Fair play Kanye West

I Like my rap old school ( Run DMC ) but a story from MTV has made me a very big fan of Mr. Kanye West.from MTV. com ( http://www. mtv. com/news/articles/1591258/20080721/west_kanye. jhtml )

'...an upcoming MTV News special, "Choose or Lose & Kanye West Present: Homecoming," the Chicago MC and MTV's Sway Calloway give returning veterans the surprise of their lives during home visits where they listen to the soldiers' stories and express gratitude for their service.The one-hour special, which airs July 28 at 10 p.m. ET, will feature West and Calloway dropping in unexpectedly at the homes of some Iraq war veterans and seeing firsthand the often difficult and painful challenges the young vets face after returning home.West didn't just listen, though. On behalf of MTV and the Dr. Donda West Foundation — named in honor of the rapper's late mother — Sway and West gave each veteran a life-changing gift, from paying off their debts to taking care of their rent or tuition. ....'

So Fair Play Mr. West. Good on ya! He seems to know that the rap game is just that, a game. And he gave back to the brave folks of the U.S. military.He has a big fan here for life.
