happy new year kanye gd job
I don't think he will go back to hiphop just because that would get him platinum faster. He will go back to rapping if he wants to, my impression is that he just makes the music he feels like, not thinking off sales and so on..
Congrats to Kanye. The only muthafukka in the rap game besides Andre 3000 who can do different, creative shit and make it work. Truly a talented artist. Peace.
