Reviews (page 7 of 8)
The album is alright. The beats are good. The lyrics and rapping are unremarkable. It is better than a 2, but not really a 3. I'll round down
I guess it's fine as far as rap goes.
Very angry guy A lot about sex and money Nice beats
Save for a few hits, pretty mid kanye album imo Bound 2
Non mi piace l'hip hop e non è certo un disco Kanye West che mi farà cambiare idea. Tuttavia alcuni pezzi erano orecchiabili, ma il "cantato" (in mancanza di altri termini) rovina tutto. Due stelle di incoraggiamento.
I dislike his bragadociousness and misogyny, but he has good samples and flow. I want to either like this more or hate it, but I'm honestly struggling to do either with much emotion.
1/10, 10%
Dåååligt. Sättet Kanye skriver låtarna på denna skiva känns väldigt lamt jämfört med tidigare skivor, lyricsen suger och själva ljuden är i allmänhet ganska tråkiga. Folk talar om att denna skiva låter futuristisk och väldigt annorlunda, men själva ljuden är oftast inte särskilt spännande, varierade, har ganska tråkig konsistens jämfört med bra musik i alla stilar.. Dessa problem hjälps inte av att alla låtar utom Bound 2 tappar sin drive halvvägs igenom. Vet ni vad som är ett bra album? Atomizer av Big Black.
There is a school of people who think anything Kanye does deserves attention. I never attended such a school.
Not an amazing album.
Hur otroligt det än kan låta, så har jag sett karln live. Än mer otroligt, så är det inte katastrofalt dåligt. Tro nu inte att jag gillar det här men några låtar har ju någon form av melodi vilket gör att han undviker lägsta betyg.
After the success of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy KW decided to piss off his fans by putting out an intentionally abrasive and off-putting album. He's quoted as "I got to fuck shit up" and "I'm gonna take my ball home". There's no doubt that this egotistic narcissist is brilliant, but does the emperor have no clothes? He's so full of contempt for his fans that it's really hard to like this guy. This album is seriously over-produced, with literally 4-8 producers on EACH song. I view this album like how I view his forays into fashion where he intentionally puts out really fugly clothing and sells it at exorbitant prices to his gullible fans. I'm not gonna bite.
Impressive beats and production. What really drags down the album is Kanye West. I never really liked his style of rapping and I find Kanye uneven. Sometimes he's great but other times I think there's so many better rappers than Kanye and that's even when ignoring his personality. I think I'm sticking to other hip-hop artists instead of Kanye as I've never found anything he made that's interesting.
The lyrics are a bit much, though I did enjoy the beats and sampling.
Not a fan.
I enjoyed the beats more than the lyrics. Strange Fruit was an odd choice of sample. There's a sense of drama that builds up. This may have been amplified as I listened to the album whilst a workman was drilling up the road outside. The Daft Punk contribution added a little humour. I couldn't hear Rik Rubin's efforts.
Yeah nah.
Don’t like it sorry. This kind of aggressive hip hop, never my cup of tea
There were a couple of songs here which I knew from being huge, and they were ok. But otherwise I didn’t enjoy this.
he's always been mentally ill and a mediocre artist on his best days
A hip-hop album that seems to want to be an industrial or noise rock album. The bombastic rhymes are well matched by the bombastic samples and the “more is more” production choices, sound effects and beats. Its popularity is what it is, one supposes, but this fails to land for me.
Some very nice and creative sounds in there, but then the singing starts and I just can't stand hip-hop (sorry).
I thought I'd like this more, but other than blackskinhead which was cool and the bound 2 hook which was fun I really couldn't get around it and was waiting for the album to end. 3/10
a while back I had to google why people love him - it actually made me appreciate his music talent. but i can't get myself to support the art of a character like his.
terrible lyrics, raunchy. sounds behind were good.
First Kanye album I've listened to... Music = 5 stars Kanye = makes me hate rap. Insufferable. 0 stars
It’s hard to separate Kanye’s music from his batsh*t behavior to give a fair evaluation. Even when you succeed, you can’t help but feel this album is wildly anti-women and there is much less irony to I Am A God than we’d like to believe.
Just not interested anymore. Someone has forgotten about beats and melody and having a sense of humour
Not my cup of tea... Entertaining but not much else.
Hi: On Sight, I Am A God, Hold My Liquor Lo: I'm In It, Blood On The Leaves Kanye experiments with a variety of musical textures, which the variety of are truly the highlight of this album. Lyrically, West also makes some pointed social commentary (New Slaves, Hold My Liquor), through some well-crafted rhymes and verses that paint a vivid word picture. A running theme throughout is the \"oh wait i\" gag where Kanye would reflect on the previous verse and try to change the narrative, which got old quick. Any musical prowess displayed is ruined by use of autotuned vocals, an aesthetic choice that just grates on my nerves. And at the end of the day, Kanye just sounds like an edgelord, interspersing overly offensive & racist lyrics that distract and do a disservice to the whole message. 2 stars.
I just don't care man. Really don't.
Not as good as the others. 2/5
Not a big fan of Kanye, album was meh
Nope
Nie moja bajka
I just don't see the appeal. Really not a fan of the autotune stuff. 2 stars.
I refuse to listen to Kanye
I refuse to listen to this Nazi
I can't, I won't.
This has been one hell of a week for me on this generator. Earlier in the week, I had an album credited to an objectively bad person, and now here we are again, in the same dilemma. Again, my question remains, do we separate the art from the artist? Better yet, does it matter this time around in regards to my rating? The artist(Nazi) in question is still alive, and still financially benefits from us, the people, listening to his music. I'll let you all fight about that one. Hell, even the title of this album reeks of arrogance, and narcissism. Really, that argument doesn't matter much anyway because this album is a pile of dogshit even if we disregard the artist who created it(I know Lou Reed was a legend, but his taste in albums is questionable at times). According to the Wikipedia page, I'm relieved that I'm finished with his albums in this generator(if any of you submitted one of his albums in the generator, shame on you). Favorite Track: "Bound 2".
of the various rap albums I have listened to this is not bad. Still don't like the genre, a solid 1 star
A tad too vulgar for me
Ug. What a bunch of horrid shit.
That's a no for me dawg.
Eat shit Kanye
Baustelle, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Den rechten Pisser höre ich nicht.
Not for me 1/5
hay que admitir, que este disco no tiene nada maravilloso y solo es aire inflado por hombres con superioridad moral que creen saber mucho de arte.
I'm still not sure how to feel about Kanye's good albums. I haven't listened to them since the Nazi controversy and all those other stunts. However, it is easy to give this album just one star, mainly for non-musical reasons.
Industrial hip hop and experimental rap built from abrasive synths, distorted samples, pounding drums, and confrontational vocals feels like being trapped inside a malfunctioning nightclub where every sound is deliberately designed to make you uncomfortable. The album is bold, chaotic, and undeniably distinctive, but its aggression often feels more exhausting than exciting to me. I can appreciate the willingness to strip away polish and embrace ugliness, yet the constant sonic assault makes it difficult for me to actually enjoy.
Yeah, this was bad. 1/5
No thanks, not even interested in pirating this
Ye? more like nah.
jj i'd rather hear serge gainsbourg
I dutifully listened to this from beginning to end, probably at least partially in response to my project partner's absolutely incredible output in the past few days. I've heard it said that three kids is the easiest number to parent, but this is ridiculous (and provides me regular delightful happy moments when i get to see a new red number next my notifications every time I open this website). One thing about kanye you can't deny: he never really hid the kind of person that he is. So tainted with excrement that there honestly isn't really much this album can do to eliminate the odour.
I hated Kanye before it was cool
Call me crazy but I have a no-Nazi policy
Fuck Yeezus. Oh no, I did a blasphemy.
1 star (but also 5)
I found this album to be very aggressive and not palletteable.
In a nutshell: hold my drink. "For me as Kanye West, I got to fuck shit up... I'm going to take music and try to make it three dimensional... I'm not here to make easy listening, easily programmable music." Kanye West (NME, September 23rd 2013) I have raised this argument in some reviews: "Can you separate the art from the artist?" IMHO, there are three answers to this: "yes", "no" and "not anymore". Kanye is a great example of the "not anymore" argument. In context with his albums in the generator, I could say yes in retrospect for The College Dropout. Yes, but only just for MBDTF (but I'm due to revisit this album, so opinion subject to change). For Yeezus, it's a confident NO. Greg Kot from the Chicago Tribune summed it up perfectly. It's "hostile, abrasive and intentionally off-putting". Kanye West went from a producer/solo artist with ambition and swagger to a sanctimonious and self indulgent twat whose music emphasises his shortcomings. Oh how the mighty fall... Overall: 1/10 (1 star)
Why does it take at least a dozen people to write a song? And how do they mistake the Spartans for Romans’. And why can’t they come up with lyrics anyone would let their kids heat? And why can’t they write songs that aren’t misogynistic or blasphemous? 159 albums down and I have a new worst song: “I’m In It” is THE WORST song I’ve heard in the last 3 months. Period. Full stop. Oh, yeah: the album cover art sucks. 1.star
I decided I'm no longer going to listen to records by problematic artists, and will replace them instead with recently released albums from female artists. The 1/5 rating is for Ye, and below is my review for today's album. ~~~ Kelela - new avatar 4/5 I really enjoyed listening to this album. There is perhaps a little bit too much happening in the first track, which made it difficult for me to dive into the record. I think I preferred the following tracks, where the rhythm and melodies settle down a bit. Great discovery overall, I will definitely listen to it again! Favorite tracks : point blank, outta time, the bridge ~~~
Honestly just didn't want to stream this
I tried, I really did. This sounded interesting on paper - experimental electronica with input from Daft Punk should be just my thing and releasing it on an unlabelled cd with a clear case is a nice touch. However it was less than a minute before the first “bitch” and “hoe” which was an immediate nope from me. Fuck that guy.
In five years, "New Slaves" transmuted into "slavery was a choice". Hard to separate the art from the artist.
That's blasphemous!
i’m not giving a nazi money. did not listen.
The ego of Kanye is almost unbelievable, so I was already primed to dislike this from his public persona. Turns out this narcissism comes through all the songs from the lyrics to the titles (I am a God - really???). He samples some really good (and surprising) stuff - Omega and King Crimson! Some of the least bad songs are I am a God, Guilt Trip, and Bound 2.
Ye - naw - fuck this nazi arsehole
Très grand petit con.
I have very little patience for Kanye. I'll admit the production on this is quite good, but each time his voice came in, I was out.
Curse you 1001 Generator ... You Giveth (with the Slits) then you Taketh away (with Conway West)
Nope.
Gross
No. When you're as big as Kanye and you use your platform for this? No.
You fucking kidding me? Kanye West can burn in hell. Fuck off and die, bitch. You will receive no streaming royalties from me.
What a dickhead.
In many ways better than gangster rap. Better use of samples, more variety, some interesting takes on genres (most notably the afrobeat sample on Black Skinhead). But I can’t get away from firstly his obvious insane god complex, the fucking dreadful and continuous use of auto-tune throughout the album and the excessive attempts to shock with the language and tone of the lyrics. I toyed with a 2, but only briefly. Hated it.
So I decided a long time ago when I got a Kanye album I wouldn’t listen to it. There’s no way I can without actually funding a fucking nutjob Nazi. This after more than 750 albums is my first one which is crazy since I have at least 2 others. I do remember listening to it when it was released. It was peak Kanye is a genius time. I remember thinking this album fucking sucked. And that he was overrated at best, and a fucking talentless hack at worst. Bound 2 is the only track I have any fondness for and that’s because it kinda sucks in a way I dig. Any I’m going to listen to an album that is not on this list or at time of writing the user list but I’ve wanted to listen to for a while. I’ve tried listening to Geordie Greep’s The New Sound and I always stop after track one. The problem is I love the first song. The character he’s describing sucks so bad in a good way. But I’ve never gone farther. And so here we go. Really enjoy it. Inventive music about horrible scumbags, like YOU the listener. 4.5/5
1.5
First the Louvin Brothers and then Kanye West with "Yezzus"—it's like someone's trying to send me to hell. This MAGA-gangsta combo is really hard to stomach; for me, as someone who relies on immunosuppressants, it's simply unpalatable. Perhaps these two genres even have their place. I know nothing about the brothers themselves; what I do know about West is just disgusting. Oh hell, there are the titles of his songs: "Black Skinhead," "I Am A God"... I really don't know what the point is. The music is very electronic, but not really good. I always feel sick when I read the production list on albums like this—unbelievable. So, to make it perfectly clear in the end, I don't like the album, and I see no reason why it should be on any "best of" list.
I think I’ve given Kanye enough of my attention in this life.
This guy is so unbearably self-centred that it's hard to take anything he does seriously. But even when trying to leave my prejudgement at the door, it's just unpleasant to listen to. His rapping style has a kind of aggression that feels extremely performative, the lyrics are imbecilic, the repurposing of old civil rights slogans to be about sex is in extremely poor taste. Beyond this the sound is abrasive - reading the Wikipedia page for the album it seems that he got it into his head that making something that sounds bad on purpose had artistic merit??? Also this album has like 7 producers, how did nobody tell him it was shit?
Didn’t listen but at one point I thought this was incredible. The minimalist production performed in a maximalist style was striking, nothing else sounded like this. However, just like Kanye this has aged horribly. Fuck Nazis. Stop listening to Kanye and stop falling over yourself to accept his transparent “apologies” he wheels out whenever he has new music to promote.
This is so shitty I was wishing it had been another Kid Rock album.
nazi
Not my music, sry.
It's not up there with his, let's say, Education Trilogy (College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation), but highly listenable with smooth beats and some hooks that will grip you and not let go. He's still a fucking Black Nazi cunt though.
As insufferable as he is
Ei yhtään mun juttua.
Levy on lähinnä kaikennäkösistä ränkingeistä tuttu, musiikki bängää ja toimii hyvin. Ite artisti on vaan sen verta pelle jätkä, että menee automaattisesti ykköseks.
It has taken 175 albums but I've finally encountered one that I won't be listening to. I have absolutely no interest in supporting this Nazi loser.
Even if I thought this weren’t trash you can’t separate the art from the artist anyways
Just no
Fuck this guy.
I refuse to listen to music by a strongly suspected sexual predator, a peddler of absurd conspiracy theories, an anti-Semite, a racist and an admirer of Hitler, who would actually make money from it.
Immediate no.
Dude is human garbage. I'm nearly 350 albums in and finally found one I will skip. I'll listen to Napalm Death 100 more times before I listen to KW.
This is certainly not my jam. I don’t enjoy the language and vulgarity. Another album that I question being on this list.
I don’t understand why people think this fool is some sort of artist or special in any way. All he talks about is his dick and how many chicks he’s banged or going to bang or wants to bang. One track mind and I’m actually mad I had to listen to this AND I’m mad that people think this is worth spending any time paying attention to or worth anything. Pathetic.
trash
Nah. Musically, probably ranks higher.
Nope. 1
I refuse to listen to even a single second of an album made by a Nazi.
Even diep inademen, neus dichtknijpen en dit veertig minuten uitzitten. Weer vier krachttermen in de eerste tien seconden. Muzikaal klinkt het bij vlagen soort-van interessant, maar het is nogal vervelend dat er zo'n gast doorheen zit te wauwelen met wat zijn zieke geest nodig vindt zoal aan onderwerpen aan de orde te stellen. Ik ben d'r al snel weer klaar mee. Overigens, wel grappig bedacht om dit op de markt te brengen als een kale cd zonder hoesje, maar merkwaardig dat er vervolgens dertien mensen worden opgevoerd als verantwoordelijk voor het 'artwork', inclusief de artiest zelve. Maar goed, ik ga weer door met m'n leven.
Nazi
A horrible person makes horrible music. Also the lyrics are comically stupid. The only time this guy is capable of self-reflection is when he is standing in front of a mirror. That this is considered "work of a genius" says a lot in which world we live today. quite depressing...
Yawn more cock-rap
I'd rather scoop my eyes out with a rusty spoon
Nazi rappers fuck off. Too bad as some of these beats are great. Thanks for dragging down my hip hop scores, asshole.
Kuraa! ⭐️
Man this was almost completely unbearable outside of Hold my Liquor and the latter half of new slaves. I still haven’t listened to his earlier stuff outside of dark twisted fantasy, so hopefully that stuff is better because i’m failing to see why he’s popular from this.
This is trash. The beats/"music" is giving me seizures, and his rapping isn't even that good. Playlisted: Hold My Liquor.
Oh great this idiot again. Never liked him and most likely never will. I dunno this is unlistenable, 0 stars.
Wow, the ramblings of a narcissist that is like listening to a pub bore flow over well produced beats. Just shit
I have looked the other way before in separating the artist from the art. I don’t feel I can do this here. I couldn’t bring myself to listen to this.
I tried....I really did. Must be getting old but all this misogyny, racism, egoism, and terrible rhyming is just not appealing at all.
Nah I'm not listening to this
Nah.
I try as best as I can to be diplomatic when it comes Kanye. When it comes to him as a human he's a egotistical megalomaniac. On the music side I can't deny he's produced some great tracks over his career. I thought this album started off quite well with On Sight and even Black Skinhead, however I Am God started and suddenly the megalomania was bursting out at the seams. I get rappers love to brag about their statuses but soldiering through this until Blood on the Leaves, I felt like I was being tied to a chair being forced to indulge in the biggest messiah complex in hip hop. Great producer but yeah the wheels fell off greatly on this.
I like the album but ugh
Did not listen out of protest and giving 1 star to drag down rating.
Trying to separate the art from the artist because he is such a giant piece of shit. I know that he is well regarded as a producer and I agree he does build unique samples. But then he proceeds to do nothing with them other than to just to repeat them over and over and rap nonsense. And when I say over and over, it gets so ridiculously repetitive that it drives me insane. There is no variation.
No nazi.
Junk
I don't feel like listening to anything from that black Nazi. He doesn't make music, and I don't want to hear his slogans and political rants. 1/5
I know that rock music is full of misogyny, but it’s so out in the open on this record plus I have a hard time not thinking of Kanye West as the Kanye West from the past four or five years I like the electronic music sections and I don’t in general mind the way this record sounds, but I’m tired of people bragging about wealth and I don’t really care if you slept with lots of girls
Didn’t want to give any $ or listens to this artist. Sampled a few 15-20 second clips to get the general vibe- I may have appreciated the electronic, sci-fi-influenced, mood if not for the histrionics of said artist. And I’m not referencing his bipolar although this also sounded immensely manic (“I am Jesus”).
Mysogynistic hateful shite. I lasted 120 seconds.
Like his other album I’ve listened to for this list, I like the music and samples well enough, but the lyrics are too egotistical and misogynistic for me. Also, and more importantly, he’s a terrible person.
Sorry, I cant listen to Nazis.
Not My kind and I don't like rap
Started to listen out of curiousity and didn't enjoy it - not worth continuing given the type of person he has become. I also didn't find the rap that appealing, perhaps spoilt by more complex rap from other rappers/bands.
Kanye är arg. Oklart varför. Det är också oklart varför jag ska lägga tid på detta elände. Beatsen är bombastiska och trista. Texterna är kassa. Visst finns är fina samplingar, men jag lyssnar hellre på originalen. I Kanyes händer blir det en trist soppa på rostig spik.
This album came out when I was in high school, and somehow I completely avoided it. And if this is what it's like to listen to Kanye West without nostalgia, then I'm really glad I listened to some of his older stuff when I was young, because this was roooooough. The mix is loud, noisier than musical. And as much as you could call it ahead of its time or some other cliche, it couldn't help but feel like it's trying way too hard to be. The samples didn't work for me like prior Kanye albums, and ultimately I think it really is one of the very few albums where I found myself desperately wanting to skip songs. Yikes.
Just awful
I didn't vibe with this at all. Kanye is a crazy egotistic person. This album just proves that he is mediocre.
Minus 3 stars for being a nazi
NOPE.
Kanye is a stupid narcissist no talent useless excuse for a musician
The tracks sound like a weapon, built by the first AI uprising, to induce schizophrenia in humans and the lyrics are the reflections of a deep and vengeful insecurity.
Refuse to listen to something made by such a vile human
hmmmm.... i have this on cd from when it came out so i can actually listen to it without giving him streams and give an honest review. this is just a bunch of noise... feel like this was his first album after completely losing his mind. black skinhead beat is so good tho. put my fist in her like a civil rights sign??? 😦 we need to not normalize ts he just said i be speaking swaghili 🥴 send it up beat is so nct
No not having it, anything of music interest is immediately lost by the absolute bullshit. I hope it’s ironic but bad feeling it isn’t. This shit stain is so famous, wtf is wrong with the human race. I genuinely feel sorryI heard this. 1 Star
Very difficult to listen to Kanye West objectively. Before I knew what a shithead he is, I liked a lot of what he did and thought he was a musical pioneer. Not this record though. Leaving aside my disdain for him, I found lyrics to be misogynistic, juvenile, and crass. The music wasn’t breaking much ground here either. His earlier records were worlds better. This one doesn’t deserve to be in this list.
I'm not a fan of this album
Not listening because it’s Kanye West #problematic
Great entertainer, trash music
Ooof, misogyny IMMEDIATELY. Fuck you!
not for me.
Did not listen to this bullshit
I didn’t like the Eminem album because it was juvenile, misogynistic, and gross but at least he was clever. This is hopefully one of the lamest set of lyrics I’ll ever hear, assuming I don’t have to listen to the albums that came after this.
It sounds great until this dog enters the studio and start spewing diarrhea everywhere. Daft Punk is awesome, they should hire a better raper (rapper? rapist?)
I will not give this pos even the tiniest fraction of a cent. Openly hating Jews, extolling Hitler, and selling swastika tshirts online in 2025 is beyond anything any of us should ever accept. Sorry - not separating the art and the artist on this one. Oh, but he did post a full page ad apology for his behavior just a few weeks ago. Interestingly timed a few weeks before an album release. Nope.
What a cunt.
Not good.
Sorry I just can't listen to Kanye after all of the nazi shit. I know he apologized, but I am still waiting to see if it is genuine and if he carries through with it and has an actual change of heart. Low 1.
Hell freaking NO. Kanye sucks. No explanation is needed. This project has really reached a low point the past few weeks. It’s giving nothing. 0/5
Another Kanye album two days later. Bloody hell.
My reaction before listening is concern. After, ew
I would give this a 0 if I could.
As with most of the vulgar, abrasive hip-hop I’ve had the displeasure of listening to throughout this project, this makes me want to lay on the rails and wait for the “L” to finish me off.
Fuck Kanye, I’m not listening to this
not even gonna listen to this bc of that anti semitic psychotic asshole ❤️
This was the album I stopped listening to Kanye on, it just wasn't good and I couldn't continue to support this idiot, there are like 2 good songs and that's it! Waste of time lol
#22/1001 🇺🇸💩 Misoginistic, narcistic and delibarately uncommercial. Not a lot to enjoy here. Best track: Hold my Liquor. I won't be sad if i never hear it again.
Awful. Minus 5 stars
Nostalgic about "Black Skinhead" but refuse to support Kanye.
Nope, fuck off Kanye. I don’t care how much of a genius you supposedly are, I’m not rewarding your actions. All Kanye albums on this list are a 1 for me.
fuck this loser. Not listening.
This is the sort of music one makes when all they can think of is their crotch. Grade-A trash.
La dualité de cette liste, on est vraiment tombé bas. C’est vraiment Shitpost: L’album, vraiment très fidèle à l’image de son créateur, le roi des trolls antisémite en personne. C’est fou à quel point toutes les tracks sont imprégnées d’étrons musicaux, tous plus nauséabondes l’une que l’autre. J’ai pas réussi à en finir une au complet, il me tape trop sur les nerfs, je devais skip frénétiquement en pensant très fort « TA GUEULE TA GUEULE TA GUEULE ». Ça mérite amplement un 1 étoile, et j’espère sincèrement que c’est la dernière fois que j’en donne une.
Hard no.
Yeah, I don't care for music made by a Nazi.
In most cases I can separate the artist from the art, this is not one of them. I will listen to a few albums that a friend told me regardless of how I feel, to hear them. This is not one of them.
Boooo
On Sight 2.3 Black Skinhead 2 I Am a God 1.7 New Slaves 1.8 Hold My Liquor 1.7 I'm in It 0.7 Blood on the Leaves 1 Guilt Trip 1 Send It Up 1.2 Bound 2 1.4 Score: 1.48
fuck off
This is hilarious. Him being considered a respected musician at one time is hysterical.
1/5
Way too much annoying autotune
A collection of filth, mixed with noise, and laced with the greatest hypocrisy of world history. What a farce.
Is this whole album about his dick? Yawn.
I don't listen to a lot of rap (especially Kanye) so this was not my favorite! Cool samples but I didn't like how they repeated throughout the entire songs Bound 2 is a song I have definitely heard before and I did like that one
Yeah, no. Not hearing this, sorry
Rubbish
Nazi
Will not listen. This guy's a nazi.
Do I have to? As always with Kanye, the production is good but the bars are god awful.
Let's start with the positive bits. I genuinely like the synth riffs and many of the backing parts. Although having read about it they make a big deal about how these are really aggressive and anything vaguely tuneful or nice was dumped for more edgy sounds. Well, that is rubbish. There isn't really anything edgy here and suggests to me that Kanye and his crew aren't actually that wide ranging in their musical influences. Next, I think he has a good rhythm and flow, he's clearly figured out how to get the best out of his voice. Right. Onto the crux of the matter. Kanye can piss off. So much of this album is him playing the victim, lording over everyone telling us how bad we are cos of racism. Obviously this is a valid point, but when every other line from him is laced with pure misogynism any preaching he tries to do just falls flat. I'm totally fed up of hip hop artists decrying everyone else for persecuting them while at exactly the same time openly saying things that make 80s glam rock band sound like feminists. It's pathetic. You can top this review off by pointing out Kanye's Nazi affiliations, but it doesn't seem that much of a jump from what I'm listening to. Look, I might be missing the point, I'm not in a minority, I haven't experienced the racism that is prevalent, especially it seems, in America... But I also know not to be an absolute shit to women. I was gonna put 2 cos of the music being good... But I'm just fed up of this whole approach and our if everyone Kanye deserves the bigger rebuke. So 1 it is.
Blip båt Yeezys det er ikk’ godt Kanye har ramt Clubben Men jeg vil på pubben Og høre noget fed tråd For det her album, det sender mig sgu i gråd Kanye har fået storhedsvanvid Efter 808 giver jeg for ham ikk’ en skid
I really cranked up the volume and tried to immerse myself completely to try and separate my personal bias.. This is just terrible, he uses the worst of every genre, embarrassing use of vocal modulator, weak rhymes and turbulent, almost non-existent flow.
👎🏻
Rhyming "Benz" with "parkinsons." Classy. On sight has a garbage melody, too. Black Skinhead has a nice beat, but is totally unrelatable. This album is like the full crazy terrible parts of College Dropout without the relatibility. Kanye's ego is out of control. College dropout had redeeming features beyond the melodies, Yeezus does not. Yeah fuck this album.
Pfffffff
Zero
Wasted time. 1/5.
It's difficult to listen to.
I will not separate art from this artist, or give him my fractions of a penny for streaming his music.
I'm not a lyrics person. They sure do get in the way
Nah.
Det er her jeg detter av Kanye-lasset. 3 låter inn og det blir for avant-garde og det er tydelig at kanye har mista det allerede.. ikke min smak i det hele tatt. Gammal kanye funker fjell men dette blir for spess.
Even before he went of the rails and needed serious help from a mental healt professional (feels obvious that this man is delusional and not fit to even spend a second on social media) he was praised for his production skills, so does it hold up... nope. He has a lot of help from very famous producers and his sampling can be random and break the tone. his rap is your average rap but a bit angrier, so nothing special. Last track made me wanna listen to the way better song by Sigma that sampled some of the bits. Overall, Overhyped. Get this guy to a therapist and stop giving him a microphone and a twitter account.
"If Kanye West was a horse, he'd have been put down by now" That was my attitude going into this album, and I was totally prepared to give it 1*. That said, the production of this album really picks up in the latter half, and there's some really good instrumentation and features throughout. With all of that in mind, Yeesuz gets 1 beautiful star, one more than it deserves. Having Justin Vernon do his thing over some real fucking cool electric guitar solos only to interrupt it by dribbling like a brain-dead fuckwit is a crime I cannot forgive. Fuck you Kanye, eat shit.
Can remember being quite impressed by previous missives by Kanye, so I looked back to check them out. And yes I was sort of impressed by them , impressed enough to award both of them a 2! it's just a shame that this load of twaddle didn't reach those dizzying heights. no redeeming features 1.
That was a little insight into the world of Kanye. Mad, egotistical, angry and rude.
On a positive note, I did find the arrangements of many of the songs intriguing and could appreciate the Punk/ Industrial Rap moniker given to this record. But there were many moments of things becoming jarring, such as the big single 'Bound 2', horrible. The other positive thing was the overt usage of auto tune, it was not subtle and probably used as a dig at other artists who feel they have to use it? I don't know. I shall end my list of positives there. Moving on to the lyrically side of things, for once I wss in a posttion to concentrate on them. I wished I hadn't. I just do not understand why someone feels the need to write such vile diatribe. The level of misogyny is breathtaking. I do wonder what his listeners choose to take away from an album such as this, especially if you are female. It does make me wonder about the the effect of the normalisation of such behaviours discussed on this record has on his young and impressionable fans, it must skew their worldview in some way. It must have some sort of effect, especially as in the news, our government is seeking to make non-fatal strangulation in porn illegal, which is just another form.of misogyny seeping into everyday life for the younger generations. Maybe to old Jeezy it is all just a joke, one I just don't get. It is possible he is a really nice bloke just making stuff to shock, but I'm not sure judging by what I've read and seen in the media over the years. Oh well, I may just be getting old and these behavours are becoming normal, sorry ladies. Stand up for yourselves and strangle the bastard back or something.... Move along to the next album please.
Can I give this negative stars? Kanye is an antisemitic whack job.
Fuck Kanye's stupid Nazi ass. Not giving him the Spotify revenue by listening to this.
Kanye... gross
Fucking terrible. Whichever idiot told him he was talented has a lot to answer for. If you gave me the choice between listening to this again and never listening to any music ever again, it would comfortably be the latter. I didn't expect much but bloody hell. Deserves zero stars.
Did not listen, fuck this guy
Not a fan, sorry.
Absolute steaming turds
This is #day448 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… yet again, and, for the last time on this journey, since it's my third record of his already, fuck Kanye West. This is another case in point of breeding bad taste. This is a 1 out of 5. Looking forward to #day449.
Utter shite.
Fuck Kanye
Zero stars. I'm not even going to listen to this because I don't want his hate-filled ass to receive a dime from me and he doesn't deserve the Spotify listens.
Nope
Listened Before: N Nope. Won't listen to him. Added to library? N No songs added.
no
Misogynistic racist vulgar noises
It’s hard to separate the music from the man when it comes to Kanye. This album has interesting elements to it, including the production, which was kind of cool but halfway through Black Skinhead I’m realizing 1) his history completely messed up and 2) he’s a narcissist prick and has had to devolve into shock value to show his irrelevance in the modern rap world. So if I was using this album as an example of how rockstar‘s lifestyles become toxic and even potentially devolved in to madness, I could give this 5. But this is Kanye: fuck him.
Ehh… great production but Kanye was basically done at this point.
Refusing to separate the art from the artists in this case. Will not listen.
Hard to believe people actually paid to listen to this crap
God I loved this record when it came out, still hits hard. Grimey, aggressive synths over bare backing tracks, it still feels like a record from the future. Kanye is a nazi though, so 1 star
Straight ass
Pessimo nazista di merda
Nope!
fuck this guy
Trash. Fucking trash.
Uhhhh
Would give zero stars if could to the self proclaimed Nazi.
I never liked this album and continued to not like this album
Early Kanye was revolutionary. I refuse to listen to this crap though.
Can’t listen to Kanye anymore
I got 17 seconds into the album before I quit. I'm not going to waste my time trying to listen to this.
Just no.
An interesting mix of themes, varying between whining, bragging and ranting. It's runtime is 40 minutes but I got it down to less than 25. Awful
A wonderful experimental hip-hop record - I have fond memories of listening to this in college before his breakdown on TLOP tour. Since then, this music has become unlistenable because it's impossible to separate the art from the artist here. Yeezus more so than any other record is the impetus of Kanye's slide into mental health crisis and listening or rating would only further enable, so I'll boycott and rate a 1
Awful
Terrible
This was def when he went crazy. Couldn't get past Black Skinhead like wth is that.
Yeah, no. It started okay but it just sucked by the end and dragged. Constant reminder how I prefer old school hip hop and tuntablism and creative sampling.
complete shite.
Musically I didn’t hate it as much as I expected. But fuck Kenny.
Nazi I’m In It est horrible Blood On The Leaves aussi, pour d’autres raisons Send It Up aussi I Thought About Killing You aussi… for obvious reasons. C’est tout
Fuck Ye but this album also sucks
Again with this POS?!?!?!? Enough already. 0 starts.
Ajoittain kivan kuuloisia saundeja. Mutta eihän tätä voi kuunnella ilman että kuulee nämä itseään täynnä olevat linet. Nerona tätä tyyppiä musiikillisesti pidetään mutta parempaakin on kuultu. Kusipää!
this is just bad ?? i like the beat on the skinhead one tho
Ye definitely doesn't speak to me.
Not a big fan, has strong production and is unique but is self indulgent and not easy listening knowing who Kanye is now 1.5/5
Musik gibt mir nichts und der Typ ringt mir nicht ab aufwändig einen Zugang zu suchen…
Nope.
Listened to this trash and then washed my ears out with The College Dropout. This list has two Kanye albums, and neither are College Dropout or Graduation. That’s some bullshit.
Worst lyrics I have ever listened to. I had forgot about his use of autotune. And a pity to sample Nina Simone onto this mess... Only plus is that he got Daft Punk and Arca as producers on some tracks.
Yeah, I'm not going to listen to that all the way through. The music was inventive but then the narcissistic, sexist, homophobic ramblings over the top of it somewhat spoilt it.
Nope, not listening to Kanye.
Mist!
This is some of the most fucking idiotic 'art' I've ever forced myself to listen to. Pure shit. Makes me wish I could rate albums in the negative.
I liked 2 other Kanye albums on this list, but this one is shit.
Not my vortex of crazy
Kanye sucks
Yeezus is less an album and more an obnoxious sonic tantrum — the sound of Kanye locking himself in a room full of industrial screeches, distorted basslines, and zero accountability. It’s like he dared the world to stop him mid-meltdown, and nobody did. The album trades melody for machinery, soul for static, and coherence for chaos. Every track stomps around like it’s reinventing music, but all it really does is scream “LOOK AT ME” through a megaphone duct-taped to a blender. Lyrically, it’s a car crash of arrogance, sexual frustration, and half-baked outrage, delivered with the smugness of a man who thinks yelling about croissants makes him deep. Any moments that might be profound — like the sampling of Strange Fruit on “Blood on the Leaves” — are drowned in tone-deaf bravado and jarring production choices. Yeezus wants to be radical art, but it ends up as performance narcissism: loud, abrasive, and utterly convinced of its own genius, despite being one of the most unpleasant listening experiences in modern music.
Even though I can't stand West, I managed to get through this record. Heavily overproduced (just look at the track table listing the writers/producers), this is some artificial, soulless junk that centers on a sociopath and egomaniac. Never will I understand the hype.
Absolute crap. Some of the music/beats were good, but Ye can't sing, is a weak rapper, and is clearly a sociopath. I have no idea how he became popular. This is the crap that give rap a bad name
refuse to listen to a kanye album!
No please.
Sorry, couldn't even finish it. It was below mid
I do not listen to nazi music. Skipping this.
Fuck Kanye, only albums I don't even bother trying to stomach through. Separate the art from the artist until they become Nazis.....
FOUL.
ew
Will not be listening to this.
Nope. 1/5
Awful
I will not listen to him and his garbage. There should be an option for 0. He’s not worth the time it took me to write this.
Almost forgot about this guy. Tried listening and didn’t hear a thing.
Apparently Lou Reed is a big fan, but I’ve always hated Yeezys
# 510 : Yeezus I hate Rap. I hate him even more. But I listened to the whole thing and this really doesn't sound great for a hyped up "genius producer". Terrible lyrics too. Favourite Track : Black Skinhead Listened: 25/06/2025
1,1/5
Fuck Kanye West's nazi ass. When this album dropped, I was blown away. Definitely an early adopter, none of my friends liked this one and I remember trying to convince them how good it was. Of course by now folks have come around, but this album was not well-received by the fans at the time. The production was so left-field and raw; a stark contrast to the highly polished discography before it. I will say at the time I felt that the lyrics and rapping were starting to decline in quality. It felt like at this point in his career, he was truly drinking his own Kool-Aid and shut out any outside influence, to the detriment of the lyrical quality (a trend that would continue downwards through Life of Pablo, Ye, JiK, etc). I'm not going to listen to this again and give him any streaming revenue (fractions of pennies though they are), but going off my last listen to this thing (6+ years ago), this was a very good album and contains a lot of interesting, unique material.
Not a Kanye so I was not looking forward to this album. His earlier music I could tolerate, but once a came to this album, I was just waiting for it to be over. I think his music definitely changed after the loss of his mother as well as his life.
<<<<<<The Beatles Fuck this guy. I try to leave politics and scandal out of my reviews but Nazis will not be tolerated.
Made by a nazi, so hell no
Lawaaierige beats: check Misogyne songteksten: check Geschreeuw: check Typisch Kanye West album dus. Ik zou graag punten aftrekken omdat het een nazi is, maar ik kan geen negatieve punten geven op deze site. 0.0
Didn't listen. No residuals for nazis. Listened instead to a great album by Jewish rapper Action Bronson.
I listened, but this self-indulgent, arrogant, onanistic plonker really does not deserve any more of my time.
nope. next.
Black skinhead was foreshadowing, huh?
To repeat my review of The College Dropout: Eat shit, Ye.
Not giving that guy any stars
Nazi
Almost 500 albums into this project, and there have been albums pop up that I didn't want to listen to. Some of them ended up surprising me and I really liked them. Others justified my aversion. But I've always given them a chance. Until now. This is where I draw the line. This guy is a clown show, and his genre is one I just don't care for. Not gonna do it. Hard pass.
I just can't even
Didn't love Kanye before he was a Nazi, certainly don't like him any better now.
A long 40 mins of egotistical slop.
