68. He's never, ever attached any real importance to anything but his music. This is ignorance.
Mon Feb 9, 2015, 04:51 PM
Feb 2015

He infused so much gospel, R& B and invented the thematic of personal progress in his art. He showed so much how into hip hop and rap can embrace and use other musical genres.

From eight years ago:




"...The glory the story the chain the polo the Nike the chronic
Empty bottles of no do's
Tank on empty whipping my mamma's Volvo
I spent that gas money on clothes with logo's
The furrest man that shit that you don't floss
The Goyard so hard man, I'm Hugo's boss
Why I gotta ask what that to door cost
House on the hill
Two doors from Tracey Ross
And I'm asking about her girlfriends yeah the dark skinned ones
She asking about the speed boats yeah I admit we rented 'em
When you meet me in person what does it feel like
I know, I know I look better in real life
I hear people compare themselves to BIG a lot
You know BIG and Pac, you know to get it hot
I guess after I live I wanna be compared to BIG
Anyone big pun big l or notorious
Fit in
Get money and stunt and stay glorious
And I'm gonna start killin' these niggas as soon as the chorus hit

[chorus sample]

No no I can't study war
Yeah I'm gonna start killin' these niggas soon as the chorus hit
I can't study war
No no
Uh
These haters be killing themselves they wanna come and get the glory
No no I can't study war
No no I can't study war
Uh
No no I can't study war
The glory.."

I will never relate to the Kanye hating on DU. It's stupid, really.

Taylor Swift was 20 years old, no where near a "little girl" and Beck is older than Kanye Number23 Feb 2015 #191
I think maybe the poster meant that Taylor Swift is slight of stature mythology Feb 2015 #219
At 5'11, Swift is taller than Kanye. And all of these "theories" are really quite fascinating. Number23 Feb 2015 #246
