If it didnt start a trend, define a genre, or impact music or culture in any extremely significant way....its not classic
no matter how good or bad or popular it is
Pic Related is Kanye's most controversial album. It brought experimental to the mainstreams attention and allowed normies to enjoy that kind of music. It influenced mainstream hip hop so much that trap production started becoming weirder and darker. It spawned the whole autotune darkwave rap.
It will also probably be Kanye's last good or interesting album, which is important because hes one of the most famous, if not the mots famous rapper of this age.

Trap was already doing spooky dark beats before Yeezus. In fact, there's zero signs of this on this record as it doesn't sound trappy at all.
Not sure who you were refencring with auto tune Darkwave rap, but: Thugger had already done three or four mix tapes before Yeezus where you can hear him do his delivery style, Future had like Tenno tapes and a full length before Yeezus, and Travis Scott released two or three mix tapes before Kanye signed him to put him on Yeezus. You can't give Yeezus credit for innovation since it's obviously not true, neither can you give it credit for making the sound mainstream cuz Futures 2012 album Pluto debuted at #8 and helped make the sound popular first. It's also not the first atonal raw hip hop record to gain mainstream attention. That would probs be It Takes A Nation Of Millions.
Brayden Bennett
Im not saying the record had any Trap on it you dumb fuck. Owl Pharoah defined Travis's sound and it was Literally a Poverty Yeezus "hehe kanye signed me look guys i sound like him" project. When the fuck did I say anything about Young Thugs delivery style, or anything about Future. And when the fuck did I say it was the first popular hip hop record with autotune.
Christian Gomez
no it didnt fucing spaceghostpurrp was making darker beats same with fucking clams casino i swear kanye fans are legit deluded fags don't forget fucking witch house
Alexander Green

Isaac Perry
Stop trying to shill yeezus dear god. You literally post 3 yeezus threads a day
Benjamin Brown
lmao not only a kanye fan but resorts to racist insult when his shitty thread has zero credibility due to his lack of awareness
yeezus was a failure.
Sebastian Hughes
Yeezus is a death grips album

Nolan Phillips

The Suns Tirade and Cilvia Demo To Pimp a Butterfly and GKMC B4.DA.$$ Pinata XXX and Atrocity Exhibition YOU'RE DEAD! The Documentary 2&2.5
Connor Ortiz
The Suns Tirade isnt classic at all, just good, same thing with Cilvia TPAB isnt classic, GKMC is B4DA$$ isnt classic, just a good and essential hip hop album Atrocity Exhibition isnt a classic, just good Neither Documentaries are classic or even close to being classic,
Charles Edwards
You can't deny it, especially because within a year there was "Because The Internet"
Wyatt Nguyen
>Atrocity Exhibition isnt a classic Atrocity Exhibition is what Yeezus wishes it was.
Caleb Wilson
Life of Pablo seems more impactful because Ultralight Beam revived gospel music
Justin Edwards
retard
I dont care if Atrocity Exhibition is 10000x better than Yeezus its still nowhere near as important or influential, and never will be
Joseph Anderson
>essential hip hop album >not a classic Explain this.
Logan Lee
HOLY FUCKING SHIT I HOPE THIS IS BAIT
I think that was the first audible laugh I got outta this board today

Carter Diaz
Its the most popular and accessible example of 2010s boom bap
It didnt really start much, change much, or influence much. I would just recommend it to someone whos trying to get into 2010s hip hop
Charles Nelson
So it's a classic when it makes big changes to a genre? Am I understanding that correctly?
Tyler Mitchell
The fact that people have been arguing non stop about Yeezus being classic or not proves that its a classic
/thread
Charles Cruz
Life of Pablo revived gospel and lo-fi, stay mad. What did Yeezus revive?
Landon Bell
Think about it this way
If you went in a time machine and removed the album from existence, would much about the genre or the culture or anything change?
Eli Rodriguez
So if people universally agreed it was a classic, then it wouldn't make it a classic?
Charles Moore
holy fucking hell lmaoooo
you made me laugh when you said it revived Gospel but I can at least see your thought process behind typing that. But fucking Lo-Fi?????
Nigga What????
Joshua Moore
did you think this was a smart reply when you typed it
do you still think it makes sense reading it back to yourself?

Here we have an example of someone with an IQ lower than 80 attempting to discuss music
please tell me more about this lo-fi business
Jordan James
>Short for low fidelity. Refers to music made with 8bit sound computer such as chipmusic or chiptunes. Audio that is crunchy and gravely and usually demostraties a poor nyquist frequency.
Go listen to how gravely the song is, Mr. High IQ

Alexander Rivera
jesus christ you are so dumb you cant even recognize what Im arguing with you about
Daniel Bennett
Blonde is more influential
Cameron Richardson
I agree with most of these, but what makes RTJ a classic?
Liam Foster
Maybe it is if we are looking at Industrial/Experimental Hip Hop
But Hip Hop as a whole? Nah. Music as a whole? No fucking way
Jordan Ward
Yeezus didn't start the trend of dark trap, it started the trend of post industrial UK bass, which was popularized after Yeezus.
Noah Wright
It's had a lot of influence on moodier and softer hip/hop and R&B,and will definitely be more influential than Channel Orange. Unfortunately. we've seen way more influence on music so far from Channel Orange and that's merely due to time

Can you give some examples of artists/albums channel orange and blonde have influenced? Not arguing with you, I'm genuinely curious.
Andrew Hernandez
>It will also probably be Kanye's last good or interesting album
What makes you think this?
Carson Mitchell
Im not the guy you replyed to but...
Ever since Blonde dropped, this is gonna sound dumb but
Music is alot gayer. Im not even joking. Its like Frank started this softboy wave that ended up influencing Rap and Indie Rock, then Tyler dropped Flower Boy and the wave skyrocketed through the fucking roof
now everybody is gay and soft and colorful and shit
Isaiah Lopez
f-f-female?
Austin Gray
Experimental music had already been introduced to the mainstream long before that coon. The Downward Spiral went gold, like 9,001 times.
Cameron Johnson
How many people in this fucking generation know that album exist
Jaxson Myers
fuck ur right, i listened to blonde once and now i crave dick

Yeezus was easily his worst album.
Jace Young
Yeezus is just diet Maya. M.I.A was pushing the sound, and doing a far better job with it well earlier than Kanye. Yeezus isn't an indisputable classic at all, it's just overrated by you p4k shills.
