By mentioning the most memorable line from Malcolm X’s most famous speech, along with the leather jeans that have become Kanye’s go-to style choice, West intertwines his desire to be respected as a fashion designer despite his rapper persona. In a fit of anger, the song was supposedly recorded following Hedi Slimane’s refusal to allow Kanye attend any other shows other than his own at last year’s Fashion Week in Paris. “Black Skinhead”īelieve it or not, this actually isn’t the first time Kanye references both his jeans and Malcolm X within the same line.
If nothing else, West has always been a socially conscious artist, and in this lyric he reconsiders one of his passions. One of the more politically charged lines about fashion, Kanye suggests on this Late Registration track that there is a disconnect between the desire for fashionable things and the moral implications of wearing conflict diamonds. How can something so wrong make me feel so right?” “Spend your whole life trying to get that ice Even when mourning the death of his mother and the loss of his fiancé, he can’t help but reference his love for designer clothes. The fact that “Pinocchio Story” is a live freestyle closing the morose 808s & Heartbreak, this line has little filter, giving insight on how important fashion is to Kanye. There is something both ridiculous and incredibly sad about these lyrics. But can you ever remember another rapper bragging about his pea coat? 18. Kanye is far from the first rapper to rhyme about his clothes. Sneaking in a cheeky guest verse on Estelle’s number one UK hit, Kanye puts down a rival suitor like only he can-comparing the other guy’s lacking fashion sense to his own expensive style. Look at this pea coat, tell me he’s broke” “Am I shallow ‘cause all my clothes designer?ĭressed smart like a London bloke, before he speak his suit bespoke Kanye reminds everyone that not only is all other music irrelevant when he’s around, all other fashion is as well. Essentially a “fuck you” to established fashion designers who don’t recognize he’s among the best. Within the first seconds of Yeezus, Kanye makes it clear that he’s not just frustrated about music but about fashion as well, kicking off the biggest motivator behind the album. “On Sight”įuck what- fuck whatever y’all been wearing Here, we offer up 20 of the best fashion-inspired lines from Kanye West’s music. Dating back to his debut a decade ago, fashion has been one of Yeezy’s most rapped about subject matters. The truth is, though, the self-proclaimed Louis Vuitton Don with the “couture level flow” has always wanted recognition for his sartorial skills. After a ranting interview with Zane Lowe followed by a Twitter feud and then dialogue with Jimmy Kimmel, West’s very intense relationship with fashion has taken center stage. Pinocchio Story (Freestyle Live from Singapore) - Kanye West Lyricsīack when I was living at home and this was all a big dreamAnd the fame will be got caught and the day I moved to L.If anyone ever questioned Kanye West’s desire to be a prominent figure in the fashion world, they certainly don’t now.
