here's a vid i stumbled across on youtube posted by chicagoan99...it's a mash up of original music sampled by kanye west...of all of the comments regarding the vid, about 97% were negative, criticizing him for not being unoriginal, talent, arrogant and blah, blah, blah...but he gets props from me...there's a wide range of music genre and artists that he samples from...i think it's a great talent in and of itself to be able to hear something, internalize it, interpret it, and then re-invent it in a way that is a true expression of you.

so i say, keep doing you kanye...and other artists of various genres and mediums and keep blessing the world with your art.
