“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. The beat, the first verse, and the hook

His debut album, The College Dropout propelled him into stardom as a hip hop and rap artist. In recent years, Kanye's relevancy to the public has stopped being about his music and more about his personal life.

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

The controversial artist Kanye West has always attempted to make known what he thinks, no matter if he has to be disrespectful or graphic in his illustrations of said topic. So it wasn't a real surprise when he chose to focus his energy into reveling to the American public horrors happening that had a direct connection with the beloved diamond stone. West's 2005 music video “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” shows the corrupted underground diamond trade in the African country, Sierra Leone. From this groundbreaking video, West showed the devastated lives those who worked on the mining rivers live. However upon further investigation into the issue of diamond workers in Sierra Leone there emerged the true source of the situation, a violent

This was also at the time of the Vietnam War the Nixon Administration, and the Lyndon Johnson Administration. It includes world-renowned artist such as Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, and historians.

There’s no way possible they could compile events of ten years into two hours, but they did include information that I have never read before. The Black Panther movement was followed the most.

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you…I’ll let you finish. But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” (West). Most people if they don’t know anything about Kanye West, they know this quote. When anybody hears his name everybody always has an opinion. Some people love him, while a lot of other people hate him, each for a variety of reasons. Though most people only see the arrogant and egotistic side of Kanye, the more important side that people don’t always see is the hardworking musician.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard this, haven’t we? Kanye West’s return to lyrically focused hip hop (a.k.a. “straight bars”) was heralded two weeks ago with the release of “Real Friends”, but “No More Parties in L.A.” is the party piece, a six-minute showcase featuring two of hip hop’s biggest artists trying their very best on top of a storied producer’s beat.

It’s rare that three superpowers

Having the album made this way makes us look over what the message of a song and the album are. Among many rough songs one the most popular on the album was Blood on the Leaves. Blood on the Leaves samples from another song called Strange Fruit sung by Nina Simone which is a very political song talking about gruesome lynchings that happened before and at the turn of the century. With help from the sample, West uses the pain of lynching and drug abuse to compare with the break ups he goes through.
