#1. Kanye West
Those who counted out Kanye after the whole Taylor Swift debacle were thoroughly wrong; If anything he is stronger now than he ever was. Not only does Hip-Hop watch and anticpate what Yeezy’s gonna do next, most of the music world does too. And this is after taking a year off. Think about it; in a few short months, Kanye has:
Released “Power” and the “Portrait of Power” music video
Joined Twitter
Put on private perfromances at top social networking offices of Twitter & Facebook
Started G.O.O.D. Friday: Realeasing a new song every Friday until Christmas (Including artists like Jay-Z, Mos Def, Justin Beiber, Raekwon, Swizz Beatz, & RZA)
Open the BET Awards and closed the MTV VMA’s
Announced an upcoming collaborative album by him & Jay-Z called Watch The Throne
Guest edited an issue of XXL Magazine (He also had the cover)
Made his G.O.O.D. Music team stronger (Signed Pusha T & had the G.O.O.D. Music Cypher at the BET Hip Hop Awards)
Released the 35 minute short film Runaway
Oh yea, and he still has to drop his album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy at the end of November. You can call it a comeback – B-Easy
