No Mistakes is lowkey my favorite on the album.
Ghost Town is correctly considered one of his best songs.
Violent Crimes is arguably one of his best songs too IMO.
Agreed. I love No Mistakes
I Thought About Killing You Is Top 5 Material. This Album Is Perfect
no mistakes is amazing, ghost town is great, and violent crimes is a great closer
Violent crimes is def up there in his discography
Violent Crimes was better for me before I found out it was ghostwritten. Seems like a good message, but it's not coming from Ye, he's just singing it.
Ye reacts to rocker??
Ye is rocker🤯

2018 was the wildest year to be a kanye fan and this album represents it. all the hospitalization, maga, slavery, prescription stuff
Facts when he was dropping his shoes and clothes it was literally sitting on his website crazy that it’s already been 4yrs later and more ppl than ever are wearing yeezy
Pop pop doesn’t know how much hate he gotten for liking trump lmao
i won’t ever forgive him for not releasing Yandhi 😭😭
I totally forgot about all the Trump/MAGA stuff, and I think that's important. The country was going nuts over all of that
@@fucksleepordie at least we got an official release of hurricane after like 5 years
This is definitely an album that can hit or miss on the first listen, i liked it’s sound in first listen but it grew on me with its overall experience
i see u everywhere wtf
@@WOV2k goals 😂
I think "Ye" and "Kids See Ghosts" is some of Kanye's best work, it feels like a debut EP where you can feel the direct effort behind the artistry that is trying to be conveyed. These LPs are probably the most open Kanye has been for a long time.
ye!?
sad that bob doesn't agree
@@gutsbrsk ye is top 2
@@hahasofunnyhaha no FUCKING WAY 💀😭😭😭
Both are mid asf
Ghost Town is one of my favorite songs of all time, it’s so many layers in one. The song is the different parts of being bipolar. Partynextdoor’s feature is about him feeling so good that it can be dangerous. Cudi’s chorus refers to loneliness and 070 Shake’s refers to Mania, or how nothing hurts anymore so self harm feels liberating. The song itself is just so damn good, from the multiple samples to the slightly distorted guitar and of course, 070 Shake’s amazing outro. One of the only few songs to make me cry, I love it so much
+ the Sonics
Never took the lyrics so into detail, man Kanye has to be one of the greatest artists ever
Definitely agreed, Ghost Town is beautiful. The lyrics just gets amplified listening to it while emotional.
@@Lsuhh_he the greatest
@@Shooottta true
ye is a grower and i love that kanye opens up on this album
Yeah I don't think really anyone likes this album on first listen. When it came out I didn't really care for it and thought it was okay but after awhile I ended up listening to it like 2 more times and realized it was great
Ghost Town is one of Kanyes finest songs. Amazing. Love the album as a whole. Also Bob, your "this is chaotic" remark? Exactly. That was Kanyes goal i beleive.
bob clearly didn't lol.
Ghost Town is growing on me A LOT. I was given a link to a live version with a full choir and it was amazing to hear
@@bobthepoppop i understood your comments on how the production felt weaker compared to Daytona, but i think that was more your mindset. I am in no way saying you went into it to hate it(obviously), but going from Daytona to Ye was a big tonal shift , and maybe that threw you off . Looking forward to the additional thoughts, and the Atrocity Exhibition reaction( been listening to it nonstop this week to prepare for your reaction lol). Love and support from Portugal man!
I KNEW IT!!! Literally no one likes Ye their first time listening and I think that’s cause most people going into this album are really excited to listen to some more Kanye West but instead you just get some Ye and how he feels. Honestly letting the album settle into your mental and coming back when you’re just in one of those really down moods to the point where you hate it and this album will really just speaks to you in a different way. Whenever I’m feeling really down I can just put this album on and listen to it all the way through.
@ethan Ye is a beautiful album
@ethan I have ye in my top 5 Kanye albums, below graduation, tlop, and mbdtf
@ethan 808s my least favorite ye album, has great tracks like heartless, paranoid, love lockdown, and street lights but every attempt at emotion outside of street lights fails for me. LR has great songs like we major, touch the sky, late, and gone but too many skits and filler tracks. Tcd is very consistent but too many skits and not enough big highlights outside of we don't care, all falls down and spaceship
Ye is incoherent garbage.
I definitely had an expectation of 'Kanye sound' coming into this. Especially since I listened to TLOP right before, and really love that album. Ye is a huge change. I continue to give it more listens. I'll report back on Wednesday :)
Sucks that u don’t enjoy the album as much as us. Hopefully u can give it a couple more listens
yea it sucks.
@@burritogamer3984 ear check needed
Easily his worst album besides JIK lol
@@ama__92_ yes and even though it’s probably his second worst, it’s still great
@@willporter1716 nah i mean like bob's reaction/this vid. sucks to watch because of how much he disliked it. i was mad uncomfortable
one of my favourite albums of all time, it has just stuck with me and feels like such a personal snapshot into his life, but I can also translate some of the emotions into my personal life, raw honesty like that is always so rare and beautiful
it's a shame that bob didn't really appreciate it like that. seems he didn't like it at all from the reaction
i agree the first time i listened to this album and the times after it just hit me really hard.
i also personally love that its so scattered, and also that so many songs, have beats that make you look more into their individual elements rather then being all show-off, they also make ghost town a better moment when it comes on. those little angelic bells at the end of wouldnt leave make me cry
"They gotta repaint the colors, the lie is wearin' off".. And the end of violent crimes - At least to me - If about losing your innocence as you grow up. When you're young your parents nurture and guard you from the harsh realities of life - They paint a picture of the world that is a lot nicer than it actually is - But as you grow up the colors start to fade and "drip off".
Nice
That's spot on, and honestly I thought it was really obvious
I never understood this line, this is perfect
I like this idea, makes sense to me
I love this album. It will definitely grow on you. The “chaotic” vibe the album shows is to portray his battles with mental health and bipolar disorder
Fucking love this album so much. So many highlights and absolutely top tier kanye songs
he didn't love it sadly. didn't even like it i would say
@@burritogamer3984 it’ll grow on him
@@burritogamer3984 Fair tbh
While I think Kanye does get lazy a lot of times, I think the scattered feeling is incredibly fitting for the theme of the album which is Kanyes mind. If you have heard an interview from him you can see that his mind is incredibly scattered. One minute he talks about the presidental election then he talks about Shoes or whatever. Also he is Bipolar so obviously Songs, Lyrics and the whole album just constantly go up and down. Thats why it kind of works.
well seems like bob just saw it as lazy/low-effort. i think like half of the people who listen to the album think that
@@burritogamer3984 Maybe. I mean it could be and Im just interpreting it in that way. Something like Donda and Donda 2 proved to me that Kanye is somewhat lazy. I would argue though that 2018 was the last year where Kanye actually tried with his music and then he stopped.
@@SomePersonOnCZcams lmao what, "Donda showed that Kanye is lazy", how? Literally showed the complete opposite
It makes me wonder how much of that 'scattered mind' is intentional. Or, does it even need to be? Maybe he doesn't need to capture that sense if he's constantly living it? It's a bit of a mind trip thinking about it, artistic expression/intention vs revealing one's inner self.
070 Shake, who is featured on this album and Daytona, also has two solo albums, the most recent of which is produced by Mike Dean and her best work yet. Her style is probably closest to Travis Scott, with lots of interesting auto tune and beat switches. Doubt you'll ever get a chance to react to her, just thought I'd let you know. :)
The Travis comparison makes sense considering the fact that she's a product of both Cudi and Kanye just like him.
i can understand not falling in love with this album mostly because it’s a very specific piece of art. it’s brutal no filter, the first track is just about thinking about killing yourself and having those thoughts about others, like he says he says it even if it comes off as “bad.” the beat on yikes is stripped back and constantly going mimicking the feeling of a manic episode along with the lyrics. the rest of the album just perfectly portrays how he feels having bipolar episodes and how it relates to his family and public perception.
that’s why it’s one of my favorite Ye albums and i see it as an absolute masterpiece
he might read this but i'm not sure it'll grow on him going by these initial impressions. 😅it was pretty scathing reaction
Yeah brother, I loved this year of albums from Kanye, and I so love Kanye's journey through music, it's been wonderful and I hope it continues to be
shame to see he didn't really think it was anything special at all
@@burritogamer3984 it'll go down better on more listens, his additional thoughts will be a 180
The biggest theme in all kanye albums is about liberation. Freedom from society, heartbreaks, loneliness, obligations, and pain.
Ghost Town is in Kanye West's top 5 best tracks
I don’t get the hype of it
@@Sirslair well thats why girls ignore you then, isnt it?
I grew up in Wyoming and can tell you it’s absolutely beautiful. I actually was invited to the listening party of this album! I was working at the hotel that he was recording these albums at. It was such a surreal experience. Cheers Bob!
that's actually pretty crazy lol
Ghost town is one of Kanye’s best songs
bob thought it dragged on
@@burritogamer3984 i thougght the same thing first listen too. trust me he's gonna love it soon
i’m 1000% watching these super friday videos back to back to back so happy to see your reactions to these albums
he didn't like this one which sucks. kinda killed the vibe of "super friday"
@@burritogamer3984 dude why are you commenting 15 times on the video calm down
@@jefftallan5676 I can do whatever I want
@@burritogamer3984 it’s weird tho
BROOOOO this album is fuckin great
it is, sucks to see how he didn't like it
I always love searching on CZcams and finding your channel
Big fan of your content Bob. This might be the only time I’ve been surprised by your reaction in comparison to mine. I think perhaps Kanye’s Rolling Loud shit made this album particularly challenging for you. It seems you couldn’t shake that nagging feeling that you don’t respect Kanye like you used to. That’s perfectly valid to feel that way, I just think that perspective dampened how you approached the songs. Love your content Bob!
And I agree with much of what you said still. My thoughts on this album are almost as Bipolar as Kanye
This album has taken a front seat in my mind tonight cos I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Spectrum Disorder (told it was 'mild' because my manic periods aren't that bad, the depression certainly is bad tho) and ADHD
Ghost Town is exactly how i feel. I don't physically self harm but there are times I'll chase a high like gambling and I know it's wrong but I need that hit of dopamine, or I'll drink myself to death 3 nights in a row just cos I can. And I'll regret both of those decisions each and everytime and wear the guilt for hours or days, or even in the moment but will I stop? No. Why? Cos I'm chaotic, I'm brash.
It's very easy to dismiss Ghost Town as just being chaos but that's exactly the point. Hes going from violent, to numb, to wanting to feel something and just grab a hold of anything, to wanting to be calm but not wanting to accept the consequences that come with a manic episode (so it's often easier just to continue the mania for self preservations sake)
It's a really dangerous disorder. I often feel myself slipping between moods daily, but when those heavy swings come you can't actually feel the change. I went from sleeping at 11pm each night to staying up til 4am everynight and didn't notice a single thing wrong for about a week until I started having bad thoughts about cheating and stuff. I was highly productive but I was feeling a guy instinct to "fuck around and find out" and that's when i realised I was hypomanic.
The chaos is so intentional in that track, it's so hard to explain. As you can see from above, this response is chaotic too hahaha
Trippy stuff. Thank you for sharing this. It's wild to read about, even more so when I start to think about the brain just being a bio-chemical machine that has so many elements that are beyond our control. Stay safe ❤
Really hoped you would've liked this album as it's one of my favorites from Ye. Listened to this nonstop whilst in one of the lower points in my life.
yea it's a shame to see he really didn't vibe with it much. defo killed my mood
@@burritogamer3984 letting a whole notha man kill your mood because he doesn’t like some songs is ridiculous
@@tegx5997 he basically disliked the whole album not "some songs" vid is a mood killer especially when he hyped up this "SuPeR FrIDaY" series of reactions, you expect it to be hype and positive. miss me with that
@@burritogamer3984 just wait for ksg
@@burritogamer3984 thats just dumb and weirdly parasocial... Personally i like this album but why would you want him to like music that he doesnt naturally like? Theres plenty of other reaction channels that will do just that, theyll bob their heads to everything and call it a day but thats not this channel. And why would you care so much to where it would ruin your mood, like is this the only thing youre doing today? jeez dude
Ye genuinely one of my favorite albums of all time, I thinks it’s just how raw and personal it is, very much a more lyrical album content wise
This album was after he was hospitalized and was hurt and didn’t make music for a long time. He was kinda int his shell and he came out with this album to make himself feel okay with being bipolar and to show you can achieve anything. This album isn’t loved by a lot and it’s always forgotten but when you go back and listen it has such a good message and so many beautiful songs.
I just came back from a trip to the tetons and I gotta say this album felt so right to play while there. Side note Wyoming was amazing i cant describe it! Excited for the reaction
i was excited for the reaction too but the vid was a buzzkill. he didn't like it at all
@@burritogamer3984 hahah thats fine. Cant like everything ya kno
I am having such a bad day today, I've been waiting for another kanye reaction and this made my day, thank you so much.
eh it might just make your day worse after watching the vid. he really didn't like the album 😓
@@burritogamer3984 I'm just happy he's reacting to more kanye, It's his opinion if he likes it or not, just grateful.
@@mikemandel7792 grateful for a dude sitting in a room and listening to 7 songs? i dunno
@@burritogamer3984 god maybe he just really loves his content? Point is he’s happy about that, and that’s all that matter. I wonder what makes you happy “burrito gamer”
@@Josh-dy4lq something more worthwhile than that, especially when bob had such a dissapointing reaction to the project. makes you think how it must be for the patreons who paid to watch that
This album has great replay value it grows
What I love about this album is the CLEAR meaning/ message conveyed n EACH song !
I love this album because it was his first album that year and it was immediately after so much drama and headlines surrounded him and it felt like he sat back and reevaluated his entire life
last 2 songs on this project are absolute 1 punch knockouts so excited for u to hear
Also not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but in 'I thought about killing you' it's supposed to be him talking to himself, and the different sides of being bipolar
I felt the same way about this album at first man. It will grow on you if you let it, but it might take a while. You may not even come around to it next week lol but I think Kanye really nailed taking you through a manic episode on this album and the minimalist production is a perfect backdrop for it
i think he already got that "manic" feel from life of pablo and wanted something diffrent so sadly i dont think the album will really grow on him. there's not much here to grow on you with additional listens it's a very stripped back short project.
@@burritogamer3984 I think the aesthetic/mood is what grows on you, at least that's what it was for me. It's a bit more confessional and raw than pablo and I think the music reflects that. I get why people aren't into it though
This was my first real listen since 2018, since then I have actually been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder1, after almost a year of research, soul searching, self help, learning how to deal with it and mend my marriage... This album hits ENTIRELY different!
Time changes things.
3 great albums reacts in one day. Insane 🔥
So glad you posted these two kanye projects.
I'm so early for this one lets go!!! you should react to clipping! they are a noise rap group that makes super unique and interesting music and daveed diggs, the vocalist, is insanely talented
I love how your knowledge of rap terms have grown through the year!
Ghost town is definitely the key to the album. For me that’s when it all clicked. It’s so emotional and hard hitting. Ties in the rest so we’ll
Ye was meant to be a portrayal of Kanye's psyche following his bipolar diagnosis, so that's why the songs are all over the place. The opening is dark and manic and then the end is vulnerable and even wholesome. It can seem like it's just a garbled mess at times but that's the point. This album was him being open and honest about his mental state. Ghost Town is one of my all time favorite Kanye songs, it just feels absolutely euphoric. People have their different interpretations of it but to me I just imagine him finally finding peace through that catharis while he looks out at those Wyoming mountains in the album cover.
LOVE YOU BOB!!!
kids see ghosts up next!!... hopefully... i love how it follows the close releases of the actual albums
I think that understanding all the references to the events and/or Kanye controversies from 2017-2018 is one of the key things to "getting" that album, especially songs like Yikes and Wouldn't Leave, where the references are really specific. Living through that time of chaos in Kanye's life and him being able to acknowledge his weaknesses in regards to those spesific events was magical at the time, at least for me.
and I think it's def top 3 Ye Album in regards to lyrics, because they're written really good here.
Blows my mind because this is one my favorite albums ever from kanye 🤯
I always loved Ye, so intense and raw
I feel like this album works as a window into his life. Just pure honesty and truth and genuine music from Kanye. A snapshot into his mind
Man i love ghost town it feels amazing everytime
His best song in my opinion
Very underrated. Top 5 Ye. I've always loved this album.
This is by far my favorite Ye's album. Beautiful, progressive and deep.
BOB IS BACK!
if you wanna check out 070 shake's solo work (she did the outro to ghost town) i would HIGHLY recommend her latest album 'You Can't Kill Me'. it's almost entirely produced by mike dean and his fingerprints are all over the project, plus i'm sure you'd appreciate the clear dark side of the moon influence on lots of spots on the album.
you can't kill me is my favourite album of this year, and, sonically speaking, possibly the best sounding albums that's released in a long time
The Cover was cooked up in Ye's iPad 20 mins before the release on the car to the release party. Im not sure if Kanye already had taken the photo or took it in the car ride but he just wrote the words over it quickly and said this is it, and scrapped everything he had before that.
Such a great album. The rawness, vulnerability, openness about mental health and that perfect production is just amazing. Hope people revisit the album because a lot didn't give it a fair shot considering the time it came out. Ye is definitely a top 3 Kanye album for me 🙏🏽
If you listen to yhandi and ye. You see this pattern of production where the song starts off with a little vocal hook then slowly really subtly builds until you have something so grand that it feels like a different song. I think it's beautiful and alot of artists have been influenced by this travis, Don toliver, 070 to name a couple
When ye came out I really thought it was his best album. It is an album I listen to alot and even though as I've grown older I understood the other projects way better. ye still has a special place in my heart.
Bro you’re me
i bounce back between this and KSG allll the time. def a grower
Bob, love your reviews, and watching this reminds me of my first time listening to the album back when it was released.
Long story short: during The Saint Pablo Tour, Kanye started to rant and would end shows early. The things he’d talk about were very concerning. Examples being: begging Jay Z not to have him killed or his wife to stop hiring secret agents that were following him. He’d perform 2-3 songs, rant for 10 minutes and end the shows.
Eventually, after a show, he was detained and committed to a mental hospital for further observation. (Hospital bands, 100k fuck a watch)
The media of course went nuts, people on social media came up with a lot of conclusions. He disappeared from the spotlight.
Several months later, reports of Kanye living out in Wyoming surfaced. He had supposedly purchased 10’s of thousands of acres of land and was living away from his family, as a suggested form of therapy. Not only that, he had announced that he would be releasing 5 albums in one month with 7-8 tracks on each. People were not sure what to think, as he had often promised things that never delivered and had had a recent mental breakdown.
To everyones surprise, the albums were released on time and received universal critical acclaim. Ye however had received some mixed reviews. I think honestly: it scared people.
At that current time, mental health awareness was gaining significant traction, though many still were (I’d say…) uncomfortable talking openly about it. So when Kanye dropped this open and honest, yet disturbing and menacing project, personally, it stressed me out. Like here’s an artist I truly cared about, saying some really scary shit. But quite honestly, it really was more that the album was so real, that a lot of people my age felt it hit home maybe… too much haha.
The album introduces the lows (tracks 1-3) suicidal intentions, anger, lust. And eventually leads you through his journey of understanding himself and his condition and lastly… acceptance.
“I hate being bipolar, it’s awesome.”
He introduced this idea to a whole generation of kids who loved him, that even something like being bipolar should be a super power. We saw him at his low and he returned to us months later a still flawed, yet stronger and optimistic person. And it inspired a generation to embrace the things they hated about themselves. Ghost Town is now considered to be one of his best tracks, period. “One day all the drama’ll be gone and they will continue to play this song on and on.” Incredibly powerful words. He hopes that what he’s saying will influence society to challenge the norms and shift to better understand/accept mental illness.
What used to feel like rushed mixtape to me, now feels like a masterpiece. It captures a specific time in his life and ultimately a shift in society. I too at the time was going through some shit, just graduated college and was about to enter the “real world” I was so uncertain of the future and became depressed. Things felt like they wouldn’t get better, they did. And interestingly enough, when I listen to songs like I Thought About Killing You, it reminds me of the lows and the scary moments, where as Ghost Town and Violent Crimes, is from a different current perspective: looking back on what felt like “the end of the world” and smiling about that 😂(understanding and acceptance).
“I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed. Nothing hurts anymore I feel kind of free.”
Great write up, man, I really appreciate it 👍
Been lots of great comments in this video, and I'm taking them all in ❤
aint no way this mfer said "long story short"
I didn’t love this album at first but wouldn’t leave no mistake and ghost town have become some of my favorite ye songs ever
I love no mistakes and this album a ton, came out during my exam season
I Thought About Killing You is one of my favourite songs of Kanye. I really like the spoken part too!
Thanks for reacting to this Album
He liked the years ahead but way behind bar on ghost town but didnt dive into the george jetson/jefferson line in wouldn’t leave, I thought for sure he would be interested in that. Hopefully this album will have grown on him when/if he does an additional thoughts
The version on streaming had a sample removed or something iirc, the listening party version is the one I listen to and the one a lot of people heard when the album came out
the beat switch in 'I thought about killing you' used to be so much better 😫
I guess I enjoyed this album when it came out becuz I was following what happened to Kanye after TLOP and him surprisingly ending the tour in the middle of one of his shows and him being in the hospital after that.
Basically, I wasn't expecting a big project and big music production album from him at that down time in his life.
what a great friday
not really, this vid killed the vibe, bob didn't like the album at all.
@@burritogamer3984 Isnt the point of the whole channel for him to talk about his opinions?
just finished daytona reaction now this, hahaha lets gooo
Ghost Town I one of my favourite songs ever it's Beautiful Sublime & Incredibly meaningful in my Life
ive always looked at this album as the true look into kanyes mind. its extremely personal and is crazy like kanye(especially in 2018)
Ye is probably his most personal, honest album
This man makes me just want to enjoy life.
once you finish all of kanye i’d recommend listening to kanye 2049. it’s a fan mix but once you know the music the experience of the tracks melding into one another is extremely enjoyable
i miss the original version of i thought about killing you, it had an ambient sample that got removed cuz of clearence and was replaced with a synth the song hits much harder with the sample, i think you acn find the original on youtube
I genuinely look forward to you dissecting lyrics, despite you thinking it's maybe "too much" , it's my favourite part.
The lyric in No Mistakes where he says "I don't take advice from people less successful than me" is very reminiscent of Cant Tell Me Nothing in my opinion. I remember your analysis of that track where it sounds like he wishes that people could get through to him but nobody can tell him anything now that he's this successful.
His laughter at 16:35 could actually fit perfectly mixed into the song
Ghost town one of my favorite songs of all time
this is his most personal and vulnerable album which is why it resonates with a lot of people and other people don’t really get it.
I’d say 808s is
Violent crimes is definitely my favorite song on here Kanye somewhat learning after how much time 😂😂😂
This is prime Kanye. How chaotic it is, all over the place, erratic it’s literally the most Kanye album lol. But that’s also the genius in this album. Didn’t love it at first but the more I listened the more I appreciated it
Definitely not prime Kanye… but the most Kanye Kanye album
Bob u gotta react to “Harry’s House” literally a contender for AOTY
Naahhh💀
@@youareasock9752 yea bc whole lotta red is
The album artwork was actually taken by Kanye on his phone. He was on his way to the listening party for either his album or maybe Daytona.
You should check out 070 shake, she was the one singing on ghost town, she’s amazing, both her albums have been outstanding, really think you’d enjoy them
this album is very underrated i hope you appreciate its artistic value
edit: ☹️
spoiler: he didn't. seems like he was very underwhelmed
Bro said there was no substance
Just started it but there’s no way, I think this is the most showing album from Kanye easily
You are just experiencing all the best albums at once. You didn’t have to wait years for these albums to come out. Nice.
Ghost Town and Violent Crimes are both so amazing. They are almost on par emotionally with many songs off of Blonde for me.
Kids see Ghosts is essentially a more cohesive and polished version of ye imo. I think you will enjoy that a lot more, the production is incredible, some of Kanyes best work.
hopefully because this reaction just bummed me out so much. kinda killed the vibe of this whole super friday thing
@@burritogamer3984 Its a album that you either love or hate. For me its the second worst Kanye album. Mainly because of the empty production. Kids see Ghosts is a lot fuller.
@@burritogamer3984 I genuinely don’t understand the love for this album it has 4 good songs and maybe 1 top tier kanye song. It’s the only album of his i don’t care for
@@kingmisssile9730 this album is a 10 bru idk why people hate it so much
I don't think that at all, the themes and sounds of both albums are completely different, I don't see how you can think KSG is a more polished Ye. KSG is obviously miles better but it's pretty clear that the intent behind each album is complete different
another thing to add that is just a theory but i think is neat to think about is that this is the end of kanye’s journey since MBDTF.
that album starts with nicki minaj and on Ye it ends with nicki minaj.
the first time on MBDTF it’s about fame and behind the curtain and then on Ye it’s about his daughter and his family. it’s a way to conclude Kanye’s relentless battle between fame and his family, finally deciding to be there for his family.
Damn it I gotta sleep now but I can’t wait to watch this tomorrow 🙏
bro just skip the vid in general, it was a dissapointing watch as he was just like "meh" to most tracks or didnt like them
@@burritogamer3984 ? If that was his opinion then it is what it is lol why would I skip the vid?
Violent crimes is my favorite song
There was a Kanye tweet that said "Who or what is Kanye West with no ego? Just Ye". He tweeted that the same year, the album ye was released. So I'd say the opening track is about killing a part of himself, his ego. And it sets up the contrast between dark thoughts and beautiful thoughts. The structure of the album mirrors what the album is communicating on a thematic level i.e beauty emerging from darkness. By having tracks grouped together that represent darker thoughts, then followed by tracks grouped together that represent beautiful thoughts side by side. Kind of like how in a film a character arc can tie into what a film is saying on a thematic level, and be explored through said arc.
bob didn't like the album. no point trying to explain or convince the guy otherwise.
@@burritogamer3984 I wrote that after the his reaction to the first track. I wasn't aware he would not be into the album at that point.
Absolutely love this album, it’s my third favorite Kanye album
This will 10000% grow on you
At first I didn’t vibe with Ye and didn’t think it was very good, but one day I listened to it and it just worked for me and since then I’ve thought it was waaaay better than I thought initially. Idk if that happens for everyone but it happened to me and one of my good friends.
But Ghosttown has been phenomenal the whole time, easily S tier Kanye and one of his best songs
Ghost town is a song that needs relistening. It doesn't get tired or over the top, it just resonates more and more musically.
Edit: I think the colors dripping off part is a continuation of losing your childhood or your childish/idealistic idea of what life *should* be.
back to back bangers??? THANKS!!!
one banger one flop. he didn't like this one at all
@@burritogamer3984 damn i didn't know my own opinion was wrong. thanks!
I listened to this in high school when it came out and didn't enjoy it. Two years later it became one of my favourite Kanye albums.
