歌曲鉴赏
《Stronger》是一首尼采式的歌曲,在嘻哈乐底韵里融入Funk节奏,曲风搭上了Nu Rave风潮。在《Stronger》中,在法国风情浓郁的合成器音色中传来的Rap,有点“美国说唱歌手法国奇遇记”的意思。此外,
坎耶·维斯特对于嘻哈音乐的作用很特别,他懂得如何带领听众进入到嘻哈这个领域,同时更懂得如何将嘻哈这种音乐形式变成一种潮流,一种印记。这也是为什么《Stronger》会受欢迎的原因。
专业评价
《Stronger》是一首推动力强、气势磅礴、纯粹至极的嘻哈历史之作,只有

歌曲争议
2010年,音乐制作人Vince P提出指控,他声称
坎耶·维斯特的单曲《Stronger》与他自己创作的同名作品存在过度的相似性,从而可能侵犯了他的版权。2012年8月,法官Diane Wood判决表示,尽管两首曲均引用了19世纪德国哲学家
弗里德里希·威廉·尼采的名言,初看似是巧合得离谱,但坎耶·维斯特已恰当之处,这些名言在过去一个世纪里已经多次出现在不同歌曲的歌词里,所以不认同Vince P所指的相似之处,能构成侵犯版权。
