The song clips flow together really well in that song, and makes something that's really, really cinematic. Just great sounds, interesting samples, I remember when watching live performances of the song Power, I didn't exactly know how to feel about the King Crimson sample in that track, but I'm really loving the studio version. But the best thing this LP has going for, for me is the beats, the production. Sometimes his singing is a little off, but it basically gets the job done. I will say, singing is not the strongest tool in Kanye's toolbox. But Kanye does not just think of himself as a rapper, he also feels he is a singer, and. I'm loving a lot of the rhymes here, and even when I don't like a certain track, they are a little bit of a saving grace for me, and I think that track is a particularly awesome start to this album, just kind of paints Kanye's rise to the top, and it's a little exciting. Rhyme wise, flow wise, I feel like Kanye's really creative here, very much on the ball, like the opener Dark Fantasy, there's a point where I laughed my ass off, when he said: "Too many Urkels on your team, that's why your wins low".
The lyrics reference everything to the fish sticks joke on South Park to the dude's very emotionally damaged love life. Is it himself? Is it his life? Is it an album about his life? Basically, the music here and Kanye West's personal life are pretty inseparable on this album. On here, he puts both his strengths and his flaws on display, and it kind of makes me wonder what his beautiful dark twisted fantasy is. The reason it's hard to ignore context on this LP is because Kanye's favorite thing to rap about is. But the more I listen to Twisted Fantasy, the more I kind of came to realize that that position is total and utter bullshit, not because Kanye's gaffes are so unforgivable that we need to scrutinize this album, using everything he says, that's not the case. It's a very similar argument I made when I reviewed M.I.A's last album. Before listening to this album, I had all this stuff just running through my head, things I would say to kind of preface this review, stuff like "Hey, you know, stuff at the VMA's, the Today Show interviеw, the Katrina/Bush debacle, all thе media gaffes, and all that stuff" that's just context, man, it's not important. Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Hi everyone, Anthony Fantano here, the Internet's busiest music nerd. It's time for a review of an album review, an album that everyone has been begging for, begging for, hey.
