Album Review: Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

When Kanye made his toast to the douchebags at the BET Hip Hop Awards, a galling comeback began. Bringing into the studio such diverse talents as Mos Def, Bon Iver and Nicki Minaj, Yeezy struck out at the haters (the NY Times! Obama! Taylor Swift?) and set out to reclaim his ostentatious throne. In doing so, MBDTF was created, a defiant middle finger aimed at his narrow-minded critics, and the clearest indication yet that if Jay Z is Batman, Kanye is The Joker. In ‘Power’ he snarls, "I ain’t got a power trip, who you going home with?" Narcissistic, charismatic, and still decidedly self conscious, Chitown’s favourite is the closest hip-hop will ever have to a rock star.
