Kanye West
All of the Lights
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Although 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' was released in late 2010, I think 'All of the Lights' only captured my attention in early 2011 - partly due to the radio edit. The radio saw fit to completely butcher the perfect collaboration between Kanye West and everyone else in the music business - I believe the only artists credited on the radio edit were Rihanna and Drake. 3 minutes in, we get a glimpse of how Fergie would sound on a Hip-Hop track, and by jove is it amazing - although Rihanna's vocals are the standout here. Kanye certainly proves himself as one of the greatest rap artists at the moment, with some legendary lyrics like "her mother, daughter, grandmother; hate me in that order" - just a shame Jay-Z wasn't included on the track; I think 'All of the Lights' puts 'Run This Town' to shame. To represent the beauty of this collaboration, I've chosen an image from the music video - showing West rapping atop of a police car, 'cos that's how Kanye does it.
