    Chad Warden As Ballin As Possible

    1. 808s
    2. MBDTF
    3. Graduation

    Really don't know why 808s is Chad's favorite. Part of it has to do with the times. Synched up with C-Wizzy's life.

    I rate 808s as one of his worst, but I would still give it a 9/10. Flawless discog.

    Well the fact people like Chad can hate Yeezus, and love 808s, when others are the exact opposite, is telling of Kanye's versatility. Most rappers have a consensus best album, Kanye isn't most "rappers"...he's an artist. Immune to lanes.

    this might sound weird but only after accepting "I Am A God" did i capture the essence and genius of Yeezus. I swear THAT track is the do or die, the gateway to another realm.

    Felt ecstatic when i finally got it the third time and couldn't stop trance-dancing like a swagged up bouncing ball when the bass of that song came on.

    Chad's about 4 listens into it.

    Think C-Wizzy exaggarated how many times he listened to it before.

    Frustrating that Chad can't connect with a Kanye project. Cringe question, but any tips on "absorbing" it? Or is it just a perspective thing?

    You really really really have to believe Kanye is a smart human being who has something really interesting to say.

    Also, if you've had a recent frustrating experience try to recall those feelings as you listen to IAAG specifically and also the album in general.

    it may just not vibe that well with you and your tastes

    it's very electronic and distorted and raw sounding to me as a project, with s--- tons of bass, which is why it appeals to me, but that may be sonically a turn off for you so

    that's the thing man

    Chad f---s with glitch hop and some industrial s---

    the distortion shouldn't be a problem but for some stupid reason it is for C-Wizzy on Yeezus.

    Kanye did his BEST to sound as offputting as possible.

    Be advised, imo everything on this album has a deeper layer.

    THAT'S why it's so minimal. Everything has a duality, a doubt, a questionmark, a tremble, a shiver. It's genius man :emoji_cry:

    Chad's got a bit of bud here and an hour to k---, guess C-Wizzy's giving it another try. Bless me Yeezus.

    I agree with @Chad Warden. Yeezus is my least favourite Kanye album and I hope his next will be different (but it will I think).

    However, yeezus is nontheless a great album and it says a lot about how amazing the guy is
