My Thoughts While Listening to Kanye's New Album

I am wildly under qualified to write this review.

My Thoughts While Listening to Kanye's New Album
Kanye

Kanye West put out a new album last night. I'm not studying music and theater here at Oakland, I'm not hyper familiar with Kanye's discography, and I'm wildly unqualified to write a review of it. So instead I am just going to give you my thoughts while listening to it for the first time. I hope that's okay with you.

Lets get started!

He keeps saying pre-meditated murder and I'm so confused as to what is going on.

"I thought about killing myself and I love myself and I love me a lot more than I love you" this is a dark version of Kanye Loves Kanye from the last album.

Is he talking about Kim? "You only care enough to kill somebody you love".

Kim, RUN. Also is he going to rap soon because right now he's just talking and saying pre-meditated murder a lot.

Ok he's rapping now. It sounds good but I feel like this song is about Kim and I don't have any personal attachment to Kim but I'm worried about her.

He's talking about dying a lot and I know he played this for his friends and family before putting it on the album and did anyone help him??

It's a BOP but is he okay?!

Rating: 7/10 and I am terrified.

Track 2: Wouldn't Leave

Very soulful.

He's talking about slavery being a choice, oh no.

Okay he stopped talking about it and now he's talking about Kim having a panic attack after his Trump tweets. I don't blame you Kim.

Why does the beat remind me of Chance the Rapper?

This song is about Kim too and it seems really sweet but was he not talking about killing her last song?

Rating: 5/10. It's good but it's boring. I'm so sorry Kanye.

Track 3: Yikes

I think most of this album is Kanye talking about his struggles with mental health and honestly good for him.

This sounds like his Yeezus album it's kind of intense.

He talks about being on and off meds in this song and I think it lets his listeners know that it's not shameful to be on medication.

He hasn't said anything about Trump yet so I'm feeling good right now. I wonder if someone told him not to. I don't know why I'm analyzing his mental state.

Rating: 8/10. This was what I was expecting and I'm into it.

Track 4: All Mine

I heard this song is about sex.

It is.

Wow this mans voice is high. I'm sorry I'm reffering to all the featured artists as "man" but Kanye didn't list their names.

He just referenced Stormi Daniels and it was not very polite.

HE JUST REFERENCED TRISTIAN THOMAS. Kanye just said Khloe Kardashian's daughters father uses Christian Mingle. Where was that episode of Keeping Up?

Don't listen to this song around children or the elderly.

Track 5: Violent Crimes

Oh this one sounds controversial. I'm nervous.

It's kind of gospel singer-ish.

It's about his children. I don't know these people but I am crying.

I have goosebumps.

He's talking about changing after having a daughter and it's really sweet but I wonder if North West is going to get picked on for her name when she's older and that's all I can think about.

Nicki Minaj talks at the end so I'm in heaven.

Rating: 10/10. Not only is it a BOP but it's a sentimental one.

Track 6: Ghost Town

All the voices on the album sound familiar but I can't place them.

I don't think I'm going to like this one.

It's grungy which I usually like. Kanye is singing and that's cool I like a man who's multi-talented.

Yeah I don't love it.

Rating: 4/10. Kanye, please don't be upset.

Number 7: No Mistakes

This sounds like an outro it doesn't really stand out.

He's still a savage I don't care.

I'm sure there are so many disses that I am missing.

It reminds me of a song off the Pablo album but I am too lazy to look it up. I apologize.

Rating: 5/10. It's fine.

THATS ALL. This is such a short album but I saw on twitter someone said it's "All killer, no filler". I'm not cool enough to say that though.

I really liked a few of these tracks. It's Kanye West so obviously the album is going to do exceptionally well and he is sitting in his mansion with his hot wife and adorable kids and not giving a hoot about my opinions on this album.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
