With Fantasy, he makes everybody else on the radio sound laughably meek, but he’s also throwing down a challenge to the audience. There’s a famous story about Queen making “Bohemian Rhapsody”: Whenever the band thought the song was finished, Freddie Mercury would say, “I’ve added a few more ‘Galileos’ here, dear.” But nobody can out-Galileo Kanye. Yet the songs are also his funniest ever, with Kanye showing off lethal wit on the mic: In “Dark Fantasy,” he rhymes “mercy, mercy me, that Murcielago” with “diablo,” “bravado” and “My chick in that new Phoebe Philo/So much head, I woke up in Sleepy Hollow.” In confessions like “Runaway” and “Blame Game,” he honestly struggles to figure out why he has to be such a douchebag. He has sex and romance on his mind, but he comes clean about his male angst like never before.
