Artist: Kanye West
Song: See Me Now
Lyric: “Now, I’ma need you to kill the hypocrisy/This is an aristocracy/I’m Socrates, but my skin more chocolaty”
I pretty much can’t say anything bad about Kanye’s new album (as you saw in my previous post). I think his speedy rhymes and powerful and exciting hooks cannot be beat. I was really looking forward to this album, and particularly this song, after hearing his performance at Facebook headquarters. See Me Now is one of my favorite songs off the album since it has so many clever lines like the one above. For example mid song Kanye raps “If you fall on the concrete that’s your ass-phalt.” While this song is semi narcissistic it gets back to what made Kanye so great, which is basically wrapping clever lyrics about how awesome he is. Besides how many rappers use the word aristocracy in their songs? Not many I can tell you.
Remember when Kanye came out and surprised everyone at the Maroon five concert we went to?! Now that was awesome!
