Upon listening to the song after performing various examinations, I got much more out of it and noticed minute details that add to the effect of the song but are hard to pick out unless you fully immerse yourself in the music.
The beat of the song is very rolling, as I said before, and with the electric-guitar sound of West's voice, it sounds like it could be an anthem to get you pumped up for something. It feels like a self-righteous proclamation that, "Yes, I AM the best."
-It affirms that the creator can do whatever he wants
--be stupidly simple (the simple chord progressions)
--be as slow as you please (lyrics aren't in a hurry to come out)
--be a machine (the auto-tune)
The insecurity is only inside of you, it is a decision to let it out or to control it yourself!
The tribal calls, upon further listening, appear to be some sort of primates. They remain in the background of the vocals for the entire part 2 of the song, taking the place of the man grunting behind Kanye West when Jeezy starts rapping.
The repetition of the song seeks to drive the point home and get the message across that this is how it is, I'm amazing. It is not up to you, it is up to ME, so don't try to have anything to do with it.
The final bass kick of the song, after everything else, is there simply because Kanye COULD put it there. It has no functional purpose, other than the representation of the effect of a single note, referencing West himself.
I feel that most people can relate to the emotion of this song and fighting against something or someone trying to hold you back - I know that I certainly can.
