Wow I disagree completely. First of all its purpose as an album opener because of how cinematic and it descriptive it is. It's the prologue of an epic tale. Nicki's intro is just vague enough to leave you intrigued on what's about to unfold. Then you get hit with the beautifully crafted chorus for the first time, and its overwhelming sense of premonition for the performance that's about to unfold. The beat is pretty straightforward, Kanye's delivery is simple, the lyrical content is classic Ye, but you have that pivotal first line - "I fantasized 'bout this back in Chicago" and that s*** still sends shivers down my spine 9 years later. On the second verse, there is a very minor chord change that completely restructures Kanye's delivery, adding to the subtle build of the song. The bridge serves the "fantasy" element of the album, with simple yet powerful symbolism. Then the beat rides out into Gorgeous which speaks for itself as the first "movement" of the album.
It is far and away his best opener imo.
Well I'm not going to argue that it isn't kanyes best opener it is for sure, my main problem is how the beat during kanyes verses were handled. The hook and bridge had these pulsing strings and this huge sound, but then the main beat just kills the tension built up by the hook. Kanyes lyrics on this track were top notch I'll agree, I just wish it were backed with a more intense and grander beat that the hook set the bar for.
