It’s been five years since the release of Kanye West’s “The Life Of Pablo.”
Some might argue that this was Kanye’s last great album. The Life Of Pablo was truly a celebration of Kanye’s evolution over the years, offering plenty of highlights from the Vic Mensa and Sia-assisted, “Wolves,” to the Madlib-produced, “No More Parties In LA” ft Kendrick Lamar. However, Kanye delivered a poignant tale of disloyalty and wealth on “Real Friends” with Ty Dolla $ign. With production from himself, Frank Dukes, Havoc and Boi-1da, Kanye reflects on his relationship with his family and how that’s evolved with fame and fortune.
Of course, it was the outro to the song that remained a highlight over the years. Ye shares an anecdote about the time his cousin held his laptop that he was “f*ckin’ bitches on” for a $250K ransom.
Quotable Lyrics
Oh you’ve been nothin’ but a friend to me
Niggas thinkin’ I’m crazy, you defendin’ me
It’s funny I ain’t spoke to n***as in centuries
To be honest, dawg, I ain’t feelin’ your energy
