for all the shyt he talked, he delivered on this.
Kanye was a weirdo in this era too. It was overlooked. This was the beginning and the bigger he became, the weirder he got. He told us
"And I still won't grow up, I'm a grown ass kid
Swear I should be locked up for stupid s- that I did"
People forget him flipping out at the AMA's in 2004. While I agree Kanye was the best nrw artist that year, him throwing that temper tantrum after Gretchen Wilson won was the public's first glimpse of the Kanye we see now. It got worse because we as his fans championed the behavior because we agreed with the statements he was making back then and the music was dope.
I remember the build-up from the "I'm Good" mixtape and "College Dropout Mixtape" before the album. The freestyles, loosies and of course, "All Falls Down" with Lauryn Hill that didn't get cleared for the album.
The album was everywhere and loved by everyone. What a time.
