    May you please do a few vids on Nujabes. I feel in my deepest heart that both Dilla and Nujabes were two of the greatest producers and there's a lot of people that need to know about the genius of Nujabes

    I really love how every kanye album is a story about where he was at life at that point..makes it relatable to the person listening..its like how the quote goes , if you're a fan of kanye you're a fan of yourself

    If you have ever lived at the housethat was the party spot everyone went to when it was time to get crazy instead of being one of the ones that went to someone else's house to party, then you got a small glimpse of what it is like to live as a famous person. Privacy takes on a whole new level of importance. Sometimes you just want to just chill, but can't you are the spot…

    Though Graduation is my personal favorite KW album, I acknowledge the impact that 808 and Heartbreaks had in influencing the next wave of hip hop production for the next decade. And I also can see why MBDTW is considered his magnum opus.

    Another thing about the everything-turned-up quality of 'All of the Lights' is that it's not overwhelming for someone with bipolar going through mania/hypomania, instead it's music turned up in sympathy with one's amped up frequency/intensity -it's the level you feel 'you need' in that part of your wave.

    A way I’ve always looked at All Of The Lights and the interlude before it, is that he is “changing acts” in his performance and slowing it down. The first few songs are big and letting everyone know Kanye can still rap and he knows it. The literal interlude sets the stage for him to get up in front of everyone and address his behavior and actions. He is explaining how everything looks and feels to him. Quite a lot of pressure. “Turn up the lights in here baby I want y’all to see this” could mean “look at everything going on in my life outside of fame “.
