Yeezus marked a complete reverse from the bombastic production that Kanye accomplished on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He swapped lush soul and anthemic hooks for splintering electro, acid house, and industrial force while packaging some of his most lewd and heart-crushing tales. Initially envisioned as Thank God for Drugs, a much larger project, producer Rick Rubin helped Kanye refine the project and complete the album. Yeezus was finally finished just two days before release.

Has some alternate lines, including, "'bout that good white pussy I'm trapped in", instead of, "fuck every question you asking", and "think I'm possessed", rather than, "they say I'm possessed".
