I don’t just listen to the lyrics; I also listen to the production, creative inputs, and I try to always decipher what state of mind the artist would have been in while recording the song. Being an avid listener of music with playlists ranging from Mozart’s Symphonies to Everly Brothers Country to Rakim’s the God Mc to Nigerian Afropop, I think I consider myself a very blessed listener.
Indeed I’m blowing my trumpet hehe #NoHomo no quip expected either except for I wear pay attention to melodies sha so I can beat my chest with an individual assortment of more than 600 Collections and mixtapes Yaaay! So how about we get in directly to business, this survey is essentially my viewpoint yet to reach this resolution I’ve examined conclusions, watched meetings of chiefs of significant record names and industry heads like Rick Rubin( Island def jam), Joiie Manda( Previous Def Jam President, as of now Interscope President South), Makers like DDot, Mike dignitary and numerous noticeable pundits in the Us scene and put them next to each other with my viewpoints to think of this audit. My attention is on five albums that have blessed us in the past two months: Yeezus, Magna Carta, Born Sinner, The Gifted, and Watching movies without sound.
Yeezus vs. MCHG (Magna Carta Holy Grail): I chose these two because they have more similarities than we would like to admit. They also have differences in their own right, but they are both works by members of the supergroup “The Throne.” First, Kanye West, the self-acclaimed rebel, released no single for radio promo or video before dropping the album. Jay Z, on the other hand, used only a transparent album case with the deluxe having a gold inner A virtuoso approach to handling the lessening deals of rap collections in the Unified states..now exclusively here’s my interpretation of the two collections.
Yeezus: This is not the first time Kanye has veered off from his usual path of straight hiphop to give us something “Leftist” or Fascist to the essence of hiphop; if I may add, he did so with 808 And Heartbreaks despite criticism from fans and fellow rappers, which later turned out to be a smash hit album as it grew on listeners. In keeping with the strain of enlightenment that is creeping in this year, Kanye West
Yeezus is for people who just like music. Based on the tactics used in the campaign and the push for promotion, I didn’t expect a typical Kanye West rap album, which may be why I wasn’t disappointed. At his listening party in Basel, Switzerland, he said, “The album was for music lovers and I think crafted an album against the norm, saying f**k you to the status quo and and white capitalists, this is something for you to dance to at discos and when you work out and just enjoy.” Since Daft Punk was involved in the process of making the album, it is more of a fusion of trance, electro-rap, and punk than it is of pure hip
Strong areas of social critique adjust essentially every Kanye West delivery. Here the Social equality references return just now considerably more incendiary, driving the edges to the edge of break. Which might make sense of the collection’s curtness. The collection loaded up with verses themed with dark mindfulness, hostile to white private enterprise yet certain tunes radiate braggadocio with verses like She said ‘Might you at any point get my companions in the club?’/ Can you get my Benz into the club, I asked? When I go raw, I like to leave it in…Yeezus just rose again. What makes West’s sixth solo album compelling despite its gaggle of haunting shrieks and leftist production is that Kanye manages to remain as entertaining as ever. If not, treat your friends like my Benz. Park them ass outside until the end of the evening. The relationship lyric “When a real nigga hold you down / You’re supposed to drown” from the 2013 album “Bound 2” may be the most genuine song ever written. Yeezus also becomes increasingly addictive with each listen, indicating a high potential for replay value for such a disconnected first spin. This charming degree of context oriented and sonic pressure puts the venture in craftsmanship piece an area, addressing a barbed establishment added to West’s practically all exemplary performance list. With its made-for-club fornication commentary, reggae inspiration, and hilarious “I be speaking Swag-Hili” musings, “I’m In It” quickly embeds itself Indian-style into the eardrum thanks to Chief Keef’s slurred hook, which perfectly accentuates the sublime depiction of a drunken excursion to an ex-girlfriend’s home in search of reconciliation. Furthermore, assuming there’s one tune that should be heard right away, it’s “Blood On The Leaves.” Inserting components of Nina Simone’s isolation period ditty, “Abnormal Natural product” with the lofty horns from C-Murder’s “Down For My Niggas.
For a collection that took 2hours to lay the vast majority of its center vocals admitted by Rick Rubin, Its a clashing story as the uproarious screeches and outrage pointless excess filled the collections as he truly diverted his other dim energy from his collection to take his “Dull Curved Dream” into another tail spin..so in the event that you are not the sort of audience open to new sounds and probing music however prefers to avoid any and all risks you off limits like am by any stretch of the imagination as my companion will say.
I find it astonishing that specific Nigerian audience members have the guts to connect this collection with wackness, I think that it is absolutely hostile despite the fact that I’m a respecter of conclusions and the right to speak freely of discourse. Jay Z’s thirteenth collection is a contribution of life span, importance, development and development as an individual and as an artiste. Althoug the collection probably won’t have as much arguments as Yeezus its splendor as well as blemishes are all around noticed.

Jay Z went in on this collection with a laid back flow,so much certainty and self fufilment off being a succesful Dad, spouse, rapper and financial specialist. So I want to connect with his mindstate while chipping away at this collection. While the collection may be filled with as much name dropping and self-hatred as would be considered normal with each Jay Z works like Paradise dazzled me with Jay Z having the option to offset otherworldly contemplations with vocation and Parenthood, La Familia showing Jay z attempting to stir up his coarse road past actually attempting to let you know he may be on the Forbes Cover yet he actually is a miscreant and knows hooligans and the roads with verses focused on Lil Wayne and Birdman as a tricky answer to Lil Wayne’s “Grab your b**ch,get that the amount you love your woman cash” line on the Carter 4 Tune highlighting Drake and Jadakiss, tunes like Picasso,Beach is better having the typical opulence themed Jay Z verses… While this probably won’t be his best contribution expressively or anything near his main 5 I value the collection as a group of work having the option to communicate Jay Z’s development and development and keeping in mind that some may resent him utilizing sluggish southern supplement stop stream equivalent to New York’s French Montana I’m content with him not underestimating imagination and giving us an exceptionally soggy collection with weak verses like Lil Wayne did on Carter 4. The craving level wasn’t quite so high as we’d expect however come on with somebody with 13 number one albums(Watch The Lofty position comprehensive) I think offering us a fair rap collection with common risqué remarks, splendid creation and shrewd similitudes ought to score Jay Z a passmark.
