Wonderful host and even more wonderful content
Chris and “trav” are the best and most honorable youtube/podcast content creators. I love their motivation and passion and I love how intelligent they are. Thank you Chris and Travis. (Also thanks for following me on twitter)

saddening
giving a 5 star review just to combat the wave of 1 star reviews i’m seeing complaining about “address anti-semitism” despite it having absolutely nothing to do w the podcast.. pls shut up
Himothy2121
Pretty gross. Hosts ignore anti-semitism
Instead of breaking down decade old lyrics, hosts should break down Ye’s daily long-form interviews filled with lengthy anti-semitic and anti-black tirades. Ignoring the daily headlines is disgusting. I can’t keep listening unless this gets adequately addressed. The podcasts’ coverage of his anti-semitism should get LINE BY LINE discussion.

They keep it very Wavy and Loopy.
Chris and Travis are super lovable and they do such a great job. They’ve turned me from A causal to hardcore Kanye fan

I want to love this pod
But the episodes are soooo long and sooo conversation based that it’s hard for me to understand the point of what they’re saying. I really like both Travis and Chris but I’m having the hardest time listening to this. Often at many points in the episode they will abandon their ye discussion to have a laugh at something unrelated. Gah! Its really hard for me to write this. I want to listen to what they have to say. I think they’re both really smart people and I’d love to gain a better understanding of ye’s discography, but I get frustrated that this podcast makes it’s so inaccessible. 😢

Can’t make it through an episode
As a hardcore Kanye fan, I find myself cringing at this show. It’s embarrassingly over-analytical, assigning symbolism and metaphor to everything Kanye does. Instead of assigning meaning to every move Kanye makes like he’s some deity, it would be much more interesting to have overarching discussions about the music, influences, collaborators, creative process. Instead we get a middle school book report on Kanye lyrics as if he were Herman Melville.

OMG AMAZING
so I just cheated on my wife and I was really in the mood to listen to a Kanye podcast and found this one and instantly felt a connection with the hosts it was just an amazing body of work that I immediately went to home and told her about the episodes completely forgetting I was there to break up with her and admit I was wrong. Thank you watch the throne podcast for saving my marriage

THIS IS A GREAT PODCAST
One of my favorite I love ur guyses Analysis, funny, interesting, amazing... just one thing I would love u guys to fix is not saying the n word in ur reviews. Even though your quoting Kanye it’s still not okay. But besides that I love it

Crazy good pod!
Man...I was late to the party with this pod but I’ve loved every minute. If you guys could release the Yeezus season (Blood on the Leaves, Hold My Liquor) Pablo (Stretch my Hands Pt. 1 and 2) season I’d be indebted!

Great, but...
I love this podcast for numerous reasons, and is my favorite podcast right now. I used to always listen to it while biking, and was listening to every episode, album by album. However, when they switched it all to patreon, I lost access to my content. I don’t have a credit card, so feelsbadman. Good content, bad format.

Easily 11/10

A comprehensive dive into Kanye
While certainly laid-back and humorous, WTT presents discography wide analysis through each track it tackles. There is nuance and complexity presented here that has certainly made me a much bigger fan of Kanye, from hosts that have followed him closely enough to provide context and bigger-picture meanings for even the most polarizing or straight-up ridiculous songs in Ye’s catalogue. Overall, a pleasure to listen to. If you truly want to dive into Kanye’s journey and psyche, this is the podcast for you.

What An Awesome Nickname
Must Listen for Any Ye Fan
Excellent podcast, Chris and Travis really make you appreciate every syllable that comes out of Kanye’s mouth as a true work of art. Sorry Jordan.
Astrodiddle
I don’t think there’s any Kanye podcast like this
As a huge Kanye fan I really appreciate this podcast so much because there’s so much thought put into every single Kanye song where they go line by line dissecting what the lyrics mean and I think that it’s just amazing because I’m learning so much about my favorite artist man and that’s just so amazing thank you guys so much for making this podcast because there’s so much to dive in to when it comes to Kanye West.

If y’all want to be a great Kanye podcast, at least pay attention to what Dissect did with the Kanye season.

A public service
Chris and Travis (sorry, Jordan) have madr my blind love of everything Kanye much more educated. Their dedication to their craft is unmatched by anyone (other than Kanye).

The podcast ye deserves
The perfect podcast for any die hard Kanye fans, or people just looking for an introduction to his music. Great narrative based deep-dives into songs,lyrics, and music videos.
KanyeStan
This is where the swamp is
A super in-depth analysis of Kanye that never fails to entertain. Chris, Travis, Jordan, Anna, Janie, etc. are all really likable and funny. I look forward to a new episode every Tuesday and Friday. If you are a huge Kanye fan, or a big fan of WWE, you need this podcast in your life. I highly recommend episodes such as Blood On the Leaves, Father Stretch My Hands, Famous, I'm In It, Champion, Everything I Am, Runaway, Hell of a Life, and Blame Game. I can't wait for the Lift Off and No More Parties in LA episodes.

Great Concept, Shaky Execution
Kanye deserves to have a platform that is dedicated to the careful analysis of his work. Going through line by line creates good discussion, but they do not fully understand the double meanings, especially cultural/Chicago/slang references... which Kanye’s music is littered with. This lack of understanding leads to them missing major messages and themes throughout his works. It feels as though the analysis is very ill prepared, with much of it being read from rap genius, the rest being theorized on the spot. My major issue is that these guys are NEVER critical of one another, agreeing with and building off of literally anything that is said. Often times they go off on a theorized tangent, due to missing a reference, that is just confirmed by the other guy then repeated. They are worth listening to if you’re a huge Kanye fan and seek to understand his complexity in more detail - but just know these guys aren’t the experts. They should consider bringing in someone who can better grasp the cultural context of Kanye and understand him at a deeper level.
