assignement 23 nick walters

Honestly, the perfect playlist already exists and it is titled "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", an album by Kanye West. Choosing an already existing album as the perfect playlist may be going against the prompt a little, but in my opinion, there isnt a playlist that is ordered better or has a better variation of music than MBDTF. This album, released in 2010, is the perfect mix of hype songs, sad songs, chill songs, an absolute jams, making it perfect for any occasion. i find myself playing this album pre-game, at a party, by myself doing homework (im listening to it right now actually), or if im ever feeling sad about something.

It starts out with the song Dark fantasy, which is one of kanye's most underrated songs. it has a great intro, catchy beat, and is a perfect intro to the album. It would fall into the category of "absolute jams" as it is a song that makes you nod your head to the piano beat. following Dark fantasy, Gorgeous comes up. It is a nice, medium paced song with an eletric beat and a catchy chorus by raekwon. this song has the famous lines "face it, jerome gets more time than brandon" and "whats a black beatle anyway, a f****ng roach?" and is an overall chill song that adresses the racism that still exists today. next in line is the most famous song off of the album, POWER. It is an extremely famous song that will hype you up for anything. All of the lights, another fast paced song that will get you hype is next, but it has an interlude into it. it is a slowed version of the fast beat in all of the lights, played in piano and violin, and it is truly beautiful, it leads into all of the lights perfectly and still gives me goosebumps when i listen to it. all of the lights is a fantastic song. it is catchy and fast paced, perfect for a party or pre-game music. following this is Monster, which is one of my personal favorites on the album. It has a weird-but-hype type of beat behind it along with a killer verse by niki minaj, and the opening verse by kanye is perfection.

After monster, we see a change in the mood of the album into a more somber feeling. This second half of the album is overlooked by many, but personally I like it better than the first half. So appalled kicks off this second half by talking about how ridiculous "this s**t" is, and it is a chill song with an ominous but catchy beat behind it. Devil in a new dress is next, which has a pretty beat behind it and has kanye singing about some woman and all the sins he wants to commit with her, and it has a nice verse by rick ross. the next song is Runaway, which happens to be my favorite song ever, it starts out with the continuation of one single note that sets the mood for the song. the song itself is about how bad kanye is with realtionships and is a guarantee to get you "in your feels." i could write paragraphs about this song, but i have a feeling youre getting bored so ill move on. Hell of a life is next, and it ahs a very catchy eletric beat to it and tells about kanye falling in love with a pornstar. Blame game is next, and it is one of the saddest songs in existance. It tells about kanye and his ex arguing and blaming each other. Lost in the world is a beautiful song that buildsup to a fast paced but emotional song. who will survive in america closes out the album, and tells of the problems of the treatment of blacks in america.

MBDTF is a masterpiece and is the perfect playlist for any situation.
