Now when I say art comes from the heart, I really mean from the heart. My man Kanye West is the perfect blend of heart and mind music. Now when I say heart music of course you know I'm talking about music that is written from the heart. Or lyrics that has been inspired by some real events that sculptured an artist mind. Now when I say mind I also mean that when it comes to how an artist would like for a song to be perceived he or she uses his mind or his artistic creativity to paint a picture so that we can understand clearly the message that's being promoted.
When it comes to promoting a new song Kanye West comes close to Micheal Jackson as one can get. Remember when Micheal would release a new song/video the world would stop. Last week that's exactly what happened when Kanye's face appeared on 66 buildings around the world. That's right, he had his video shown on random walls around the world. Now that's taking it to the streets to an whole another level.
The song that was featured during this promotional blitz was called New Slaves. Just by the name itself you can tell that Kanye is still dropping some useful lyrics. The subject matter of the song pulls no punches and he spits the realist lyrics in-regards to the struggle since Public Enemy. I really think what he is saying on the track should have been said to this current generation of rap fans for a while now. But when you think about it Kanye is the only one to be able to pull this type of revolutionary music off and be excepted by everybody. The other song that's causing a stir is titled Black Skinhead. For those that didn't know Kanye west performed both joints on the season finale of Saturday Night Live.
Now to wrap everything up that I was trying to say in simple terms. I am exited about how Kanye West promoted his new song titled New Slaves, it reminded me of something Micheal Jackson would've done in his prime. And my last point is Kanye West have been giving his fans and music lovers some conscious music submerged in what is considered Blazin Hip Hop and R&B. But if you are a true listener of lyrics you can hear all of the pan-african/pro black undertones in his work. It seems like this time around Kanye West is letting the cat ( Black Panther) out of the bag. Until next time have some fun and get something done.
