LINK: The sort of guy we all should be supporting:
"West is a comedian, social critic, hedonist, and Christian, but until College Dropout came out last week he was known primarily as a producer. A typical West beat uses samples of old records in conjunction with live instruments to summon the woody, musky feel of '70s soul without devolving into a period piece...
West's productions probably are not the reason he is experiencing such rapid success. It's his sense of self: He's funny, and he can parody himself, which is rare as hen's teeth in hip-hop now. Anyone who puts a completely sincere song about God ("Jesus Walks") and a completely insincere exercise routine ("The New Workout Plan") on his debut record is not unduly worried about what people will think of him."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
