New Music Alert: Dance Apocalyptic by Janelle Monae

6/29/2013 11:18:00 PM

Janelle Monae has never been one to be dedicated to one genre. Her music is all over the place and I love that about her. She's so awesome and it really comes out through her music how eclectic and edgy she really is. In the case of Dance Apocalyptic, its a mash up of the bubble gum pop...

New Music Alert: Work by Iggy Azalea feat. Wale!

6/29/2013 04:13:00 PM

Iggy Azalea is a peculiar one. Honestly I didn't listen to much her music until I came across this song Work. Iggy Azalea became popular when she was apart of 2011's XXL Freshman Class (which is the Next Big Thing in Hip Hop). After that she was everywhere. Just like Nicki Minaj. Featured on many songs. Pictured at...

Album Release: Kanye's "Yeezus" Album Dropped Yesterday, Critiques Love It! But Me...I'm Not So Sure... (Review Inside)

Album Cover Art for Kanye West's "Yeezus"

Just a few days ago Kanye West welcomed a new addition to his family and it was his beautiful little girl with long time girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Then a few days later his album "Yeezus" dropped and I was stoked. I love Kanye's music. He is a master of mixing old with new, the foreign with familiar and creating something spectacular!

But in the case with "Yeezus" I'm not feeling it too much. On some #realtalk I'm scared of the album. Thats no joke. I was amped when I found out the release of the album. I listened to a few tracks (Black Skinhead, New Slaves, On Sight) and then I had to stop for a minute and just process what I had heard. After the track I Am a God feat. God, I just was like WOOOW! To be honest before you judge and claim blasphemy listen to the lyrics of the song first then make your decision. I admit when I saw the title of the song I was like this dudes tripping. But you need to listen to the song first, of course there is a lot of ego tripping and all that but Kanye has a lot to say in that song and its worth the listen believe me. Yeezus is angry, gritty and raw. Its something that can't be played all day long. Its an album you listen to your trying to get amped up or your pissed off. Sadness, anger, rage, vicious are all words I would use to describe this album. But in spite of all that I do have some favorites: On Sight, Hold My Liquor, Blood On the Leaves, Send It Up, and Bound 2. I like these tracks, the lyrics are a still a little jarring but they are really great songs. The twists and turns of this albums records are so dramatic its just crazy how he created this.

Personally I'm just not that angry. Hearing that kind of anger pouring out of someone scares me. It really does. It makes me wonder if he didn't have this avenue to vent, how would he?

Here's what some of the critics said about "Yeezus":

Time Magazine & Consequence of Sound - "Yeezus is an album alternately metallic, manic. It is melancholy brilliant." Read more: Time.com

ABCNews Music - "It’s a pleasantly menacing record often delivered with a punk-like, venom-filled ferocity." Read more: ABCNews.com

MTV Hive - "Kanye’s sixth solo album is dedicated to his self-serving manifest destiny to cum all over the world and every Corolla driver in it; a 40-minute fever delusion of fisting, imperfect racial relations, and slow pastry service." Read more: MTVHive.com

HotNewHipHop.com - "A hybrid of many sounds and ideas, “Yeezus” is an ambitious expansion of West’s sound palette." Read more: HotNewHipHop.com

These are just a few of the reviews. See all the major and small media outlets agree, Kanye has a hit album. So all I can say is Congrats!
