This book is a collection of about twelve Yeezy songs, each one prefaced by some notes about it, basically an abbreviated diary entry about the song. And the illustrations are amazing. A must for any real Ye fan. So glad it's part of my collection now! :D
Being able to read the lyrics and the meaning behind them made me appreciate The College Dropout CD more than I did. Good read.
An interesting read. Fascinating to read the lyrics, along with their interpretation and influence.
A brief exploration of the meaning behind Kanye's lyrics, written by the man himself.
