The “weird” hook on “Mercy” samples a Dancehall track, with a very “high-pitched” sound, “Dust of a Sound Boy” by Super Beagle:

But what’s more is, the lyrics are a biblical reference to Matthew 13:42, which adds a sort of artsy, cultural layer to a song about, well, Lamborghinis.

I’m yo pushaaaaa

All six of which have gone platinum in America. His most recent, Yeezus, was certified platinum in early 2014. The requirement for platinum rating is for the album to sell at least one million units.

He’s also won 21 Grammys across these albums.

Like Ye said during his Governors Ball rant, he didn’t release a single CDQ (radio-ready) / CD quality track before Yeezus dropped. Desperate to include the content in their rotation, radio stations were forced to run low-quality tracks, or wait for the album.

A very Buddhist and Nietzschean idea:

“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.” – Nietzsche

And suffering (essentially, sadness) is one of the four noble truths of Buddhism, also known as “dukkha”. BUT suffering, or the general imperfection inherent in life, is what actually sent the Buddha on his most noble life’s quest.

Most kids vortex in their phones and spend all their time externally focused. They don’t develop themselves as individuals. Can they even name a talent or hobby?

He makes a valid point. Is it Rocky? Is it the Mob? With so many members, it’s hard to know, is it the man or the movement?
