    It's a Late Registration-era track.

    Easily 10/10 for me. I like the message, & i love the gloomy, jazzy production. Ye killed that s---, Paul Wall was spittin, GLC did his thing too. Just a d--- nice track in all aspects.

    7/10. I've always appreciated this song for Kanye's first verse and the production. I absolutely love it when the saxophone comes in - those parts are heavenly. I've always really liked this song but it was never one of the major standouts for me on Late Registration.

    10/10. This song took a little while to grow on me, but in the end it's my favorite track on LR. His flow in that first verse is smooth like butter.

    Week 5
    Guilt Trip - Yeezus
    ​

    Excuse the pitched up version in the video I just posted. Go listen to your own version. This is a song off Kanye's Yeezus album. It features Kid Cudi and it's produced by a whole group of people including the man himself; Kanye West, Mike Dean, S1, Travi$ Scott and Ackeejuice Rockers. The sample Kanye used from this song is off Pusha T ft. Popcaan & Travi$ Scott - Blocka (Ackeejuice Rockers Remix). Yeezy sampled this song really well, I certainly prefer his version. They used the Popcaan part for the verse of this song. GWAAN DEM A DEM A GWAAN.

    My appreciation for Yeezus is much great now than my first impressions of it. This song has definitely aged well for me. It's probably one of the songs that I visit back to the most when I listen to Yeezus. It's probably because I've overplayed the others songs. I find it such a relaxing song, Kanye and the people involved in this song really have done a good job composing it.

    This song only contains 1 verse by Kanye. He talks about a past relationship, one he messed up. He uses this line to describe it: Peekin' through the keyhole, the door locked by myself. As he looks back at what he has done. By getting over this girl he goes off and drinks, while the girl moves on and gets knocked up by his crew. Kanye done give a f---, he be rocking the fur like Chewbacca.

    Star Wars fur, yeah, I'm rockin' Chewbacca
    The one Chief Rocka, number-one Chief Rocka

    Kid Cudi finishes the song off with an interlude between the hooks. It was a nice touch to the song and relevant to the story and Kanye is still confused to why the girl left him. Can't really fault it imo, it flowed well with the song.

    Jakey's rating: 7.5/10 not his best but I quite like it, it has good replay value for me.

    Rules: Give this song a rating/10 with and optional opinion/review.

    Goodness, it's been so long since I've listened to Yeezus. I barely remember this song if I'm honest.

    The production is nice for the most part. Kanye's rapping was ok but I didn't find it to be anything special. Also, some of the vocals and vocal effects throughout the song weren't really to my taste either. It's not bad, but it's not something that stands out to me.

    5.5/10

    Guilt Trip grew to be one of the most rewarding listens on the album for me. Good write-up m8

    Love this track , felt like 808s Kanye visited Yeezus. Kanye did his thing with the verses & singing, and Cudis little spot at the end was majestic af. Both served the track well. I f--- with the production a whole lot, very futuristic, synthy, bassy, buzzy, with some retro elements as well; one of the most interesting beats i've heard Ye on.

    Imma give it 9/10. This song is f---in dope, i love every aspect of it, but he's still had better heartbreak songs than this, even if this one is incredible.

    If I'm being honest it was a bit forgettable for me but on re-listen it's pretty good.

    I'll give it an 8.2

    Not forgettable to me like others are saying, I love the production and Cudi feature. Fits in Yeezus perfectly. Enjoy your Xmas week off @Jakey

    It's some beautifully weird, dark twisted mix of Flashing Lights and Drunk and Hot Girls :allears:
