Is Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’ Album Underrated? | For The Record

Kanye West’s sixth studio album, ‘Yeezus,’ marked a sonic shift from his previous work. Released six years ago today, the 10-track project drew a mixed response from fans, but still earned critical acclaim. On the latest episode of ‘For The Record,’ Genius’ Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman hosted a panel with Genius’ Executive Editor Insanul Ahmed, Genius’ Senior Artist Relations Manager Mikey Fresh, and Revolt’s ‘State of the Culture’ co-host Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins to discuss the legacy of ‘Yeezus.’

Ok I remember I became a big Kanye fan when Yeezus dropped because it sounded like something I’ve never heard before. When it come to Black Skin Head I honestly thought it was a white guy (I was at a store) later discovered it it Kanye West rapping over a beat that you usually hear on a Rock song. Now if you look at a lot of 2013 interviews a lot of people hated on that album because it wasn’t your common rap album. To me this album is like 808s and heartbreak where it’s ahead of its time, it’s almost like wine the older it gets the better it becomes. If you’re a fan or heard Tyler’s new work you can see how much he got inspired from Yeezus! To me Yeezus was a modern day Tupac album. Why? Well if you think back Tupac’s songs are liked by many people because of how he talks about racism, government issues and white corporations. Now if you look at the Yeezus lyrics he has many good topics about today’s problems like Tupac! Only difference is that he decided to experiment with the beats, something you’ve never heard before, not your regular rap beats.

[@cellly110]

aldo montano correct indeed

It was made for people not to enjoy that much, even kanye admitted that he had way more melodic and better versions of the songs. He was just over kissing the publics ass. Mbdtf was basically ye trying to gain everyones support back , but he realized that he dont care about fame and publics good graces, he wanted to focus on pushing boundaries. He was frustrated that everyone kept shutting him down in fashion and wanted him to just stick to music. Imo its underrated tho the sounds is too futuristic for some people.

ye is the most insightful and personal Kanye album. Production wise, it's a new direction that, even if it's not reinventing the wheel, it's a fresh approach. Both Ghost Town and Violent Crimes are going to be regarded as two of the most important songs in Kanye's career.

[@nathano-735]

One of the best ever examples of an album aging like wine

[@tjanik11]

The fact that they’re even breaking Yeezus down 6 years later is saying something. How many albums or artists get this sort of dissection?

[@LUXKIO]

"I like Bound 2 the least" Nice to know I'm not alone.

[@ubaldohuizar6012]

civil surfer bro the whole album is good but bound 2 has got this vibe like damn you know it’s like you know it’s a classic with just the first listen

[@loscaprio]

Late Registration is Kanye’s best work because its perfecting the College Dropout. Kanye and orchestrated beats is a duo that has been unbeatable to this day. It also rids most of the off the wall skits that TCD had and gives them a better storyline of a comeback. There’s endless classics like Hey Mama, Roses, Heard em Say and the beautiful piece of Late ( underated track ) Following that is MBDTF and the rest can shift places depending on your current mood but I see myself visiting Graduation more often.

The minimal production makes it great for remixes

[@bhuuthesecond]

The guitar riff on hold my liquor made the album for me.

[@nicholasbentley4085]

Yeezus is so timeless and unique and creative and experimental. It really gets better every time u listen to it

[@ssjliano9971]

Nah fr ngl I just listened to it two weeks ago and can’t get over the ending of new slaves or Kanye’s verse on hold my liquor don’t get me started on guilt trip these songs pushed hip hop out it’s boundaries

[@adairchinchilla6775]

The consistency of all of Kanye’s albums are the reason why if it were to take 5-6 years for Yandi to drop I would still listen with great eagerness since it would be so perfected with no rushing

[@vickieveeh]

Ok but lets mention how much Daft Punk put into the album as well... Legendary yall

[@KMXDS]

Yeezus wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t the touch of the French

[@marcobazan4187]

Christian Castro it's a very European electronic sounding album. I loved how well it fit with Kanye's style

[@garanceahran7953]

@@marcobazan4187 that is complete bullshit, european my ass, it is a very hip hop album in the way its works musically, very rhythmic driven

I AM A GOD. Yeezus was way ahead of its time

[@rokykray4702]

no one could recreate that album because it also took a lot of people and resources but we getting there

[@TheNopeDude]

Always liked this album. 💿 I blast it still to this day. Never cared what nobody thinks.

[@imheretosayyo3064]

The Life Of Pablo remaster didn't make the album better? That album went from being a mess to being some of Kanye's best work ever.

[@oGTrillWave]

I’m happy Yeezus is finally getting its just due among the masses

[@andresaurusrexx15]

I love these conversations. This show is SO necessary .

[@treefiddytwoo]

my favorite ye album, followed by graduation. extremely underrated

[@robbiebalboa]

It’s funny they mentioned, the minimal sound first thing that comes to mind is Virgil. These guys have been on a wave for so long. Was I the only one when he came out with “I Am A God” to be like “meh, it’s Kanye what do we expect”

[@edwin99901]

At first, Yeezus was trash to me. I was like, what is this garbage that I'm listening to?? Now Yeezus gets me hype, and it just had thus dark energetic vibe to it
