Last night, Kanye West closed the MTV Video Music Awards with a new song. A song her wrote about last year's fiasco that happened after her so maliciously jumped on stage to interrupt Taylor Swift.
People were already talking, because earlier in the night, Taylor Swift premiered her song about the whole incident as well. Most had already jumped on the "Oh, get over it Taylor" bandwagon, without even recognizing that Kanye was slated to have a moment at the end of the show. And even after the show ended, most people refused to realize that Kanye did the same thing Taylor did that night. I don't quite understand it.
They are both medioce songs at best. I haven't heard the studio version of Taylor's, and we just got the studio version of Kanye's. Its long, its meandering, and its ridiculous. Once again, this man has made everything about himself. Regardless, the song isn't exactly memorable, and thats the problem I'm having with Kanye this year. Nothing is up to par with songs like Stronger and Jesus Walks. Epic beats, mixed with sick raps, and that ego. The piano on this track is creepy, and the singing at the begining is barely bareable.
I expect Taylor to sing a song about this, but I wanted Kanye to disappear for a while and then come back rapping about what he knows best. I don't quite mesh well with this "new" Kanye. But from what I can tell, quite a few people like this new leaf Kanye is turning, so hopefully he'll have something in store for me later on when the album drops.
Bottom line: It was probably become a hit, purely because its Kanye, but that doesn't mean its good.
