Background and composition

[edit]
Soul singerCharlie Wilsonappears uncredited on the song and performed it with West numerous times, upon its single release.

On June 1, 2013, West revealed thecover artof his sixth studio albumYeezusand premiered a 13-second preview of "Bound 2".[2]It was only one of three songs that were previewed prior to the album's release, the others being "New Slaves"and"Black Skinhead".[3]

"Bound 2" features substantialsoul musicsamples, which critics noted as reminiscent of West's production style in his earlier work.[4]The song is predominantly built around a sample taken from "Bound", a song by soul-groupPonderosa Twins Plus Onefrom their 1971 album,2 + 2 + 1 = Ponderosa Twins Plus One.[5]Interpolations from "Aeroplane (Reprise)", written by Norman Whiteside and performed by Wee and the line "Uh-huh, honey" from the song "Sweet Nothin's",written byRonnie Selfand performed by country singer,Brenda Lee,were also used in the song.[5][6]Lee reacted to the sampling of her song on the track, saying:

As I've said, it's always nice to be recognized. It says a wonderful thing about Ronnie Self, who wrote the song. That 50 years after it was written, somebody in Kanye's camp knew the song and said, 'Let's use it.' That's a compliment to Ronnie.[7]

In an interview withRolling Stone,Rick Rubinexplained how the song was constructed:

The whole song was written without that main sample; it was a last-minute thing. The song had kind of a lot ofR&B musicin it. And Kanye gave marching orders of "Take out anything you want, but don't add. Just take away." Like, "OK." And before that, we listened to the sample together and thought, "Hmm, maybe there's a way to integrate this into the song." So we started by getting the sample to work in the song, and then taking out as much stuff as we could, and then in the chorus reducing what was this whole musical thing, just this sort of one ugly, distorted bass note. I was thinking likeAlan VegaandSuicide,that kind of noise-synth minimal vibe. So that was the idea behind the chorus: Take it from this sort of R&B thing and turn it into this kind ofpost-punk,edge thing. And the lyrics he wrote were so good and funny. It just turned into a really good record. The sample is so good.[8]

On February 15, 2014,Hudson Mohawkeplayed an original version of "Bound 2" during a DJ set inLeeds.[9]The earlier version features piano-driven production and a much more stripped down ending compared to the album version.[10]Rapper/ProducerTyler, the Creatorrevealed over Twitter that he helped produce the original version along withHudson Mohawke.[11]

Release and promotion

[edit]

"Bound 2" was released on June 18, 2013, as the tenth and final track on West's sixth studio albumYeezus.[12]The song was revealed to be the second single released fromYeezusin August 2013, following "Black Skinhead".[13][14]On September 9, 2013, West appeared onLate Night with Jimmy Fallonfor the first time, to promote his upcomingYeezus Tour.During his appearance, he performed "Bound 2" withCharlie Wilson,the Rootsand a male children's choir. It was his first national television performance of the song.[15]The song was also performed on the season premiere ofLater... with Jools Hollandby West and Wilson on September 17, 2013. To take a more minimal approach, they were accompanied by just the song's signature Ponderosa Twins sample and a brief piano intro for theLater... with Jools Hollandperformance.[16]

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

"Bound 2" received universal acclaim frommusic critics.Rolling Stonedescribed "Bound 2" as "maybe the most audacious song he's ever written, not to mention the most beautiful."[17]Julian Kimble ofComplexcalled the song "a brilliant way to end the album" and wrote that it "stands out as a love song—adark, twisted fantasyof a love song, perhaps, but one that's beautiful in its own way. "[18]David Jeffries ofAllMusicdescribed "Bound 2" as a "new wavebeauty of a closer. "[19]Writing forThe A.V. Club,Evan Rytlewski referred to the song as "an overt homage to West's bright early production, reimaginingThe College Dropout's cheerfulchipmunk soul."[4]Dan Buyanovsky ofXXLcalled it the album's "emotional and musical highlight... a perfect sendoff that reminds you of Kanye's roots while pointing you in the direction of his future."[20]A writer for theKitsap Suncited "Bound 2" as a "classic Yeezy effort" and "arguably the album's best track."[21]

Accolades

[edit]

XXLpositioned it at number 17 on their list of the best songs of 2013. They said, "'Bound 2' showed the doubters that he could still give them the soul-soaked laments that everyone wanted, he just decided not to. But that doesn't mean this song is a throwaway—the video might be more of one than the song itself—this is Kanye's introspection colliding with his self-doubt in a way that is eminently relatable to anyone with a pulse."[22]NMEranked "Bound 2" at number 22 on their list of the 50 best songs of 2013; "in Kanye's mind this is what constituted a pop song: sped up '70s soul samples, a totally unconventional structure and lyrical gems."[23]Pitchfork Mediapositioned "Bound 2" at number 40 on their list of the top 100 tracks of 2013. They commented, "On an album that takes itself awful seriously throughout," Bound 2 "is something that recontextualizes the entire affair, leaving more questions than answers."[24]Belgium magazineLe Vif/L'Expressnamed it the seventh best song of 2013.[25]PopMattersplaced it 15th on its list of the best songs of 2013.[26]Swedish newspaperExpressennamed it the 22nd best song of 2013.[27]"Bound 2" was ranked 9th place on the annualPazz & Jopcritics songs poll.[28]

In end of decade lists,i-Dplaced it 21st on its list of "The 30 Hip-Hop Tracks that Defined the 2010s", commenting; "Having reached his artistic and technical peak somewhere around the 7 minute mark of the monumental" Runaway ", Kanye began taking his creations apart to show how they worked. This consciously self-de(con)structive streak produced diminishing returns as the decade progressed but on something like" Bound 2 "it felt genuinely transgressive—the lush, dusty soul samples of 'the old Kanye' but artificial-seeming (like that ludicrous green screen music video) and jarring; clever-dumb lyrics that mashed together the crude (" don't get spunk on the mink ") and the affecting (" I'm tired, you tired / Jesus wept ") in the space of a few bars."[29]

Rolling Stonelisted it at 65th on its list of the 100 best songs of the 2010s, stating; "Seventy-six seconds into" On Sight, "the gleefully abrasive opener to Kanye West's gleefully abrasive Yeezus, he says (via choral sample) that he intends to give the audience what they need, not what they want. For the next 35 minutes, he does just that, coarsening his textures into something industrial and vital and new. Then, just to prove he can, West brings the beauty back. Over a roughly looped sample of the Ponderosa Twins Plus One – with occasional interjections from Brenda Lee and Charlie Wilson – West returns to his roguish side, penning a filthy ode to his new wife at the time, Kim Kardashian West. There's a reason we’re still paying attention to West after the decade he's had; he's always capable of something you never see coming.[30]

Music video

[edit]
In the music video, a toplessKim Kardashiansits on West's lap as he rides a motorcycle.

On November 16, 2013, it was revealed that West would be premiering the music video for "Bound 2" onThe Ellen DeGeneres Showthe following week.[31]TheNick Knight-directed music video was released on November 19, 2013. The video features his then-fiancéeKim Kardashian,topless, riding atop West'smotorbike(Honda CRF-X) throughMonument Valleyand other landscapes.[32]Eric Diep ofXXLdescribed it as, "a confident display of love and passion with little to no narrative."[33]Spinfelt it was "a pretty bad idea seen through so completely that it stops being a bad idea".[34]Tom Breihan fromStereogumfound the video confusing, saying "it'll take a little bit to figure out what all's going on there".[35]Lanre Bakare ofThe Guardiandescribed it as "self-indulgent, idiosyncratic and a bit weird".[36]By the time that it had reached seven million views on YouTube, the music video's 13,000 likes were outbalanced by the 50,000 dislikes.[37]

In an interview withThe Breakfast ClubWest explained the concept for the video.

"I wanted to take white trash T-shirts and make it into a video. I wanted it to look as phony as possible, I wanted the clouds to go one direction, the mountains to go one direction, the horses to go over there, cause I want to show you that this isThe Hunger Games.I want to show you that this is the type of imagery that's been presented to all of us. And the only difference is a black dude in the middle of it. "[38]

On November 25, 2013, "Bound 3", a parody of the music video was released, starring actorsJames FrancoandSeth Rogen.The parody is ashot-for-shotremake, filmed while they were shooting their movieThe Interview.[39]Afterwards, Kim Kardashian revealed through Twitter that she and West found the video to be very funny.[40]On December 11, 2013, the music video was parodied in theSouth Parkepisode "The Hobbit",where West is shown trying to convince the world that Kardashian is not ahobbit.[41]On December 21, 2013, the video was parodied onSaturday Night Live,with cast members portraying the couple having sex while riding ared-nosed reindeer.[42]

Slant Magazinelisted it 15th on its list of the best music videos of 2013, commenting; "Wherein Kanye continues to dismantle white American iconography, subverting it by placing himself (and his topless reality star of a honey) in the middle of it all. This is Kanye deconstructingMarlon Brando,James Dean,andElvisall at once while instillingfear of a black planet."[43]

Lawsuit

[edit]

On December 23, 2013, Ricky Spicer of thePonderosa Twins Plus Onefiled a lawsuit against West over the sample of the group's song, "Bound," alleging that he used Spicer's voice without permission.[44]Spicer asked that West pay him or cease and desist using his vocals. Roc-A-Fella Records,Universal Music Group,Island Def Jam,andRhino Entertainmentwere all named in the lawsuit along with West.[45]The suit was settled in May 2015.[46]
