What is Reality? I'm Inspired by Kanye West



I love this quote by Margaret Halsey :
"Reality is above all else a variable, and nobody is qualified to say that he or she knows exactly what it is. As a matter of fact, with a firm enough commitment, you can sometimes create a reality which did not exist before".
Word. Folks can say what they wish about rappers, but I'll say this much, they're some of the most prophetic dreamers of our time. Kanye West, who seemingly envisioned his way to the top classifies this experience in his song, "The Last Call" on the College Dropout album.
"You can't say sh** to Kanye West no more
I rocked 20,000 people, I was just on tour, n****
I'm Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don,
Bought my mom a purse, now she Louis Vuitton Mom
I ain't play the hand I was dealt, I changed my cards
I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars
I went to the malls and I balled too hard..."

P.S. Hmmmm really, last time I checked this kid Ye was designing stuff for Louie V., and rocking way more kids on tour than any 20,000. That's it...starting today, I'm B.C.B.G. Shak with the Gucci heeled straps!

Shak

100.
