yea for sure. i had to stop listening to it for a while when pitchfork gave it a 10. between that and shamieka, the whole album began to just feel like a yt liberal women complaining for an hour straight.

after taking some time away from it i made peace with the song. i still skip it more often than not bc i always thought it was weaker compared to the two songs next to it

i sometimes think pitchfork did that so kanye couldn’t still have the last 10 for a new album tbh cos they’ve done a 180 on the dude lmao. if they properly thought about the album they woulda knocked it down a few points for the magical negro trope. tbh that song kinda the reason why i don’t return to the album much

yea it’s a big stain on it for sure, i’m glad we talked about this bc i was starting to feel crazy about it lol. felt like when i talked about it with other ppl they just summed it up to me or understanding something and it wouldn’t even be yt ppl.

def got bangers on it tho

i think cos fiona is looked as one of the cool white people like kurt cobain or james blake etc so people was willing to defend her on this too much even tho it wasn’t needed

Album's a classic. Still f***ing awesome.

Her friend Zelda tweeted this. Never seen this performance before

i don't understand your complaint about this trope. i read the lyrics and the story seems real since Shameika really exists and acknowledged the song

there is nothing magical, it was just a real girl who gave Fiona an advice

but maybe i'm wrong idk

wow she's performing her old material
she sounds great, man I have to see her live at least once

i know it’s a real person but it gives off that vibe tbh. that whole black woman healed me trope is so icky to me and how shameika managed to bippity boppity boop her problems away by saying she had potential rub me the wrong way

Same. Hopefully by the end of 2021

top 5 on When the pawn but Limp still my favorite

also never peeped

need both of them to REDACTED

Limp

amazing song, the drums on there are fantastic the bass too! I'd say A Mistake is my favourite rn

my goats!

Of course Kanye's had to be bigger tho

all I want's a confidante to help me laugh it off

Valentine >>>

can't wait to see her live but I hope the arrangement is less like that video and more like this video

let me see 3:49 in person please

can't wait for her to get on stage again

I wish she re-recorded the entire album like this

it has such a raw energy the studio can't capture and every artist should have a live album

Fiona live must be a transcendental experience. Hope to see it one day soon

KTT gassed tf out of this on release day
