All hail....."YEEZUS"?

OK..
So every one who knows me, some who know of me know that I am the biggest Kanye fan. I've been in love with Mr West's artistry since he was only allowed to show his talents as a producer, when he dropped College Dropout it only went up from there.
What amazes me and keeps me on the edge about Kanye West is that he really does grow as an artist, just like snowflakes or fingerprints I cannot name 2 Kanye West albums that are alike.
I am going to try my best to critic Yeezus with out an unbiased opinion.
Track 1) On Sight- As an intense music listener, I like to hear what artists here meaning not only the lyrics but the beat, the vibe, the different instruments used the pitches, every and anything that helps make the song what it is. Some say this beat is "too much" but I think the too much was just enough, the feeling i got when I listened to this song is one where I'm at an arcade. I enjoyed every bit of overlapping the beat was doing. It was a great intro song and definitely a way to get me to listen to more. The thing about that song is there is no in between you either like it or you don't. Which is good because I would either want to listen to the rest of the album to recover from that mess or listen to hear more of that good mess.
2)Black Skinhead- I enjoy how Kanye's theme for this album is addressing things that may seem offensive.. "stop all that coon shit". In this album Kanye was not afraid to address things blacks and society as a whole shy away from. This song is not one of my favorites, however it does keep me on the edge of my seat screaming "WHAT'S NEXT!" And it's a great way to prepare us for the next blow, which is 'NEW SLAVES'
3)I Am A God- This song was so necessary, an ear opener and a song that makes one who mops floors for a living feel superior! Not going to front, that scream scared the shit out of me! And I will NOT listen to this song home a lone or at night, it has an eerie feeling to it. It's a hot song nonetheless and deserves some playtime though!
4)New Slaves- Hands down one of my favorites on the entire album! From the beginning "my momma was raised in the era when, clean water was only served to the fairer skin" gives me goosebumps and once again I'm dying to hear what's next. A good song for the beat to take the backseat, the beat was there you heard it, it was hot but it wasn't overbearing what Kanye was preaching. I think this is the perfect "Damn I gotta get up and get to my 9-5". It is the bitter truth. And the passion displayed in this song is undeniable.
5)Hold My Liquor- My favorite line has to be "soulmates become soulless" I think we can all vouch for that! Once again this isn't a favorite of mine, but the way its portioned as a story turns it into a valuable song. Great song to listen to when you're definitely feeling lonely and thinking or having a shot of wine.
6) I'm in it- I WILL BE BIASED because I JUST LOVEEE REGGAE SAMPLES. They are seriously everything a song needs. Thank you for Assassin's part assassinating this song. Everything it needed and more. Then Justin Vernon's soft voice just setting it off. A fun song to jam to. The scream added in it, the singing, the reggae. All these varieties making what I call a song thats worth it
7)Blood on the Leaves- Another one of my FAVORITES. And part of it is the production. Okay majority of it is the production, when that beat drops it does something to my heart that I don't think I've ever felt before. If you have a surround sound system in your car, home, shit even tree house anywhere it is necessary to listen to this song and just wait for the beat to do something to ya! Kanye knows exactly what sample to put on every song, and the sample with the beat creates an incredible song.
8)Guilt Trip- The highlight of this song is Cudi's appearence. He forces us to remember an ex with his voicing of "if you loved me why'd you let me gooooo ooooo let me gooo ooo" And once again any sample that is reggae is something I adore. Another good listen
9)Send it Up- A head bopper! Once again my love for reggae greeted with Beenie Man in the beginning. King Louie's stern voice also had me pay attention to the flow. the catchy "We can send this bitch up it can't go down" Once again Beenie Man's appearance on this song was lovely, great way to begin and end.
10) Bound 2- Dang! And I say that because it's unfortunate that the anticipated album stops here. Charles Wilson is always appreciated on a song. And of course Kanye had every one tweeting "ONE GOOD GIRL IS WORTH A THOUSAND BITCHES" DUH! Enjoyed it but was saddened it had to end here.

Overall this album was one I do love, I enjoyed it more the 2nd,3rd,4th....time around. I do wish there were more songs. It received some criticism for not being the most lyrical or for being "different" but if you want the old Ye' his old albums are still being sold.

Hibbert Hib Hop,ya dont stop

I could not begin this Blog post with out giving credit where it is due. It pains me to say this because I am indeed a Knicks fan, and I hate how the "baby" team Pacers SON'd us. But this team has showed youth can beat experience. This team has  played how a TEAM shall play. I doubt the Knicks could have given the Heat a hard time such as the Pacers could have, though I have Miami Pulling through and winning game 7, Pacers do indeed deserve a standing ovation. Now to get to the real news, the real reason I decided to voice my thoughts on this blog, is Hibbert's use of the well known saying "no homo"I can understand why the NBA covered their ass by charging Hibbert an overwhelming $75k (it's not the money in my opinion, ball players get paid too much any way) over what we hear so often from rappers, friends, etc. I can understand Jason Collins just leaped out the closet and announced his preference of sexuality. However, I do not think Hibbert meant it in any degrading way, it must be understood that this is a young team and it must be understood that this is how young people speak. I am in no way defending Hibbert because I do not think that's post conference talk, there is a time and place for everything and that was neither the time nor place.
I do not believe this should tarnish Hibbert's image.Though it is a different entertainment field, how many times have Lil Wayne said "no homo" in a song and we continue to hear it on the radio and never heard of him being fined. And I think we can all agree if anything is influential it is music.
I am just hoping this does not distract Hibbert so much to the point he loses focus on game 7 tonight. I am looking forward to sitting back and watching an entertaining game tonight. I am looking forward to see EVERYBODY bring it. I do feel as if Hibbert's apology is genuine and the Pacers should be looked at for the show they are putting on and not a slip up from something we hear all the time and ignore all the time.
