And in places, especially on the breezy, slick "Paranoid," this music is redolent of the chilly, slightly irregular R&B the producers the Neptunes were making four or five years ago, for Kelis, Omarion and others. West has cited the electro-pop pioneer Gary Numan and TJ Swan, who sang exuberant, nasal hooks on many a 1980s Queens rap track, as vocal reference points for this album, though in truth hearing West try to sing these songs is far weirder. "Amazing," a visceral collaboration with Young Jeezy, sounds as if it were recorded inside a whirring old grandfather clock, a collection of precisely moving parts neatly interlocking - classic Kanye. On both "Love Lockdown" and "Coldest Winter," thunderous drums cut through an electro haze, and "Bad News" features one of the most efficient bass lines West has ever constructed. Some of the results suggest his old, oversize sound. By any measure, these are seismic changes, yet he persisted with recording. In April West split from his fiancee, Alexis Phifer. His mother, Donda West, died last November following complications from plastic surgery. West would have been forgiven for taking a break after releasing "Graduation," his third album, last year. After all, what is Kanye West without scale? At worst, it's clumsy and underfed, a reminder that all of that ornamentation served a purpose. At best, it is a rough sketch for a great album, with ideas he would have typically rendered with complexity, here distilled to a few words, a few synthesizer notes, a lean drumbeat. "808s & Heartbreak" sounds like none of his other albums, nor any rap album of note - "minimal but functional" is how he has described it to MTV. And so, as he's dismantling his storytelling structures, he's also making his productions skeletal, and largely trading bombastic rapping for vulnerable singing. Perspective, and wise man say One day you'll find your way The wise man say, you'll find your way The wise man say, you'll find your way Wise man say.On any of West's earlier albums, he would have quickly undermined this sentiment - of course a shopping spree would cheer him up - but here, bluntness is the goal.

Pinocchio story lyrics kanye west tv#
The only one that come out on the tour and scream Back when I was living at home and this was all a big dream And the fame will be get caught And the day I moved to LA Maybe that was all my fault, all my fault to be a real boy Chasing the American dream, chasing everything we seen, up on the tv screenĪnd when I - the Benz was left, and the clothes was left, and the hoes was left You talk the hoes to death, think in the money to death, you spend the clothes to death And tell me what - tf for a real boy They say Kanye, you keep it too real boy I just want to be a real boy Pinocchio story goes I just want to be a real boy Pinocchio story goesĪnd there is no Gepetto to guide me, no one right beside me The only one who was behind me, I can't find her no more I can't find her no more, I can't. What does it feel like, to live real life, to be real? Not some facade on tv that no one can really feelĭo you really have the stamina? For everybody that sees you, and says "where's my camera?" For everybody that sees you, and says "sign an autograph" For everybody that sees you cryin' and says "you outta laugh" You outta laugh.

It's funny, Pinocchio lied and that's what kept him from it I tell the truth, and I keep runnin' It's like I'm looking for something out there, trying to find something I turn on the tv, and see me, and see nothing. I just want to be a real boy They always say "Kanye, he keeps it real boy" Pinocchio story is I just want to be a real boy Pinocchio story goes To be a real boy Real life, what does it feel like? I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight What does it feel like, I ask you tonight, to live a real life? There is no clothes that I could buy That could turn back the time There is no vacation spot I could fly That could bring back a piece of real life There is no Gucci I can buy There is no Louis Vuitton to put on There is no YSL that they could sell To get my heart out of this hell And my mind out of this jail It's so crazy I got everything figured out But for some reason I can never find what real love is about No doubt, everything in the world figured out But I can never seem to find what real love is aboutĭo you think I sacrificed real life For all the fame and flashing lights? Do you think I sacrifice a real life For all the fame of flashing lights? Wise men say, wise men say Wise men say you'll never figure out real love You'll never figure out real love You'll never figure out real love
