Even though Kanye West is a bit unstable, you have to admit the guy has some pretty impressive chops when it comes to music (or maybe you don’t have to admit it – whatever, it’s a free country). I’ve been on board for pretty much everything the guy has done, musically speaking – 808s and Heartbreaks is still one of the best, most underrated albums – but I don’t know if I can get on board with this.
Basically, Kanye wrote ‘Only One’ since he felt like it was his late mother’s way of speaking through him to his daughter, North West. The song is… not great, and some of the vocal effects are so distracting that it’s hard to get at that deep meaning, but I suppose it is there. I don’t know why Paul McCartney is involved with this, either, but he’s a bit messy himself these days, so… yeah.
Half the song is Kanye singing ‘Tell Nori about me’ over and over again, there’s a little Wurlitzer interlude, etc. It’s a bit too all over the place for me, this one. What do you guys think? And Happy New Year, by the way!
Happy New Year! ! Thanks for all the dirt and a place to hang out!
I love Kanye’s music, but he can be a little….indulgent. still a genius, though
You’re “on board” with Kanye? Really? Do you realize how asinine that sounds?
Probably not as asinine as this comment! ;)
It’s the least he can do not alone.. he doesn’t have honest emotions and the fatherly words for he doesn’t care this deeply actually, it was for his own sake he share his views of what he should think and feel to the world.. That he supports his wife’s ho’ desires to exploit their lives for money and fame.. expose herself at any given moment and he abandons Ignori to live with that depraved, nasty family and their servants to raise shows how little he cares..
I’ve only heard a couple of his songs and wasn’t impressed by his musical chops but I think Jay Z sucks too, so what do I know? LOL.
