The amount of pull Kanye West has is crazy.

Remember people were clowning him for saying how influential he was, but here we are with executives and presidents asking to meet with him and see what's wrong. They don't want Kanye to criticize them, dude's opinion has plenty of weight.

Did they ask,or did he cry and beg these dudes for meetings:patrice:?

Why don't he try to make the BET hiphop awards means something again like the Source Awards did:mjpls:? Remember when being judged and respected among your peers meant something:mjcry:?Kany has done nothing but use his influence to downplay the respectability of being a hiphop artist....Its his influence that gave a voice to these cac hipster blogs, that have drowned out,and downplayed the voices and the opinions of the black masses:mjpls:...Shielded rappers like him from the critique and cold backhand of their own people and culture.

Your right he is influential,so influential that if I could send a Terminator back in time to assassinate anybody in the history of hiphop,he's probably right at the top of that list....And it would be me who's putting on for the culture:banderas:
