Happy 10th birthday to #KanyeWest album that started it all. #TheCollegeDropout
Long before he was Yeezus, Kanye West was a college dropout and a producer-turned-rapper getting ready to drop his debut album. Long before the razor-sharp, grindingly raw sounds of summer 2013’s Yeezus was the sample-heavy, instant classic that turns ten years old today. The Kanye West that created The College Dropout seems vastly different from the Kanye West that created Yeezus, and both are different from the rapper that created My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and so on. But that is precisely what makes Kanye West such a force to be reckoned with in today’s musical climate: he has an artistic vision, the talent to bring it alive, and the audacity to continue to push the envelope in terms of his sound and image.

When Mincraft first hit the Xbox, I was hooked. I played hours at a time and all full on with it. Didn't really play another game. Surprising I was even able to blog during that time. Anyways, I been off it for like a year and I'll been sucked back in. I have two projects that I'm working on. I have this massive stadium that is just mid blowing. Maybe, I'm a little to end over my head. Nah, the other project and the closest to home is the regular world. The one I started when I first started playing the game. I'm thinking about doing a day where you can check them out. Maybe add something to them if you want.

Created by Lieutenant Colonel Allen Allensworth in 1908, the town was built with the intention of establishing a self-sufficient city where African Americans could live their lives free of racial prejudice.
