The lyrics are vacuous braggadocio but it’s Kanye, so it’s perennially braggadocio. Dre G-Unit beats launched out of Game’s palm trees and 50’s high rises and crash landing into Kanye’s Siberia.

Tal Rosenberg: The lurching beat – woodblocks, handclaps, the speaker zips on the two and the four – plus the practically Nicky Hopkins-style piano is Dr. So this was a right gloomy hero-of-fear techno-blues dirge to hear on the car radio for a skeptic like me who will probably never get around to listening to 808s and Heartbreak. It’d be all too easy to write puns for a single with a positive adjective for its title, so instead I’m just going to call it hyperbole, and be grateful that on this record, Kanye is at least packing that.Ĭhuck Eddy: “I’m a monster, I’m a killer, I know I’m wrong/I’m a problem that will never ever be solved/And no matter what you’ll never take that from me.” Or as Alice Cooper put it, “I’m a picture of ugly stories/I’m a killer, and I’m a clown.” And as Axl Rose put it, “It’s not a problem you can solve, it’s rock’n’roll.” And as Frank Kogan put it, “Not like I get sick or you get sick but real sick/And no one can take that away from me”. Why weren’t we told?! Anyway, the beat (which the video kindly asks you to believe is tribal) is kind of cool, and the whole thing is certainly much more hooky than the choice of single for the UK. West, this time featuring Young Jeezy sounding much less comfortable with the tempo than his boss here, doing a daft rap about keeping an eye on your sodium intake (wtf?) and congratulating Kanye West on having endured a break-up and the death of his mother in recent times. It’s certainly well constructed, but he doesn’t sing about his neuroses with enough force or detail to make me care.Ĭolin Cooper: Ok, take two with Mr.
Ian Mathers:You know, maybe if we could get Kanye’s obsession with himself and his autotune out of the way, this wouldn’t be half bad.
