His Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy




Nov 22- Here's the thing. I'm one of the biggest fans of Kanye, and i can proudly claim to be one of his earliest. I still remember the time when i bought The College Dropout with my schoolmate Megat, it was at the old CD-Rama at IOI Mall six years ago. It was the only album i listened to all year and gave me a relief with the pressure of PMR. Ok, PMR ain't that much of a deal but College Dropout kind of prepared me to cope the stress. I still have it with me, cover busted a bit but it still works. Late Registration and Graduation are also in my collection, both of them didn't gave that much relativity towards myself but it was good. 808's& Heartbreak was the one that gave comfort as how Dropout did, at the time depression was my middle name, and every track on 808 was like an anti-depressant pill. It's one of my favourite albums of all time.
But, things took off in a different way now, as i'm devastated on the fact Kanye is now one of the puppets of the system, like Jay-Z, another artiste i look up to but i despise him now. Kanye is one the best artistes out there,and for Kanye to be at their side is disappointing. If you're reading this and you don't have a clue on what i'm rambling about, contact me personally and i'll let you know exactly what it is.
I didn't care much about Kanye until now, his fifth studio album just rolled out. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the title, not the once said "Good Ass Job". I actually didn't want to pay attention to Kanye this time, but seeing how good the reviews on Twisted Fantasy i thought i should give this a go, since i've heard everything from Yeezy then why not this one?
It was terrific, in my book he outclassed himself really. What he does on every album is bringing new sounds and fresh ideas, he's not your typical rapper, those of you who enjoy his music would know this for a fact. We've been treated to free downloads from certain tracks in Fantasy, and you've listened to some in the background of "Runaway", Kanye's musical film or whatever you would want to call it. Even all that, you would still buy this album, as the sounds here have a different impact. I had eargasms listening to All Of The Lights, and to know the great Sir Elton John played a part in the track is mind blowing. Music aside, you have to pay attention to the lyrics, as you might understand on what i was mentioning earlier about Kanye's allegiance. He knows what he's doing, but i guess it's too late now. If you have few minutes to spare watch the videos below, it might seem he's talking nonsense but he's not. There's some regret on certain issues but if you pay attention to the last moments in the second video, he clearly has quite of an issue. I respect you Kanye, but i hope you do get rid of the shit that lingers with you.
