I was in a barber shop as a kid and i heard Through the Wire on the radio. Also Gold Digger on BET

probably something before but vividly remember jarhead tv spot with jesus walks

I dont even know 🤔

stronger and gold digger

Nothing special really, when I started taking an interest in rap I checked out a few artists, asked for recommendations, etc. Then listened to College Dropout and Late Registration and absolutely loved them.

Stronger

what a song

As a 8 year old kid,Through the Wire music video, while sitting on my bunk bed with my sister in Providence, RI.

Gold Digger being the biggest song in the world

mojo so dope by cudi

found out cudi was kanye’s protege, decided to listen to MBDTF since it was nominated for the grammys around that time

friend pirated it for me; listened to it once and thought it sucked; waited 6 months, rediscovered it. wanted to delete it for hard drive space, but wanted to listen to it one more time before... fell in love with it and am a fan to this day

First heard about him when he said George Bush doesn’t care about black people

Got introduced to his music through this:

Hearing CD singles/videos. F***ed with them heavy then the day the album dropped my dad took me to FYE to get it. I was 14.

Heard All Falls Down on the radio I believe

taylor swift incident, hated ye at first so never bothered to listen to his music. then i found out he produced the hardest tracks on the blueprint, so i gave him a chance. best choice of my life

Awesome

i was reading the rolling stones too 500 most influential albums list i think in high school. i was just listening to random artists when i saw 808s on there and i was like "oh it's kanye, that dude everyone hates". i listened to it and my life has never been the same. never again was i so close minded due to public perception.

Kinda always knew of him off of radio hits growing up but Through the Wire video played on like Fuse in 2008 or so and I was amazed. Then small things like Ego remix, Blueprint 3 songs and Taylor Swift brought me closer up until MBDTF era when I was fully in

Hearing Jesus Walks on TV/Radio as a kid
