The Life of Pablo would have been a much stronger project had West retained the original 10-song tracklist as opposed to the 20 on the updated version. He digs into his feelings and examines his own faults and weaknesses: “Who your real friends? We all came from the bottom / I’m always blamin’ you, but what’s sad, you not the problem / Damn I forgot to call her, shit I thought it was Thursday.” West takes it a step further and projects his own feelings of frustration and cynicism: “I hate when a nigga text you like, ‘What’s up, fam, hope you good’ / You say, ‘I’m good,’ then great, the next text they ask you for somethin’.” West delves into the strained relationships with his family and close friends, noting he has not done enough to repair them, to the point where his public life has distanced him from his loved ones. The emotional centerpiece of TLOP and perhaps one of West’s greatest songs, “Real Friends,” is a melancholic and introspective moment on the album which finds West delving into the harsh realities and absurdities of life as a major musical figure. However, tracks or skits such as “Facts,” “Low Lights,” “I Love Kanye,” or “Silver Surfer Intermission,” which are not necessarily poor songs or skits, are weaker in comparison to other tracks on the record such as “Ultralight Beam.” These tracks seem to be out of place - the lyrics on a few songs just aren’t on the level they should be. In doing so, West presents us with tracks such as “No More Parties in L.A.,” “Saint Pablo,” or “Real Friends,” which find him flexing his lyrical muscles and showcasing his flows or strong cadence. ![]() West attempts to intertwine all of the sounds and themes of his past albums on TLOP. This album is chaotic, somber, joyful, and experimental all at once, curated by an artist struggling with his inner demons, as well as his public image, while attempting to reach salvation. The Life of Pablo is somewhat more complicated. The record explores themes of strained relationships, paranoia, mental illness, fame, heartbreak, and religion, contrasting its predecessor, 2013’s Yeezus, an album that consistently followed an extremely abrasive and experimental approach. Kanye West appears to be finally finished with The Life of Pablo, his seventh album, after a series of updates and changes added after its original release.
