Bring the noise! {Kanye West/Common}

Kanye West and Common are two of the most realest artist in my book. I don’t even like to call them rappers but more outspoken poets. They advocate so clearly on realistic things. Visual situations that are happening right here and now but actually have a point and a meaning to them. Their lyrics make you think of things that everyone worries about but are never brave enough to come out and say. Although they seem to have the same qualities and values they have a couple differences. Kanye West was born in Atlanta, Georgia but then moved to Chicago due to the divorce of his parents. He attended Chicago State University but dropped out because of poor grades. I believe his album college dropout was meant to depict that he made it anyway. Common, other wise known as Lonnie Rashied Lynn, Jr. was born in Chicago but was moved to Denver, Colorado by the divorce of his parents as well. He attended Florida A&M University and dropped out also. I feel that both Common and Kanye were dogged in their music career because people tried disparaging them most of their lives. They went through much and still managed to find a way to the top.
