Kendrick Richmond

What an amazing body of art. In Kanye’s 5th studio album, he takes on the ultimate challenge of returning to the spotlight amidst the heated VMA’s controversy and his self seclusion from the media and even the studio. Dealing with fame is a task nobody is up for until you’re actually there, but nobody on earth has experienced fame in the same way that Kanye has. No longer the pink polo soul sampling bight eyed underdog, he became a juggernaut in music with this album and proved to everyone that he was going nowhere with this album. His creative genius, willingness to create something bigger than himself, and his stream of consciousness takes front and center stage to depict the dark twisted fantasy that is simply fame and how he personally dealt with that up to this point. A flawless 10/10 album and one of the best ever created
