Kanye West's "Yeezus" gained mixed reviews from critics, and West Coast rapper Kendrick Lamar even admitted to initially being confused by the album. He recently sat down with MTV News and explained what he felt during the first listen. 

"It was hard for me to grasp it on the first take.  got it, but as I kept listening throughout the week, I understood where he was going and that was him stepping out of the box again and doing what he felt."

"And as an artist, we all need to take heat into that and salute that because, at the end of the day, it's so much we can do following radio, following the politics in the business so for somebody to come back again and do what they want, it helps out new cats like myself, Cole, Drake, whoever, so salute."
