a total Steve Jobs facade of populist interpretation, putting one guy’s face and name on the work of many. Whenever he does attempt to be sole producer these days, it’s usually pretty weak or undercooked. The music is (mostly) good, and he’s a creative guy who gets things done, but he’s so not the Brian Wilson-esque musical genius everyone wants to think he is.

@@HQBacon fuck i didnt know lol thx for telling me

@@BareBandSubscription lmao, why discrediting kanye like that. Like he didnt produce all of the one of the best debuts album of all time, LR, GR, 808, DAYTONA, and more

@Yiannis Taliotis 2013 was probably the most in sync that Kanye has ever been if you know what im saying.. this was the most kanye kanye has ever been imo

@@tomijslv1648 I'm so upset I never got to see him tour this album. Some of his best concerts ever. This was PEAK ye

@@bobdylanlovr69 I think the same every day

And vice versa

Lmao

Its still a political message. Its a fuck you to all the rich, white majority institutions that he speaks against in this album

That line IS the political message though. Probably one of the most important on the album.

That IS the political message though

@@nottucks Never said it wasn't. Part of why I found the juxtaposition funny was that despite the overt vulgarity of that line, Kanye was at that moment actually doing exactly what TMNS claims he is doing.

Thanks bro

It's funny cuz it's a classic hilarious Kanye brand line but it still is topical and a serious message when you listen to it

Nooo way thats a fact ill never forget

Shit i wouldn't give up on my singing voice either if Michael fucking Jackson said he liked it

He was probably just being polite, knowing the story

He also has an amazing off-beat "laggy" flow on No More Parties in LA, where it sounds like he's catching up to the beat. It gives the song so much momentum and power.

@@FoddyFogHorn that’s like the best example of him using it can’t believe I didn’t think of that when I wrote the comment but yeah his verse is amazing because of that

Ha ha! Yes!!! Purely by chance. Well... the song felt like it needed a guitar. In the edit I realised that I was pretty much properly joining in with the song and I thought "bloody hell this was a weird, weird coincidence!!!".

Man, your solo was so perfect it could've made the cut on the album, it fits so well!

He already did

He already did

He mentioned Giorgio

I am a god and black skinhead were too

You'd think Daft Punk of all people could produce a beat that wasn't such hot ASS. Distorted, unmelodic, terrible ear rape.

It’s almost like that’s the point. Minus the terrible part.

@@keyboardking777 Lol you trippin hard. Once you relax and stop hating, you actually enjoy the music

Crazy how such a brash and obnoxious album sounds so beautiful at certain parts

First time I heard Dirty Sprite 2 by Future I did this and I hated it. Second time I just listened to it for what Future was sonically trying to deliver and it hit me. Learned my lesson. There are times to read lyrics and it’s not all the time.

It’s probably people are more used to industrial music now than they were in 2013, with Death Grips being big and Nine Inch Nails regaining their past popularity etc

@@mafiablokes yes i know. But back then people just saw it as messy and lazy, because industrial wasn’t that popular. I think this album helped a lot to industrial becoming more popular.

@@braianrodrige3581 Yeh totally. Funnily enough it was the first Kanye album I ever listened to and loved it, although I assumed all his music sounded like that for a while lol 😂

Always loved it 😁

@@elh7287 yes me too but i listened to it in 2018 for the first time so maybe it didn’t sounded so “weird” to me. I didn’t listened to kanye that much in 2013, but i remember the reviews haha

Music simps and Kanye haters despised this album when it came out, saying it was nothing but noise and braggadocio. There was simply no appreciation for the nuance involved or its success in creating a unique soundscape. Now that they've seen Yeezus change popular music in the exact way that was predicted, nobody seems to want to bring up just how much they hated it back then. lol

r they still fan bro and they did like donda

@@kategutib2772 A lot of mixed opinions. Some messed with specific albums heavy, while others thought those albums were meh. I personally as a musician tend to end up liking more of the recent Ye music as opposed to someone who just likes rap/ hip hop. If an instrument or chord progression in a song catches my ear, I will more than likely end up liking it 💀

@@CaliKiid714 cool bro thanks for sharing
