kanye is a perfect example of how a beat can make a rapper famous..... howa rapper flows and his message means nothing anymore....i miss the old days
kanye did have a message tho. he was all positive, trying to change rap for the better. he doesnt rap about guns and violence, and made a point out of the fact that he doesnt rap about those things in one of his songs. so he does have a message.
really, saying the message in the music isn't there is a washed up thing to say. if you only listen for messages you have misunderstood the concept of music, and when there's a message there that you avoid seeing, i smell hate.
i say all of this without having heard the song or seen the video. i'm at work. i'm just saying in general to you and people who share your opinion.
