EDIT:

not to sound condescending but i'm just gonna add a couple of discussion questions here incase y'all get tired of 'father stretch my anus' jokes and lyric chains:

What direction do you think this album is these albums are going to take? What direction would you like to see them take? Do you think the length of the album is good or bad? What influences are we supposed to see on the album? Do you think he's gonna release it in time?

We know he's let Charlamagne hear some of it, and I believe Nas reportedly was working on something with Kanye too, what do you think it is?

edit 2:

why didn't kanye tweet the name of his own album? I'm assuming the second one is Kids See Ghost - Kids See Ghost

Why is ghost singular? do you expect both the drop? which one do you think will sell more?

What Denzel Curry Referred To In His Tweet About Kanye's ''Yeezus'' Being A Stolen Idea

Posted: 19 Apr 2018 06:24 PM PDT

For some context
Kanye West recently returned to twitter and has there's been no lack of activity. He's just 'broke the internet' by announcing the release date of: his new album, a collaboration project with Kid Cudi, Pusha T's new album and Teyana Taylor's. He has also been writing a self-help book in real-time by tweeting, and amongst those thoughts he touched the subject of being original, ''stealing'' ideas, and making them your own:
 

''I find myself getting stuck in the idea of originality and letting my ego push me to say things like "this person stole this from me" and the funny thing is it'll be a reference I took from somewhere 😂'' (18.04.2018)
let's be less concerned with ownership of ideas. It is important that ideas see the light of day even if you don't get the credit for them. Let's be less concerned with credit awards and external validation. (18.04.2018)
 

Denzel Curry's tweet
In the aftermath of Kanye's controversial thoughts, Denzel Curry tweeted out this:

So basically Kanye just admitted to stealing @_sydneyintheory and @UnkleLuc Wild Ep idea for yeezus (20.04.18)

And considering the tweet was met with some questions regarding what he was referring to, why not just shed some light on the situation. Credit to u/soccerperson's post on this from 2015.
 

UnkleLuc, Sydney In Theory and The Wild EP

UnkleLuc is much known for his direction/editing on videos like Future's ''Trap Niggas'', A$AP Mob's ''Yamborghini High'' and Kodak Black's ''SKRT''. Together with the artist Personal, as Sydney In Theory they made ''The Wild EP''. It's a dark and experimental EP that features names like SpaceGhostPurrp, Robb Bank$, Sylvan Lacue (As QuESt), and Denzel Curry.

What makes Kanye related to this? Well in 2011, UnkleLuc lost his brother and on the same night he got the news, he sent an e-mails to Kanye and his team with some of the art he had made and a demo of The Wild ''because he'd lost his brother and felt he could sympathize with Kanye's situation with his mom and just wanted to get feedback from his music''.

So aside from the potential sonic influence with Yeezus having a similar industrial and raw sound, what supports Kanye actually looked at his work, can be seen from some visuals:

UnkleLuc images

  • Dog - 1 - 2 - 3
  • Elephant - 1

Kanye West images

  • Dog - 1 - 2 - 3
  • Elephant (from No Church In Wild) - 1
     

Considering Kanye acknowledged their work in the e-mails, is it possible that Kanye stole their ideas - visuals and music - like Denzel Curry pointed out in his tweet? Again credit to u/soccerperson as I've quoted parts of his post and it's how I was made aware of it to begin with.
 

TLDR: Kanye makes controversial tweets about originality, Denzel Curry tweets that Kanye got his Yeezus idea from artist who e-mailed him art and music in 2011/2012.
