Kanye West: Yeezus season approachin'...

Mister Jake Bogart's analytical review of Yeezus reveals several of Kanye West's artistic choices while also objectively describing its controversial aspects. Bogart cleverly predicts the album's reception to be either "a hit or miss" because of its creative yet risqué techniques. For one, West has chosen to be risky in the sense that he includes a variety of genres. Bogart points fingers at the auto-tune techno feel of "Blood On The Leaves" in contrast with the real genre-fitting hip-hop song "Hold My Liquor." Interestingly, Yeezus includes a variety of different themes, ranging from drunken ballads to love songs, taking listeners on a roller coaster of varying emotions. Bogart's credibility in the rap music genre is clearly exemplified through his album review, as he makes references to the general conventions of hip-hop and previous Kanye West albums, such as 808's and Heartbreak. He goes into depth about Kanye's "god" complex as being an arrogant yet interesting title that the artist is now forced to live up too. A round of applause should go to Bogart for his innate ability to write an engaging album review for both rap music fans and Kanye West fanatics.
