The 35 Best Lyrics on Kanye West's New Album 'The Life of Pablo'
First we heard it in Madison Square Garden. Then we played the Tidal livestream video over and over. And finally, in the wee hours of Valentine's Day, we got Kanye West's The Life of Pablo. It's still (and apparently forever?!) only available on Tidal, in streaming form, but that hasn't stopped us from listening on repeat for days. While TLOP isn't Yeezy's most exceptionally lyrical work, it's got enough thought-provoking, LOL-inducing, jaw-dropping bars to balance out the omnivorous, adventurous, outstanding production.
Without further ado, the 35 best lyrics on The Life of Pablo, all delivered by Kanye West unless stated otherwise. (Also: not ranked.) For more, read Fuse's Complete Guide to TLOP, which includes the album's entire history, info on its collaborators and a bunch of the music.
1. From "Feedback":
I can’t let these people play me
Name one genius that ain't crazy
2. From "No More Parties in LA":
When did I become A-list?
I wasn't even on a list
3. From "I Love Kanye":
I miss the old Kanye, straight from the go Kanye
Chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye
I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye
The always-rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye
I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye
I gotta say, at that time, I'd like to meet Kanye
4. From "Facts (Charlie Heat Version)":
Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, I feel so accomplished
I done talked a lot of shit but I just did the numbers
