The Tragic Fall of Kanye West (Pt1)

In this episode of the Black Media Breakdown, we look at the early career of Kanye West and how he completely reshaped hip hop and black masculinity in the early 2000s.

I explain why this time period was so significant to the culture and to a lot of black men, and why so many of us are (foolishly?) holding out hope that Kanye reconnects with the person he was.

Along the way, you'll get a short history lesson on hip hop before and after Kanye as well as a crash course in the world of Professional Wrestling... yeah I'm doing a lot here!
