Kanye West rap at a record store in 1996

The desire to "impose" on the scene is one of the priorities of Kanye since the beginning of his career; while in the role of producer has rapidly established himself as one of the best, his skills as a rapper are often challenged. 

Today we want to go back in time, exactly in 1996. 2Pac died in that year, Take That broke up .. and Kanye had already decided that he would do his best to show the world who he was, just nineteen, he takes part in the realization eight tracks on the first disc of Grav "Down To Earth", which has allowed him to develop his second career: that of the manager / scout. At a distance of 18 years was found this video posted by DJ Eclipse, owner of the historic Fat Beats record store in New York (closed in 2010) to the guys at Complex which incorporates Yeezy at the inauguration of his shop.

Kanye is today one of the major deities of Olympus golden 'hip-hop. Between obsessions and thousands of collaborations, is without doubt the most active rapper / producer out there. One of the guardians of contemporary hip-hop.

Extremely arrogant presumption with delusions of omnipotence and you say .. yes sure, but the guy is pretty damn good ... whether you like it or not.
