It’s funny you say at 35:51 that sometimes you write by feel, because it is 100% true that artists do that too. Pharell is a great example of that and he has said in interviews that he focuses on how to make the listener remember the feel more so than the lyrical content. But he did get sued by Marvin Gaye and LOST because it was too close to the ‘feel’ of one of his songs.

"Bound 1" was called "Nobody 2 Love" according to one of the producers, I imagine it's called Bound 2 because of the sampled being called just "Bound"

This album came out When the fashion industry didn’t accept him and Nike wouldn’t give him ownership of his own Yeezy shoe. Everyone kept telling him he was only a musician. This was him expressing his anger and giving everyone the middle finger. He was going to expand beyond just music no matter what. He then signed with Adidas and created an iconic shoe and pushed the boundaries of what a musician or anyone that’s stuck in one area can do. This was the year he had the interview with Sway “You don’t got the answers SWAY!!”

No it definitely is a concept album it legit has a pretty easy to follow narrative running through it the samples follow it the lyrics follow it and Kanye is clearly rapping in character of “Yeezus” there’s a lot more obvious details but I don’t wanna get into the nitty gritty but it’s not just a fan theory I’d recommend checking out the dissect podcast who studies music and breaks down each sample and lyrics and you can see it’s so obvious that it’s all connected as are all of Kanye’s albums
Justaguy
2022-02-10 20:55:47 +0000 UTC
Kanye said he made and released this when he was upset with the fashion industry for trying to block him out.. that’s where the anger comes from in all the sounds… famously said “the only real piece of music I gave you on yeezus was bound 2”

Very cool video. I am glad Kevin has expressed that he is not the biggest fan of certain albums, but does it respectfully. You guys also switched positions which fucked me up lol. Still miss the plants, but love the set up. I hope you guys do Pinata, Clippng and Damn or Good Kid Mad City. Those are some of my favorite albums/artists. Little Sims Grey Area is a great album too that I think Kevin would like. When you guys were talking about the samples a cool one is the Michael jackson PYT sample on Good Life by Kanye West.

Please ignore anyone saying Yeezus is a concept album lmao. Of course you can interpret it that way, but it’s nothing more than a Youtube/Reddit fan theory. The album was cut to 10 tracks by Rick Rubin last minute so maybe it was originally intended to be more conceptual, but Kanye has never explicitly spoken about it.

Interesting what your dad said about the cutting of the album. Probably already got mentioned but Daft Punk have credits on loads of the songs here, apparently Kanye brought in Rick Rubin to help him cut the album down and the original version was three and a half hours long. He famously called Rubin "not a producer, he's a reducer" in the Zane Lowe interview.
Show your dad too the famous image from when they are making MBDTF when Kanye has all the signs up in Hawaii in the studio behind him, I think he'd love that picture

Every Kanye album is a depiction of his life at the moment. At this point in time Ye was trying to get on in the fashion industry and the white higher ups in the industry wouldn’t allow him to do that. Nike wouldn’t give him a deal for his shoe he made for them that made them a shit ton of money and he barely got shit for it. Later on in 2015 adidas actually gave Kanye the chance and the rest is history he’s not the richest black man in American history because of it.

King Louie is one if the originators of Chicago drill music, Kanye seeked out Chief Keef and King Louie purposely because he wanted to incorporate drill music (which was brand new at the time). King Louie had a solid independent career but things went down south once Drake never fulfilled his promise to sign King L to OVO. King L even got the OVO owl tattooed on his face and everything. King Louie was shot in the head a few years back and has been quiet on the music scene ever since.

Another cool curiosity about Bound 2 and a boy is a gun is that besides sampling the same music, the original Bound 1 was also produced by Tyler the Creator. And The Weeknd played Bound 1 in a recent episode from his radio station (Memento Mori Ep. 18, 32 minutes).

Yeezus is 100% a grower. Think about it as if it was an opera or a Shakespeare play. Its a comedic tragedy. On sight opens up with a grand sound and throughout the album we get scenes black skinned head with the lead characters first real broad and loud appearance. We get a look into his beliefs in new laves and we learn his weaknesses in hold my liquor. Blood on the leaves is a confession of love and how easy it can be lost. The next two tracks lead to fixing wrongs in a comedic fashion and bound2 is it’s beautiful tragic ending.

The main sample that Kanye used in Bound 2 is from Bound by Ponderosa Twins Plus One. Tyler later went and sampled it for A BOY IS A GUN off of IGOR (the vocal snippet that goes "started with a mere hello" and a little bit extra after that). Also Charlie Wilson was originally the lead singer of The Gap Band.

my best friend from high school passed away a couple years ago, him and I sat and listened to this together in school and bought tickets for the tour as soon as they were available. the concert was just as amazing as the album. watching kevins reactions brought me back to how we felt when we heard this. i appreciate you guys so much. thank you for helping relive memories like that. (side note: i cannot wait for connor to finally show his dad Faces, it's my favourite project of all time and I think Kevin would love the lyrical aspect of the album)
Nick Dunnington
2022-02-10 05:30:28 +0000 UTC
I could be wrong, but I want to say at the time of this album, I think he was trying to break into high fashion. Yeezus was in part his frustration, middle finger, F*** you, I'm gonna tear the establishment down, and watch what Im capable of, to the high class fashion gatekeepers who only saw him as a "black rapper" that wouldn't give him a seat at the table. He broke down the doors...

*fully understand. Of course you know the basics, probably more than the average person given your background and understanding of music, but the dichotomy between the two acts is so unique in hip hop.
Ezra Haskard
2022-02-10 05:17:05 +0000 UTC
Kev, your appreciation for sampling has wholly convinced me that once you hear Pinata or Madvillainy you’ll understand the symbiotic relationship between a rapper and a producer. Most albums you guys have reacted to so far have been largely self produced, but these two albums will divide your perception of hip hop. In hip hop more than most genres producers can often be as famous, if not more than the rappers they work with as you guys reach newer albums you’ll begin to recognize some the top producers through producer tags, and soon a tagline at the beginning of a song from a producer you like will feel the same as hearing Cudis heartwarming vocalizations. You’re only on the tip of the iceberg, and I can’t wait for you to see what lies deeper. Especially exited for you to hear Madlib’s production. I truly love both MF Doom and Freddie Gibbs, but I am immeasurably excited for you to hear the musical genius who is Madlib. In terms of production done by a single man, he’s unmatched, and in terms of teams of producers culminating on an album, you guys haven’t even scratched the surface. Excited to watch your journey of discovery.

King Louie is an early drill Chicago staple that I believe met Kanye through the Don't Like remix. Drilluminati tapes are probably the most well known but unless you're into drill they're nothing crazy.

This is my favorite album. Perfect from top to bottom.
Kanye was mad as fuck during the making of this, he was trying to get established in fashion and seen as a 'designer' but he was being treated as a 'rapper', hence his response: I AM A GOD. IIRC this was the beginning of the 'public ranting' phase. It was also at the start of his relationship with Kim.
This article sets the context pretty well IMO: https://www.wmagazine.com/story/kanye-west-on-kim-kardashian-and-his-new-album-yeezus
This shit cracks me up:
Jenner’s rapport with West evinces equal parts jokey affection and in-law awkwardness. He plays her some of his unfinished songs, including “Awesome,” which is clearly about Kim. When she exclaims, “Great job!” West doesn’t find it as flattering as Jenner evidently intended. He raises his eyebrows. “Great job?” he says and sets off on a comic riff that cracks up everyone in the room. Toasting with his champagne glass, he says, “Great job, Baccarat, for making a glass that can hold liquid!” He looks down at his waist. “Great job, belt loops, for keeping my pants up!” Jenner laughs off the mockery but soon is ready to leave.
