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.

kanye best

i'm sure you all have seen the december 2007 cover of GQ magazine with none other than kanye west gracing the cover...and i'm sure you know this is the result of him being named "man of the year 2007"

what an honor! i say he deserves it, wonderful son, unparalleled artist, iconic trendsetter, outspoken, i could go on...get yours 'ye!

the roc boys in the building!

i luvs this ish!

i wish 'ye was in it...

according to his blog (which i luvs), he was in dubai...so it's cool this time!
