So Appalled >
Miracle Whips will always be the one.
For me, not really the most clever but speaks to who he is.
Last year shoppin my demo, I was tryin' to shine
Every motherfucker told me that I couldn't rhyme
Now I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem
Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams
I use it as my gas, so they say that I'm gassed
But without it I'd be last, so I ought to laugh
Man I promise, I'm so self-conscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothing, pass that ver-say-see!
Then I spent four hundred bucks on this
Just to be like, nigga you ain't up on this
And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some Ones that's clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we living the American dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper, look how low we a stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe
I'm trying to right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song
And don't let nobody with the power to sign
Ever tell you you ain't got the power to rhyme
Good morning to umm, I don't remember your name
But I remember the brain, here go a fare for the train and
Good morning to Chi-Town, where my niggas ride down
To bust clowns and look for some bust downs to bust down
Yeah, she ain't got a car she on the bus now
But her gear is bangin, she one of us now
I wanted badly to bone, cause she was bad to the bone
She from a battered home, she mad when she at home
So I gave her my number to peep off, she wanted to take a week off
Bustin Scary Movie nuts, I had to get the freak off
That new Tom Cruise to the Moulin Rouge
On a too long cruise, she said I ain't bonin you
With them too long shoes, and acted bougie in a Grey Poupon mood
So I'mma act cheap in a coupon mood
She said 'Ye, you don't love me?
I told her it was good, it's too bad it got ugly
For me, not really the most clever but speaks to who he is.

Treasure, what's your pleasure?
Life is a, UH, depending how you dress her
So if the devil wear Prada, Adam Eve wear nada
I'm in between but way more fresher
With way less effort, cause when you try hard
That's when you die hard
Your homies looking like why God
When they reminisce over you, my God
Honestly though, I could've quoted the entirety of Can't Tell Me Nothing, still one of 'Ye's lyrical high points.
Wolves with only Frank Ocean as a last fuck you to everyone.
It already seems that ULB is a lock. On KTT people said someone was snap chatting ye with a choir.

Oh fuck, that's gonna be another classic SNL performance for Ye then.
This just means the album version of 30 Hours, NMPILA, and FACTS will all be different
In
Not sure what to make of that...

Not only is he not feeding us but he's stealing the music our brains have already absorbed.
He can't keep getting away with this!😫

Lol, I remember writing my own version of the beginning of Kanye's verse on The Good The Bad The Ugly for my then girlfriend. Hoooo boy.
Apparently Kim Kardashian dropped a mixtape? WTF? Not paying for it though. https://www.kimkardashianwest.com/obsessed/646-kim-kardashian-lonely-hearts-mixtape/
I didn't think it could get better than his Black Skinhead performance, but sheeeeeeeeeeit
J. Ivy might be the GOAT Kanye feature and I would fight over that, he would be so goddamn dope on Ultra Light Beams.
The entire verse is a quotable.
Yeah I need my loot by rent day
But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte
I'm trying to get us "us free" like Cinque
And while my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I too dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouth
A touch of God
Reigns
Out
TAKE EM TO CHURCH *choir*

Yeah, this right here is one of his best verses. Gotdamn.

*nods furiously* Just look at this majestic piece of amaze (whole thing must be quoted for justice):
We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you're a part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious but I'm so damn serious
That's why I expose my soul to the globe; the world
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual
My spirit is a part of this that's why I get spiritual
But I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regiment navigates melodic notes
For your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental, vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah I need my loot by rent day
But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte
I'm trying to get us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you of my many inspirations
When I say I can't let you or self down
If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And if you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life
In my grip I would never ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it be known that God's penmanship has been signed
With a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And while my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I too dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out (Take'em to the church)
I still get the feels and chills damn near 15 years later.

Speaking of Charlie, this New Slaves performance is so damn good. Dude keeps getting older, but his voice remains amazing.
