First of all, the man has something to say. He has something to contribute to the music industry. We all know he really didn't let Taylor Swift finish what she had to say the night at the MTV VMA's. When he stated his opinion on what the best female video Should had been for Beyonce. But you must admit the man has talent, and has the biggest balls. When he has his mind set, he shoots for the stars. But for Kanye, it's not about the ego. It's about the music.
Kanye does things in music that no one has done before in hip hop. He practically introduced the "auto tune sound" to the mainstream hip hop world. Kanye is also a master of sampling. He really amazes me with his musical insight. Not only he adores hip hop, he adores rock music, such as Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones just as much as he loves hip hop. I noticed in his "Graduation" album he sampled the song "Sing Swan Song" from the experimental rock band "Can", on to his song "Drunk Hot Girls". I was shocked
he used that in a sample because not a lot of people have heard of Can unless you like experimental music. Or just a music buff in general like me. He blows me away with his knowledge of music..
Kanye Talks about life in his work, he draws you into his lyrics which are referenced metaphorically
in a lot of songs, To me that is interesting for a hip hop artist. Usually they babble and speak's in a lame with lyrics.
Kanye at times puts on a metaphorical way of communication in his songs. But is Powerfully blunt. He really has a style of his own when it comes to writing . He keeps me interested through out his albums. Most people had a bad reception to "808 and heartbreaks" due to it was rather depressing, and wasent like " Late Registration" ,"College drop Out" or "Graduation".When "808's was released, He made a "David Bowie move". Like when David Evolved from his "Ziggy Stardust" persona. Kanye evolved to another level in his musical journey. He entered a new stage in his life and in music.
To me the "808's" album was genius being that is how he felt at the time due to losing his mother tragically. You can feel the heart break in it. When it starts out with The song "Say You Will", you feel his pain. You rarely can pick up emotions in a lot of todays hip hop. He definitely works with musical emotional expression perfectly... Yes Kanye has had some controversy. But what can we say? The man does what he wants to do. And like I said he has balls unlike most people in the music industry. Sure he has pissed off a lot of people. Whether it be the Hurricane Katrina incident where he publicly criticized George W. Bush on national television, stating "George W. Bush does Not care about black people". Yeah.. That was quite ballsy to say such a vulgar statement on national television.. But could You do it? Can you picture Any other artist or celebrity do that or say that? I think Kanye did something this country is granted with, but people are still afraid of using this given luxury, which is (Freedom Of Speech). So I give the man credit for what he had to say about the whole Katrina incident. Takes a lot of guts to publicly criticize The President of the United States on live National Television. And about the Taylor Swift "interruption" at the MTV VMA's. When I saw that I wanted to give Kanye a high five! I was literally Crying because I was laughing so hard. Because the man Does not give a flying Fuck!!! Kanye Is Going to say, what Kanye has to say! I respect him for his brutal honesty.
So I must say Kanye is in a league of his own. People try to follow his path, but cant keep up. The man has too many roads in his path. He takes his work in all directions. Its not just hip hop to him, its Art. So look out Rick Ross!! Look out Gucci Mane!! Let your ears behold "Intelligence", from the Artistic, Daring, and unique sounds. The Power of Kanye West!!!
My most recommended album By Kanye West is "Graduation"..
