We've been dreaming of this glorious moment since June 18, 2013; the comeback of our hero has finally arrived. In the haze of the turn of a new year, there was nowhere to turn in times of auditory scarcity. Justin Beiber's album–albeit fresh–has become overplayed and dreary. Quite frankly, we cannot fully ring in this new year with tunes from 2015. Thank Yezus for the Louis Vuitton Don; we're eternally grateful for Ye, Yeezy, for our hero and prospective president, Kanye Omari West.
We, the citizens of Earth-the-third-planet-from-our-sun, would like to formally thank Kanye for bringing life to the world of music. Mr. West has recently come out with three new hits that are certainly worth the listen. Kim Kardashian West, his wife and reality TV star, was the first to hint at the star's newest hits. With a teaser on Twitter, she said, "Yeezy Yeezy Yeezy new song about to drop #facts." This got the world of Kanye fans in a frenzy for new music from the master himself. We called, he listened, and answered our prayers.
The first track he dropped is "Facts," and it is exactly what we all needed. It starts with a slow funky intro and changes into a beat that sounds close to Drake's "Jumpman." He enters with "Yeezy Yeezy Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman" and continues in a glorious self-promoting fashion. He spends quite some time talking about Nike and how they are not ultimately as good as Yeezy's, Kanye's line of footwear. He says, "Nike, Nike treat employees just like slaves," which is a notorious fact about the famous sneaker company. My favorite line by far would have to be, "Couches, couches, couches, couches, which one should I pick?" (for obvious reasons). Of course, he mentions running for president in 2020—the election in which he hopefully brings the United States some much-needed perspective and balance.
His next two tracks are called "Real Friends" and "No More Parties in L.A." and are both equally just as good. The latter features Kendrick Lamar, who is an amazing addition to this hit. Lamar has his own unique style which he graces us with albums such as "To Pimp a Butterfly" and "Good Kid, MAAD City." The two combine on this track to inspire a smooth flow that really kicks Kanye's "comeback" into action. In addition, "Real Friends" is another stunning track. It's quite introspective and slower than the others but does not lack in power. This track evinces more feelings than the others, tearing down the indifferent wall one usually feels while listening to Kanye.
All in all, we're all quite impressed by Kanye's newest additions to our playlists. His unique style is always a classic; from "The College Dropout" to these three fire tracks, he never fails to impress.
