The song actually is a lot deeper than it seems as it is Kanye talking about how everyone slavery has changed. The song begins and instantly, a dark tone is set by the heavy plucked synths and the modulated screams. The 2013 track New Slaves is one of my personal favorites. I’m not going to speak on the skits, just simply listen to them as they show the extent of Kanye’ hatred for school as he mocks the system. This song doesn’t diverge from that as lines like “told ‘em I finished school and started my own business, they say oh you graduated, no I decided I was finished”. The whole theme of the College Dropout album is on how much he hates school, how it isn’t for everyone and how he got successful without it. There isn’t a lot to say about the beat, you just have to listen to understand how the jazzy sounding piano causes your head to nod. The pitched up Aretha Franklin sample layered with the signature Ye kick clap and backing vocals creates a soul filled track.
This is a chilled track, which is rare with Kanye. The beat is great and the young Kanye does the track justice. His ego is massive in this track but it works as he says lines such as “H to the Izzo got three thousand spins in a week, you only got a thou’ in a month? Wow”. Ye is spitting a boastful style saying how he is far superior over most people. The production features a reggae themed bassline over a hip hop beat creating a sound that was particular of that time as music was filled with other reggae style tracks eg Dipset Anthem – Dipset and One Blood – The Game. To start off, this is a track from Ye’s first unreleased mixtape Freshmen Adjustment. He has such a major catalogue, it was hard to pick the top ten, but here it is, Ye’s Top Ten tracks. The Chicago native Kanye West has a major catalogue and is a renowned legend in the music industry, and not even just in hip hop.
