As is prone to happen this time of year, Google's got a bunch of holiday deals in order on Google Play. The savings spans across just about every category, from Kanye West's "Yeezus" album free for a limited time. The Star Wars: Tiny Death Star game has an exclusive Google Play bundle available, Asphalt 8 has an exclusive Google Play Cup challenge, Despicable Me is free (in standard definition), and so on.
Hit the link to check 'em all out.

So TOTALLY agree! When he commented that he puts his life on the line every time he goes on stage, like a police officer or a soldier in war, he became LOWER than whale Sh!t. He can't disappear from existence soon enough.

I feel ya, I'm not downloading that album, he's errogant, loud mouthed, and narcissistic. All he cares about is himself and doing / saying anything that puts him in the spotlight.

Agreed. I'm sure hardly any of them even listened to the album. As for me, some of it is not really my cup of tea but certain songs and other aspects of it were great. He experimented alot on this one.

emaddox84 says:
Actually, he calls himself Yeezy sometimes (taken from the ye in Kanye), so he is actually calling himself Jesus by saying Yeezus.
Now I don't care at all, mainly because I'm not religious by any means.
But this does offend a lot of people. I just think it's funny, really.

Who's birthday? You mean the winter solstice celebration that was co-opted by the Christians? By the way, pronouns such as "his" shouldn't be capitalized unless starting a sentence.

...and no, the official writings of the Church do not capitalize he, him and the like. God, Christ and things like that sure.
It does depend on the version you are using, some interpretations of the bible do, some do not. The official versions do not.
One of the top of my head that does not for certain is the Catechism

Ur mom sucked at one time and no one complained and that was probably free too..
SEGROUKIN says:
My favourite hip hop artist is J Cole but hip hop as a whole isn't the best genre of music. As for 'Yeezus' bollocks it is.
Season Greetings!
MERCDROID says:
But, AC isn't arguing the popularity of Hip-hop. They were just informing us of a promotion, one that probably very few of us knew about.
His album is free. Big woop, lol. Personally, I downloaded it because it was free. But, my preference for music is rock and country.
Carry on, lol.

I really think the Chvrches album should be the main promotion considering they're a new artist who is gaining a lot of attention for actually being good. But a lot of people on here don't seem to realize that, musically, Kanye is sort of a respected artist. I'm not going to talk about how much I love his music (I like some of it), but I will point out that it is constantly well-reviewed by credible sources. That's all I'll say. That being said, if you're going to choose one, pick the Chvrches album. It really is one of the best of the year.

Some of kanyes best work! I already have it but will Dl it again!
its something that is normally 10 or 11 bucks for free thanks for letting us know!
.. man all you cell phone heads are such haters... its entertainment.. you have to be a huge music buff or a musician to understand the melody's and genus of this album. Its not for everyone.. but everyone has something to say.. if you're musically stuck in the pre 90s era you wont like it and probably don't like any new rap or pop
thank you Phill for being one of the coolest people online and keeping your site non biased and keeping an open mind..

I don't like Kanye or this album, but I would have to agree with your point. There is no reason to hate on Phil for posting a GOOGLE promotion, or on anyone because they like this album.

I have been plucking free tracks for the past week or so....I came across Yeezus for free.....and passed it up immediately. i listened to it when it first came out and it was absolutely horrible. i like a couple songs by Kanye, but anything outside of that i have an absolute hatred for that guy's music....not only that, but the guy is a total tool bag
MERCDROID says:
He used to make some decent music, but he let the fame get to his head. And, he was a complete asshat to Taylor Swift, who didn't deserve (and certainly wasn't prepared for) what he put her through.

I love the diversity of the comments about a album that is so polarizing.
Makes me laugh, even when I interject my opinion of it. Of course it's free, from google, that's the news worthy part, being an android site.
But- in the famous words of Ron Bennington referring to the single:
" this song sounds like I left 4 windows open on my pc, each playing a different song at the same time". Classic lol.

The Yeezus cd should have been free when it was released....

eramos31 says:
I bought it Yeezus when it came out and do not regret it, its probably the most criticized album of the year because of his hip hop background but the new album pushing the genre further. I love that AC is promoting it just for the fact that its worth a listen. People should even leave out their opinions of Kanye and form their own opinion of the actual album. Love it or hate it least you can listen to it for free.
zackmack7 says:
I think the album was great. Definitely not his best work, but it was very refreshing and different compared to his last album. Top 5 Hip-hop album of 2013

zr2s10 says:
Kanye West is a recovering gay fish, engaged to a hobbit. That's why they have to give this away.
Seriously, I don't care how good his music may or may not be. The fact that he is a self-idolizing douche means I will not listen to it. Same with Chris Brown. He's a woman beating punk, not interested in listening to anything he has to say, musical or otherwise. Same with Tom Cruise. I've really wanted to see a few of his movies lately, but he's just an insane cultist, so I haven't watched any of them.
A lot of people will say that you shouldn't judge someone's work based on the person, if it's good, enjoy it. I say I'm not about to knowingly support the work of someone who should be locked up in a mental ward, in prison, or worse.
