It’s rumoured that album costs ran past the 3 million mark, which if true is no surprise, with the production being a grandoise, ridiculously-melodic, boundary-smashing and optimum affair. Luckily for West Fantasy sees his musical output finally match his claims of self-greatness.

It’s a lyrical masterstroke that results in the listener being left in a bewildered state throughout the LP, trying to guess if he’s truly sorry for his past actions, or if he still thinks he’s the musical genius many claim him to be.

”And I’m bout to take it to another level bitch” “At least you know that’s what I’m good at” For every few admittances, there’s a sneaky claim of brillance: But it must be noted that this isn’t quite the LP (some would have you believe) where Kanye admits all of his mistakes and begs for forgiveness - with both swagger and self deprecating woes being present throughout. It’s this kind of split persona that’s made him the butt of many U.S chat-shows hosts jokes and even seen him immortalised as a pretentious fool on South Park.Īnd in true artistic form My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is an LP that celebrates those schizophrenic mannerisms. However, this is the same man who rather contradictory has being behind some of the most creative and successful hip-hop records of the last decade. Bush and the never-ending egostical blog posts have resulted in him being villified as a narcasistic blabbermouth. His controversial rants like the ones targeted at Taylor Swift or the former president George W. Trying to sum up the man (or arguably the caricature of) Kanye West in just a simple utterance of clever and witty superlatives is nigh on impossible.
