I vividly remember waitressing at this birthday party back in the day, and when the DJ dropped a tune I\u2019d never heard\u2013All Falls Down\u2013I considered walking right out the door, then and there to go and discover more about this Kanye West, and his questioning of consumerism through song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The thing is, his production, his arrangements and his sheer musicality are just undeniably impactful. His mastery of weaving tunes from so many different eras together and collaborating with numerous artists speaks volumes about his mad skills for his craft. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Album wise, The College Dropout was a winner, and a timely debut, followed by Late Registration and Graduation. Each album had a bit of everything: soul, character, smooth grooves and dance tunes, meaning he was reaching the masses, and I was digging a whole lot of what he was putting out.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Kanye West - Runaway (Full-length Film)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jg5wkZ-dJXA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I moved abroad my musical interests became taken over by Korean hip-hop, so I wasn\u2019t really listening to most of his new albums for a bit, plus I found I wasn\u2019t enjoying them as much anyway. (Side bar: When I\u2019ve re-listened to them all of late however, each one paints a clear picture of what was going on in both his life and socially, and I\u2019m actually getting more enjoyment now. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is AMAZING. That piano on Runaway alone, and All of the Lights with Rihanna and Kid Cudi &#8211; just.so.good!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But as the star grew brighter, scandal of Kerry Washington proportions hit and that damn celebrity life added fuel to the fire, meaning people started becoming divided over their feelings for him. His attack on everyone\u2019s fave country star-turned-pop-wonder Taylor Swift didn\u2019t help, but then there were those comments. Yes, you know the ones I\u2019m talking about. The ones about slavery on TMZ that completely (and understandably) were met with anger, disgust and even hate from some of his biggest fans and collaborators.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why you need to give it a listen<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apparently he was in the middle of another album when the TMZ storm hit and eventually went to Wyoming to record Ye, which, to me clarifies the meaning behind some of his thoughts. Also he discloses his bi polar disorder, or his super power as he refers to it\u2013love!\u2013pretty early into the album, and that says a lot. Yet critics have largely had nothing great to say about the album, and I think that some of them need to rethink their career choices because Ye is almost impossible to fault, PLUS there are songs on it, like my fave No Mistakes, that last just two minutes. That in itself is genius, and the guys in the video below, one a metalhead new to hip hop, have some choice words for the album too.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Kanye West - Ye - Wouldn&#039;t Leave METALHEAD REACTION TO HIP HOP\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ocm54eOiCU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anyway, Ye is, in my opinion, sensational. Lyrically, it harks back to that early Kanye that you knew and loved, but it also shows growth, as he confronts his mistakes in that amazing way he has of piecing words together beautifully. At a run time of just 23 minutes, there are only seven tracks on it, so I\u2019m going to quickly break down the highlights with some bullets for you below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Take a break and listen to Kanye West&#8217;s Ye (then listen to it again)<\/b><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> I Thought About Killing You<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Draw your own conclusions. Some say diss on Kim, I say, he&#8217;s speaking metaphorically about his battle with mental illness.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This track reeks of controversy with lyrics like: &#8220;The most beautiful thoughts are always beside the darkest.&#8221; Dark thoughts people, but I actually think that this truth talk is really good in terms of helping the wider public understand a bit more about the burden of living with bi polar.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Yikes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the second track, Kanye talks openly about his bi polar, even going as far as to say \u201c&#8230;sometimes I scare myself\u201d and \u201c&#8230;that\u2019s my superpower, ain\u2019t no disability; I\u2019m a superhero.\u201d But Yikes is so much more than that. Love the melodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> All Mine<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fans (or haters) of the Kardashian clan will love this for the INSANE rap and the lyrics that speak to Tristan Thompson&#8217;s infidelity etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Wouldn\u2019t Leave<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every time this comes on when I\u2019m walking this song puts a giant smile on my face. It\u2019s the song I would want my musically inclined lover to write for me (no offense to the person that sleeps in my bed, who would be the first to say that he\u2019s musically challenged.) It\u2019s a smooth slow jam with some riffing beats in the middle, and those lyrics are just fire. The orchestration, the melodies\u2013just amazing. And it also tells the story of the day he filmed that infamous TMZ interview, so&#8230; you know.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> No Mistakes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Again. I\u2019m picking up that classic Kanye on this beauty (another fave of mine.) I&#8217;m obsessed with the intro that moves from dark and eerie to this upbeat kick, and the old school vibes on this thrill.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Ghost Town<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Featuring Shake, Kid Cudi and John Legend, the sound wall that West builds on this track with guitars and other instruments is just magical. This is slick production and storytelling at its very best.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> Violent Crimes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>An ode to women and his daughters in particular. As a women, I will take it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Look, I may sound like some kind of Kanye West superfan here, but I really am not. I just think this album is quite something, and I think it\u2019s way too easy for haters to hate, hate, hate. I\u2019m not fancy enough to have Spotify Premium, but if you do, whack it on and listen from start to finish, then let me know what you think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also, find out why I&#8217;m <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/why-im-bringing-hugging-back-heart-to-heart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bringing hugging back<\/a> and you are going to want to get ready for <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/review-of-sharp-objects-the-tv-show-hbo-gillian-flynn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharp Objects the TV show<\/a> coming soon on HBO.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kanye West&#8217;s Ye album deserves your time However you feel about Kanye West and the con.tro.ver.sy (said in Prince voice) that often follows as a result of his comments and actions, there\u2019s no denying that man got skills.
