<P> My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, presented at the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012 . The song "All of the Lights" was nominated for Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap / Sung Collaboration, winning in the latter two categories . However, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was not nominated for Album of the Year, which was viewed as a "snub" by several outlets, along with the rejection of Watch the Throne, West's collaborative album with Jay - Z, for that category . In an article for Time, music journalist Touré elaborated on the album's acclaim, called West's nominations in minor categories "booby prizes", and stated, "MBDTF is by far the best reviewed album in many years: the critical community flipped out over it like nothing since Radiohead's zenith . And it sold well, over 1.2 million so far . So what happened? How is it Grammy overlooked Kanye's magnum opus and gave noms to four sonic widgets and Adele's 21?" He explored possible reasons for The Recording Academy to snub him, including split votes between My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Watch the Throne, concerns over West's past controversies, and more commercially appealing nominees, but ultimately stated: </P> <P> What I think may be going on is a lack of respect for hip hop and its complexity from people who care about music but don't know much about hip hop...Predictably, Grammy tends toward pop - friendly hip hop that's easily understood by those who don't understand hip hop . Pop in this regard is not meant as an insult, it's merely music palatable to non-aficionados of the genre...But now that he's released his most mature work, (West is) being ignored . </P> <P> In the Los Angeles Times, music journalist Randall Roberts was critical of the nominations for the 54th Grammy Awards, particularly for the Album of the Year category, noting the exclusion of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, "the most critically acclaimed album of the year, a career - defining record", as a snub in favor of nominating less substantial albums . West, who was vocal in his displeasure with past award snubs, responded onstage during a concert on the Watch the Throne Tour, saying "That's my fault for dropping Watch the Throne and Dark Fantasy the same year . I should've just spaced it out, just a little bit more ." </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Writer (s) </Th> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Th> Length </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1 . </Td> <Td> "Dark Fantasy" </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Kanye West </Li> <Li> Robert Diggs </Li> <Li> Ernest Wilson </Li> <Li> Jeff Bhasker </Li> <Li> Mike Dean </Li> <Li> Malik Jones </Li> <Li> Jon Anderson </Li> <Li> Mike Oldfield </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> RZA </Li> <Li> Kanye West </Li> <Li> No I.D. </Li> <Li> Bhasker </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 4: 40 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2 . </Td> <Td> "Gorgeous" (featuring Kid Cudi and Raekwon) </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Wilson </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> <Li> Jones </Li> <Li> Che Smith </Li> <Li> Corey Woods </Li> <Li> Scott Mescudi </Li> <Li> Gene Clark </Li> <Li> Roger McGuinn </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> No I.D. </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 5: 57 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 3 . </Td> <Td> "Power" </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Larry Griffin, Jr . </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> <Li> Bhasker </Li> <Li> Andwele Gardner </Li> <Li> Ken Lewis </Li> <Li> Francois Bernheim </Li> <Li> Jean - Pierre Lang </Li> <Li> Boris Bergman </Li> <Li> Robert Fripp </Li> <Li> Michael Giles </Li> <Li> Greg Lake </Li> <Li> Ian McDonald </Li> <Li> Peter Sinfield </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> S1 </Li> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Bhasker </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> <Li> Andrew Dawson </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 4: 52 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 4 . </Td> <Td> "All of the Lights (Interlude)" </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Bhasker </Li> <Li> Jones </Li> <Li> Warren Trotter </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 1: 02 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 5 . </Td> <Td> "All of the Lights" </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Bhasker </Li> <Li> Jones </Li> <Li> Trotter </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Bhasker </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 4: 59 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 6 . </Td> <Td> "Monster" (featuring Jay - Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver) </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Shawn Carter </Li> <Li> Patrick Reynolds </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> <Li> William Roberts II </Li> <Li> Onika Maraj </Li> <Li> Justin Vernon </Li> <Li> Bhasker </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> <Li> Plain Pat </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> 6: 18 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 7 . </Td> <Td> "So Appalled" (featuring Swizz Beatz, Jay - Z, Pusha T, Cyhi the Prynce and RZA) </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> Wilson </Li> <Li> Dean </Li> <Li> Carter </Li> <Li> Terrence Thornton </Li> <Li> Cydel Young </Li> <Li> Kaseem Dean </Li> <Li> Diggs </Li> <Li> Manfred Mann </Li> </Ul> </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> West </Li> <Li> No I.D. </Li> <Li> M.
