Soundbite: 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'
Def Jam Records
“My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is Kanye at his best ““ conceited, imaginative, weird, self-indulgent and infectious.
It’s like the electronic, auto-tuned failure of “808s & Heartbreak” never happened. West is back in full force, producing what is likely to be his most impactful album yet.
To start off, the sampling is superb. “Hell of a Life” samples Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man,” “Devil in a New Dress” samples Smokey Robinson’s “Will You Still Love me Tomorrow.” There are few artists who take as many risks as Yeezy, and with this record it more than paid off.
The album features everyone from Rihanna and Rick Ross (“All of the Lights”) to John Legend (“Blame Game”). Kid Cudi, Raekwon, Pusha T and Bon Iver all make an appearance. Yeezy clearly took the time to think this one through and find the best in the music world to complete his fantasy.
