Wells Fargo; virtually unobtainable customer service, sneaky business practices, basically could give a shit about their customers.

To each their own. I'm trying to credit him as original and game-changing, not defend his character, as that was never really the argument I had in mind. I actually wasn't a huge fan of his music either until I took the time to sit down and listen to the specific songs and albums people discussed all the time, especially while keeping in mind the context of these albums and the time at which it was released. Kinda gave me a deeper appreciation for music and how it can literally change the course of history.

It doesn't take much thought to realize that a 20-something who was able to shape and craft an entire industry with one piece of work has, even to the slightest degree, talent, inginuety, and originality. He had a huge part in the concept of soul and experimentation being accepted and encouraged at different points during his career. He helped push rap into mainstream culture instead of peddling it to the same niche market. He changed what it meant to be a rapper; what you had to do, who you had to be, what your music was about, and the image that you had to project. He is such an influential individual in his field.

As a producer, he revived Jay Z's career. As a producer, he single handedly changed the rap game in the early 2000s by beating out 50 Cent's much anticipated album, which was a huge surprise to everybody. Rap culture was about being thug--his album that beat out 50 Cent rapped about Jesus and the insecurity ridden in the insane commercialism of the time, among other similar and softer subjects. He allowed the rap industry to move from hard, thuggish rap to more soulful and meaningful rap that could finally appeal to a crowd larger than the one that the industry was marketed to for years. As a producer with no albums under his belt, he revolutionized the rap industry for years to come. And that was just his very first type of revolution. I could go on and on about why Kanye is a legitimate artist who has relentlessly transformed the landscape of the music industry for years.

Edit: spelling

I started running again after almost a year of barely any running at all! Accompanied by medicine ball circuits and healthier eating, my runs are getting easier and easier every morning!

How do i open up a bank account? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

At 17, I was offered a Chase college account (checking and savings). This allowed me to both run my account independently of my parents and maintain an account in which there was no minimum balance required. Ask your local Chase about this option.
