How do write more emotionally honestly like Kanye West?

>Try writing like... Longfellow
he was a second rate puffed up nonentity, OP if you want emotional honesty read Frost

Frost? Lol. I'll take Longfellow over Frost any day of the week.

That's because you have no taste and prefer a pompous hack who drowned his poetry in vague abstractions and adjectives. It's okay, if you are under 20 you have a time to grow out of him.

The "chimps with microphones" meme needs to urgently be wiped out off western culture ASAP.

I'll bite

You have to have a life worth writing about.

Then you have to be brutally honest about it with everything you say

Then you have to mix in humor

Then you actually have to have decent meter and rhyme

Then you need to be able to meet with tons of people who are equally talented/eccentric/insane, and NOT butt heads with them.

Then you need to butt heads with them on purpose, for publicity, while winking at them all the while.

Then you need to be able to produce amazing instrumentals.

There. Now you can be yé
go away

The chimps with microphones write better than you and it's been like that for a minute Heidi Slimane.

>You have to have a life worth writing about.
I don't.

Kanye is a great pop musician but his lyrics are unironically bad.

B-bad goy!

>"Let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money, and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can't make these moves, or he's not executing. That's because he ain't got those connections. Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people. Black people don't have the same connections as oil people. You know we don't know nobody that got a nice house. You know we don't know nobody with paper like that, that we can go to when we're down."

this is a good answer. I would also add that if it's meant to be, it's meant be. OP, stop posting and get to reading, going out, or working.

Also OP you would have been better off linking one song and actually describing what you think is emotional or superior about it rather than linking so many. Personally I love Kanye but anytime I see a thread saying he's the next Shakespeare (i know you're not doing this but there are threads like this), I hesitate to agree.

I need more drinks and less lights
And that American Apparel girl in just tights
She told the director she tryna get in a school
He said “take them glasses off and get in the pool”
It’s been a while since I watched the tube
Cause like a Crip set, I got way too many blues for any more bad news
I was looking at my resume feeling real fresh today
They rewrite history, I don’t believe in yesterday
And what’s a black Beatle anyway, a fucking roach?
I guess that's why they got me sitting in fucking coach
My guy said I need a different approach
Cause people is looking at me like I’m sniffing coke
It's not funny anymore, try different jokes
Tell ‘em hug and kiss my ass, x and o
And kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I got it
Play strings for the dramatic ending of that wack shit
Act like I ain't had a belt in two classes
I ain't got it I’m coming after whoever who has it
I’m coming after whoever. Who has it?
You blowin' up, that’s good, fantastic
That y’all, it's like that y'all
I don’t really give a fuck about it at all
Cause the same people that tried to black ball me
Forgot about two things, my black balls

>Also OP you would have been better off linking one song and actually describing what you think is emotional or superior about it rather than linking so many.
You're right. I was tired and thought this would be enough.
>Personally I love Kanye but anytime I see a thread saying he's the next Shakespeare (i know you're not doing this but there are threads like this), I hesitate to agree.
there was a debate on something similar to that.
