What starts off slow with a Bon Iver opening, builds up to a symphony of autotuned voices with a stirring beat provided by tribal drums and compelling background vocals propelling it. Lost In The World, which uses pieces from Bon Iver’s song Woods, is another one of the new songs that has quickly become one of my favorite Kanye songs. He blesses the track with lines like “keep it real or keep it moving, keep grinding/keep shining, to every young man, this is a plan/learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye.” There are some other clever lyrics from Kanye as he raps, “I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS, I won’t be satisfied til all my n-ggas get it, get it?” and when Raekwon comes in, he takes the track to a whole new level. Yeezy doesn’t stop there, he also throws another television show reference out, this time it’s to 30 Rock. If you’ve seen the episode, you’ll get it. Now it’s Yeezy’s turn to strike back as he talks about choking a South Park writer with a fish stick. For those who remember, last year, South Park aired an episode revolving around Kanye West, making fun of him. Perhaps one of the best tracks on the album, with help from Kid Cudi and Raekwon, Yeezy puts together a catchy and addictive song with some top notch lyrics. The best part of the song is the poke at South Park.
