Shots fux’n fired on this new Jay-Z project.
While Black TWiter is incessantly ranting about the album, the exec producer Samsung’s real gangsta move is the web TV properties they just acquired.
I don’t even have a cellphone, but U.O.E.N.O.
Get this joint before its gone…
I put together a few clips while listening to the Yeezus album. Shit had me hype and inspired. This is what I want to do. I mean, not just on this lo-fi level, but yeah, I wanna make movies.
The first clip uses scenes from Godzilla versus Gamera to complement the song ‘Hold My Liquor’ which features Chief Keef

The next clip was culled from the movie T’Shaka Zulu. The obvious sonic bed was ‘Black Skinheads’.

The final clip I produced was taken from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. KanYe becomes Darth Yeezius and destroys the Jedi temple and anyone who gets in his way on sight. ON SIGHTTTTT!

By now you have listened to the new KanYe West album. If you haven’t I really don’t want to talk to you on this drop so please don’t leave me a comment. As it is I don’t think I can talk about this album with most people since rap fans nowadays aren’t particularly versed in Black music.
The Yeezus album is a tour de force in Black music that has been technofied. Acid Blues. Has anyone ever used that moniker for a musical genre? But it’s not just Blues music on this album. There’s mad Funk going on in this composition. Of course Soul and Rock are getting burn on this disk.
The album is sequenced so that it shakes off the timid Hip-Hop heads early with the experimental soundscape. If you can make it to the end you get the rewards of Kid Cudi and Charlie Wilson’s stirring soulsanging. Most people won’t make it to that point tho’. You’ll be frightened by the frankness of Kanye’s promiscuous content.
My first listens to this album made me reopen my 808s and H3artbr38k files and it was stark to my ears how raw 808s really is. I still love that album but Yeezus is on another level. Another level of production. Another level of sonic sensibility. KanYe West is the GOAT. Hip-Hop is dead like the strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. Long live Hip-Hop.
