    Beat is kinda boring, rapping is okay I guess if not kinda corny, outro is cool.


    What makes this track so good?

    The s--- Ye is talking about is exactly what people who don't talk with their friends or family as much they are always busy working or simply just don't have time for them.

    If you cant relate to what he's saying in this song, you need to live life a little more.

    • Real Friends the most CD/LR song we've heard from Kanye in years
    • Family Business introspective vibes
    • Ty Dolla $ign is great on the track
    • One of the best choruses on the album
    • Production is great and polished
    • Wolves outro is wonderful
    • Actually contains verses from Kanye, although he does get lazy towards the end of the song

    Real Friends is underrated honestly, by myself included. It's overlooked because it was released as a GOOD Friday track and everyone assumed it was just a bonus song. I think it was the first song he actually finished, that's why he released it.

    its a fully formed idea amongst rough sketches. its a traditional song that delivers on all fronts next to haphazard material that seems more concerned with offering great moments rather than perfection

    basically its overrated

    Everytime people in this thread say it sounds like classic Kanye I listen back to New slaves and can't find a similarity
