Kanye West has had enough of the hippity hop!
Love him or hate him, it’s safe to say that Kanye West is one of the best artists of our time. His knack for rhythm, melody and beats are unmatchable in the realm of hip hop. He has an open mind to different sounds and is never afraid to experiment. That is what drew me to Kanye in the first place, another aspect that I always found endearing was his complete and utter disregard for what people think of him. Sure he’s made headlines saying stupid things and I do not agree with him on all his political-mumbo-jumbo. But, give him a mic and a beat, and I am sold! Kanye has also differentiated himself to other rappers like Jay-Z and Nas by writing music about other things rather than drugs, sex, and selling either one of them.. there is a subtle cockiness and an equal subtlety to his quips.
Last year, Kanye released “Graduation” and showed growth with the infusion of techno-pop. It seems Kanye has taken this baton and decided to sprint with it headstrong! A lot has occurred in Wests’ life to get him to his current CD “808s and Heartbreak” (a sticky breakup with his fiancee and the death of his mother). So ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to Kanye West.. the king of emo-hip-hop!!
