Kanye West fans are celebrating the 10th anniversary of his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album all over social media, and while many have resorted to recalling Easter eggs from the project, Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian may have an Easter egg few even knew about.
On Sunday (November 22), the fashion mogul took to her Instagram Stories and shared a birthday card from ‘Ye from 2010 which contained a poem he wrote for her. Seeing how he couldn’t figure out the lyrics for the album’s penultimate track “Lost In The World,” Yeezy realized they were close to him all along.
“For those that don’t know the story of ‘Lost In The World’ on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy … Kanye couldn’t come up with some lyrics and then realized he had them, it was what he wrote me for my 30th birthday card. He took the poem he wrote me and made it the song. Happy 10 year anniversary MBDTF.”
Kardashian then shared the handwritten card, including the lyrics which turned out to be the first verse from the song.
Kanye West's 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' Named Best Album Of The Decade
Released in November 2010, ‘Ye’s fifth album sold roughly 496,000 copies in its opening week to land at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The legacy of the album is largely tied to ‘Ye’s comeback from public scrutiny following his outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, which kickstarted a decade long feud with Taylor Swift.
Featuring Nicki Minaj’s memorable turn on “Monster,” Rick Ross’ show-stealing verse on “Devil In A New Dress” and massive singles such as “Power” and “Runaway,” numerous outlets crowned the album as the best release of the 2010s.
For an album to be so overrated where your guest artists keep murdering you on your own song sure tells a lot.
You’re a complete idiot. You obviously don’t know anything about hip-hop. That is easily a classic Hip-hop album. Easily one of the best of the millennium so far. You’re obviously a new booty jackass who has forgotten how great Kanye once was, before he lost his goddamned mind completely. Back the. He had the right balance of ego, crazy, drugs, booze to produce the aforementioned masterpiece. The songs mentioned with guest artists where actually the worst tracks on the album in most people’s opinions. It’s easy to NOT make an idiot out of yourself. Just shut up. Arguably the best album of one of the last 20 years in any genres. You are definitely a Lil Yachty fan for that bullshit comment.
Okay, Stan, sit down, it’s an E for effort. Kanye’s been wack from 808’s and MBDTF is not an exception.
Only mumble rap fans or ignorant hood fellas wouldnt understand the masterpiece that Kanye put together. From the beats, guest artists, song placements.. alot of those guests artists like Nicky and Rozay manage to drop so good verse was because Kanye pushed them to. Ross he said Yeezy made he rewrite his first verse because it wasn’t good enough.
It’s not about competition it’s about artists uplifting each other and pushing each other to do great things.
These ignorant trolls want us to compete, diss and ultimately kill each other.
How well sis that work for Pop Smoke and many many more?
Iconic record. The best nicki verse ever on monster.
MBDTF is one of the most overrated albums of hiphop history.
Nobody is checking for Kayne’s trash music these days. Stick to shoes
