The Homie: Louis Vutton Don to Broken Heart

Everything I say is interpretive according to my own personal outlooks and beliefs. But…
Ever notice how great Kanye’s College Dropout is? Well I feel it’s even greater now being able to listen to it as a college senior. Once again, my eyes have been opened anew due to the life experiences and personal growth. Of course his album was great and groundbreaking in 2003-2004, but now in 2010—I’m different, Kanye’s different, and the industry is as always…different.
College Dropout simultaneously seriously and jokingly criticizes how the system manufactures people. It’s like an assembly line that Kanye was just too big to fit on. That’s what I figured out in 2003. Now I understand that I’ve been participating in exactly what he told us, as if he foreshadowed what my collegiate life would resemble.
Kanye had a theme in the beginning. He started with this uppercut jab to the jaw of the structure of education. Every LP title from his debut to his third was a reference to the school system, until his 4th album (the turn of his life that altered everything).
{1. College Dropout 2. Late Registration 3. Graduation 4. 808’s & Heartbreaks}
And one could tell that he was no longer about educating his fan base, but rather that he was declaring a set of emotions that people don’t usually wish to expose; he was depressed. Surely anybody could argue with me about the prior statement. [For instance: most artists use their respective mediums to express feelings that people don’t usually expose openly. Like Eminem, KiD CuDi, and/or Corinne Bailey Rae]. So here’s my counterargument Eminem was/is angry—that’s how he funnels his depression, KiD CuDi felt neglected in the early years of his life—“so be it” is his attitude, and CBR was suddenly widowed—that’s a relative shock. Kanye was simply heartbroken, two separate loves of his life left him alone inexplicably. All in all there’s nothing wrong with this emo look he’s trying on, I mean he is one for the dramatic flare, though that doesn’t discredit his saddened emotions. He is truly amazing in his work—and all those new blogs that he’s posting about the meaning of life in his own definitions, and so on, are GREAT! Just the right words to put it, if that’s your state of mind. He’s not crazy…he’s creative. That’s it.
......And I learned recently that he will be returning to us (his faithful fanbase) with a 5th LP that realigns with his original hip-hop themes. It's called "Good Ass Job", which is the perfect conclusive title to his message. It would have been album #4 had he not experienced life and stuff. But all in all, I can't wait for his return!
