Yeezus no longer sounds dumb to me, but that's probably because it's part of the cultural lexicon now. Actually sounds kinda badass.
Swish has been a stupid thing to say for eons, and I doubt naming an album "Swish" is going to do a lot for that. Unless it's an absurdly successful album, but I kind of think Kanye is done with massive commercial successes.
It'll go to #1 with somewhere around 100k copies sold, and it'll end up with a platinum certification within a few months. That's my guess anyway. Now, if he kept his music the fuck off the internet/streaming services, he'd probably be in Taylor Swift/Adele territory. But he's not that guy.
