Well thats because you are, and if you didn’t do what I said, or even care, the radio station 101.1 plays hip hop and Rnb hits from the 90’s and the early 00’s.

What is happening to Kanye West? At this point, it’s anyone’s guess. Everything that can be said has been said about the Chicago rapper’s abnormal behavior and illogical ramblings over the past month, which currently range from West espousing on “dragon energy” to claiming that African-Americans in the 1800’s chose to be enslaved. It’s safe to say these accounts do not dissuade the infamous image that West’s constructed since his musical debut in the early 2000’s, though for many, his statements
