That's right! If you don't feel morally obligated to "purchase" music, then you can go ahead and search the net for Kanye's new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I promise you it's out there, and technically free. You'll know it when you see it; the naked hawk monster on the cover is a dead giveaway. If you're wondering about the quality of it's contents, just check out the music video for Runaway, 35 minutes of pure ego on display.If you're a Kanye fan, you already know what's going on here. For months now, Ye's been throwing tracks at us via Twitter, and they're almost all here, some slightly altered (Nicki Minaj's "Dark Fantasy" now features a couple of auto-tuned fembots, alongside a full chorus). This album, more than any Kanye effort before it, is aiming for celestial heights, full of string arrangements and angelic backup choirs, not to mention some surprisingly sweet instrumental breaks. Oh, and it seems the media may have actually done a little damage. Tracks like "Runaway" and "Lost in the World" present a vulnerable, almost apologetic Kanye, unseen since the classic "Through the Wire" on debut College Dropout, written about the near fatal car accident that had him eating food through a straw for months. But don't be fooled; Kanye is still all for the glory, fame, and fortune. If he wasn't, who would all the lil' show offs look up to?
All that, and not a single crack about the VMA's. Aren't you proud of me?
I know I am.
Cheers.
