    there’s a youtube video essay about this, i can’t remember what it was called

    but it was basically talking about how Kanye broke through the kayfabe in rap music, and that being his most important feat in the music industry

    kayfabe?

    It’s a term they use in the WWE, basically refers to how wrestlers stay in character on and off screen. The essayist compared it to rap music where rappers played up their “gangster” persona’s and how Kanye played the largest role in breaking through that.

    thus giving rappers like drake, gambino, big sean, tyler, etc a lane to operate in
