G.O.O.D. Music Cypher

If you have not witnessed the reemergence of Kanye West's miraculous comeback after his disastrous almost career-ending Taylor Swift altercation/debauchery that happened a year ago, the rock you have been under must have its own kitchen and bathroom because you were obviously pretty comfortable down there.

This past year Kanye West took some time off, staying out of the spotlight to get his life together as well as working on honing his craft, taking his new material/music to new heights. This pause in the spectrum may have been the best thing for him as well as the music world.

Since his return, Kanye has done nothing but drop G.O.O.D. music that in a sense has returned him to the beginning, which is the type of music the people have yearned to hear from him since day one.

Seeing Kanye's work ethic as of late has made it almost impossible for me to want to slack off just even a little bit. It seems Mr. West took some advice from the college dropout album teacher and woke up only to be refreshed with a new look on life and a brilliant new career.

The fact that Kanye didn't give up after having a melt down from his mother passing away, losing his girlfriend and whatever other person battles he had to overcome showed the preservance and humility within his spirit. Honestly, by him taking a break to do some soul searching is very commendable.

Not to mention, watching Kanye screw up royally, then come back to the spotlight not only better but stronger, I think its safe to say that if anyone makes a mistake, which all people do, the only way to rectify the situation is apologize, don't dwell and get back to the roots of whatever it is that makes your gift, to be perfectly clear, great.

Many times we go through things in our life that will push us close to the edge almost destroying us, but the human spirit, ever so resilient, always fights to make things right.

The truth is most people may not have been able to handle that amount of overwhelming pressure and this is the very difference between those that are stars and those that never quite make it. The stars continue to shine even when everyone else says the light is out.

Personally, I always feel like every piece of hard work you put into your talent is worth something awesome. The minute you decide to give up, is the very moment some schmuck will pick up your left-over pieces, only to take "your" spot and shine exactly the way you were meant to.

I just have a never give up attitude because I don't want anyone taking the place that I worked hard for. I don't know that's just me though.

Anyway, Kanye and his record Label G.O.O.D. Music crew including Common and Pusha T, formerly of the Clipse, performed the last of 4 cyphers at the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards. From this heart felt performance, I think its safe to say that Mr. West is still MAJOR.
