that was the cd rip i posted. if a beat trash then its trash no matter what sounds are in it. kanye smart bc he knew this shit was trash he made it that way on purpose thats why he didnt promote it drop no singles or make artwork. he has a creative message with this album thats why its called yeesus. he basically saying i can drop some bullshit and people will still dick ride me and buy it bc im me, i, a hip hop god. this is a experimental album like 808s. im sure he will drop another album to make up for this him and jayz working on throne 2

no its just trash to me. his raps and vocals was good as usual but beats was ass and is what im not feeling i listened it to five times thats enough times to soak it in for a final opinion. are u really saying this tight meaning you gonna play consistantly or are you just saying that bc its kanye west?
yep we must have some advance ears and just dont hear it. bc i actually saw a couple fools on twitter call this album a classic. the beats sound like random noise to me. if this the way rap is about to sound them im gonna stop listening to it and fuck with rock or country

I can see how hip hop fans won't like a lot of it. Some of the beats have a real nine inch nails type vibe going (which I enjoy a little bit) but he completely ruins most of it with obnoxious yelling and trash lyrics. If he actually came out and had some dope shit to say I would probably like it more but he kind of dropped the ball on that one. It was a good try but not good enough.
I wouldn't be too worried about this being the direction hip hop is going in lol.. If anything hip hop will embrace dubstep (it pretty much has already) more than anything.

^ that's a good point. This would be a classic if he had more feeling behind what he was doing. That's where I agree with
@0R0
about it being kind of trap, this was the least personable album Kanye's ever done. None of the songs really mean anything, he's just kinda bragging over dope beats like trap shit. But these beats are super dope to us that listen to Daft Punk and Hudson Mohawke so that's why some of us like this so much.

I wouldn't be worried too much about the impact it could have.
The history of rap over the last decade is one of further and further separation of the genre into more and more isolated fractions.
The mainstream has been pretty much nothing but pop music since around 2001-2002. First the thug ballads of Ja Rule, then Kanye and the sped-up sould samples, then autotune and the move into electro-pop, one disastrous trend after another.
This has not been such a bad thing overall in the last few years as it was in the early 00s because due to the fragmentation of the fan base allowed by the internet, not everyone is feeling obliged to follow those trends. Radio and TV do not dominate listener's preferences the same way they did before. That's why there are so many trap rappers making music that has nothing to do with the "mainstream" out there and why oddities like Odd Future, Lil B, SpaceGhostPurp, and others had some considerable success.
It used to be that what was on the radio determined the trends and if you did't like it, you had to dig deep in the underground, which involved considerable effort to actually find that music. Not anymore - you still need to exercise some effort to find good music, but it is a a lot more readily available than it used to.
So at this point I don't really care what BS someone like Kanye comes up with and how many of the rappers in that circle follow it. There will be good music to listen to and it will not be that difficult to find.
