"I've done work that the wrath of God, fire, steel, time itself will never destroy. Let that day come when it will that will end my life, the day that controls nothing but my body. The greater part of me will fly eternal through the highest stars, and my name will last forever. Wherever on earth people enjoy good music, my name will be on their tongues, and if the stories are true, I will live for an eternity by my fame." - Kanye West

I'm well-versed in Western philosophy and literature, and Kanye West is my favorite musical artist. I personally really dislike some of his newer stuff, but I have to respect the progression and thematic choices made for each album and period of his career. His early stuff is a really poignant memoir of the problems within the black community that are far more complex than, "it's the white man's fault."
