    I think about this a lot. Kanye is historically my favorite artist even if I wanted to pretend he wasn’t, and some of the music 2018+ is still always on repeat, but if anybody else made a lot of those songs, they wouldn’t be that good or as critically acclaimed in my own mind lol

    nobody else in music could go brakakakaka on an entire song like feel the love and have it hit you like that

    i only really see donda as a handoff of whatever the mantle is to other rappers with how diverse the feature list is and considering he blew everything up a year later it tracks

    there is 0 cohesion and its riddled with ai with hastily cobbled together songs with awful structure most of which dont go longer than 2 minutes

    I was talking about the vapid s***bars part

    Bully released version iirc doesn't have AI outside of that one song that less 2 minutes and an melody interpretation

    • Beauty and the Beast is the one

    He did use AI as references tho and the other versions are full of AI

    There is a lot of cohesion on Bully, it's Soul and Blues inspired with a dash of Synth Pop n "Motown" RnB, although there are like 3 songs that don't fit the motif I agree like the Spanish song, Circles and the 2nd track

    The instrumentation is great and inspired, he is using samples as major parts of the song like his very early years of pre CD to CD, he has figured out how to Rap again for the most part and isn't as sexually overt and corny while also rapping again with his ironic and sarcastic bars naturally for the first time in forever which donda1 didn't even have

    I don't care if the songs are shorter as long as they sound good overall, although there is two songs I do wish were longer

    White Lines
    All the Love
    Punch Drunk
    Bully title track
    I Can't Wait
    Preacher Man
    Father

    Those are the songs I genuinely like and enjoy a lot, while there's about two others that are like HMs for me depending - Damn n Sisters Brothers, I also love the beat on King which reminds of Hardcore Dancestyle genre from like Janet Jackson

    It's his best since Donda1, although doesn't say much since Vultures 1 is mid with a few highlights, Vultures 2 is straight trash and Donda2 is ass with like two gems, Bully is a middle of the road 6.5 to maybe 7 and is at the bottom of his middle discog - although it does have highlights, the first thing I've perosnally liked since donda1, and I think it's a good "restart" album not only image wise of him relearning how to actually do music once again - lot of the album feels like "back to the basics" with a twist

    • it's above V1, V2, D2, JIK and Ye for me which is his bottom tier albums to me, while just under Cruel Summer which it and Bully are at the bottom of middle tier of albums for me

    I actually think Bully is a bit bloated that hurts it, and where the "aimlessness" starts to creep in towards the end quarter

    Edit: the talk box usage, which he's never had before, is also artistically inspired and well done

  • Apr 15

    Bully is prob his most cohesive sound wise minus like 2 or 3 songs since KSG funk, soul and psych rock sound

  • relapsed bisexual

    donda f***ing sucks

    ? European

    Bully feels like what an original Mixtape from Kanye would be

    i was 5 20 years ago and hopped on during 808s cause my dad put it on my first ipod cause there wasn't cursing and even still if you got on in your teens you still had yeezus and 99% of pablo era plus a pretty flawless discography to flip through to each of those points

    good for you i guess

    if that other guy was 3 twenty years ago, he was 13 when TLOP dropped, and had just reached high school age when Kanye came out as MAGA

    and he’s from a non-English speaking region, so he didn’t just grow up on ye like you did, he actively sought the guy’s music out once he was aware enough to do so, which had to have been during maga-nazi era

    guy chose not to hear jail god breathed off the grid hurricane praise god jonah okok junya believe what i say 24 remote control moon heaven and hell donda keep my spirit alive jesus lord new again pure souls come to life no child left behind or any of the part 2s that isnt jail pt 2 because thats literally the only song on here with features and lyrical content to make the point theyre trying to make

    not even including the bonus tracks either lololol

    so the listening parties never happened? did you forget the common criticism back then was that if someone was ever in any controversy, Kanye would be putting them on stage with him & on the album as a feature?
