Yeezus

Product Information

This seemingly shifted the conceptual focus of Kanye’s ninth studio album from Yandhi to JESUS IS KING.

On the same poll for singles, "Bound 2", "New Slaves", and "Black Skinhead" were ranked in the top 10.Then, in November 2017, it was reported that one of CyHi the Prynce’s Spotify playlists contained potential Yeezus 2 songs.

Fifteen days before its release date, West enlisted the help of producer Rick Rubin to strip down the sound of Yeezus in favor of a more minimalist approach.While previous albums, particularly Dark Fantasy, took considerable time in the studio, Yeezus was described by Kilhoffer as "the fastest record we ever made". All I need is sweet and sour sauce,” he says after, referring to performing oral sex on an Asian woman. If there’s anything that unites the divergent sounds across West’s catalog, it’s their reactionary nature—antagonistic responses to his previous material (in the case of Yeezus) or the state of rap at large (on his earliest popped-collar mixtapes) or to his public perception ( My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy).

Kanye West’s sixth studio album, Yeezus, marked a complete reverse from the bombastic production he accomplished on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, swapping lush soul and anthemic hooks for splintering electro, acid house, and industrial force while packaging some of his most lewd and heart-crushing tales.

West was influenced primarily by minimalist design and architecture during the production of Yeezus, and visited a furniture exhibit in the Louvre five times. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to note that contrary behaviour of that nature would certainly fit with Yeezus itself, which is as dementedly contrary an album as you're going to hear from a major artist this year. The only track not on Cruel Summer was “White Dress”, a 66-bar epic written for RZA and the soundtrack for Man With The Iron Fist.
