Some of the greatest artists of the 20th century have been plagued by personal demons – whether money, drugs, women, depression or paranoia (to name a few). But their greatest testimony is that amidst all the troubles, the art which they create overshadows them all due to its sheer magnitude which inevitably defines their legacy. Kanye West, a man beleaguered by many controversial incidents, still stands as an artist whose musical legacy will stand the test of time, no matter how many times he ends up on the wrong side of press publicity. Taking a more voyeuristic turn from the previously named G.O.O.D Ass Job, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the fifth album which invites the listening world to the joyous, aggressive, maniacal and humorous resides of Kanye West’s mind – a place which may very well provide the masterpiece to further compound his status as legend.
