“Feedback” is Kanye’s unapologetic ode to success. After nearly 3 years since the release of Yeezus, the Chicago-bred rapper joyfully announces his return to the rap arena. He flaunts his money, trashes his haters, and reps his humble beginnings.
In the second verse, Kanye draws comparisons to Pablo Escobar. A reference to the T.L.O.P tracklist notepad which had the words “which one” scribbled near the title, implying Kanye was drawing inspiration from more than one famous Pablo.
The song originally leaked online through a low quality video recording of a DJ Windows 98 (better known as Win Butler of Arcade Fire) set in Montreal on May 28th, 2015. The track then resurfaced on February 11th, 2016 as “Good News” before Yeezy Season 3 started, but later that day, when the song played at Kanye’s fashion show and album premiere at Madison Square Garden, it became clear that “A Long Time” a.k.a. “Good News” was actually indeed the mysterious “Feedback.”
The opening sounds mimic dissonant microphone feedback.
“Feedback” was certified gold by the RIAA on February 27, 2020.
