Awake Late

I really need to stop taking naps so late.

I really love Kanye West's music. He may not have the best reputation, but I will never dislike his artistic talent as a musician. He breaks barriers in hip-hop to not only improve himself, but to re-define the hip-hop industry's image.

Honestly, I think people only see his temper tantrums and his arrogant behavior and never recognize the talent that he truly has. Producing tracks for some of the hottest hip-hop and r&b tracks out there, I am proud to say that I am a fan.



This is one of my favorite songs by Kanye called "Heard Em Say" featuring the ever so sexy, Adam Levine. I really enjoy this song because it discusses inner city life and the desire for wealth through drugs and hustling the streets. It also talks about the influence adults have on children in these urban communities. It's pretty personal to me, having lived in a society where minorities honestly believe that dealing drugs is a far better option than getting an education.

Though this has been spoken about in the past through rap music, I still respect Kanye for admitting that there are problems with this mentality rather than glorifying it in the media. I enjoy the art in this video as well, it's really old school and original by an indie artist. Sorry I forgot his name, it's at the end but I looked up his work and it's awesome!

In the end, I love his music that delivers a message about society rather than his antics on awards shows and his DIARY ENTRIES THAT ARE ALWAYS IN CAPS LIKE THIS.
