It’s honest, but possibly an unintentional exposure of Kanye’s uncertainty about where he is in life. There’s an ego-centric nature to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that can’t be ignored. Nicki, being last in the rap line-up, makes sure to take the song to a new level creating a frighteningly good performance. Nicki Minaj is featured again, along with Rick Ross and Bon Iver.
The single, “ Monster,” has a rap style that gets increasingly darker and more dramatic with each verse.
The actual song opens with excellent engineering and production, a powerful horn section, and Rihanna singing the hook. Another hit features Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, again, in “ All Of The Lights,” but not before a beautiful string and piano interlude. “ POWER” is co-produced with Dwele and includes bold verses with a tribal group chant in military style. Kanye West has a few hit singles in this album despite the encompassing bohemian, artistic feel. The album then takes off and kidnaps you for the duration, drawing you into a vortex of surrealist musical art. The intro track is based on Roald Dahl’s “Cinderella,” reconstructed as a creative mix of modern poetry-slam reading and age-old troubadour storytelling performed in an English accent by Nicki Minaj. In this album, West conjures up an emotional and dramatic feel comparable to medieval art using baroque pop, electronic, and poetic rap. Since his first solo album, The College Dropout, released in 2004, and his subsequent album, Late Registration in 2005, Kanye West has improved his wordplay and enhanced his ideas for more film score style tracks. The fifth album from this acclaimed artist, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, will certainly come as a surprise to his fans.
