Kanye West - Yeezus (2013)
Kanye's most abrasive and experimental album strips rap down to industrial noise and confrontational lyricism — polarising, powerful, and unlike anything before it.
Released on June 18, 2013, Yeezus is Kanye's most confrontational record. Co-produced with Rick Rubin, Daft Punk, and others, the album abandons melody and conventional structure in favour of industrial beats, distorted samples, and provocative lyrics.
Features Black Skinhead, New Slaves, Blood on the Leaves (sampling Nina Simone), and Bound 2. It debuted at number one with relatively modest sales but received widespread critical acclaim.
Yeezus is one of the most daring major-label releases of the modern era — a willful act of anti-commercialism from the world's most famous rapper. Love it or hate it, nothing sounds like it.
