I found out I'm in a matrix. I can see beyond the matrix. I found God. I found myself. I believe Ye's music has gotten better with time. I just think you guys forgot who Kanye was. When you think back to the beginning of Kanye's rap career, you remember one core principle. He never goes back, and he's always ready to throw away. College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, and Good Ass Job was supposed to be the first four albums. But after graduation, he decided to scrap it. We get the coldest story ever told and a serious departure from what we thought we were going to get from Kanye. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is perfection personified. Yeezus reflected the frustration of not being able to become what he knew he was, and Life of Pablo feels like a victory lap. But it was around these four albums where I think people started to confuse what Kanye's albums are really about. Think bad, College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation felt like albums for us, but in truth, it was Kanye's hero's journey. College Dropout showing, okay. They didn't think I could. I did. Late Registration, I'm in the thick of it. And Graduation, did you realize that you are a champion? Yeah. High. But good ass job doesn't come because at the end of the day, that journey is done. Time for the heartbreak. Come back to these four. I found out I'm in a matrix. I can see beyond the matrix. I found Good. I found myself.

Because Because beautiful butt naked big titty women don't just fall out the sky. You know? You know? Ye is currently building a completely vertically integrated clothing company in public. It's almost impossible. Ye has been reflecting on Kanye's life, figuratively burning down the home that he was raised in. So what story is Ye gonna tell with Bully? I don't know. This is the least public public I've ever seen him. He said he was a genius. Now we all know it's true. There's nothing left to prove. We We know he's building his company. It feels like Bianca's the perfect woman for this phase of his life. And, yes, I'm a firm believer that love comes in phases. It's just that most of us never change after 30. Gay is change. What does a man with nothing left to prove prove with his music? I don't know, but I'm excited to hear it. Damn. Damn. Did I ruin your plans? Plans. Plans. Well, that's the way I am. Gave in all I had. My feelings are the facts of it. It's more of me to navigate. Pray we never crash. Crash. Crash. Today worst always
