[@mackinshizzaveli4202]

I heard this beat the first time on an instrumental CD at my friends house. I didn’t know who made it what it was called, I just knew I needed that beat. I paid him 10 bucks for that CD and I listened to it on repeat for months until the actual song came out. There are too many great beats in hip hop to have one greatest but it’s definitely in the conversation.

If I were Kanye and I were ever feeling down or sad about anything, I would put this instrumental on for while, sit around and listen. Just let my mind reflect on all the shit I’ve been through. Finding love, building a family, having friends, traveling the world, building a brand, becoming a Star, getting my Roc A Fella Chain, meeting Jay for the first time, selling my first beat. Think about being locked in that room working on these beats with no money to eat, hoping that this shit pays off later. Think about my mom and how much she loved me and supported my vision and what she and my dad went through and how life was for them and how things got to this point and where I will go from here and finding God again. Kanye West is one of the greatest artists of all time in any era, any genre. God bless him.
