"I'm in it" is fucking bonkers. I feel like there's so much of yeezus that is overlooked despite so many years of people saying how underrated/overlooked it is. The album really just doesn't click with a lot of people. It's my favorite too, Mike. Awesome work

[@alexsbt]

The production is amazing on every track of yeezus, it's just crazy...

[@andreja9425]

[@sebastianfjorn]

yeezus was an industrial punk rap masterpiece, mike probably blew a fucking fuse on the moog playing all those crazy synth parts

[@Echani3007]

I definitely do fuck hard with the thematic themes of Yeezus. The first half I love too much though, the industrial production is crazy. Guitar solo at the end of Hold My Liquor is awesome.

He doesn’t even know why he gave it a 6 himself, he’s just holding onto the 6 as some something to be his ‘thing’ as a point of constant discussion, but more so because he’s too stubborn to change his rating because he doesn’t wanna admit he was wrong initially. Man said everything else on the record apart from one track is perfect 😂 but it’s a 6 okay lol.

[@Onchyst]

yeah but, when you think about it, that 6 made him famous would you have done the same ?

[@hihihi8447]

He’s trying to be professional about it because he’s talking to the guy who worked on it. Regardless if it’s a cool environment or not.

[@marioi.carrillo6264]

That doesn't even make sense because I'm pretty sure Fantano is very much sick of hearing about how he is wrong about MBDTF for more than 10 years, if he was as dishonest as you imply him to be, he would've changed his mind years ago simply to shut all those people up. It's not like he has never change his mind on some of his most controversial opinions, Swimming and TLOP come to mind. Maybe he just genuinely feels that way about the album lmao. He is not stubborn lmao, he simply has his own opinions than more often than not he elaborates and expands into. Whether you agree with him or not you simply can't say he "doesn't even know why he gave it a 6". "He doesn't like it as much" is a much clearer and frankly more consistent opinion than "Oh he actually likes it but he has to pretend he doesn't for some reason despite the fact that him not liking it as much makes him an easy target for vitriol". It's dumb
