Arobie1992 - Liquid Swords VS My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy lyrics

SkyArt - Liquid Swords Initial Argument: Rebu*tal: RedfordStephens - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Initial Argument: MBDTF is the magnum opus of Kanye's career at it's release. It was made during his self-imposed exile to Hawaii after his bad press encounters, relationship troubles, and cancelled tours. One can imagine the amount of stress and internal thinking that man was going through. And from those dark thoughts came the magnificent brain-child of Kanye West MBDTF. Every track is a thematic and ingeniously produced masterpiece. MBDTF is truly a work of art AND it embodies the essence of hip-hop as a music genre. Hip-Hop, or at least to me, is all about unity, coming together through music. And with 11 featured producers, 46 musicians in all, and 13 features, MBDTF does not disappoint. The album has Mr. West's own takes on songs too! like Bon Iver's “Woods” (“Lost in the World”) As Far as Production goes, MBDTF is the Holy Grail of diversity and production prowess. Kanye incorporates the genres of electro (like in 808's and Heartbreaks) in tracks like “Lost in the World” and “Hell of a Life.” Choir heavy tracks (Like College Dropout) such as “Power” and “Devil in a New Dress.” Symphonic, grandiose tracks (Like Late Registration) such as “All of the Lights,” and “Runaway.” Edgy, soulful, and Baroque tracks (as in *College Dropout and Graduation" like “Gorgeous,” “So Appalled,” and “Blame Game.” AS YOU CAN SEE, MBDTF is a beautiful and seamless composition of all the components of West's previous works. The Production was handled mainly by Kanye, RZA, No I.D., and Mike Dean, but as you recall earlier there were 7 other feature producers such as Madlib, Q-Tip, and DJ Premier who all contributed KANYE IS NOT NORMALLY HAILED AS A LYRICAL MASTERMIND, but he has his moments on this album: On a bathroom wall I wrote “I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else… I took a piss and dismissed like f** it and went out and found somebody else Arguing harvesting the feelings, I'd rather be by my f**ing self Till about 2am and I call back and I hang up and start to blame myself Somebody help - Blame Game The plan was, drink until the pain's over…but what's worse…the pain or the hangover - Dark Fantasy And several others that I will not include for the sake of space. Each song is it's own beautiful and deeply woven story. Some incredibly poignant ones are: The depressing and edgy tone of “So Appalled” which exploits the not-so-glamorous-ness of celebrity life The heart-wrenching and profane emotional struggle of a tough breakup on “Blame Game” The hard-hitting exposition of Kanye's inner struggle with infamy on “Power” And so many more COMMERCIALLY, MBDTF did as well as it deserved to. It peaked the US billboard rap, hip hop r&b, and top 200 at #1, it sold 1,351,000 copies by July, 2013 when it was certified platinum CRITICALLY, MBDTF was acclaimed by virtually all: Diverse themes in lyricism: excess and celebrity, s**, romance, self-doubt, “boldy introspective - A.V. Club Received 5/5 from Rolling Stone, The Independent, Slant magazine, 10/10 Pitchfork, “A” in Entertainment Weekly Average score of 94 out of 100 reviews (Metacritic) Won grammy for ROATY (Rap Album of the Year), BRSOTY (Best Rap Song of the Year: “Power”), BRCOTY (Best Rap Collaboration of the Year: All of the Lights) MBDTF is still being praised and bumped today. It is hailed as a cla**ic, which is incredibly rare seeing as it was released in 2010. MBDTF also has a short film Runaway, based off of the track “Runaway,” that Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker, called A carefully modulated art-film made by a man on a mission", noting the usage of dominant colors as well as the imagery in the film. Jozen Cummings of The Wall Street Journal described the video as A cross between an epic music video and a charming indie-house flick.“ stating that the greatest achievement of the video was how it "brought West's music to life” In every category, topic, media, production, thematic, aspect of criteria, MBDTF excels with flying colors Rebu*tal:
