EPISODE SUMMARY:
Hip-hop has a musical community and culture surrounding it unlike any other. From the casual listener to the hardcore nerd, the people who love the genre create the fashion, the lingo and even the superstars who define it. There are few artists who are as beloved by fans of all stripes as rapper-producer Kanye West. And it was his 2010 masterpiece My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that led that community to elevate him beyond just a pioneer in the genre to a global figure. DJ and comedian Cipha Sounds knows this, as his time at Hot 97 and on MTV has seen him positioned at the heart of the hip-hop world for years.
