West is not rapping his pain he chooses to sing it. With the help of producers Plain Pat, No I.D., and Jeff Bhasker, this was an album that was a snapshot. Many times, synths and orchestral arrangements serve as an undercurrent to the hard-hitting and aggressive nature of the base. Sometimes songs are simplistic in order to highlight the emotions that West are trying to convey. All of these songs utilize the Roland TR-808 as the glue. There’s a scripture Mark 8:36 to be exact. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? It’s a universal story.Ĩ08’s starts with the atmospheric and earthy, “Say You Will.” It’s a contrast to the triumphant and reflective Graduation opener, “Good Morning.” From here, you get the basis or the bolts of the album. With the freestyle, not only does West contemplate if all the material possessions he gained during his assent were worth it also starts to resent his dream itself.Īnd the day I moved to L.A., maybe that was all my faultĪll my fault to be a real boy, chasin’ the American dream Shortly after, West’s engagement to Alexis Phifer ended. This loss, no doubt, had a profound effect on West’s psyche as would any person losing a parent. The only structure is West proclaiming “ I just wanna be a real boy, Pinocchio’s story goes, I just wanna be a real boy.”ĭonda West, Kanye’s mother passed away on November 2007. The last track of 808s and Heartbreak is a live track called “Pinocchio Story.” It’s a complete stream of consciousness. Sometimes when you look back at things, it’s best to look at the end before you start at the beginning. Kanye West wasn’t the boisterous person that we knew who stretched fans imagination with the Glow In The Dark tour. 20 Taiko drummers filled the back of the stage with a powerful, rhythmic flow that complemented the brooding red lights that permeated the sound stage. The pin would be the common thing for the upcoming 808’s and Heartbreak era. Coming off the celebratory and vivacious Graduation in 2007, West donned a gray suit with a broken heart pin. West, was uncharacteristically melancholy.

Maybe that was all my fault, all my fault to be a real boyĬhasing the American Dream, chasing everything we seen, up on the tv screen The only one that come out on the tour and staysīack when I was living at home and this was all a big dreamĪnd the fame will be got caught and the day I moved to L.A The only one was behind me, I can't find her no more Pinocchio story goes, I just want to be a real boyĪnd there is no Gepetto, to guide me, no one right beside me
Not some persona on T.V that no one can really feelįor everybody that sees you, they say "Wheres my camera?"įor everybody that sees you, they say "Sign the autograph"įor everybody that sees you crying and says you ought to laugh, you ought to laugh What does it feel like to live real life, to be real I turn on the tv and see me and see nothing
Its like I'm looking for something out there trying to find something Its funny, Pinocchio lied and that's what kept him from it Pinocchio story is, I just want to be a real boy They always say Kanye, he keeps it real boy What does it feel like, I ask you tonight That could bring back a piece of real life But for some reason I can never find what real love is aboutĮverything in the world figured out but I can never seem to find what love was about
