Violent Crimes by Kanye West
Coming off “Ye” from 2018, “Violent Crimes” is like a letter to Kanye’s daughters, don’t you think? He’s grappling with the realities and fears of fatherhood, especially having daughters in a world that’s not always kind to women. It’s a softer, more contemplative Kanye, revealing his vulnerabilities and his internal reflections on his past attitudes towards women.
It’s a beautiful, if somewhat bittersweet, track that shows how fatherhood can completely shift your perspective. The gentle melody contrasts with the weight of the words, making listeners pause and think about the dichotomy between the artist and the man, the past and the present.
