Summary
“I Think Prince and Mike was tryna warn me” - Kanye West
Kanye West has taken up the personal mission to bring change to the oft-criticized music industry. He did so by taking to twitter, peeing on his grammy and exposing his own contracts. There are over a hundred pages of contracts on Twitter for all the world to see. Kanye has set forth a 7 point plan to ‘push the’ music industry into the 21st century’. He declared that he is the new Moses. But he isn’t wrong. His criticism of the music industry echos so many others, most notably Prince...whose fight with Sony Music lead to him changing his name to a symbol. There is a lot to talk about so let’s break it down!
