Kanye Keeps it Real!

I tell you who does that, my soul mate Kanye Omarie West. I know what you're thinking,"Please not another blog about this dude"! Well, it is! I get so sick and oh so tired (Not really, though. I could care less, but I need a reason to say what I'm about to say) of dudes,specifically rappers claiming they keeps it real! On the real, who is to say what is real. Not just real talk, but real. Yeah, I love Jigga just as much as the next hip hop head, but more than likely he DID sell drugs in his prime, but dude wasn't pitching "BIG game" if you know what I mean. He was probably nickeling and diming, maybe selling an ounce or two just like any other local dealer. He just has "real talk". Sorry J, I ain't buying it. And Biggie? I like him too, but he was hardly doing 1/10 of what he claims on the hit classic,"Dead Wrong". Again, that was just "real talk",not "real". Now, there's nothing wrong with NOT "keeping it real" but I just think we should acknowledge how Kanye does keep it real.If you listen to his raps, he rarely threatens to kill anyone or let alone hit or rape (lil Webby) someone. Now, in his classic "Spaceship" he does rap "If my manager assaults me again/I will be assaulting him/after I f**k the manager up/then I'm going to shorten the register up". In all honesty, the way this dude cries about not getting an award, I really do think he would fight his own boss. But that's neither here nor there. I guess I feel I can relate to 'Ye like because he comes from a middle class family and was probably pretty sheltered his whole life. But you didn't see him entering the rap game with baggy jeans (also known as the "wear my pants low for easy access pants) , white tee's, grilled out mouth and always throwing bitches and hoes in his videos. And honestly in my book, that is exactly what a breakout artist is known to do. Not that they ARE that way, but that is what is marketable. Kanye came with the preppy polo style look and not ashamed of his love for fashion. He went platinum and doesn't rap guns. I love that. I love that he raps like a dude from the suburbs. Just real talk when he rymthes. This is the main reason why I even started on this blog. Please take a second to watch:




"That nigga Beans, that ain't no studio rapper! I'm not beefing with Beans! That nigga don't give a f**k" LMAO!!! I'm sorry, I love Kanye with a crazy passion, but that ish was funny. It doesn't get any more "real" than that. Any other rapper would have seen this as an opportunity to beef and hype themselves up for more sales and spins (*cough*cough, Soulja Boy and Ice T), but Kanye played that down! And that's what I love about him! He knows Beanie is a real street dude, but yet he was still man enough to be like "dude, just respect me". That is what real is. You could say he went out like a punk, but a smart man knows his boundaries. I don't blame him. I wouldn't dare try to have beef with Remy Ma. Hell, she shot her bestfriend, so they say. And on another note, that nigga Ye is hott enough that he don't need to play out no beef with anyone! Period! Lyrically, he ain't better than Jigga, but I bet Hov wouldn't dare drop his album the same day as Ye! That's just how hott he is! Yeah I said it! Remember, dont you dare judge me!!
