I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for DONDA. It is the greatest album of all time! Plus you’re back with JAY-Z, AHHHH you made my wildest dreams come true! And that Lionel Messi line is the best thing EVER! And there’s also Lauryn Hill! Oh, thanks man. So much greatness in this album! It’s like this album was custom made for me! Thank you God. I wished and prayed for a project this complete. I will be honest, I didn’t like that 7 track project. The day it was released was the worst day of my life. That’s not the Kanye I know. Sure we can talk about short attention spans and appealing to a new demographic but that’s not enough of a justification. To this day I omit it from your collection. Jesus Is King was awesome and I lived off Jesus Is Born. Jesus Is Born is my favorite album EVER! Thank you for Jesus Is Born, it helped me persevere through hard times. It recharged my spirit, It gave me faith. My congratulations stretches out to everyone in the team for a great job well done. I appreciate Jesus Is Born, thank you.
I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, I know you doing all that you can still, I am waiting for that project with Dr. Dre that you hinted with that picture you once posted on social media. And can we please get a “Watch The Throne 2”? It doesn’t have to be now, take your time. I am willing to wait patiently for the project. It’s fine even if the album comes out in 10 years time, I will grateful for it.
I’ve always known and believed in my heart and spirit that I’d get a project like DONDA. People I know wrote you off but not me. I know Kanye, from Freshmen Adjustment, College Drop-out, Late Registration, Graduation, 808’s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus, The Life Of Pablo and Jesus Is King. Oh snap! DONDA is better than Dark Fantasy! No, I am being rash, I can’t say that – I am just confused. Let me not compare the two projects. I just really love DONDA.
I have lived for 26 years and maybe I have a limited scope but 2021 is my best year EVER! Lionel Messi won Copa America, Cristiano Ronaldo is back at Manchester United and Kanye West released the greatest album of all time!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making my year! I pray God protects you and grants you everything you want and need. God bless and thank you for DONDA.
Propelled by a woman’s love. She projected her spirit onto me. She looked at me and dreamt, dreamt of the impossible, dreamt of the mthyical, the mystical. She was intrigued, subjegated, locked in trance. She was hopeful. Her eyes gleamed with excitement. Through me she saw the avenues that where hidden to her by life, by the universe, by God. Her reality was renewed, refreshed and she was rejuvenated. It was like she was a child again, innocent and pure eagerly waiting for Christmas with all its cheer, new clothes and presents. She believed in me like a Christian blinded by faith, for she could see the potential. She was a visionary who understood that to attain success you have to give up what is, to sustain what could be. A long shot? Sure, but in life you have to gamble on yourself. Bet on yourself to beat the odds and get even with the universe. Believe it or not, everything in the world is set up for you to win. Life is all about you, life revolves around you. You are the center of the universe. She projected onto me, bid all her money on me, attached her spirit on me, me – the biggest underdog in the world. Her energy is not misplaced.
I have demon that possess me. It helps me do things that are above me. I have learned to harness the energy and power of this demon within me. When I engage in a creative activity, it takes a hold of me and forcefully pushes me aside. I let it man-handle and dominate me. I let it take control of my body. I let it roam freely in my mind. I find that the demon makes me better in the activities of life even though I am prisoner to it, a slave, a passenger, an accomplice. I don’t know where the energy of the demon comes from, it’s so violent, unsympathetic, unrestricted and chaotic. The demon has explored other domains of my life like a cancer. It now dictates my everyday life, leaving me with time to detach from my body. I often float over my body like a ghost, observing beforehand the routes that will accommodate my structure of being. My demon has allowed me to operate in two realms. It is because of this that I live life with absolute confidence, I know I am not alone. I found that invisible forces are always conspiring in my favor – the only requirement being that I listen to the demon, that I let it consume me and make all the decisions. I found that the universe only wants me to nurture the demon, to take care of it, to stand by it and be proud of it. The demon is that inner voice in all of us. You see I found out that somehow, unconsciously we already know what we want, we are not lost in some maze, we are not the labels the world assigns to us – we are greatness! I found that to get what we are rightly entitled to [greatness] we need to follow our inner voices, our demons.
This has been reflected in history. Legendary artist Leonardo Da Vinci, work only on his paintings when his demon took ahold of him. He was very passionate about his work, he would work on a painting for 7 years incorporating realistic details on his artworks. Commentators often referred to Da Vinci as a procastinator. Because of those comments, history is unfavorable to such commentators. They are simply shunned and relegated to a world of fools. Da Vinci’s artworks are timeless and ranked among the most expensive in the world because of the time he spent working on them, because of the spectacular detail he added, because of the times he didn’t work on the paintings because he couldn’t access his demon. In making the perfect art, all conditions have to be perfect every time – you have to be one with yourself, you need to listen to your inner voice. Urban Poet, Kanye West created the perfect craft in 2010 with the release of “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”. He explained that the album took 5000 hours of manpower to create. The album is a burst of creative energy concocted by Kanye West’s demon. The title of the album is so descriptive and animated. The album is a piece of destiny and immortality. Another example of an artist who was consumed by his demon when he was working on his craft is Urban Poet Kendrick Lamar, who created without a doubt the greatest hip-hop album of all time with “To Pimp A Butterfly”. For the creative process of the album, he had to go to South Africa to learn more about apartheid and Nelson Mandela. The album explores human nature, greed, self-gratification and expediency, existentialism, suicide, self-appraisal and self-love, money, the plasticity of the human soul, self-exploration, fulfillment, peace and death. The album has been dubbed a classic and was recognized by the Academy who awarded it 5 Grammy awards. On the last song, “Mortal Man”, in a conversation with hip-hop legend 2Pac, Kendrick Lamar talks about his demon and how the spirits come from nowhere to possess him. He explains that he sometimes doesn’t know what type of energy his going to bring out into the world. 2Pac concurs and seems to understand, he responds that it’s the spirits of the “dead homies” speaking through him and that they are just the outlets. That is a sophisticated analogy considering Carl Jung’s work on the collective unconscious.
I want to meet Kanye West. No, I am going to meet Kanye West. That’s my decision, God and the Universe will deliver me to him. I don’t care how it happens and it’s not my problem. This is not a goal or a dream, this is destiny. I am drawn to Kanye, I have always been drawn to him, his energy, his creativity, his genius. I know Kanye, the media can say his crazy and bipolar but I don’t believe that. They did the same thing to Lauryn Hill and Dave Chappelle. Yea right, like Dave Chappelle and Lauryn Hill are crazy. So amusing. The media are trying to destroy a hero. But they can’t do that with Kanye. After that smear campaign he replied with “Jesus Is King” publicly repented and gave his life to christ. Isn’t that intelligent? Isn’t that the best chess move of all time? He made all this negative energy subside with one move. He controlled the situation. He laughed at it on “Ye” and squashed it on “Jesus Is King”. You can’t bring a man like that down. His always two steps ahead. His confidence is unshakable. He had the balls to run for president when the world was laughing at him. His not done, his going again in 2024 and I think he will make it. Everything he has ever done is a success. He manifests great things into the world. Like the time he publicly asked Mark Zuckerberg and the other Billionaires of the world to fund his ideas. He did it via Twitter and he just asked for 1 billion. Well, today his worth 5 billion and he has started implementing his ideas. He did it on his own. The Sunday Service Choir, he brought together the best singers in the country and formed the choir. Then he paid them himself. Every Sunday they performed and every Sunday he paid them. It was not about the money for Kanye, it was about the idea, the vision, the clothes, the colors, the visuals, the sound – Kanye made church cool. Kanye West is such a child! You see him with his ideas, the floating stages, I mean why Kanye? Surely, these floating stages cost you a lot of money. But he doesn’t care, his a visionary, an innovator, a genius. I admit it, I love Kanye and maybe I am projecting all my energy on him but still, this is real love. I have known him since “The College-dropout”, since “Last Call” a song that calibrates at a high energy level. On that song you get love, gratitude and fearlessness. His so open and intimate with his listeners. And that stroke of genius by adding Jay-Z to introduce the song, ah my goodness, that is so awesome because Jay-Z starts off by laughing, that energy is so awesome it vibrates and radiates. “Last Call” is a song for superheroes, that’s it! But it’s not just “Last Call”, the whole album is a classic! The intro, “We Don’t Care” is simply magical. But enough with “The College-dropout”. The was also “Late Registration” that was amazing. Graduation that was legendary. 808’s & Heartbreaks that was memorable. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy which is the best album I’ve ever heard and Yeezus which was like special. Yeezus is impossible to replicate, it’s an album that only Kanye can do, it’s so different and out the box, it is so good to listen to because you can hear the individual sounds. The beats are minimalist and heavy. Yeezus is engineering. Yeezus is an experience. Then you have “Watch the Throne”, I am not even going to say much about that. It’s Jay-Z & Kanye West! There’s nothing more to say. Ah Damn! Kanye, has always been in my life! I even had Yeeys! They came straight to me! Imagine that, they came to me, this is not an exaggeration! They came to me! They were so comfortable and dope! I loved them with my whole heart. The Universe can attest to this, it felt my love, I was grateful. My Yeeys were the shoes that took me to the library everyday. It was deep because I had like two pairs of shoes at the time. I used my Yeezys to walk all the way to the Library in Sandton everyday. It was like 14 kms a day and 70 kms per week. A month it was like 240kms. I remember looking at my Yeezys and thinking “Kanye you did it again!” “I love you Kanye!” Those Yeezys were great! They helped me go forward. They gave me confidence to move in the direction of my dreams. They gave me the opportunity to educate myself, to better my skill set, to be the best that I could be. I am what I am today because my Yeezys gave me a chance! A big shout-out to the Sandton Library, for a long time it was my happy place, my heaven, the best place in the world. I learned so much in that place. I am filled with feelings of gratitude. One day, I am going to meet Kanye and shake his hand and let him know that his the man! I am going to tell him how awesome “Bittersweet Poetry” was an ask him why “See Me Now” wasn’t on MBDTF, of course I understand why it was a bonus track but I want to be difficult. I want to thank him for everything that he has done in my life. For the girls who were in my life because of him. You know what’s so beautiful? The fact that his so young, his still in his early 40’s. I have a real chance to meet him. It’s all in my hands. I am going to meet Kanye West even if it’s the last thing I do!
