girl.” Fans believe this song is one of the most underrated in Ye’s catalog. The euphonious “Robocop” outro sees the “Stronger” artist rapping about his girl’s distrust repeatedly saying, “You spoiled little L.A. Kanye actually sampled a track from a movie, Great Expectations, titled “Kissing In The Rain,” which is not something seen throughout the Yeezy discography. The seventh track off the album keeps the theme of the controlling significant other rolling. “Amazing” went on to be the official theme song of the 2009 NBA playoffs, as the third single off of 808s & Heartbreak. Earlier in 2008, Yeezy made his insistent return to music, joining Jeezy for “Put On,” paying homage to his late mother, as well as representing Chicago, as an omnipresent figure in the city. “Amazing” features ATL legend Jeezy for the celebratory anthem, looking back at their accomplishments and current reign in hip-hop. “I’m the only thing I’m afraid of” Kanye emphatically states on his third shortened verse. Bryson Tiller sampled the record on his own version of “Paranoid.” Consequence and Jeff Bhasker also see writing credits on the album’s fourth single, in addition to West and Cudi.
West is talking to another girl telling his current girlfriend to stop being so paranoid. Kid Cudi also makes an appearance crooning on the hook with Mo-Ho. Hudson proved to be an integral addition to 808s & Heartbreak, adding a different flair when it came to the electronic sound that Kanye was looking for. Drake and Big Sean actually created their own freestyles over the “Say You Will” beat on their early mixtapes in 2009.Ī record that was ahead of its time, and the influence can still be heard in hip-hop today - just go listen to Travis Scott’s “90210.” The black and white visual features Rihanna as a representation of his former romances. In 2015, West released an updated studio version of the track featuring violinist, Caroline Shaw.
During a concert, West claimed this record is about that “ex-girlfriend you call on Friday nights just to have sex.” The track was created in just 15 minutes, featuring vocals throughout the first three minutes with the second half strictly being an instrumental letting the listener attempt to decode the album opener’s eclectic sound. Yeezy performed “Say You Will” during his Coachella set in 2011. The opening track shows listeners that Kanye is embarking on new territory creatively, implementing icy synths and an electronic buzzsaw cutting through fans’ ears with a sonic that’s foreign to most hip-hop fans. The aggressive electronic beat has Wayne rapping over it in auto-tune, a feature he’s embraced throughout his career, caressing the hook of the break-up anthem, “I got the right to put up a fight/ But not quite cause you cut off my light/ But my sight is better tonight/ And I might see you in my nightmare.” Continuing with the dark project’s theme, the collabo is properly titled, “See You In My Nightmares.” Kanye and Weezy never truly connected for an epic record, while both dominated the late 2000s. Yeezy enlists Lil Wayne, who was at the top of the hip-hop world in 2008, for one of his precise use of features on the project. “See You In My Nightmares,” Featuring Lil Wayne The nearly four-minute track boasts one of the most memorable outros on the album, without saying one word.ġ0.

The soulful “Bad News” details relationship situations that Kanye has experienced throughout his life rapping, “People will talk like it’s old news/ I played it off and act like I already knew/ Let me ask you how long have you known dude/ You played it off and act like he’s brand new.” After two minutes of emotional bars, the record then switches to a full instrumental with a blaring drum beat over bold synths tunefully fused behind piano keys. One of the few tracks on the album that is actually from a female’s perspective. “Pinocchio Story” was most recently performed during Yeezy’s two-night Hollywood Bowl cinematic expression with a 10-minute extended version. There was never a studio version recorded because it would’ve taken away from the realness of the song, where Kanye touches on his imperfections and disconnect from the real world, which coincided with the LP’s theme. It wasn’t planned to be a part of the album until Beyonce fell in love with the raw recording of the track, which really made it special, audience shrieks included. The cathartic “Pinocchio Story” was first performed in Singapore as a freestyle before 808s & Heartbreak was even released.
