Did you hear that rumble earlier? it had been the sound of the web shaking as news tweeted across the planet that Kanye West’s sixth solo album “Yeezus” sprang a leak, simply four days before its official Gregorian calendar month eighteen unleash.
The anticipation for the album has been huge since West coyly tweeted the discharge date for the trouble last month. Fans expected one, however the rollout of “Yeezus” has been unorthodox, to mention the smallest amount. First, there was the screening of his “New Slaves” clip on choose buildings in cities everywhere the planet. The video was ne'er given to standard shops like YouTube or MTV. Then came his “SNL” showing, wherever he performed “New Slaves” and therefore the raucous “Black Skinheads.” and eventually, he debuted a slew of newbies last Sunday in ny at the Governors Ball pageant. Still, it wasn’t till in the week that Kanye did one thing common for the other creator with AN album on deck: he hosted a listening session. On Mon (June 10), West and his Def Jam record label invited peers and media to listen to what he’d spent months in Paris and l. a. recording.
Kanye: From 'Dropout' to 'Yeezus' | Kanye's twenty Biggest hoarding Hits
“Yeezus” could be a piece of many genres -- new wave, punk, rock, and in fact hip-hop. Those searching for vintage soul sounds or perhaps full-on raps from begin to end are going to be thrown many curves here. It’s AN album with various emotional layers in addition. There ar many lightsome moments, and cuts concerning love beside lust. But mostly, West is simply plain mad -- angry at naysayers, “The Man” censoring his art, and even at his own celeb standing.
But in spite of everything is alleged and done, will "Yeezus" live up to the hype? Is West, in fact, the Michael Jordan of music (as he claimed in a very recent ny Times article)? Here's our track-by-track analysis of the year's most aniticpated -- and what's going to without doubt be the foremost scrutizied -- hip-hop album of 2013.
1. On Sight
The album begins sort of a scene a incomplete downtown dance club, as if Kanye’s making an attempt to work out what frequency “Yeezus” can tune to. The beat -- that comes courtesy of French dance demigods bonkers Punk -- starts with fuzzy synths that flip solid to prance over the track. “Yeezy season’s approaching,” Kanye raps. “…The monster’s on the point of wake up once more.”
2. Black yobbo
Over tumbling, industrial-sounding drums (maybe the kind of massacre music they vie back throughout battles at Rome’s Colosseum), West tackles the perception of a adult male chemical analysis a Caucasian, spoken communication racist folks ar “gon’ return and kill King Kong.” He’s a savage on this song, of course -- dead set deading everything and anyone that isn’t “ready for action.” Kanye claims to be wiser than he’s ever been, that means those within the wrong ought to most likely watch their backs. “If I knew what i do know within the past,” he raps, “I would’ve been blacked out on your ass.”
3. I Am a God
Through shooting synths, squeals and mushed bass, Kanye revels all told the negativity he’s endured -- the hate received for everything from his fashion sense to whole of hip-hop -- and proclaims himself to be a god “until the day i buy stricken by lightning." The displeased screams towards finish create this one seesaw towards horrorcore. Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon pops in at the tail of this monster to haunt a little in addition.
4. New Slaves
Many ar already acquainted with this malicious cut from Kanye's “SNL” performance in might. The album version is simply as viscous. Kanye clowns anyone that’s additional sheep than shepherd. “You see there’s leaders and there’s followers,” he starts. “But I’d otherwise be a dick than a swallower.” unapologetic, as usual. “New Slaves” is basic on the assembly facet, primarily wishing on a soft bassline till a disorganized mackintosh truck of a synth drives through on the song's particularly aggressive conclusion. “Fuck you and your Hampton house,” Kanye spits, offensive officers in power positions filtering art concealment data from audiences in want of each. It drastically transforms into one thing emotional and visceral at the top, with West hopping on the voice-altering device Auto-Tune to sing. Frank Ocean helps shut the joint with many coos in addition.
5. Hold My Liquor
Justin Vernon opens this dizzy track that finds a drunk Kanye weaving into AN exes home for a few showing emotion reckless and scattered sex. “[The] pussy had Maine floating,” says West of the night. “Feel like Deepak Chopra.” There’s a healthy dose of Auto-Tune of here, too, as “Liquor” continues album's string of songs that feature many sonic twists and turns.
6. I’m In It
Here, Kanye mangles his voice and flips to beast mode whereas talking concerning the items he’s progressing to do to a girls in bed. “All i would like is nice and bitter sauce,” he says when, bearing on playing sexual perversion on AN Asian lady. That portion of the song is slow winding -- however all of a sharp, it turns into a dancehall romp. “That’s right, I’m in it,” West says repeatedly whereas AN island guest crows each few bars.
7. Blood on the Leaves
Sampling Semitic deity Simone’s “Strange Fruit,” “Leaves” opens softly with piano keys bouncing gently and Kanye making an attempt to shake some thoughts, wailful a few unsuccessful relationship. “I simply have to be compelled to clear my mind currently,” he sings. “It’s been athletics since the summer time.” Clearly, he fails at making an attempt to slow his mind down. each he and therefore the beat flip into a quivering rage. “We could’ve been someone,” he yelps. The raps that fill the last half ar cruelly aimed toward groupies, then spiral into Auto-Tuned moans. Seven songs in, and there’s still no sign of “traditional hip-hop” on “Yeezus.”
8. Guilt Trip
This is a quick thumper with Kanye all over again wanting back at a unsuccessful relationship. “This is that the time once my heart got shot down,” he recounts in his vocals, delivered as a hybrid of raps and singing.
9. Send It Up
Sirens wail from the beginning as Kanye preps to enter a celebration -- however not before a lady and her crew evoke him to urge them in. “’Can you get my Benz within the club,’” he retorts in wise-ass fashion. “’If not, treat your friends like my Benz: park they ass outside till the evening ends.’” popular music infects “Up” at the top in addition.
10. Bound 2
This one is for those starving for West’s emotional sound of past times. Sampling bull pine Twins and One’s “Bound,” Kanye confronts his “leave a fairly lady sad” name with girls. “One smart lady is value m bitches,” he says. Singer Charlie Wilson croons on the hook, effectively closing out West’s most venturous album to this point singing “there’s no going away this party with no one to like.”
