Kanye West On ‘Rap City’ (2004)

Freshman Friday.


Before Obama became the most famous person from Chicago, Kanye set the tone 10 years ago today with his debut The College Dropout. Thematically, the became a template for artists like Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and J.Cole. Thanks to TheDYNAMICS, here’s Kanye’s first appearance on Rap City. He talks about the album, wanting a Ma$e feature, and future aspirations. A decade later, it seems as if Ye got what he came for.
