“Act like I ain’t had a belt in two classes,” Kanye addresses to the haters in Dark Twisted Fantasy’s second track, “Gorgeous.” By “belt” he is comparing his ability to that of a karate master, and by “two classes,” of course, he is referring to his rapping and production skills-skills that come into fruition here. “I fantasized about this back in Chicago/ Mercy, mercy, that Murcielago,” he raps, seemingly astounded that he achieved everything he ever wanted. After a collective of voices chant “Can we get much higher” the beat (one of the sharpest in years by Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA) thumps into motion and “Dark Fantasy” begins.
After Minaj’s intro, there is a sudden surprise, as if there’s one thing that most people don’t expect to hear on a hip-hop album, its vocal harmonies.
#NICKI MINAJ MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY LYRICS ZIP#
Nicki Minaj introduces the album’s first track, using her best British impression: “Twisted fiction, sick addiction/Well gather round children, zip it, listen” basically sums up the lyrical content of the album. But listeners will not only relive the best moments of Kanye’s previous albums, they will be slapped into dumb submission as his sonic inventiveness forcefully kicks the door open to new possibilities. You’ll hear the chipmunk soul samples of The College Dropout, the baroque string section that pervaded Late Registration, the buzzing electronica of Graduation, and even the somber auto-tune of 808s & Heartbreak.
Much of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is cut from the same cloth as his first four albums.
