#HNNMusic: 10 years after Kanye West's College Dropout. Remembering that nite at the club in #ATL

Kanye West and I

#HNNMusic LIVE Join me @HNNAFRICA on Twitter for music rants. The story of how nobody believed in @KanyeWest on getting his first record deal as a RAPPER after producing so long for many including Jay-Z. This is the photo at that first album release party February 2004. His mom the late Dr. Donda West took this picture with my then throwaway camera. What I did not know was that 10 years later this picture will become historical. I got famous, Kanye and even John Legend in the background behind us at Visions nightclub in Atlanta, Georgia USA. February 10th 2004. Everyone was in the club that nite. Even Pastor Troy holding my drink below. Nobody knew Kanye unless you knew him as Jay-Z's Producer.

Listen to my phone call to Yeezy in London during his U.K tour in 2008 where he insists his NO CELEBRITY

#HNNMusic Was Kanye really arrogant? He was solidly surrounded by dream killers. Everyone in the industry did not believe in him.
