![]() ![]() The beat is one of my favorites on the album. Frank’s Track is an addition to Wolves and features Frank Ocean singing over a piano instrumental.ģ0 Hours is a track in which Kanye reflects on a past relationship. ![]() Kanye wants to protect his family but the “wolves”, people out to get him and his family, keep intruding. Wolves and Frank’s Track explore Kanye’s feelings of fear, hope, and love. He is blaming himself for distancing himself from everyone, his rockstar lifestyle finally caught up with him. The artist is taking an introspective look at his relationships with his family and friends. Real Friends is Kanye at his most vulnerable. This track is one of the most emotional Kanye songs ever. Here, he is emotional and raw, he sings about his struggles with fame, self-control, and his wife. The album takes a shift in tone after this song. Kid Cudi once again steals the spotlight with his almost heavenly hums.įMl, featuring TheWeeknd, is one of my favorite Kanye songs. Chris Brown and Kid Cudi are both featured on this track. The production is impeccable, from the start to the end there is never a dull moment. The song seems bland and selfish on the surface, but when you dive into the meaning of the track, you slowly realize that Kanye is fighting back against the criticism he has been receiving from old fans and critics. I Love Kanye is the ninth track on the album and is a message. Throughout the track, you see the point of view of Kanye during a drug-induced episode where his thoughts are out of control. In this song, Kanye talks about his drug abuse and being out of control. He reflects on his accolades and promises the fans he’s going to make more “highlights”.įreestyle 4 is another very experimental track. Highlights is a celebration of Kanye’s successful career. Low Lights focuses on faith, hope, freedom, and acceptance as an uncredited artist speaks. The next two tracks on the album, Low Lights and Highlights are tied together creating a contrast. It is a response to his critics and the people that look down on him, and has one of my favorite Kanye lyrics, “…name one genius that ain’t crazy…” The track’s sound calls back to that of Yeezus, with loud synths that carry the melody. The production on this track is also very good… he uses a sample towards the end that fits perfectly with the rest of the song and amplifies the exciting feeling of the song.įeedback is one of the most experimental tracks on the album. His flow is very smooth and clear throughout his two verses. The next track, Famous, is Kanye being Kanye. The production on this track is very good, Kanye turns a standard rap sample into his own and then runs with it, creating a pleasing hype-up track. The outro of the song showcases the artist searching for his faith. Although the track is only two minutes, it gets the job done. 2 is the direct continuation of Father Stretch My Hands Pt. Meanwhile, the featured artist, Kid Cudi is the main attraction throughout the song, stealing the spotlight. The song opens with a fantastic build-up to a great hook, though Kanye’s lyricism on this track is lacking in depth. 1 is one of Kanye’s best and most feel-good songs ever. The next track, Father Stretch My Hands Pt. Ultralight Beam is a masterpiece plain and simple. It’s a slow and inspiring piece of art that gets better as the track progresses. The track focuses on Kanye’s faith in God. The opening track Ultralight Beam is a beautiful mix between gospel and soul. We see two widely different sides of him throughout the course of the album, sad and introspective and then braggadocious and cocky. The album focuses on faith, family, and Kanye’s own role as a cultural icon. The album features a variety of different sounds showcasing his talent not only in rapping but production. TLOP is his most experimental and emotional album to date. As a listener, I have not heard Kanye rap this raw since his first album. When comparing TLOP to Kanye’s other albums, it seems raw and messy. The album came out during a time in his life where he recently became not just a husband, but a father as well. The Life of Pablo ( TLOP ) is Kanye’s seventh studio album, released on February 14th, 2016 to critical acclaim. Despite the backlash and harsh criticism he faces, he continues to stay at the forefront of the music industry. He’s constantly in the media being portrayed in many different lights, good and bad. Kanye has also been one of the most controversial artists. The artist has changed the rap/hip-hop industry in ways that no one else has. He has a vast discography of 11 albums, each album containing an innovative and new sound. ![]()
