Being the big Kanye fan that I am; I flew out to New York ecstatic knowing that during my stay I would be able to meet Mr. West, and get my signed certificate. Turning the corner at FYE, and the kids are already chanting "la la la" with the cutouts on. It finally hit me; Im about to meet my idol. And I have no shame in saying that. So I pre-ordered my album, threw on my Kanye Wezzy shades and I'm in full effect for the man of the hour.
I'm not even gone trip on the fact that he wasn't on time cause you know what he'd say "I'll be there in five minutes-five hours later, I'll be there in five minutes-im so wild wit it. Been bulls**tin but I finally arrived with it-I know it's late & I took all year but you can stop complaining cause im finally here".
And then the car pulled up; Don C, then yessir Mr.WEST! Kids believe the hype, dude was fresh and you know his crew was fly. That's when the shit hit the fan. Security was crazy; you would have thought the president had just walked up in FYE. Immediately they started stressing that there were no cameras allowed, WTF! NO PHOTOS, fam you telling me I'm bout to meet my idol and I cant get a picture!?! Yea I was feeling real salty bout that for a minute. But fuck it I'm still bout to see him. As soon as I walked threw the doors my purse was passed down to about twenty security guards. ((lol)) Nah I'm lyin', but that's what it felt like. Mr. West was giving a very simple look but simplicity kills all. So I know you all are wondering what was said when I finally meet him. Well I'm not going be exact but I keep it simple. Never been the type to go dumb when meeting a celeb for the first time. And I mean- I had to let him know I had swag too.
So the time has come and the numbers are in; Kanye WON! DUH! If you didn’t know that before 9/11/07 then you’re STUPID. Now that all the Britney drama has calmed down Mr. West should have your full undivided attention. Sorry I’m a die hard Kanye fan and I only give props when it due, so here we go. I’m pumpin’ this album so hard and once again going mention that the art work on the album was done by the famous Japanese pop artist Murakami.
As for the music, you know Kanye does none other than give you quality G.O.O.D music. Listening to Ye just makes me want to get my shit together; strait up organize my closet and fly to Japan to invest in some Murakami. It’s such a summertime soundtrack, aside from being the soundtrack to my life. From “Good Life” being that cookout banger—to “Stronger” roaring from the drop-top. Graduation is defiantly going to be giving me light on those dreary and cold winter days. And my favorite joint would have to be “I Wonder”. It’s just one of those songs I just want to scream at haters when they ask me why I do the things I do.
The album is such a classic. I can’t stress that enough that if you don’t already have it, go get it. There’s something for everyone, from that ultra confidence banger like “Champion” and when you need a boost to finish a days hard work “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is that go to song. The story telling in “Big Brother” is like no other. I mean---the lyrics are just NASTY. Damn Ye you really put yo foot in this one. Now let me just end this by saying; did you see The Education of Kanye West on BET? When was the last time you since a rapper performing playing the piano!?! Pssssh….smh. He’s a genius and I don’t use that word loosely.
ps- Hey 50, does this mean your retiring? lol
((fyi: smh-shaking my head))
kick rocks, DUECES!
