It's growing on me a lot. I really enjoy the style more I listen to it. However it isn't deep, aside from new slaves most of the songs are just songs to jam to and enjoy the sonic style of and the lyrics complement that. Nothing here contributes to an overall theme, and while that dissapoints me, this isn't a concept album like MBDTF was. I can appreaciate this album as just a fun album to put on and enjoy.

Retrieved December 6, 2019. If anything, ye compresses the Kanye West character, making everything about the artist feel smaller, blurrier, like you are squinting at an image once larger than life.

Sirens wail from the start as Kanye preps to enter a party — but not before a girl and her crew ask for him to get them in. “’Can you get my Benz in the club,’” he retorts in wise-ass fashion. “’If not, treat your friends like my Benz: park they ass outside until the evening ends.’” Reggae infects “Up” at the end as well.
