It was the Chicago artist’s first work released after his self-imposed exile to Oahu, Hawaii, following media crucifixion due to his controversial outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when the emcee intoxicatedly interrupted Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video acceptance speech. It was August 5 I was in an Orlando, Florida, hotel room on a family trip to Disney World, sitting in front of the television screen in full anticipation for MTV's exclusive premiere of Ye’s latest single, “Power.” I’ll never forget the beginning of the My Dark Twisted Fantasy rollout. Needless to say, Kanye West’s influence on me was undeniable from the beginning.
I was a victim of the Shutter Shade trend prompted by the “Stronger” music video. My first iPod in 2008 was loaded up with all of Ye’s releases up until that point, including 808s and Heartbreak. Kanye West became my favorite rapper the very moment I heard "Jesus Walks".
