“Don’t leave while you’re hot / that’s how Mase screwed up” is so true even the rapping Pastor feels it in his soul. “But what’s worse / the pain or the hangover / Fresh air / Rolling down your window / Too many Urkels on your team that’s why your Wins-Low” is fresh to death. Content is still the foundation.īut on MBDTF, infectious one liners like - “And the DSS kids / some of them dyslexic / They favorite 50 Cent song is “12 Questions” and “That’s a different world like Cree Summers” and “Got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson / Got a dark skinned friend looks like Michael Jackson” and “You know how long I been on ya / Since Prince was on Apollonia / Since OJ had Isotoners” and just about all of “Family Business” and “Gone” and “Good Life” and “Good Morning” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” - are largely located on one track: “Power”. It’s not littered with as many shots of infectious punchlines and unexpected wittiness - the original appeal of the initially producer-rapper. It’s not as much fun because it’s not as lyrically flippant.
KANYE WEST MY DARK TWISTED FANTASY FULL ALBUM YOUTUBE FULL
Who knows where it ranks, but it’s my fourth favorite Kanye West album because it’s just not as much fun as The College Dropout, Late Registration or Graduation (the jump off for this recent string of darker full lengths: 808s and MBDTF back-to-back). Product of the freelancer’s lifestyle.īut as spectacular as it is to simply listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, at best, it’s my fourth favorite Kanye West album. Yeah, it’s a masterful project showcasing the self sacrificing side of rap’s supposedly most self centered artist complete with awesome collaborations and angelic choirs and all that yackety yack that I yackety yacked about for nine hundred ninety-seven words or so.
The premise first came to me while scribbling through my review of Ye’s latest for the Home Team. But it’s new to The-Quotable so it’s new enough for The Company Man. Here’s a new column idea.well, I can’t say it’s new new since I’m certain I’m not the first writer to write aftermath articles on previously published work.
