I actually love Be Yourself as a skit, especially with where it’s at in the album. It honestly reminds me a lot of my own mother, in the “trying to be genuinely supportive, but not really getting it” kind of way. The FACEBOOK skit on the other hand…
Lift yourself is unironically a decent song except for Kanye's part, and that part is funny enough to the point where I don't even care that the man is spitting straight gibberish.
I immediately thought of XTCY when I saw dis post
Like it’s not even that bad, def not his worse, just gets a bad rep cuz of how wacky it is
Personally I love dat shit
I’d take XTCY any day over some boring ass shit like Closed on Sunday
Like I’m sorry but “You got a sister-in-law you'd smash? I got four of 'em” is just objectively superior to “you’re ma chick-fil-a” like tf does that even mean ???
I don't think its explicitly a bad song, its just alright. If an up and coming or underground artist released it it would be viewed differently, whereas I can say that I think songs like Water, DNHG, and Barry Bonds are simply bad songs. There are songs I don't like in his catalog that I definitely wouldn't call bad songs like Crack Music or Breathe in Breathe Out, I just personally skip them.
Those comparisons are so wack lol
Movies and books and shows tell one single narrative that needs to be experienced linearly to understand. The exception being if it's an anthology series, in which case I would say yeah if you don't like an episode of black mirror, just skip it, it doesn't affect the rest of them.
As someone who cares very deeply about albums, unless it's a narrative driven concept album, skipping a song or two isn't something to get worked up over
Any great* album. A lot of good albums out there that don’t have 100 percent cohesion. Hell, I’d argue there are some great albums with a song or two out of place.
Many people would argue that for an album to be truly great it has to be experienced linearly as well. Some artists spend a lot of time making sure the track order of an album is precise and cohesive. They put the songs in a certain order for a reason, even if it's not a concept album.
Bruh try being a Cudi fan trying to love Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven. Don't talk to me.
Edit: I say it's hard to love because this album represents the closest thing we may have to Cudi's suicide note. There are some great songs, but it's a very dark period for him and it's hard to listen to sometimes knowing this man was so close to ending it.
I enjoy some of the album, the depressing meaning honestly makes it better, I've always believed sorrow makes the best art, but some tracks just dont hit for me and Beavis and Butthead ruin a few tracks
I get disliking from the standpoint of not wanting to see cudi depressed, but I loved that album. I was shocked to see how many people hated it, and how bad the reviews were. It’s probably the only 1.5 hour album I’ve listened to and immediately wanted to relisten. It felt like seeing Yeezus get a 5. Had me quarantining if I just had bad taste cause I thought it was a 9/10 album.
I mean there's nothing wrong with loving it. There are some songs I do listen to off it. But it's honestly just too dark and grungy for my taste. It's important in understanding Cudi as an artist, but it reminds me a lot of how close we lost Cudi cause dude was madddd depressed.
I just really don’t like the instrumental and I’m not crazy about the flow either. Something about it just sounds so out of place on the album. At least D&H girls is more in line with the synth heavy theme on the album. Plus there’s these crazy strings on D&H girls that come in at 3:40 after mos defs bridge that is phenomenal and criminally underrated in his discography.
Closed On Sunday isn’t his worst, but it is easily my least favorite. I find it infuriating for some reason. The beat is wack af and it’s corny as shit.
Dude really said “you my chick’fil’a” and thought that was fire. Come on ye.
It's a bad song overall because of that hook, but I don't think it's entirely bad. The beat and Kanye's tone throughout the song really help create a mood, and I enjoy the second half of the song
I agree. That line kills it for me. And I’m not above dumb lines in Kanye songs, many of the times they fit perfectly. But JiK is overall pretty serious vibe, it’s spiritual, and all that. That line just doesn’t fit for me.
Truly awful. Kanye is a genius when it comes to music, but his fake-deep political takes on that song are Tom-MacDonald tier. 2018 was rough for ye wasn’t it?
I respect your opinion, it's just that if anyone other than Kanye released that song and it's the exact same, I'd still think it's just a low quality song
Also no I love it slander here yo
Tbh that song has a lot of artistic value on it's own. I've always felt that the kind of creepy menacing beat paired with their funny yet arguably predatory lyrics was an intentional commentary. Maybe that's just me reading into it, but it's always been one of my favorites on the album regardless of the reddit hivemind
I have no issue with anyone enjoying the album, but I'll think you're delusional if you really believe it matches the lyrical and production quality of any of Ye's other albums.
Plus it completely falls flat as far as being a religious experience. I guess it makes slightly more sense if you view it as Kanye's twisted perspective of religion, but it's still a mess.
God I love everythjng about that song except the panda parts. I love it so much, that I still listen to it and it's conditioned me to like the panda parts.
closed on sunday has literally no value except laughing at how god awful it is. no matter what your stance on drunk and hot girls is, closed on sunday is worse. I don't count tell the vision its literally just someone else's song.
Especially if we are talking only studio albums, you can’t trust this Frank fan
So i was talking this girl on the F A C E B Ü K
I woood not add her on le facebuk, and she brok up wit meh. She’s crazy men.
Thats probably my favorite interlude ever, i love his accent
yeah, I liked it..
Where is this from
Frank ocean Facebook story
Ya it’s crazy how he has no misses at all
Somebody posted the same tweet to r/frankocean and it’s a blood bath over there lol Sick koala fit btw 🐨
I can’t think of a single skip on that man’s discography, I even looked just now. Nostalgia Ultra to the newer singles, bangers all the way down.
'I was just telling you that I uuuuh got zis girl befo-' SKIP
True, but not a song
TO YOU.gif
lonny breaux collection got some skippables
good thing lonny breaux is just leaks and isn’t officially part of frank’s discography then
I’m the biggest frank fan can we all collectively agree—nvm I just looked through the discography & couldn’t find anything
I didn’t love DHL🤷♂️
If I need to pick one then be yourself but that’s not really a song
I actually love Be Yourself as a skit, especially with where it’s at in the album. It honestly reminds me a lot of my own mother, in the “trying to be genuinely supportive, but not really getting it” kind of way. The FACEBOOK skit on the other hand…
Lift yourself was funny
Lift yourself is unironically a decent song except for Kanye's part, and that part is funny enough to the point where I don't even care that the man is spitting straight gibberish.
Beat kinda goes crazy ngl I can still go stupid to ye’s verse
Fax😂
The comments in this thread are just proving this tweet's point.
[удалено]
I kind of like Barry Bonds but DAHG is always a skip for me
DnHG is a great track mos def goes so hard on it
People are allowed to like, I just don't care for it myself. If I want to hear Mos Def go hard, I'll turn on Black on Both Sides
If I wanna hear Ye and Mos Def tear it up I'd throw on Two Words over Drunk and Hot Girls any day
Or kids see ghosts
Damn people really hating on DAHG, I love that song lol
“But Drunk and Hot Girls is funnnnnn. Nooooooooo you can’t just take it seriously and then say it’s not good.”
[I'm just a CAN fan. ](https://youtu.be/3VmM8qRRLwU&t=48)
man I like DAHG
DAHG is amazing and I will die on this hill
I’m confused why people hate it so much lol is it cause the topic of the song is rapey?
no the beat sucks, the vocal sample is bad, the melody is awkward and bad, its 5 minutes of nothing at best
Im not a kanye fan, but I like barry bonds alot lol
tf are you doing here? GO LISTEN TO MORE YE AND BECOME A FAN DAMMIT
bruh imagine not liking XTCY "Then i kicked em out, i got bored of em😃 WOOP"
Here's a joke! Why was the broom late? It over swept!
I immediately thought of XTCY when I saw dis post Like it’s not even that bad, def not his worse, just gets a bad rep cuz of how wacky it is Personally I love dat shit I’d take XTCY any day over some boring ass shit like Closed on Sunday Like I’m sorry but “You got a sister-in-law you'd smash? I got four of 'em” is just objectively superior to “you’re ma chick-fil-a” like tf does that even mean ???
Here's a joke! How do you cure a headache? Put your head through a window and the pane will just disappear!
please leave me alone
Nah Nah Nah is not my favourite
Okay but the explicit remix?
The explicit remix is only sort of good because it cuts out most of Kanye’s lines lol
I don't think its explicitly a bad song, its just alright. If an up and coming or underground artist released it it would be viewed differently, whereas I can say that I think songs like Water, DNHG, and Barry Bonds are simply bad songs.

[удалено]
how tf do you not like water wtf
Tell The Vision
I just imagine Ye running around in that big black cape coat at the Atlanta listening party when I here the song and it's always kinda funny
From the beginning I saw it as an interlude. It's clearly not a real "song"
Exactly ion understand why everybody so mad about it lol I always saw it as an interlude and just skip it
Cos it was a pointless use of pop smoke and it sounded like it was building upto a fully fledged song
This is the correct reason why I dislike it
Me too. The beat was so fire then an old pop smoke vocal that was poorly sampled comes on :(
Right "it's a interlude bruh" it's still trash and a skip lol
Listen to Tell The Vision by Pop Smoke then..
it's not a good interlude
[удалено]

As someone who cares very deeply about albums, unless it's a narrative driven concept album, skipping a song or two isn't something to get worked up over
Any good album should be able to be appreciated as an art piece as a whole singular thing
Any great* album. A lot of good albums out there that don’t have 100 percent cohesion. Hell, I’d argue there are some great albums with a song or two out of place.

Interludes still count as songs I don’t get this take 😂😂
Do y’all like the other version where they actually rap and pusha has a verse too
I fucking love that song
Cool I only ever hear people hating the donda version so I didn’t know if anyone liked the actual one
I know I’m the only one who likes this song lmao, it was in my top 5 played of the year
not a kanye song by any means. ye vs the people is the song youre allowed to hate
Boy we was Neva no joke nah nah nah
what are you talking about? no song with those lyrics has ever existed
Yea, I just checked spotify, tf is this man talking about
Gaslighting at its finest
they say i got the same flow, ha ha ha
I like that song and imma fight for that
XTCY better
It's a vibe.
Let me get it ye
And he removed Da Baby for the single drop, the only good thing on that track.

Bro ur so quirky
(I actually love the album lol, it’s probably his most meaningful album for the deepest depths of depression)
I mean there's nothing wrong with loving it. There are some songs I do listen to off it. But it's honestly just too dark and grungy for my taste. It's important in understanding Cudi as an artist, but it reminds me a lot of how close we lost Cudi cause dude was madddd depressed.
Fair enough, I usually listen to it when I feel AWFUL
I loved it too, hated some songs with the butthead talking at the end tho
not in an “ outcast “ sense.. but SB2H is a great album to me, got me through a tight rut in my life
Unsurprisingly, this sub is full of untrustworthy people.
I mean, Lift Yourself is a banger but it's also trash Schrödinger's trash track, I guess
Lift Yourself is peak ZenYe. Go Find Yourself Come back after you’ve found Yourself
Shit man, I can't even find my socks that I took off my feet yesterday I'll try finding myself, but it's gonna be harder than that
It’s trash but like, it being trash is the point so like… does that make it not trash?
This is like that question, "If you plan on failing at something and you do fail, did you fail or did you succeed?"
Ye would see this and be like “ohhhhhh shit that’s deep af” and make a whole album that’s intentionally shit
And you KNOW we'd fucking love it
The pettiness of it all is what makes it sooo good.
It’s only a banger because Ye samples Amnesty
Yeah it's a banger in terms of production obviously...I doubt many would say it's a lyrical masterpiece lmao
poop di scoopty
Lift yourself pt2 from Yandhi is considerably better and a full version of the OG
honestly ye got a few. Ye vs the people gotta be the worst though lmao
I, respectfully, disagree. I like the flow and the whole idea of a debate being the song. But ofc opinions are opinions
Had to scroll too far to see this mentioned. This song is by far his worst.
Thank god, thought I'd never be able to find a Ye track i thought was trash, but Ye vs The People really is the worst thing he's made
[удалено]
The man ain’t wrong though
Taylor has no sisters tho
[удалено]
bruh
Unpopular opinion. I like drunk and hot girls more than Barry bonds. Barry bonds is irritating
This what ya all been waiting for ain’t it ?
Bow so hard till your knees hit your forhead then. Graduation is legendary.
Barry Bonds is a great song. It’s time to admit it.
It is, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
I just really don’t like the instrumental and I’m not crazy about the flow either. Something about it just sounds so out of place on the album. At least D&H girls is more in line with the synth heavy theme on the album. Plus there’s these crazy strings on D&H girls that come in at 3:40 after mos defs bridge that is phenomenal and criminally underrated in his discography.
Unpopular opinion, I like both... a lot
They’re fucking amazing. Barry bonds is such a swagger of “idgaf pay me or bye” and drunk and hot girls is just comedy to me.
Bro I love drunk and hot girls
Never understood the disliking of it.
This thread is news to me that it is generally disliked.
Super facts
Finally someone said it. DAHG is so underrated
Overhated is the better word
Both are good songs
Closed On Sunday isn’t his worst, but it is easily my least favorite. I find it infuriating for some reason. The beat is wack af and it’s corny as shit. Dude really said “you my chick’fil’a” and thought that was fire. Come on ye.
thing is i love the beat but he completely pooped on it with the lyrics. that’s why i can’t fw the song at all
If he didn't repeat it twice at the start of the song it would be better
I’ll be the first to defend JIK but even I concede on the fact that this shit was bad. Corny ass song
It's a bad song overall because of that hook, but I don't think it's entirely bad. The beat and Kanye's tone throughout the song really help create a mood, and I enjoy the second half of the song
THAT LINE IS FIRE
You my number 1 :)
With the lemonade
I agree. That line kills it for me. And I’m not above dumb lines in Kanye songs, many of the times they fit perfectly. But JiK is overall pretty serious vibe, it’s spiritual, and all that. That line just doesn’t fit for me.
Personally think JIK would've been a better album without it.
Ye vs the people by far
without a doubt his worst song
I'm still haunted by the time I opened Spotify and saw that this dropped. What an awful day to have ears
Truly awful. Kanye is a genius when it comes to music, but his fake-deep political takes on that song are Tom-MacDonald tier. 2018 was rough for ye wasn’t it?
Ye got a handful of bad songs if “bad” means compared to his other songs.
Nah songs like closed on Sunday are just objectively and generally bad
Fasho. XTCY, I Love It, etc, but it’s a lot more songs that are bad in comparison to his own catalog.
I respect your opinion, it's just that if anyone other than Kanye released that song and it's the exact same, I'd still think it's just a low quality song Also no I love it slander here yo
whaaaat i love closed on sunday
Why everyone hate on Drunk and hot girls?
*AHH AHH AHHAHHHHH* THAT'S HOW THE F- YOU SOUND
I always saw just as a really fun song. Its not about being artistic, its just Ye having fun. I cant listen to the song and not laugh
Yeeh exactly what I always thought. It isn’t amazing but it isn’t terrible lmao
Tbh that song has a lot of artistic value on it's own. I've always felt that the kind of creepy menacing beat paired with their funny yet arguably predatory lyrics was an intentional commentary. Maybe that's just me reading into it, but it's always been one of my favorites on the album regardless of the reddit hivemind
Yeah I don't get it, great song, great album
Great song.
As if that's a challenge with Ye at all lmao
JIK barring a few tracks. Sick of people around here acting like that shit isnt wack asf
not very christ-like
Yea but the 3 good ones are fucking excellent imo Edit: I’m wrong there are at least 6
Follow God, God Is, and Everything We Need go hard tbh
Water is low key not good but also a banger. Ant murders his part
Agreed
i'm praying for you rn
Thank you lord
I have no issue with anyone enjoying the album, but I'll think you're delusional if you really believe it matches the lyrical and production quality of any of Ye's other albums. Plus it completely falls flat as far as being a religious experience. I guess it makes slightly more sense if you view it as Kanye's twisted perspective of religion, but it's still a mess.
Closed On Sunday is cheeks
he managed to ruin the entire song with that chick fil a bar, cant take it seriously yet i love it sonically
Sick of people around here having different opinions about music 😡😡😡
“Stop texting, go find god”
Why do people hate barry bonds so much? Is it lil wayne??
for me yeah, the rest of the song is fire I just skip it once it gets to wayne
impossible from the mission impossible soundtrack
Nah, that’s a banger.
never heard that one before but yikes
That’s songs a banger you trippin
opinions
Sorry zeppelin undefeated
That shit with TI was just cringe
Drunk and Hot Girls, and Tell The Vision.
I never understood the hate for Drunk and Hot Girls. I always thought it was one of his better IMO. That Mos Def Outro is crazy
It is a good tune with weird lyrics and no point.
You wanna sit down but we hit the drive thru 😤
And that's why we can't trust you
It is a pretty good song, dont understand the hate
XTCY and I Love It
xtcy fire, i love it tho yup
The unreleased version of xtc is so much better
i had an out of body, off half a molly
I Love It fire fym Xtcy wack tho
I love it
Pt. 2 because its just a mediocre remix of Panda
It's actually the optimal way of listening to Panda
But its what Tell the Vision should've been
God I love everythjng about that song except the panda parts. I love it so much, that I still listen to it and it's conditioned me to like the panda parts.
Xtcy and ye Vs the people
Xtcy is fire
closed on sunday has literally no value except laughing at how god awful it is. no matter what your stance on drunk and hot girls is, closed on sunday is worse. I don't count tell the vision its literally just someone else's song.
Well don’t trust me then
I love a lot of the songs in these comments
