I finally get what he was going for lyrically now too.. as you pointed out, he's always had absurd lines even back in the College Dropout days ("I always had a Ph.D.: a Pretty Huge Dick" could've easily made it to TLOP), but they were often blended with some other shit. This is the first album where he finally said "fuck it" to trying to appeal to the average listener and deliver a message, and just decided to be himself the whole way through without fear. Yeezus served as the bridge because it still had New Slaves. This album is basically a journey through Kanye's craziest/darkest thoughts.
