About this playlist
Kanye West made the unlikely transition from producer to rapper by carrying the torch for ‘90s conscious rap groups, speaking fearlessly on tracks like “Jesus Walks” about racism, economic inequality and religion. And even as his production has incorporated more diverse and aggressive influences, as in “New Slaves”, his lyrics have remained full of bold social commentary.
