Ok, I love "The Blacker the Berry" ... A lot. Listening to the song is actually making me feel pretty awesome about that album cover after all. Some seriously powerful topics and messages in that song. Gives the album more of a guerrilla feel... I hope most of the record is angry and scathing like "TBTB." So... I kinda hope "i" is the only "i-like" song around.
Also, can't get enough of "All Day" and "Wolves."
Listening to all the guest bits Ye's throwing into these recent songs, is it possible that So Help Me God is going to end up being like a bizarre second act to MBDTF, just as Yeezus was described by many as being the antithesis, or equal opposite of 808's & Heartbreak?
All Day certainly had the maximalist Yeezy feel. 808's was minimal and stark, but it had instrumental/sonic themes and it felt self-contained. Yeezus was like an application of the minimalist makeover to the buzzsaw bombast of MBDTF and WTT, but the delivery and the product were closer to 808's than either of those other albums. It was like 808&HB's evil twin.
Could So Help Me God be MBDTF's ... Uhh... GOOD twin? (No pun was really intended until I realized it was gonna happen, at which point I smiled and decided to let it happen anyway, so saying "no pun intended" would be a lie.)
Curiouser...
