The Kanye Buzz

Kanye is on the August 2005 cover of Time Magazine.

"Why You Can't Ignore Kanye (Fall Preview) More GQ than gangsta, Kanye West is challenging the way rap thinks about race and class--and striking a chord with fans of all stripes"

I like Kanye West as much as the next girl, but this new joint you have out with Jamie Foxx is giving me mixed feelings about you. The beat is hot, the hook is addictive, but the content??? Tell me, did some female do you so bad that in every other song you have to talk about gold digging, no good, hood rat mamma's and the baby daddy's they abuse? Last I checked there are more single mothers than than these men of which you speak. Now, I'm not trying to play tit for tat. I know we got some trifling women and some decent dads, but the way you sing man, I feel like your giving off the impression that most black women are gold diggers and as a good sista I'm not feeling that.
