Kanye West - "Mama's Boyfriend" (NEW ISH)


DOPE!!! I wasn't sure what to think when I saw the title of "Mama's Boyfriend" but as soon as I heard it, I was locked in.  Kanye is still in the zone.  He literally can't make a bad song.  It's pretty unreal.  Maybe I'm biased but I love everything he puts out, no matter how crazy or different it is.  Dude just has talent, plain and simple.

Kanye actually performed this at Facebook headquarters last July but the song was not on the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. The official version above was just released in the past few days.  This live acapella version is obviously a lot more emotional and powerful but I like them both.  They are almost two different songs with the same exact words.  It's kind of funny how that works.   

It must have been kind of awkward sitting there listening to all of the N bombs being dropped on a song that no one has even heard before.  For some reason, it's a lot more palatable when you know the song and you have a beat to take your attention away.  At the very end of the video you can hear how the crowd wasn't really sure how to react when it ended.   Good shit.
