YEEZYFLUENCE: Let’s take a moment to talk about how Kanye West influences each of us on an individual level. Besides helping run this blog with my fellow broYe, JC, I also run a photography blog called Junagraphy. Anyone who listens to Yeezy and goes through my work would be able to see the hints of Ye influences here and there. No doubt, the man’s aesthetic as a whole has had its influence on my art, my fashion, and even some of my personal philosophies. All I know is if I ever succeed in my own endeavors, I’d have to admit… YEEZY TAUGHT ME.
“People always say that you can’t please everybody. I think that’s a cop-out. Why not attempt it? ‘Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.”
“I do have an ego and rightfully so. I think people should have an ego. Think about it - I don’t offend people, I don’t put anyone down. Do I name names or bring people down? That’s not my thing. But I give myself big-ups. I feel good about the music I make.”
“I’m a star, how can I not shine?”
- Three of my favorite Kanye West quotes.
Who’s got their own Yeezyfluence stories?
A Great Saturday in tribute to the man behind Good Friday. If any of you know me… You know I love Kanye West. (After all, I run FYKW with JC, which also makes a cameo in the background.) I was anticipating My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy for a while now. My hard copy of the album just came in today! Definitely a piece of music history.
I hope you all have your copy by now!
For today’s Great Saturday, the two albums that have been dominating my speakers this month… Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, masterpieces in their own right, no doubt.
The albums of Kanye West and his favorite artist of the moment, Kid Cudi.
G.O.O.D. Music…
