@squints1234 i have love for real hip hop. kanye never sold out, have u heard my beautiful dark twisted fantasy? it might even be better than college dropout. kanye west is as raw and influential as ever
@squints1234 um college dropout sold 3 million copies. his best selling to date. if thats not mainstream than what is? and my beautiful dark twisted fantasy is better
I miss this old Kanye that didn't sell his soul... when he was all about the lyrics and put his soul in his lyrics and not his in the devil's lyrics...
I Found this live recording, and the one of Imani Azuri and Legend sing Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrel's-If this world were mine. Im wondering where exactly was this performance at. The quality isn't great but its so historical in West and Legends careers i wish i could find some more from this show.
kanye before he became mainstream, such potential. That's the problem with artists , the best stuff they produce is always in the beginning of their career, then they lose that style.
i agree with Mrurnemo kanye is still hot just listen to this song i mean he is just musically talented now sum things that he says out his mouth is pretty f'd up but i mean the man is a great rapper nd producer nd his auto tune is hot i mean heartless nd love lockdown dont front on mr west now
@younginspiration1 kanye has changed... from humble beginnings to well... you should be very aware of his arrogance... if you havent noticed, it comes out in his music too... from soulful to "its good jus cuz im in it"
Beauty is the glue that holds the world together without it, it all falls down problems would never end like a bottom-less pit never reaches ground Kanye admitted it so its time we addressed it Im so insecure my mind lacks composure Im like Paris Hilton on a night out showing of my bits just to feel closure the perfect dream leads to the lowest self esteem living in a world of stereotypes so yet to figure out who I am with my black and white stripes before it all falls down
my first time hearing John ,my 16 year old son use to listen to him all the time. He's a big fan of John.He's about to be 19 this year.I was surprized that he was into music soo deep..John you guys are Great...Peace all around you both
