It pays off sublimely.īest Lyrics: Pardon my wizard talk, but I’m elevated No drank, no tree and I’m levitated I got my own empire, I’m the baby I ain’t taking care of nobody but my daughter and my mom Places to go cause I need to build a travel log I travel while you jake ni**as run a blog Now run along, I got some shit that needs posting While I’m winnin’ livin’ life, skippin’ grinnin’ on em All hail King Wizard in the fuckin’ house Been chill for a minute quiet as a mouse Now I got the juice, call me Bishop when you see me round I be showin’ love, showin’ love baby, dap and pound In many ways a throwback to his mixtape days, Cudi eschews the more melodic flow in favor of bars on top of bars.
Comprised of the instrumental from Daft Punk’s “Son Of Flynn” and a snippet of Michael Jackson’s “You Rock My World”, what rests in between is a half-baked verse from Kanye whilst a pre- Satellite Flight Mescudi is firing on all cylinders. The track that would evolve into “Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now,” “Can’t Look In My Eyes” feels like being granted direct access into a studio session between Ye and Cudder. Although Cudi’s declaration that other “other n****s copy, I’m the image” feels like a broader epithet for his whole career, Kanye’s advances towards a fleet of supermodels and remarks about cruising with Dicaprio epitomizes the hedonistic life that the track’s title refers to. But no-one was outshining Kanye during a name-dropping spree that rivals The Game at his most boastful. Whilst it was an immensely exciting time in hip-hop overall, one of the undeniable peaks came in the form of “Christian Dior Flow.”Īwash in the sort of sweeping grandeur that was a calling card of Ye at the time, this star-laden track has no shortage of highlights – including a typically stellar verse from Lloyd Banks.
Like clockwork, a new song would emerge every week- with the exception of the hare-brained artistic alchemy of “Runaway Love” with Justin Bieber and Raekwon arriving on a Monday- and set the internet alight. For any long-serving Kanye devotee, there’s no way to replicate the thrill of the unknown created by the G.O.O.D Friday series.
