    Like @Grimace said Gorgeous is the most lyrical thing on the album

    Songs like Runaway and Blame Game convey more emotion than 90% of rappers can do and delivery>technicality on emotional tracks like that

    Most others are at least decent to good, he just got some of the best features OAT (ALL TIME!) for it so ofc it's gonna outshine his just ok rapping

    interesting s---

    "It was like that moment when I thought about taking Nicki’s verse off of “Monster” because I knew people would say that was the best verse on the best Hip Hop album of all time or arguably top ten albums of all time. And I would do all that work, eight months of work on “Dark Fantasy” and people to this day would say to me ‘My favorite thing was Nicki Minaj’s verse.’ So if I let my ego get the best of me instead of letting that girl get the shot to get that platform to be all she could be, I would take it off or marginalize her, try to stop her from having that shining moment… as disruptive as that Nicki Minaj “Monster” verse was, it’s how disruptive the Yeezys were. People hadn’t felt that feeling since the Jordans."
