kanye west dark fantasy instrumental sample

Kanye displays his skills utilizing cut outs, silence, and letting the best sections of the song develop without ever making the tracks feel rushed. Once again, Kanye is in complete control, showing his mastery of making all the right decisions when it comes to melody. I’m a sucker for electric guitar in hip-hop, much in the same way that I love Ron Carters bass in Tribe’s “The Low End Theory”. My surprising excitement for “My Beautiful Dark Fantasy” grew with the second track “Gorgeous”. The opening track proves that Kanye as a producer is one of the best. The song melodically accomplishes everything I expect from a great hip-hop track and even goes the extra yard to please. “Dark Fantasy” has a sensitivity quality in its chorus that juxtaposes perfectly with the beat reverse beat that kicks in as a background for Kanye’s flow. The complete control of the music and raw emotion displayed had me in awe. The opening track “Dark Fantasy” is my favorite West track he’s ever created. For my money the production on “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is in the top ten of the last five years for a hip-hop record.

It’s this very delusion that shakes me a listener and ultimately turns me off to “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” West in the top twenty best rappers of all time and mark up his statements as the best or wanting to be the best as delusional. While I’m not an expert I find it impossible to even consider Mr. I cherish my Public Enemy, N.W.A, Beasties, Notorious, 2Pac, Outkast, and Nas records…and for my money it doesn’t get better than Tribe Called Quest, but sit me down next to a hip-hop historian and all their references will go over my head. Recently Kanye tweeted “I have decided to become the best rapper of all time! I put it on my things to do in this lifetime list!” I have a pretty solid understanding of the history of hip-hop, but by no means am I an expert on the genre. The problem is Kanye’s delusion is feeding the delusions of millions of fans. Kanye West is talented I’m not going to argue that. It has the power to completely transform people and more importantly other people’s perceptions of said delusional person.
