A ludicrous roster of guests serves only to show off his contact book – or, in the case of Nicki Minaj's stunning cameo on Monster, completely upstage him.
West flags up his own self-satisfied, laboured jokes in an increasingly nasal flow: he whinges, we cringe. His way with words is now at exactly the level one would expect from that crushingly obvious title. This album offers beats that retread past glories, and an emotional palette narrowed to a range roughly as wide as West's navel.
I had always heard the hits but it wasn’t until maybe a year ago that I downloaded and listened from start to finish to truly appreciate its brilliance. The lyric is delivered in a soaringly theatrical, almost operatic manner, setting the tone for this unapologetically ambitious record: from that moment on, its clear that West is no longer content with simply being one of the biggest pop superstars of our generation. My pick for this week is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. So begins My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye Wests fifth studio album. Moreover, his talents have severely deteriorated since his days as rap's golden boy producer. Hopefully this also keep s rap off the radar for a few weeks lol. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was considered an instant classic by listeners and critics alike. The 13-song masterpiece debuted straight at No. He thinks he's an aesthete, but his taste (porn stars, luxe signifiers of high/white society) is mundane. Following the incident, he went into exile in Hawaii and emerged in November 2010 with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, his self-described 'apology record'. He fancies himself a tortured artist, but his mixture of ego and self-loathing could not be more of a cliche. A fascinating public persona is not synonymous with fascinating musical output, and while West's attention-seeking behaviour may be grotesquely compelling, the manchild himself is not.
