I MIGHT BE GOING OUT ON A LIMB BY SAYING THIS... BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE ILLEST TRACKS KANYE HAS EVER RELEASED... CLASSIC KANYE AND BRILLIANTLY EPIC... A SONG THAT BRINGS OUT EMOTION AND THOUGHT AS ONLY TRUE GOOD MUSIC SHOULD. IT DEFINITELY SHOOTS TO THE TOP BRACKET OF MY FAVORITE KANYE WEST SONGS. IN MY OPINION, HE DID "WOODS" (THE BON IVER TRACK HE SAMPLED) JUSTICE... HE KEPT THE SIMPLISTIC HAUNTING FEEL OF THE ORIGINAL BUT AT THE SAME TIME TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL... DOWNLOAD THE TRACK BELOW...

Another track from Kanye West's forthcoming Dark Twisted Fantasy (if he keeps this title) leaked onto the web this morning (September 29). Entitled "Lost in the World," the track samples Bon Iver's "Woods" and includes lyrics Ye spit during his social media office promo tour, visiting Twitter and Facebook.
"Lost in the World" follows "Power" and "Runaway." Kanye performed the latter at the Facebook offices as well as premiered the track during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards touting Pusha T and ballerinas in complementary outfits. Toast!
The new song is topped off with the vocals from Gil Scott-Heron's fiery spoken-word number "Comment #1." On the Auto-Tune heavy track, West harmonizes on the chorus an interpolation of "Woods" singing "I'm lost in the world, been down my whole life, I'm new in the city, but I'm down for the night."
"You're my devil, you're my angel," he begins the song. "You're my heaven, you're my hell/ You're my now, you're my forever/ You're my freedom, you're my jail/ You're my lies, you're my truth/ You're my war, you're my truce/ You're my questions, you're my proof/ You're my stress, you're my masseuse."
The track clocks in at just under six minutes and features a number of musical changes throughout the production. The song starts off faintly with the Bon Iver vocoder-tinged sample before pulsating drums pick up the tempo. Midway through, however, the song slows down to a measured tempo as Scott-Heron's vocals fire through the beat.
"Who will survive in America," Scott-Heron's voice chants over and over before the song ends with a weak hand-clap that sounds like it was recorded in an almost empty room. We approve.
