“Power” is a song that was released in Kanye West’s 2010 album called “My Beautiful Dark Twister Fantasy.” This particular song is one of my favorite songs of all times because it gives me a combination of eustress and distress as well. The song is extremely upbeat, which often leads me to dance and smile while singing the lyrics. In addition, the first verse of this song empowers me because it states that the singer is living in the 21st century trying to live his life and impact society bigger than anyone. The hook of this song also plays a major role in why it’s song inspiring to me because it speaks about having power and one must take advantage of the time to reach success.

Kanye West also known as "Yeezy" is American rapper, fashion disaster, and also music producer. People may say that Mr. West is our youth of today voice. He has made a tremendous mark in the music and fashion industry. As we all know Mr. West is known for having his moments. It is safe to say that he has the best and top “omg” Moments, such as interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMA’s. Kanye in the begging when he first came on the hip hop scene was this calm, joyful, his music in my eyes was the most different music out at the time, just because he wasn’t rapping about what everyone else was. Kanye was one of those joyful guys, everybody wanted him on his record or produce it. Then a tragic event occurred where his mom died. After then you see

Kanye West produced the popular song “All Falls Down” in 2004. He is well known for creating many wonderful tunes but this one stands out above the rest. While his other songs contain bass-heavy instrumentals and contain lyrics about money and women, this one is strays away from the previous structures. “All Falls Down” catches the attention of youth, with its mellow melody, to send a strong message concerning the overemphasis on money and education and how it can be harmful through the lyrics. The issues contained in the message are highly focused on the idea that money and education will not always be there

Somehow the artist convinced Dash to sign him: “With reluctance Damon Dash signed West to Roc-A-Fella in 2002…” (“Kayne”). That was his big break. Kanye West was not given everything he has today. To get to the place where he is today, he had to fight like a warrior. He fought until he got signed to Roc-A-Fella, but soon after he got signed, he got into a serious accident that caused his jaw to be wired shut. Thankfully that didn’t stop him. He wrote an amazing song “Through the Wire,” and later got it produced. As stated before, Kanye West went through especially hard obstacles. He got rejected many times from various producers.

With this change in subject matter, a wider scope of people can listen to hip hop and relate to the problems that everyone experiences, even Kanye West. Many music critics and fans believed hip hop can only be based on the abrasive lyrics it previously was, and if a change were to happen it would only make hip hop worse. With Kanye’s debut album The College Dropout, Kanye “[Demonstrated] that being socially conscious didn’t have to equate with being boring” (“15 Ways Kanye”). With the majority of rap listeners listening to the likes of 2Pac, B. I. G, or Snoop Dogg, who expressed mostly gang related sentiments, most believed anything else would be lyrically boring, but Kanye West changed this social stigma. However, this was not the only change Kanye created with the release of his debut

This connects to the argument against the concentration of power by alluding to the fact that once Barack Obama became president, his power led to America being put into a state of pure disgust. Whether or not
