Who Gives Kudos:

Because this is what folk music is about. enjoy.



Dear Kanye
You're letting me down
You got the biggest bat in the game
But you can't hit the ball
It's the heavy weight match
And you're off in the corner punchin' at the wall

Dear Kanye
Don't let us fall
You're at the diplomatic dinner
With fine china and all
A silver fork in your hand
But still you spit and gnaw

Greatness is a glass elevator, and so you are, if I recall
So use it make some real change not just advertisements at the mall

No one needs a light show
Just good flows
You don't need a light show
Just good flows

Dear Kanye
Keep icin those knees
And when your paycheck comes
Will you remember your busted screen
Your crown of thorns is sensational
But it's not what makes you bleed

Cause there's a young man
His rhymes set him free
He loves what you do but he can't seem
To shake the septic sanction of the streets
He's reading your blog and all he finds are commercials
For stuff he'll never need

You have a good idea now put some shoes on its feet
And try to make your Loop Dreams a real priority

You don't need a light show
Just good flow
No one needs a light show
Just good flow
You don't need a light show
Just good flow

Dear Kanye
It's time to let go
You've gathered the moss of
More than a dozen sullen stones
People want music on a real stage
Not the one you bring along

It's about time somebody stood up (sat down?) and told Kanye what everyone really wants...

just good flows.

Kudos to you, Ben Sollee!

Dig it! Kanye could do so much if he'd just stop focusing on his ego. Thanks so much for saying it so poetically.

Yeah....I am a huge Kanye fan. Rather than opinionate on your post, I will just compiment you on what I have heard of you so far. You have a great sound. Kanye also has a great sound, and he has saved hip-hop. He has more substance than anyone else who is commercially successful in the hip-hop genre. No one is perfect in all facets, but Kanye is the closest thing to hip-hop royalty we have right now! Great music, Ben!
