Haha! YES! Fucking finally!! Victory!!
This is how I felt from the first streaming event. Really. Over time it's turned into more of a fun album than a tearjerker, but for the fist few weeks I teared up a LOT, especially during "Real Friends" which I really do feel is a song of unmatched depth in modern pop music.
When that song dropped, before the album did, I sent it to my girlfriend immediately (was still converting her at the time) and I said "Nobody's making music like this, especially not in hip hop." It's so genuine and so honest and so free of pretense. With all the time I've had to process the album, I think I've settled on "Real Friends" being the best all around song on the album.
Fade is the most powerful. Famous is the biggest banger. Wolves may be the most beautiful and complex, but Real Friends is, like, THE song. The "Runaway" of Pablo.
And yeah, it reminds me of Heard me say, which is also one of my all time favorites.
FUCKING THANK CHRIST! Louder digs Kanye again! The world once again makes sense to me! My little Kanye mentor... this is great news.
You better not just be high or going through menopause or some shit.
