“Forever” by Drake, Lil Wayne, Eminem & Kanye West

As with most cyphers or posse cuts, “Forever” is braggadocious in nature. The emcees are given a general theme or perhaps in this case just a single word – “forever” – and then are tasked...

“Someday We’ll All Be Free” by Kanye West

“Someday We’ll All Be Free” is the first song Kanye has dropped since going “death con 3 on Jewish people”, settling his divorce with Kim K. and basically establishing himself, if even only for the moment, as the most-popular conspiracy...

“Violent Crimes” by Kanye West

The first couple of passages of “Violent Crimes”, i.e. its intro and chorus, leave something to be desired in terms of understandability. But such challenges are to be expected considering that this song comes from an...

“30 Hours” by Kanye West

“30 Hours” is not the easiest Kanye West song to make concise sense of. For instance, he more or less rambles for about three minutes during the outro. But the interpretative consensus is that this piece is...

“Run This Town” by Jay-Z (ft. Rihanna and Kanye West)

“Run This Town” is a dual-sentiment song. On one hand it is obviously meant to big up Roc La Familia, i.e. Jay-Z’s circle of artists at the time, which most notably included Rihanna and Kanye...

“Hot Sh*t” by Cardi B (ft. Lil Durk & Kanye West)

This song can be classified as being primarily braggadocious in nature, with a palpably-confrontational, gang-inspired slant to it all. Cardi B, who holds down the first verse, properly sets the tone in by letting it...

“Gold Digger” by Kanye West (ft. Jamie Foxx)

Kanye West’s “Gold Digger” is a song which is obviously meant to possess a comedic undertone. And that characteristic, in a manner of speaking, stands at the forefront of this track’s popularity. But the actual subject matter...
