The perpetually thugged-out wonder reveals a more benevolent side when it comes to gender and family issues. "So Many Tears," "Death Around the Corner," and "If I Die 2Nite" are all dark, eerily prophetic tunes that lend credence to widespread theories which suggest that Pac anticipated his impending death. The heavy-hearted album opens up with a radio commentary describing the circumstances surrounding his shooting, and then plunges headfirst into Pac's infatuation with death. Released when Tupac was in jail serving time for a rape conviction and just after his recovery from being shot-up gangland-style at a recording studio, this was his most introspective piece of work to date. Hate if you must, but show proper respect.The gruesome details surrounding Tupac's third solo offering are enough to give any music fan the willies. It's Kanye's "Purple Rain" or "There's a Riot Going On" moment. Listening to "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is to experience the greatest artist of his generation raising the bar to new heights. The standout moments almost immediately took on legendary status, from guest verses by Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross (arguably, the best of their respective careers) to a hilarious appearance by Chris Rock to a self-deprecating singalong dedicated to d-bags and a-holes. The fact that it's perfect is hard to fathom. Most of the rumors turned out to be true, as "MBDTF" arrived as a colossal work with numerous features and extended suites that made the room for error immense.
West was supposedly working with everyone from Nicki Minaj and Beyonce to John Legend and Elton John. There, he began work on an album that took on mythological status.
After taking a microphone away from Taylor Swift and being vilified in the music industry, West cancelled a tour with Lady Gaga and went into self-imposed exile in Hawaii.
To understand why Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" works so well, you have to remember where West was at during its creation. The best album of the 2010s came towards the end of the decade's first year and stands as one of its amazing achievements in any creative art form.
