Kanye

Regarding Kanye and the whole greek thing. I want to know WHY he mentions greek life so much in music (on his CD and the Dilated Peoples song).

Most artist (from spoken word to Folk to Hip Hop) create/write based on their life experiences. That's why Grandmaster Flash's Melle Mel's lyrics on "the Message" was so powerful(sp?).

If 50, Jadakiss, Jigga and a million other mc's can reference their former crack/cocaine sells in a record, and Spoken word artist reference 'bad relationships' and such.... Why wouldn't Kanye reference College life?
