A Review Of "Facts" By Kanye West

On New Year's Eve, Kanye West released the song "Facts" to Soundcloud. His fans have been waiting patiently for him to release songs ever since he announced the new album that he was working on. After the announcement, he released "Only One" and "All Day," which would be on the new album titled "Swish." "Swish" was supposedly going to be released in 2015.

Kanye's wife, Kim Kardashian West, posted on Twitter New Year's Eve about a new song which was about to be released. Fans wondered if he might also release "Swish" that night too. Unfortunately for the fans, "Swish" was not also released that night, making the expected release date/year not met.

Fans should be grateful because now that they have another song from the album to listen to. Comments on the Soundcloud track show mixed reviews. Some like that it was different than the usual Kanye West sound, while others were upset by that fact.

I feel that "Facts" was a way for Kanye to promote his Yeezy shoes. Most of the song is him saying "Yeezy Yeezy Yeezy." You would figure that since he is one of the most famous musical artists presently that he wouldn't need to advertise his products this blatantly. Maybe his shoes aren't selling as much as he wanted and that's why he made this song.

Most fans are hoping that "Swish" will be more like "All Day" and less like "Facts." They enjoy the usual Kanye sound and that's why they listen to his music. "Facts" would be a good song to be used in a promotional video for Yeezy shoes, but it is not the best song to put on an album.

With how long fans have had to wait for a new "Swish" song to be released, "Facts" was mostly a let down. Having "Facts" released before the album might actually hurt its sales. With "All Day," fans got very excited about what was to come, but with "Facts," some fans might be worried about how much "Swish" will let them down.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
