What Is Going On In My Head? I'm Kinda Like A Big Deal...

If you know me personally, you may know how much of fan I am of Kanye West. I know, I know, HE'S AN EGOTISTICAL ASSHOLE WHO CAN'T SING (but still made a good album regardless). I have friends who say to get off his penis and so on...

LISTEN, this man right here is a BIG reason why Hip Hop is how it is right now. He made Hip Hop into not being about just hoes, money, and other pointless shit. To be honest, I wouldn't have liked this genre so early, or even at all if it wasn't for him. People might have still thought baggy clothes were cool (urban kids that is), and Soulja Boy might have been the new Kanye (haha). I remember sitting in class with my friend Charles (middle school) and hearing Jesus Walks for the first time. It was from that point on that I became so infatuated with Hip Hop and Rap.

I even remember how my father got his first album "The College Dropout" because he liked it. To me he wasn't talking about useless stuff, their was a story behind it. Something that I think Lil Wayne and other rappers don't do as often. Every album he has come out has been something new that others haven't done before. He changes the game every time he makes music and it's hard not to agree with that. College Dropout lyrically changed how rappers made music, Late Registration had more meaningful lyrics, the sounds from the beats we're out of this world, and the look of a rapper being a "thug" went out the window, Graduation defeated the blabbering mouth of 50 cent with the modernization of his lyrics and rhymes, and 808's and Heartbreak (RNB album) was deep and emotional using the sounds of auto tune.

Yeah Ye' may be an asshole, but he makes good music and has affected out generation immensely. He's a smart person, just foolish at times, but look and listen to what he's been through. Maybe I'm on his jock too much but this is how I view him. I think he's the musical artist of the decade in all honesty but a lot of people wouldn't agree because of his recent behavior. At least he served food to homeless people in LA (nice guy?).

Oh well. He's making music. I'm weird and I follow his blog, which is pretty entertaining, and this is the end of my rant haha.

P.S. Thought I show this cool freestyle Kanye threw down, there's not many of them lol (sold soul to the devil? wtf? I don't think anything of it :D)
