《Famous》是坎耶·维斯特演唱的歌曲,收录在2016年2月14日的《The Life Of Pablo》专辑中。
创作背景
《Famous》取样妮娜·西蒙的歌曲《Do What You Gotta Do》、Sister Nancy的歌谣《Bam Bam》、Il Rovescio della Medaglia演唱的《Mi Sono Svegliato E... Ho Chiuso Gli Occhi》等昔人之作。歌词参照了2009年MTV音乐视频奖坎耶·维斯特打断泰勒·斯威夫特时的演讲、以及该事件后的余波,歌曲主要灵感亦来源于此。歌手斯威兹·贝兹除了投入歌曲创作工作外,亦为该歌曲提供了人声。
歌曲歌词
Man I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
Swizz told me let the beat rock
For all my Southside niggas that know me best
I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn)
I made that bitch famous
For all the girls that got dick from Kanye West
If you see 'em in the streets give 'em Kanye's best
Why? They mad they ain't famous (God damn)
They mad they're still nameless (Talk that talk, man)
Her man in the store tryna try his best
But he just can't seem to get Kanye fresh
But we still hood famous (God damn)
Yeah we still hood famous
I just wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
Wake up, Mr West! Oh, he's up!
I just wanted you to know
I be Puerto Rican day parade floatin'
That Benz Marina Del Rey coastin'
She in school to be a real estate agent
Last month I helped her with the car payment
Young and we alive, whoo!
We never gonna die, whoo!
I just copped a jet to fly over personal debt
Put one up in the sky
The sun is in my eyes, whoo!
Woke up and felt the vibe, whoo!
No matter how hard they try, whoo!
We never gonna die
I just wanted you to know
Bam bam, bam bam
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
'Ey what a bam bam
How you feeling right now? Let me see your lighters in the air
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
Bam bam eh
Bam bam, bam bam
Let me see your middle finger in the air
Bam bam, bam bam
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
Let me see you act up in this motherfucker
'Ey what a bam bam
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
How you feelin', how you feelin, how you feelin' in this mother fucker, god damn
Bam bam
One thing you can't do is stop us now
Bam bam, bam bam
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
You can't stop the thing now
'Ey what a bam bam
Man it's way too late, it's way too late, it's way too late you can't fuck with us
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
Bam bam, bam bam
Bam bam, bam bam
To the left, to the right
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
I wanna see everybody hands in the air like this
'Ey what a bam bam
Bam bam, bam bam
Bam bam dilla, bam bam
I just wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
歌曲鉴赏
《Famous》制作精明,一如既往地提炼了前人佳作的精髓,使其告别说唱歌曲惯有的枯燥感,显露出坎耶·维斯特的才华横溢,也吻合他素来的创作风格。歌词极具争议性,仿佛重燃旧火、推波助澜,是一个既光彩夺目又引起轩然大波的鲜明例子,令听者莫衷一是。客席演唱者蕾哈娜的桥段虽然微乎其微,但是别开生面,遗留给听者的印象不比坎耶·维斯特逊色。
