We all have had a friend (or simple acquaintance, it goes) presumptuous. Heavy. Overbearing. Self-indulgent. An ember who we put up with because there’s always something about him that compensates for his irrepressible propensity to make a fool of himself. Whether it’s a special talent, a clairvoyance that makes him reach beyond what we are able to glimpse or a special charm with which he always seems to walk several feet above the ground, as only the best snake charmers know how to do.

But his beautiful, dark and twisted fantasy – already the title was motley – was the perfect album to seduce those who felt alien to the hip hop universe, or directly rejected it. In fact, it is a pop record. Rapped, if you will. Full of studio tricks typical of the genre. But pop, at the end of the day. Their irruption, which seems so far away in time, changed the rules of the game. It was a game changer, as the Anglo-Saxons like to say. It was also a bet on the album format as the packaging of the pop story, just when it was beginning to be questioned.

My beautiful dark twisted fantasy tracklist

“Well, first of all, if you look at all of Kanye West’s output, he actually did a lot to bring back sampling and make it cool again, even though he’s more of a mainstream artist…but his new album is strictly hard beats and rhyme. He’s totally done with electro. You’re gonna be surprised what you hear”.

Initially the album was to be titled Good Ass Job and transiently Dark Twisted Fantasy according to Kanye West’s own statements,[6] information that was later confirmed by GOOD MUSIC member Big Sean. [7] However, on July 24, 2010, a poster appeared on West’s official website with the phrase “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Trailer”, which was later corroborated by the artist when he announced 4 days later that his new album would no longer be called Good Ass Job.[8] The official name of the album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was to be “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”.

The official name of the album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was announced on October 5, 2010,[9] while Good Ass Job became the name of the collaboration between West and Chance the Rapper announced in 2018.[10][11][12]

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy es el quinto álbum de estudio del rapero y productor estadounidense Kanye West. Fue lanzado el 22 de noviembre de 2010 por Def Jam Recordings y Roc-A-Fella Records tras un período de controversia pública para West. Tras retirarse a un exilio autoimpuesto en Hawái en 2009, grabó el álbum en el estudio Avex de Honolulu en un entorno comunitario en el que participaron numerosos músicos. Otras sesiones de grabación tuvieron lugar en los estudios Glenwood Place de Burbank (California) y en los estudios Electric Lady y Platinum Sound de Nueva York.

Para ayudar a comercializar el álbum, West lanzó canciones gratuitas a través de su serie semanal GOOD Fridays y cuatro singles – “Power”, “Runaway”, “Monster” y “All of the Lights”-, todos los cuales se situaron entre los 40 primeros puestos del Billboard Hot 100. West también lanzó un cortometraje musical, Runaway (2010), ambientado con la música del álbum. En su primera semana de lanzamiento, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy debutó en el número uno del Billboard 200 de EE.UU. y vendió 496.000 copias, registrando finalmente tres millones de unidades para obtener una certificación de triple platino de la Asociación de la Industria Discográfica de América (RIAA). También se ha reproducido al menos mil millones de veces a través del servicio de streaming de música Spotify.
