WARNING: Due to the nature of this post, I am obliged to inform you
that there is some very bad language towards the end. You have been warned!
For the vast majority of my life, I was completely adverse to the
concept of a comedy album. Music was
serious, crafted expertly by anguished young men and women who poured their
heart into every note. Now I am
approaching 30, I’m actually partial to certain comedy acts, most notably the
fantastically funny Flight of the Conchords.
They manage to craft frighteningly accurate pastiches of classic songs,
as well as being talented tunesmiths in their own right. I would definitely rate their eponymous debut
album as the greatest comedy album of all time.
That was until I heard the new king of comedy, Yeezus himself.
