My all time favorite artist is rapper Kanye West. Born in Atlanta,GA but reps Chicago. I feel like is one great artist this is left in this rap industry. Kanye west has all the creativity a person can have. Producing many beats for many artist and artist's albums and also making grammy nominated albums and songs. Kanye west is a rapper that can never go old. always switching up his style and never rapping corny rap lyrics like most artist these days. His debut album won a grammy to me kanye west is a genius. Every album he's made i have. Kanye west is also very real. Never beating around the bush and spits the truth doesnt hold back for anything. and to me thats what rap needs. Kanye west knows how to put a song together from beats to lyrics he is the best. People need to notice talent and kanye west has it all. Lyrics,Creativity,and is Assertive. Kanye west always spits whats real. his lyrics are mainly based on what goes on in america. he keeps the knowledge into rap. instead of rapping about things like drugs and money. well he does but he isnt rapping about it every song. and when he is its always in a creative way. Kanye is just real. and is the realest.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_west
