Watching the Throne: A Lyrical Analysis of Kanye West

No Mistakes by Kanye West

Make no mistake, Kanye, we still love you! 
...even though you make our brains hurt. Because even a seemingly simple song like No Mistakes is chock-full of meaning and sonic depth. Chris and Travis try their best to navigate those waters, covering everything from the Slick Rick and Edwin Hawkins Singers samples to the Drake Treaty to how it perfectly leads into what's explored Ghost Town.
