“You’ve been putting up with my shit too long”
“Lets have a toast for the douche bags; lets have a toast for the assholes, lets have a toast for the scumbags”
So, Kanye debuted his new collaboration with Pusha T (half of The Clipse), and i’ll be honest…it sounds just like his Twitter overshares from a week or so past. Not to say the song is bad, I think its pretty fuckin’ dope. The samples and piano keys are eerie and haunting (much like the silence in Kanye’s mansion after he was excommunicated for the Taylor-Gate incident). In general the song sounds like a bit of an ironic half-apology/taking a shot at all the people who lambasted Kanye in the media for being a complete douchebag.
VMA Note:
The drama between Kanye and Taylor Swift seemed to overshadow the entire proceeding. A rumoured duet between the two stars never came together, but there was obviously connection between the two in their solo on-stage performances. Taylor sung “Innocent”, an olive-branch song directed at Kanye that seemed to empathize with his tough time in the spotlight. Kanye’s new song “Runaway” is a candid admission of his lesser qualities (ego, doucheyness, negativity).
