Yeezus Christ our Lord
very hot take:
What a tough one. Kanye is one of the few artists that are impervious to hot takes. I could say he’s more important than Michael Jackson OR that he’s wild overrated. Either way I’m in the right.
To be clear, he is the most important artist of our lifetime.
favorite black + white photo:
favorite song:
*Jay-Z voice* Yo fuck you, Ryo, first and foremost. For making me do this shit. Muh'fucker.
This really has to break down into a top 3 because Kanye’s career is storied. My favorite three are a chronological redemption tale told in three acts. In it, our hero is weighed down by his own ambition and overcomes his obstacles despite himself. He even finds love at the end.
“Can’t Tell Me Nothing”
“Runaway”
“Bound 2″
least favorite song:
I’m just going to say it once: We really didn’t need “Drunk and Hot Girls.”
have i ever seen them live:
When the Yeezus tour dates were announced I saw that Seattle was the opening date and knew I had to be there.
I almost saw him once before back in, like, 2006 when my friend (now girlfriend) tried to persuade me to catch his set at Bumbershoot but I wasn’t interested. Yung Cam was an idiot.
favorite band member:
dream collaboration:
I would love to hear Yeezus team up with Zuse.
how many of their albums i have:
All hotel room bibles should be replaced with Kanye West’s discography.
I have them all, mostly on CDs.
best merch:
It’s hard to pick from the entire Yeezus collection because it’s been out for like two years and it’s still hot. I love this sweatshirt because it promotes a major performance that a ton of people petitioned against but happened anyway and was transcendent.
favorite album:
A valid argument can be made for each one but today it’s Late Registration.
