littlexaliens… First it go viral, then they get digital
Then they get critical, no, I'm not doin' no interview
Mask on my face, you can't see what I'm finna do
Had to move away from people that's miserable
Don't wanna link you, I ain't finna sit with you
Ain't finna talk to you, ain't finna get with you
Don't get me mad just 'cause I don't wanna injure youand these lines
Drop me the low and then that's where I'll send it to
I was forgettin' you, now I remember, now I remember
Did what I want, and I say what I want
And I thought you was with me, like how you get sensitive?Lines up with Kanye’s experience, Manson’s experience and pretty much any listener in certain ways as you grow and move away from people in your life.
Kanye wasn’t the basketball player he created “Blood on the Leaves” about but he can relate to the feelings the story evokes, as do the listeners.
TLDR: The point I was trying to make is that I love how when Kanye actually writes his full verses they tend to take on very personal & abstract stories at the same time.
I never took the character from Blood on the Leaves as a basketball player, but it makes sense forsure. I always thought the climax of the song sounded like an audible representation of the chaos in the final half of Goodfellas, when Henry’s off the rails

I feel you bro and agree with what youre getting at. BOTL is definitely an abstract take on celebrity culture and feels like some fever dream in which Ye is a pro basketball player dealing with the struggles of fame and fortune
I remember he mentioned as much during one of his yeezus era interviews
