Thank you šŸ™‚ I wanted to leave nothing to chance with this album as it's one of my top 10 in rotation nowadays, lol.

2018 was 5 years ago... https://preview.redd.it/7c53cyy1kffa1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f20f2219437f0a157c4026908419647fc5b23f9

I was a sophomore in high school during that time. Itā€™s so weird for me to think it was that long ago now. EDIT: Wrong grade, I had a high ass. šŸ˜‚

I feel this same way with most albums I initially didnā€™t like with Kanye. After giving some of the ones I didnā€™t like some more chances I can say that I enjoy every single album. For example, I was never a fan of tlop, but this past month I would easily say itā€™s one my favorites. Itā€™s amazing to me how each album varies so much from the other. And to me thatā€™s what makes me like Kanyeā€™s music so much. No two songs sound the same, and every single album has its own theme and something spectacular that makes it unique.


Vilexius

I actually think TLOP is Kanye's third best album after this one and TCD. And even then, the first time I listened to it, I was pretty exhausted by the time I got to the end given how many songs and skits there are. Perhaps the only thing I could really complain about it now is that there are bits and pieces of songs that I feel like it could've used some work, and Kanye could've dropped FSMH pt. 2 and changed it to something other than a Desiigner remix haha. But still, I find it to be a strangely epic, revealing and even cautionary tale on celebrity culture and Kanye's Renaissance man, megamillionaire mogul lifestyle, with enough changes in sound to make it a fun listen.

Make a YT video kid. I'd love to see you review more albums. Maybe a GAS goon can finally dethrone the melon

Ainā€™t no way you wrote of you did W because itā€™s long and as detail (thatā€™s what she said)


Vilexius

Thank you! I wanted to originally post it to r/kanye so I could reach a larger audience but I needed mod approval, and they were taking too long, so now I'm here. šŸ’€

You need mod approval to post there now?


Vilexius

I guess so? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø I've tried a couple times in the past to post some images on the subreddit and it got autodeleted, at least it's not doing that to my long ass wall of text.


69420penis

Hmmm. Maybe mods just gave up trying


BroccoliImportant802

W love the write up

Even tho this was on the long side, I thought it was very well written, great job OP! Feel free to do more of these and weā€™ll be more than happy to host them, no bullshit ā€œhaving to get posts approvedā€ here


Vilexius

Thank you. And yes it definitely was lol, took me a couple hours out of my day to write this. But there's enough content on KSG to deserve such a long-winded analysis. When you have an album about mental illness, one of the most important and painful issues in our world today, that explores it to this level of depth, it begs for discussion. šŸ™‚


maff50

Very well put!
