'During my high school years, its the music that i felt really saved me. It kept me out of the streets, it kept me from getting into trouble, it gave me something to do when i got kicked off the basketball team. You just get lost in the music. That's what i did.'
-Kanye West
This quote by Kanye West shows his sincerity for music, and that his enthusiasm for R&B isn't just superficial and a want for fame and money, but it stems deeper than that. Kanye West seems to mean what he sings and be emotionally involved with the music industry as he believes it was his saviour in early life and kept him on the straight and narrow.
