A welcomed Dwele outro is an elegantly fitting way to end such an egotistical track. Power possesses one of those lines in rap you are blown away by ‘they say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation’, it is simply genius. Power for me is one of the lesser songs on the album despite being the lead single, and as you can imagine is Kanye’s opportunity to rightfully brag. This acts as a platform for Kanye’s first lyrical onslaught, targeting society, ‘inter century anthems based inner city tantrums, based off the way we was branded’, the influence of hip hop in modern day ‘is hip hop just a euphemism for a new religion? The soul music of the slaves that the youth is missing’ as well as taking shots at South Park. A Raekwon guest spot wraps the song up with the instrumental altering appropriately while a guitar solo finalises the song. A gritty middle 8 sits profoundly against the instrumental and echoes out with the returning vocals.įollow up track Gorgeous features a probing, intruding guitar which Kid Cudi harmonises against, again making for the contrasting sound found in the opening track. Opening track Dark Fantasy is introduced by Nicki Minaj quoting Roald Dahl in an English accent, what follows is a crescendo of vocals which somehow remind one of angels and demons singing in unison, it immediately illustrates every aspect Kanye’s going for including the beauty and the darkness detailed in the title.
This will probably be my longest review as I’m going to review each and every song, it’s the least it deserves. Basically, there’s no possible way I can put into words how good this album is, it’s the closest thing to perfection and really is one of the greatest albums of all time. I’ve put off reviewing My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, mainly because I’ve been racking my brains for how to give it justice.
