HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!
This is going to be fire. It’s a themed concept album so you its going to be great. If hip hop was still alive everyone would be talking about this and not Kanyes upcoming album.
I’m excited for this.
Hip hop has never died moron. If you think otherwise, you are too lazy to search for the doper hip hop artists out there. Your loss though.
