I see Kanye's music like this... imagine you looking at an old photo album of family pictures, I mean like some late '60 or '70 pictures of ya pops decked out, and ya mom trying to look like pam grier. You when you were lil with your favorite tight ass shirt, and ya sister had on big frame glasses playin patty cake. Everybody at the dinner table for a family gathering. And grandma sitting on her favorite chair. Now if you're begining to feel me, now listen to one of his tracks. Like "H to the Izzo", "Guess who's back", even "Slow Jamz". Nevermind the lyrics, only the beat...
Now if you haven't gotten my point. His music is more vintage and nostalgic. Making us feel like going back to our urban youth... our past. It might be funny to you, but certain tight of music sets a scene and makes a significance to us.
now I could give you Just Blaze's imagination of '70s funk mixed with '80s synths like a modern day "Herbie Hancock" type of feel... but I leave that alone for now.
my 2 cents... gotta love it!
