So Appalled - Kanye West
“Niggas be writin’ bullshit like they gotta work
Niggas be goin’ through real shit, man, they outta work
That’s why another God damn dance track gotta hurt
That’s why I’d rather spit somethin’ that got a purp”
So Appropriate. Brb, listening to the album of the year.
1 Childish Gambino 66
2 The Black Keys 59
3 Vitamin String Quartet 42
4 Kanye West 38
5 Sufjan Stevens 22
My personal list of the 10 best albums of 2011. Let’s go.
1. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
2. Suck it and See - Arctic Monkeys
3. Camp - Childish Gambino
4. Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
5. Torches - Foster the People
6. El Camino - The Black Keys
7. Circuital - My Morning Jacket
8. Undun - The Roots
9. Watch the Throne - Jay-Z and Kanye West
10. Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes
I haven’t talked about how pissed off I am that My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was not nominated for album of the year. It deserves on a top ten list for the damn century, and was easily the best album of the year. Adele can sing, and I love her voice, but the substance isn’t even on the same level, and neither is the music component and production effort on it.
Or are these awards just about the singers? I thought it was called music because it was the aggregate of all of its parts. Fuck. No one even came close to touching MBDTF this year in terms of what Kanye attempts and pulled off with incredible skill. Fuck.
Tears on the mausoleum floor, blood stains the Colosseum doors
Lies on the lips of priests, Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rolling in Rolls Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hiding from police
Cocaine seats, all white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic, I’m wondering if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asked whose bias do y’all seek?
All for Plato, screech, I’m out here balling, I know yall hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy he laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats, preach
