Fridge examples for Kanye West.
Fridge Brilliance
- A lot of people apparently didn't get that Chris Rock's skit on "Blame Game" is intended to represent what Kanye heard on the phone. When you realise this it makes the whole thing even better and gives a tragic element to what otherwise seems like a misplaced comedic skit.
- Several reviewers noted that the unintelligible auto-tune solo in "Runaway" is probably intended to represent Kanye's difficulty in expressing himself verbally.
- What's up with Kanye's various attempts to rile up the religious right on Yeezus (the title, "I Am a God," etc.)? Simple: it's an Industrial Metal album, and pissing off fundamentalists is a time-honored industrial tradition. Further confirmed by the ultra-theatrical Yeezus tour.
Fridge Logic
- The album cover of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was a manufactured attempt by West to stir up controversy, and indeed, many digital outlets would only display a blurred version of it. However, the blurring of the image obscures the fantastic elements of it (that the woman is a harpy or (ahem) "phoenix"), making it so all you can make out is a man and woman having sex, which is arguably more offensive.
