no yeezus?
Yeezus has been described as one of the most polarizing albums of the year and most of us here at MTIB were not fans of it; Some of us were (see: Top Hip-Hop Albums of 2013 List). I think music critics often associate ‘less-accessible’ with ‘genius’. I don’t think Yeezus is as ground-breaking as a lot of other critics think it is. Sometimes a tree is just a tree and sometimes aggression, simple lyrics and fantastic production is just aggression, simple lyrics and fantastic production. Just because it confuses a lot of us, doesn’t mean we’re missing something. That’s just my opinion though.
