Yeah, that’s dope. PTSD and all the other mental issues people have to deal with in this day and age are real and need to be respected. Alot of people misuse the diagnosis to get a check or get over but there are people who really need the help. Good move.
Funny thing is that Kanye West is one of the few rappers/artists who are actually “keeping it real”.
He was out doing his thing on the Katrina situation and I loved that.
He did “Diamonds from sierra leone” and “Jesus walks” he showed he was conscious about the worlds situation and i loved that.
Now he takes on the problems with the soldiers.
He is one of hip hop´s most most influential beatmakers and he is allways struggling to be the best whether it is beats, rap, video´s or his show´s.
He never claimed to be gangster, pimp or a hustler but he shure loves them beutefull women and has a good ego,
but aint nothing wrong with that.
He allready got classic tracks under his belt like “Through the Wire”, “All Falls Down”, “Diamonds from Sierra Leone”, “Gold Digger”, “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”.
His 3 albums combined has sold at least 9 millons units ( check for your self If you dont believe me ).
Now if that aint a positive rolemodel and a true artist in the socalled “game” then I dont know who is.
Kanye West is the essence of the original hip hop and still people talk about his clothes ???.
Yeah I´m a big fan of Kanye but I´m also big fan of Scarface, Z-ro, Lil` Wayne, Jay Z, Dogg Pound, 2pac, Nas
T.I, A Tribe Called Quest, Common, Lupe Fiasco, De La Soul, The Game, Snoop Dogg, Chamilionaire, Eazy E, Luda, Timbo, Xzibit, Ruff Ryderz, Method Man.
There are too many to mention and thats just the Hip Hop part because I am also a big fan of Bjork, David Bowie, Prince and Aaliyah to name a few of other genres.
Listen, what I am trying to say is, I hope people gives recognition to a true artist like Kanye West who is doing positive.
this is a great video. great to see kanye showing his face and even better that sway is a part of it because he seems to be the backbone to this episode. makes you smile, ya know
THAT’S WHAT I CALL “PUT ON” SO MANY RAPPERS TALK ABOUT KEEPIN IT REAL, AND HELPING OTHERS I CAN ONLY RECALL TWO PEOPLE DOING THAT MR. WEST AND MR. JAY-Z.
P.S KIM JONES; KEEP KANYE NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, MAKE HIS NAME TASTE LIKE ASS WHEN, YOU SPEAK IT!!!!!!

Good move Kenye. You are becoming more than a name
July 29th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
It’s so funny that ya’ll can put up a story about an artist being gay or a brawl at a show and have pages of comments.
But as soon as someone does something good for another human being that deserves some good luck…no one cares.
I’m embarrassed to have to say this shit. Now watch the Kanye tight clothes comments or some other juvenile b.s.
My brothers and sisters are really becoming a disappointment.
