Kanye West has been on the cover of almost every music/style magazine in the past few months. This post isnt about to beat you over the head with the same old bullshit story about how Kanye is the voice of our generation. Instead, I will be commenting and reflecting on Kanye's contributions to our generation as an entrepreneur, specificly through the creation of his label G.O.O.D. Music.
Kanye might be an emcee, rapper, producer, but he started as a songwriter. He made his name by producing Jay's immortal Blueprint, as well as collaborations with Talib Kweli, Alicia Keys and Luda. Yeeze is goin back to his roots in the booth. GOOD Music is a label with a selective roster, featuring mainly conscious rappers who flirt with the mainstream. John Legend and Common are two of the bigger names on the label, each gained much fame and success from letting Kanye work his magic in the booth.
With Kanye as the active executive of GOOD Music, a subsidiary of Sony Music, he is making moves towards the future. Look out for G.O.O.D.'s newest signings, because with a little help from the Dropout Professor, they will be the next Common or John Legend. Keep up to date with Kanye's apprentices via the GOOD Music Website or Wisdomclothes.com (yea we got a domain bc we big peoples now). Specifically keep an eye ball out for KiD CuDi, Consequence and Sa-Ra.
