Kanye West' best lyrics
 

Cause why not?

"Brandy's little sister lame and he know it now"

"They say I'm possessed, it's an omen
I keep it 300, like the Romans"

^ 300 weren't romans tho

This isn't a sarcastic thread?

"I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS, I won't be satisfied til' all my niggas get it, get it?"

:clap:

:laughing:

That's one of those ones that makes me feel embarrassed for him.

'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 coop'
GOAT

"She asked me what I wished for on my wishlist
Have you ever asked your bitch for other bitches?"

"I reign as the articulator, with the greater data
Revolvin on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam
While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphors
I explore more, to expose the core"

"This is a lifetime mission, vision of prison
Aight listen,
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
Am I Eternal? Or an eternalist? "

"No anaphora in my aura, verse I got the works when I freak it
Disarm unique with swarms I seek it
Diaphoretic in the energetic
More than motion draws up kinetic, being combined with the vibe
Not a man'll transcribe, though they tried"

I read those and thought "This can't be Kanye".. Sure enough.. NOT Kanye.

DZK - "I'm playin with prayin victims laying naked, restricted with thick
Fitted restraints, I'm lifting, painfully bending tense ligament
Tissue, which extends when I inch the six sensitive suspension
Instruments in sixty demented and sequentially different increments"

It rolls off his tongue awesome in the song.

Yeah, they seemed like decent lyrics so I figured it wasn't him.

Sorry I still thought this was a sarcastic thread.

:laughing:

Driving around town looking for the best spot
For the drunk and hot girls
Up in the club look at here what we got
Some drunk and hot girls
Stop dancing with your girlfriend and come dance with me
Stop talking 'bout your boyfriend since he is not me
Stop running up my tab cause these drinks is not free
You drunk and hot girl

Deep man. Pure poetry. That fact that he completely ripped off a Can song and gave it these awesome lyrics makes it extra special to me.

"Fast life, drug life
Thug life, rock life
Every night"

"I'd rather do nothing with you, than something with somebody new."

That's actually a decent line you know.

"Feeling like Katrina with no fema
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no visa
First class with the seat back I still see ya
In my past, you on the other side of the glass
Of my memory's museum,
I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa,
come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar"

Without the last line which is pretty dumb, I like this passage, especially the bolded part from Flashing Lights

I think the thing I like about Kanye's lyrics is that they're laced with his exuberant persona.
You'd know it was a Kanye lyric if you saw it written down. They're not the most articulate but as a Kanye fan I don't listen to for intellectual pursuits, I listen because I find the way his character/persona/ego bleeds into his music enjoyable.

He's got personality, you can't deny that, and the sometimes humorous, sometimes brash and often ridiculous nature of his lyrics display that.

:clap:

Can you be a little more specific? Those are pretty much the defining qualities of mainstream rap. The only thing that separates Kanye's personality from the rest of the artists is that he made himself into a public nuisance while the rest keep it in their music.

50 cent is a more entertaining egomaniac than kanye imo

but kanye makes better music these days

I was drinking earlier
NOW I'M DRIVIN'

Who could forget this gem!

Eating Asian pussy all I need was sweet and sour sauce.

Kanye West used sample from a Hungarian song in his "New slaves" track, without permission of the original authors. This mentality is unethical, means that world star of the US can do anything with small countries' production. :P

:rofl:

Whenever I listen to Yeezus I just think of this post now. Had it on the other day and just lol'd.
