CARNIVAL (feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Rich The Kid & Playboi Carti)

Kanye West's 'CARNIVAL' featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Rich The Kid, and Playboi Carti is a braggadocious track that delves into themes of sexual prowess, wealth, and status. The song's lyrics are explicit and boastful, with repeated references to sexual encounters and the artists' abilities to attract women. The use of 'carnival' as a metaphor suggests a wild, thrilling, and perhaps chaotic sexual experience, likening it to the rides and excitement one would find at a carnival.

The song also touches on the artists' financial success and luxurious lifestyles. Lyrics like 'Way too rich to drive a Rove' and 'For a show, nine hundred racks' emphasize their wealth and the high life they lead. This is further highlighted by mentions of expensive cars, jewelry, and the ability to provide for their entourage. The artists use their success as a measure of their worth and as a tool to differentiate themselves from others.

Cultural references and name-dropping are scattered throughout the song, adding layers of meaning and boasting the artists' connections and influence. References to 'Game of Thrones,' Elon Musk, and even controversial figures like R. Kelly and Bill Cosby suggest a sense of power and notoriety. The song's tone is unapologetic and confrontational, with the artists asserting their dominance in both their personal and professional lives. 'CARNIVAL' is a display of hyper-masculinity and the glorification of a hedonistic lifestyle, common themes in certain strands of hip-hop music.
