polyphony.

inspiration.



i was on the bus riding home from an interview today, and i decided i'd pop kanye west's college dropout in the cd player. up until this point, i had never given the cd a full fair spin, and it's crazy because i actually bought this cd. the day it dropped.

i get through the album, and come to a song with beat i had heard before... Last Call.

why this song bring me to tears yo?

i dont know.

i couldnt tell you.

it was a combination of interviewing for a job i know i wont like, not sellin no beats, the rain, the stupid get up i had on to impress a bunch of people who could really care less, the story he told mirroring mine to a certain point, and the hate kanye catches for being how he is in the eye of the media.

i felt good for him, and i felt like my chances were that much better because dude did it.

i know im romanticising it, and that everybody's got a sob story, everybody's got challenges, but alot of these rap niggas, you don't really get to hear the true struggles they had. just hear em talk about it, and literal ups and downs they had to wrestle with to get to where they are.

if they all had a track like that on they albums, we as the consumer could understand that egregious braggadocio... cuz kanye had to earn that sht.

i don't deify rap dudes. i respect dudes who stay on they grind until they get they shine.
