Kanye West - Beauty And The Beast (Snippet)

All they got left is this guy called West.

Yes, I know, Kanye West is not the most unproblematic leaf on the tree. Yes, I know, the music lately can be … considered music. Yes, I know, I see and hear what y’all do too. I still have PTSD from the haphazard randomness that Ye called a “rollout” for “The Life of Pablo”, and he still hasn’t quite earned credibility with release dates since. As he stated himself though, “never on schedule but always on time”.

“Beauty And The Beast” is a light offering from Ye’s supposed upcoming project, “Bully”, premiered at a show in Tokyo, teased on Instagram earlier in the week, and still sounding like there could be more to it on the official backend. We get a taste of what may be nostalgia as the soulful ooooooooo’s on the sample chops come from the spice racks of earlier Kanye production.

Ye says “it’s been a long time coming” and “there’s a few things I’m overcoming” as this is essentially a refrain said twice. Short and simple. Which is what makes me think there’s more behind it. On top of the fact Mr. West likes to work on things until he feels they are closer to perfect than not.

If this is any indicator of what’s to come with “Bully”, I’m open to giving it a listen. Until then, find me running both “Vultures” albums to see what else of the old Kanye, straight from the soul Kanye, is left on his fresh new tires.
