PROBLEMATIC (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)

Kanye West's 'PROBLEMATIC' featuring Ty Dolla $ign is a track that delves into the complexities of fame, personal identity, and the controversies that often surround public figures. The lyrics are a blend of self-aggrandizement, reflections on relationships, and a commentary on the consequences of living life under the microscope of fame.

The song opens with a metaphorical statement, 'I feel like I beat a murder,' which could signify Kanye's feeling of overcoming significant challenges or controversies that could have 'killed' his career. The reference to 'flying private' and 'lawsuits and furniture movin'' suggests the turbulence and chaos that come with his outspoken nature and celebrity status. Kanye's lyrics often touch on his influence on fashion and culture, claiming that his actions set trends and that even his outbursts become anthems.

The latter part of the song continues with themes of wealth, sexual conquests, and the power dynamics in relationships. Kanye's mention of shopping at Aldi's versus upscale venues like Giorgio Baldi's illustrates his rise from humble beginnings to luxury. The song also touches on the idea of exclusivity and preference, which can be controversial, as seen in the line 'I'm not racist, it's a preference.' The closing verses reflect on past struggles, the pursuit of multiple relationships, and maintaining wealth regardless of fame, encapsulating the song's title 'PROBLEMATIC' as it navigates through the complexities of Kanye's life and choices.
