Like -- if we found out years later that Kanye paid off every major media outlet to give positive reviews for Yeezus, or his label did it to save face because it performed poorly for Kanye standards, I wouldn't be surprised. In fact; it would make more sense than what's actually going on.
Do these critics leave the house? Have they heard the reception to Bound 2 and the accompanying video? People are mocking that shit.
Do they know even a considerable amount of Kanye fans admit it's is weakest effort?
Where do these people live? I literally know zero people who are playing this shit or even talked about it being good. Not that MMLP 2 is killing the game, but more people I know listened to it and enjoyed it than Yeezus people. I'm still waiting to meet a person in real life who liked it.
I'm surprised he wasn't named first and second, with Jay being third and fourth for the new rules he laid down upon us and how he changed the course of the game forever.
Alternately, you fucking insolent crybaby, maybe some people just like a thing you don't. Jesus Christ, this is why I hate the Eminem section of the site and most Eminem fans in general. You people can't accept that in the year 2013, there are artists more critically popular and respected than your idol. You want it to be 2002 again, but it's not. It's just not. I don't even know how delusional you have to be to think nobody actually likes Yeezus, but you sound like the biggest titty baby stan right now. There's more to hip-hop music than just goddamn multis.
Love it or hate it, Yeezus is a very bold and musically experimental album that takes risks, and regardless of if you like the album's lyrics (which are Kanye's weakest but still eons ahead of Encore and Recovery), they're clearly coming from a personal place that means something to the artist. When one of the biggest names in the world releases a radically anti-commercial album with very little promotion and no singles, it's a huge deal. Sure, it's going to divide people, but the reception outside of this site's tremendously naive and biased user base has been overwhelmingly positive.
For the record, I know many more people who like Yeezus than MMLP2, and even most of those people who liked MMLP2 still prefer Yeezus. (I'd go with MMLP2, though both albums are top 5 of 2013.) Literally none of those people were paid to like Yeezus, and none of them give a fuck about listening to what's "cool."
So just so we're clear on this -- I'm a "fucking insolent crybaby" because I, 1.) Don't see the genius in Yeezus, which is my opinion, nor 2.) Have I heard anyone in real life rave about the album or even talk about it period.
But you're not a fucking insolent crybaby, despite attacking me personally because my views differ from yours?
You know you just wrote a lengthy post attacking me because I hated Yeezus much like I wrote a lengthy post attacking critics who liked Yeezus, right?
