The Kanye we know and love is back. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of Yeezus. I dug the forward thinking on that joint and what not, but I still only rock with about five or six songs three years later. Needless to say, I've been looking forward to his upcoming album for quite some time. So when he dropped "Real Friends" a few weeks back with the snippet to the Madlib-produced, Kendrick Lamar-featuring "No More Parties in L.A.," I knelt before God and asked for forgiveness. Finally, the old 'Ye is back. However, with it's so-so warm-up singles, name changes, botched SoundCloud uploads, sporadic Good Fridays, and Twitter beef, many feel like Kanye's seventh studio album is headed for disaster.
I'm not concerned with that, though, because "Fade" sounds like it's going to be fire, and this track has Yeezy and Kendrick going back and forth over a Madlib beat. This is the rap gods smiling down on us, my friends. Our pick for Best Rap Verse of the Month goes to Kanye's last stanza on "No More Parties in L.A."
This is College Dropout/Late Registration Kanye. This is honest, boastful, and funny raps over sample flips. This is the 'Ye we've grown to love.
Also, it turns out the Maybach line was true:
