@blaqceeza It takes a hell of a lot of exposure to the American black community to get 90% + of hip hop references... which you may have. But if a black woman pledges a sorority, it's usually either AKA or Delta. Those are super huge household names in black America, and they fiercely rival one another. Whichever one they choose strongly suggests what kind of black woman they're choosing for be. 💃🏿

Seems like one of those crazy fate things. If Kanye is never in that car accident, he is never in that hospital, and never hears "Through The Wire", or has the time to work it out in his head. Maybe without Kanye is just a producer without the song. Talk about turning a bad thing into a good thing.

Brilliant track, really changed the game in a lot of ways. Sadly can’t look past the fact that he flaunted getting a lawyer to avoid having to pay the other driver’s hospital bills. Kanye was already really well off financially, and the other man, a manager for a janitorial company, was left with a totaled car, two broken legs, a broken pelvis, broken knees, a shattered ankle and was out of work for over a year. Kanye turning lemons into lemonade for himself would be a lot sweeter if he took care of the dude who’s life he destroyed

I was just a bass player, got bit by the beat making bug, and all of a sudden, my skills as a bass player became exponentially more valuable to what I was working on. I always say, when people would ask what instruments they should learn if they want to make beats, go get yourself a bass! It's so nice to be able to know I won't have to sweat about a bassline ever lol. I digress... You're doing amazing work. People pay tuition for this level of content, and you're making it for the streets for free.99.

I wish I knew how to do it. I hear so much in my head and don't know what to do with it

thank you so much for explaining those lyrics....genius can't hold a candle to you, especially that Jamaican reference always had me puzzled....

Regardless of what people think. Kanye is one of the most influential artist of our generation. People want to pigeon hole an artists way of thinking. He is expanding the social dialog and people cannot stand that. Pure genius

Bro your videos are amazing. You deserve waaayyy more subs and views. This is top tier stuff.

WOW such a well made video. It's incredible you don't have at least 100k subscribers. A tip: the Ye, Death Grips, Pink Floyd and The Beatles fanbases are HUGE in the internet and I think you can make some videos about some of their most famous songs to boost your channel.
