Hey guys, as you know, today is Kanye's B-day. I've got at least 2 posts about him today. The first is just a My Thoughts blog. Hey You knew it was coming!!!! lol
Kanye is my #1 favorite rapper, but he wasn't always. It started in late 2003 when i first heard the single, "Through the Wire". It was a great song, but honestly i didn't think much of it. Then there was Slow Jamz. I really liked that song. Sh** the hits kept coming. One of my friends, Jay, (R.I.P.) let me hear his first album the College Dropout back in early 2004. I loved it.
Fast forward to summer 2005 when Late Registration dropped. Some regard this as his best album. I literally was so hype I got a nose bleed the night I got it. (a little too hype huh). Fast forward to 2007 when Graduation dropped. By then it was clear this guy was my favorite rapper.
In 2008 i heard 808s and Heartbreak, and liked it. However I remember not being a fan of "Love lockdown" when I first heard it. Anyways fast forward to Summer 2010., I heard "Power" and thought wow, this next album will be different, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was just that. It was also his best work to date overall.
In 2011 Kanye continued his path of success with a duo cd with Jay-z. It was good, but nothing spectacular. After that he dropped Cruel Summer which i liked alot in 2012. 2013's Yeezus was pretty good all things considered.
To me Kwest is in rare company with rap's greats. And oh yeah, he married Kim Kardashian. That's a lot to brag about. He may be arrogant but damn he has an unrivaled discography in rap!!
