âIf youâre a Kanye West fan, youâre not a fan of me, youâre a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. Iâm just the espresso.â Now, I wouldnât say or claim that Iâm a Kanye âsuper fanâ (friends and family may tell you different đ
). I donât own every album, know every lyric or weird trivia facts. I have always been drawn to Kanye and inspired by him because of his drive. I love pretty much all of his work as an artist, musician and producer, and I do think he is and look at him as a genius. Iâm sure you can hear his influence in a lot of my beats and productions. From soulful sample selections, to little vocal hits, to carefully strategized over production or experimentation. The thing I have always admired about Kanye is that there are no limits to what he is capable of. If he says heâs going to do something, you had better bet Kanye. When I sit down at my computer to start creating, with my yeezus painting looking over me, itâs like that extra push, the voice inside my head, reminding me that Iâm capable of anything I put my mind to. I just gotta do it. Is obviously heard the song Spaceship before, though Iâll admit itâs definitely been a minute. When I listened to it yesterday these lyrics really stuck out and resonated with me: âLock yourself in a room Doing five beats a day for three summers That's A Different World like Cree Summer's I deserve to do these numbersâ - Kanye West, Spaceship Iâve been making music for about a decade now, but with XOVID hitting last year Iâm going in to my second summer of âlock yourself in a room doing five beats a dayâ. To be honest Iâve been seeing crazy results, achieving goals and dreams and really creating the life I want to live doing what I love. And thatâs the thing with Kanye, thereâs always a lyric, or quote or something that pushes, inspires and motivates me. Maybe one day Iâll reach Ye status and inspire someone the way Iâve been inspired by Ye. âAsk any dope boy you know, they admire 'Yeâ - Kanye West, New God Flow I love Kanye, and not just the old Kanye.
