Kanye turns 49 today.
He was a Chicago kid chopping soul samples for Roc-A-Fella.
The Blueprint runs on his fingerprints. Izzo. Heart of the City.
Then he dropped College Dropout and made backpacker rap a number one album.
Dropout. Late Registration. Graduation. 808s. MBDTF.
That's a five-album run nobody touches.
Nobody's talking politics today. Nobody's talking the merch.
Strictly the catalog, pre-2016, back when it was untouchable.
Happy birthday, Ye.
The arguments about you ain't ending anytime soon.
