Honestly, Real Friends is flawless and might be the best song on the album

the demo has so many different moods, and they're all vivid: that kind of bittersweet intro, the understated buildup, that bridge to kick it off. the organs are so warm. that breakdown at 1:45!!!!! and the half-finished verse is so, so great. that's one of my favorite modes for kanye. the beat change before the 3-minute mark is so melancholy and it totally flips everything. i love it so, so much. the album version is like the disney channel remake.
