My Favorite Track From 808s and Heartbreak

"Street Lights"



I love how this dude made a country/blues song to a classic Chicago House/Juke drum pattern. Dope!!

Plus you can tell from the lyrics that Kanye is making that tough transition to manhood. I especially appreciate the hook. I think it highlights how truly difficult it is for black men to ignore the lure of the streets :

i know my, destination
but im just not there in the streets
in the streets
im just not there in the streets
im just no there
life's just not fair

I sort of dissed Kanye for making this record a couple days ago. My bad Yeezy. You came with it on this one.
