    I feel bad for Kanye

    He was so sincere when he first came in the game – talking shit to G.W.Bush, speaking out against the culture’s materialistic attitude, looking out for the best underground artists in the game – dude was NEVER humble, but he used to obviously care about the people he was making the music for

    I think it all changed when he left his fiance, who stuck with him through that accident and all. He had maaad songs about her back in the day. Kept him human as an artist. Then he left her, and the whole Amber Rose shit went down. He was prolly like, ‘Fuck it, Ima play the game of thrones to the top of this shit’ – and then went on to find Kim

    Now he’s just the center of a hip-hop world that has lost all real meaning

    I feel bad for Kanye…
    lol he gets to stick it in the most sought after phat ass in the whole world nightly, and has millions of dollars, rich and famous friends, and a giant fanbase
    what a life

  4. StarFox64 says:

    i feel like he’s just giving this release to j.cole…

  5. The Wise says:

    I really dont see where this album is goin..seems like its gonna e a a straight up- tempo album..always fucke with ye but this isnt looking promising

  6. Facts says:

    Wack sauce

    I hope this is not going to be on the Hip Hop charts because it does not belong to this culture

    Just because he used to be a rapper once upon a time doesn’t mean he belongs to the culture forever

    Especially since he wears his woman’s clothes

  7. Obama says:

    Making “shit from my gut”?!?! Calling your album a “product”?!?! This dude lost his mojo… Replaced it with nothing but ego…

  8. Faded says:

    Mac Millers album way hotter then this and Coles album, damn man

    “West is my slave name, Yeezus is my god name”

    Fell Off PoP hoe fuk kanye to the gay

  11. gonna be straight up, think i’m losin all hope for this album. shit i was even stoked after hearin “new slaves” and “black skinhead” but after listening to more than half the album on youtube (from people recording at the listening session lol) i’m kind of let down. sounds like most of it isn’t really lyrical at all, and i’m not even hatin on the electronic dance-tempo beats but i didn’t find any real emcee value in the tracks. some parts of some verses he flows kinda cool but i found an overall lack of the substance and content we’ve come to know from previous kanye albums. if he’s gonna do this experimental stuff, he should at least keep his flow-game polished so the beats aren’t the most interesting part of the album. however, i’ll reserve full opinion until i can hear the final product. and as a fan i’m still excited to hear a new ye album. i’m just sayin, you can venture into experimental artist territory and still be heavily lyrical (common electric circus is a good example)

  12. Freud says:

    Wow for someone who wrote MBDTF it sounds like Yeezy has written another classic. People hating on this obviously have very poor taste in music.

  13. Jay says:

    Come out the cloest ye we know you battling with it thats why you always mad..

  14. Leo says:

    Too many people are caught up on the title of his genre. Music is music. Not everything he makes is going to try to be lyrical. He’s pushed the boundaries with every album and hasn’t let us down yet, how can you still question his artistic abilities?

  15. The Truth says:

    LOL @ all the hate in this comment section. i think everytime kanye is about to drop something, he gets doubted like crazy. but he always ends up delivering. hate if you want, but just know that this guy is your favorite rappers favorite rapper. he’s a living legend.

  16. Push For Life says:

    Bound is about to be a Sumemr banger!!! that’s all I’m going to say Yeezy Season has returned.

  17. Tev Milli says:

    Damn a lot of niggas who lost hope in Ye….
    Shame….
    That’s all I have 2 say

  18. K.dot says:

    Yeezus is going to end up being great just like Kanye past albums. Some one said Mac Miller album is better than J.Cole, no Mac album is no where close to Born Sinner in fact they are totally different
    Albums. Mac features carry all the weight on his album. If you don’t like J.Cole musc fine but don’t sit there and lie.

  19. Del says:

    fuck all the dumb shit, I can’t wait to hear it

  24. DoinTooMuch says:

    SMH These J Cole stans need to GTFO. Since when can you not be a fan of both artists? Yall kill me with that shit. Just be glad we gettin so much dope music at once. Stop pickin sides, that’s hoe shit. And don’t call a album garbage when you haven’t even heard one full CDQ song. lmao

  25. Carlos Reyos says:

    Check out HazeMunny’s latest video Get Em now.

  26. the One says:

    This album will be 100% against the system! Bringing it back to public enemy days!

  27. As Real As It Gets says:

    Yae will forever be a step ahead of the game cause he’s always open to working with other producers which means he’ll never run out of ideas which means the music will always remain fresh. But why am I wasting my breath. Half you niggas who spoke negatively about this are disgruntled rappers and producers still tryna make it. Good luck!!

  28. Vins says:

    ”I swear jay z been callin him self hova for years now lol?… but everyones hyped on yeezus?”

    Never even thought about it, but that is so true lol

  30. i wasn’t trying to come off as a hater, i was just giving some constructive observations as a fan based on what we’ve heard so far. obviously if i wasn’t excited about this record i wouldn’t have taken the time to listen to shitty cam recordings of the songs on youtube haha. still looking forward to hearing the final work. peace and love
